Nah. I disagree.

I'm gonna' watch this film for a sexy Nun fix (and because it's by Paul Verhoeven who is a fantastic director).

More sexy Nun films please.

Come up with something new Hollywood


Sorry for mentioning this here. It seems particularly redundant given that the OP has deleted their account. But I've seen this type of comment a surprising number of times on this website.

Has a subset of Americans started to use the word 'Hollywood' as a metonym not only for the cinema of the USA -- which, to me, is questionable enough -- but just for cinema in general -- which is, frankly, cretinous?

reply

Some people do use 'Hollywood' as an all encompassing word for the creative heads of films the world over, as if they're the governing body of cinema as a whole. They do talk like there is a board of directors named 'Hollywood' who dictate everything that happens in every film that's released.

It's not technically correct, but you'll have to get used to people using it in that manner.

No need for a qualifier. It flatly just isn't correct. And 'some people' should stop being so insular.

It's a whole sub-genre of exploitation filmmaking. Peaked in the 70s/80s (European, mainly Italian) but still has its dedicated followers!

I have a poster of Bruno Mattei’s The Other Hell (1981) proudly displayed on the wall in my house. 😊

reply

I am very jealous! It's Mattei, I know, but I really like that film!

reply

It’s a really interesting one, and I found it for like 10 dollars at a convention. I’ll have to post a pic of it for ya.

That's really nice. Bit different to a lot of Italian film posters of the time.

I certainly agree. I was also excited that Franca Stoppi was on it. I love how she always played super weird characters in these films.
