(Ok, I fully intend to rent, and probably buy this movie in a few years. But my relations won't allow it in the house, so watching it via the links through sendspace is the only way I'll get hooked on and later BUY the movie ... please don't sue me!)
*shiver shiver*
Wow, just saw part 2 of Revengers Tragedy and my GOD is that some freaky stuff!
Part 1:
There's this lovely music and the satellite-in-outer-space-zooms-into-earth-thing, some shots of Liverpool (no idea where that is) and some suburban houses - nobody, and then a bus slowly rolls down the street and crashes into a car - which I laughed at until we went into the bus and everyone's been shot and there are a bunch of flies buzzing about ... ick!
Then CE pops up with just the right amount of hair and looking rather hot. He walks along a street, shaving his head *sob* and gets accosted by some punks who demand to know if he's a 'Cockney' which I don't understand - aren't those people who have the really weird English accents? - but that doesn't matter because CE proceeds to kick their asses and it's all very cool and funny and he's so badass. Then he stalks off and a big TV screen thingie says something I don't understand. I'm beginning to think that'll be a theme in this movie ...
Part 2:
CE grabs a small white flower and descends into some catacombs under some church - there are nuns in black and candles and stone and such - and ducks into this alcove thing and pulls down something. I thought it was a statue or a vase at first - then I saw that it was a SKULL with HAIR ON IT. EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEWWW!
(Alas, poor Yorick's sister ... I knew her Horatio!)
Then CE starts talking to the SKULL - in Old English. Shakespearian. (I just finished performing Romeo and Juliet, too!) It's dead sexy, even though he's holding a HUMAN SKULL. I think there's something wrong with me ...
The gist of what he's saying is that she was once his love and she was so pretty before (not that hard to do, I'm afraid - the skull is black and creepy with a bunch of auburn hair) and then the poor guy's crying (his eyes get all red, like me!) and then he turns and is TALKING TO US, like, staring at the camera, and holding the skull next to his head and it's CREEPY AS HELL. Ah, thank you for looking away again, CE. It's not that I don't like you - quite the contrary - it's just a tad unsettling to be SPOKEN TO in OLD ENGLISH by a HOT MAN holding a HUMAN SKULL at TWO IN THE MORNING.
Apparently the Duke (bet he's important later) poisoned her when she wouldn't sleep with him - the Duke, not CE, though that kinda goes without saying, doesn't it? - and there are all these sad shots of a woman with a bunch of freckles (the kind that go all over a person's neck and arms, not just her face) and CE in a PONYTAIL *got giggly* he's in a suit and she's in this soft violet dress with a veil thing in her hair and there are people in fancy dress around them dancing so I guess they were married. And there's this guy with a cigar (bet he turns out to be EVIL) laughing with a group of people at the reception and CE and Soon-to-be-HUMAN-SKULL sip some champagne and the camera zooms in on her glass and I see that she has light purple nailpolish on and we zip back to the catacombs because CE yells 'NO!' all anguished and ducks down a bit - when he straightens back up there's a bunch of soot or dust of whatever on his forehead, which is just FREAKY and two nuns are staring at the hot, upset man holding a HUMAN SKULL.
Then, the REALLY FREAKY THING happens:
CE holds up the HUMAN SKULL and starts a ventriloquist act. I'm not kidding! It's VERY DISTURBING! The HUMAN SKULL has a whispery, creepy voice, and CE is 'talking' with it. One of the nuns crosses herself. I am tempted to do the same, though I am not Catholic (read a past post of mine!) Then the HUMAN SKULL goes on about 'REVENGE!' (hence the name of the movie, I suppose) CE starts shrieking 'REVENGE!' as well, in an almost Muppet-like voice that REALLY freaks me out. So now CE AND the HUMAN SKULL are shrieking 'REVENGE!' in creepy voices. The camera keeps zooming in closer and closer to 'their' faces and that's where it ends. I bet those nuns are gonna kick CE out ...
*shiver shiver* That's some seriously fraked up sh*t! *runs and hides under the bed with full arsenal and posts Red Samurai guards around the room*
(I have absolutely no idea why I'm doing this ... it kinda reminds me of TWoP recaps, or my 'What Sarah, Butterfly, and Roxanne Think' posts I used to do on IMDb.com when Heroes was on ... feel free to comment on my early morning ramblings ...)
