I don't understand a damn thing here.. I quickly read the review and found a bunch of references to England.. but weren't they New Yorkers?!?!?!?!?.. Thundesteel isn't one of the cornerstones of American power metal?!?!? Am I missing something?!?!?

I saw the film a few months ago, but I still can't figure out if it's a joke or a visionary masterpiece (but I strongly doubt it..) For sure, in some sequences it's so cheesy, contrived, and shamelessly new age that at times I almost gave up during the viewing. I remember the soundtrack being good... but at this point, I even feel like doubting that too..

I quote Occulto for the choice of the best episodes. Some titles could already be found in Italian on the mule (like Candidato Maledetto..), but I didn't know they had been released on DVD!

Listened to it for the umpteenth time this morning in the car, stuck in traffic, in the rain with cigarette smoke filling the car...

...that's really a load of crap! with Superman playing the doctor and Kirstey Alley as the chubby scientist... That other one disappointed me too... the one with the alien... what was it called?!?!?

It would have been hard to make a better reception! Great job! Personally, I have never considered this film among the minor episodes of Carpenter's filmography... on the contrary, it's one of those I've enjoyed rewatching the most! However, I have never been enthusiastic about The Fog... Hawks' original is something completely different (just take a look at the almost "carefree" tone of some - very dense - dialogues, while here everything is definitely more "hallucinatory"..)! Really great job, Black!

@lux: 1) review talk. Your reasoning is quite respectable and shareable (and, I’ll tell you, I expected no less from you :)). I still don’t agree with it, but I don’t see why I should insist on changing your mind: heaven forbid that we start discussing what vote to give to a review! :D! 2) power talk. ..well! I believe that power has, over time, become a genre that, in some ways, is very "teenage": there are the big bad guitars and the choruses that sound epic. There are the big ballads that even the girl likes (damn! "Forever" by Stratovarius seems to have been written for 16-year-olds trying to make out like metallers! :D!) and all these musicians with good-boy faces that even momma likes.. Yet, in my opinion, there’s still something good, if not excellent (or perhaps it would be better to say there has been..). Albums like Episode, LOTF, and Imaginations From The Other Side still represent excellent heavy power albums today (not to mention some things from the American scene) that have nothing to do with the ridiculousness and trivialities that have too often accompanied the genre in more recent years. Take Blind Guardian, for example: I started listening to them in the early nineties (between Twilight World and Somewhere) and, back then (forgive me but I don’t know how old you are..), I assure you that not only did nobody care about them, but they were even quite "respected" in the metal scene. In short: what you call "underlying tackiness" I believe was a distortion that occurred later, which does not affect some truly excellent albums like the ones you yourself indicated. That’s all.
