there is a weatlh of knowledge about argento...as most of his flics are on DVD....Phenomon....i just watched last night...
: Hey, sorry I couldn't get back to you sooner, but yes, my name is a reference to the great Giallo
: Horror master, Dario Argento. I just registered for this board a couple days ago, just so I could ask
: my 'Forked Tongue' question. I wanted to use Suspiria as my board name, as that's my favorite
: Argento film, but it was already taken.
: Funny thing is, I haven't even seen Deep Red yet. In fact, I didn't even know Argento existed until
: about three months ago. I have seen Suspiria, Terror at the Opera, Trauma, and Creepers, as well
: as a documentary about him called World Of Horror. Suspiria was absolutely incredible, and has
: officially become my favorite movie. Sorry Kevin. Terror at the Opera is very good, also. Trauma
: was acceptable. Creepers, I discovered, is the horribly edited American release of his movie
: Phenomena. It's missing about 20 minutes of footage! I was so pissed when I found this out.
: Anyway, I'm now on a quest to view and purchase every movie he has directed. I'm not really
: interested in stuff he's produced, like Lamberto Bava's 'Demons'. Just stuff he's directed. Everything
: from 'The Bird With Crystal Plumage' to 'Phantom of the Opera'. Even 'Five Days of Milan'. I also
: can't wait for his newest project, 'I Can't Sleep'. I'm sure it will be great.
: The trouble with Argento movies, however, is it's hard to find them. Especially if you live in North
: Dakota! And even if you can find them, they are usually edited versions, like that piece of crap
: Creepers or even worse, Unsane(shitty version of Tenebre). So, if you happen to know where I can
: get my hands on some good, unedited versions of Argento films, you would be my hero for life.
: Anyway, reply here or drop me a line at kagong@hotmail.com. We'll shoot the shit about Argento
: or whatever else.
: DeepRed, aka Jeremiah Provorse
: P.S.- Isn't it great to have a favorite director that most other people don't know exists?
