- Tell us something.: "Tell us something" hits me a bit like someone asking me to tell a joke. I can always think of a hundred of them until someone asks me for one. You know how it is. Right now, I can't think of "something" to tell you. But I have to use at least 100 characters to inform you of that.

I know why: A kid's movie that turns out to have universal appeal, even wisdom beyond its years?chrisoff wrote:Fyffer's post just reminded me of one (not sure why):

Thought it was going to be rubbish, but it turned out to be excellent.

The Brotherhood of Satan. A total shlock B-movie about an isolated small town - of course - populated with a coven that...um...what's the word for it when you take up residence in a newer, younger body - someone else's, of course - when yours is old and worn out?
Anyway, the one true gem amid the swill was the coven-master or whatever he'd get called. I don't think there's even such a thing, but, hey, they're Satanists, not Wiccans. And it's the Cineverse; they wear tacky crimson satin robe things at their rituals. But I digress. This fellow's priest-ish character was inspired, and gave truly, truly great theater especially at the altar. I'm not kidding. It was almost sublime. No, it was sublime. I found myself thinking, Now here's a promising career meeting a spectacular halt. I'm witnessing a riveting, beautiful, professional disaster couched in a B-movie. The humanity of it. And the incantations in general were believable and caught the ear. There was a real poetically rhythmic foundation in them. They sounded genuinely old.
The rest of it...meh. Predictable dreck. But I'd watch it again just for the "Satanic" priest. It was almost like it was two separate movies. Weird.
