I'm so fucking annoyed that Fiona got shafted despite being the most important character for nine seasons. She was more of a father figure than Lip was. I love Lip, but what the fuck? One missed phone call two seasons ago and then they all act like she doesn't even exist? I don't even know if I liked this episode because I'm so caught up on the fact that they shafted my homegirl.
I hate Pete so much!
I might be the only person on this site who loves both Cannibal Holocaust and Paul Williams. So, as a huge Paul Williams fan, the songs in Phantom of the Paradise really struck a chord with me, as did the 70s vibe.
As for the rest? Even at his best DePalma borders on kitsch, and indie-DePalma falls indie kitsch vat and what he drags out of it doesn't smell too good. Not to menton the atrocious song dubbing... Let's just say I can only name 3 rock musical horror comedies and this is my second favorite (between Rocky Horror and Little Shop of Horrors).
Still, the soulful songs, Paul Williams and the big screen premiere of the wonderful Jessica Harper (who would go on to star in 1977's Suspira) makes this film a recommend.
And if you can't handle me at my Cannibal Holocaust, you don't deserve me at my Paul Williams.
bullying is real bad, mmkay?
