But true. Your posts are always very thoughtful and dedicated.
I am too :) Talking about weird, did you ever watch Purple Toast?
\o/ I did! I've now watched almost everything except elusive fuckers like Nature Boy. That WAS weird. But the entry here about it helped a lot understanding it.
A real tiger as the other bad-hair guy tells him.
Ain't that the truth. He occasionally has this predatory charm thing going on which i dig. ♥ Plus, there's something about him that's absolutely heartrending which nearly kills me (in a good way).
The title, by the way, refers not to traditional gambling, but to a mythical role-playing game that was described in a British book and TV documentary. Under the concept, people make a list of six life-altering choices, then roll a die and commit to acting on the outcome. In this drama, someone sinister and inscrutable has come to town to enlist weak-minded residents in the addictive life-or-death game.
This is interesting. Obviously I've been roleplay-gaming the wrong systems so far. *g*
Your Renfield comparison is absolutely spot-on. Good catch. And yeah, I was reminded of Twin Peaks (♥) too. I wonder what David Lynch would have made out of this.
Your Renfield comparison is absolutely spot-on. It just struck me when I rewatched it. I rewatched it twice, and more things kept coming up. I would really like to read more about the making of the movie, check if all that symbolism/reference thing was meant, or how, and if there's more...
