Others still are great communicators, while some simply make one go ‘wow’ with their insight of interpretation and power of performance. Then there are those who have built up great orchestras over the years, winning admiration and fondness in equal measure. Of the names that emerged, some are the great pioneers whose research into and championship of their chosen field, notably early and contemporary music, has opened up whole new worlds of both repertoire and performance style. His excuse? Must have had some bad Chop-Suey.But which of their peers and forebears are the conductors themselves inspired by? We put this question to 100 of today’s best, inviting them to name three each. Mary, the tennis-pro turned undercover cop, is wondering the campus, nervously keeping an eye out for dead people.įrom out of nowhere, she is attacked by a track-suited Asian man! He leaps around, throwing chops and kicks her way fast as lightning, then stops.
In case you’re still not convinced, allow me to share with you my favourite moment from the whole movie: it’s late at night.
There are some pretty grotty chainsaw moments, a room-full of fine electro dance moves, a few great suits, and a principle character (the principal) who looks like former Prime Minister Gordon Brown, if Gordon Brown were a vampire. So it’s stupid, it’s obvious, at points it’s unintelligible, but none of this really detracts from the viewing experience. Oh, and there’s a plot twist involving a pro-tennis player going undercover at the college where the murders are taking place. Unless you’ve been pounding the drinks for a few hours before viewing (highly recommended where appropriate), you’ll know who the killer is really, really quickly.īut no matter because he still creeps about with a chainsaw, making the same sound my dog makes when he snores, killing those silly college girls at a devilishly leisurely rate. Want more? Then it’s just as well they threw in a scene where a young woman is having a whale of a time skateboarding around town when, for God only knows what reason, two men carry a huge sheet mirror across the street which, Oh My Gosh, she totally crashes through! The suspense!
PIECES 1982 DVD CRACK
For example, the giant man playing the suspicious janitor looks like someone captured a mongoloid-bear, snapped some dungarees on him, gave him three vials of crack and a copy of Cannonball Run to study, then stuck him in front of a camera and shouted acción! Pieces is a mess: the plot is nonsense, some of the scenes appear to be out of synch, and the dubbing, clearly a necessary evil due to both the language and acting barriers encountered by the cast, is just weird.īut so what? Any one of the many bad things about this film would ruin most movies, but it’s the sheer volume of total ludicrosity (Word!) that somehow keeps this thing together. Forgive me for not naming these talented performers individually, but it wouldn’t be fair to the rest of the cast, who without doubt also turn up at various points in the film…Īlright, look. in the seventies – Wonder Woman, Bonanza, Petrocelli, Mission: Impossible and Love Boat to name but a few.
You might even recognise them, especially if you watched a lot of t.v. Well, maybe they’re not fit to lead anyone anywhere, least of all glory, but there definitely are some Americans in it. So, yes, Pieces! Coming to you from deepest Europe! Wow?īut this isn’t no Argento style Euro-freak-out, because the wise people who put this bad boy together had the decency to draft in some good old American talent to lead the cast to glory. If not, then you just ain’t got no soul, but that’s another matter. So what does all this have to do with the price of fish? Well, let’s see what happens when I tell you that Pieces was actually filmed in Spain! That’s right – your head is almost definitely spinning right now. Second, Mil Gritos Tiene la Noche roughly translates as ‘A Thousand Cries in the Night’, which is quite a nice title really, reminiscent of some long forgotten gothic novel.
This film is also known as Mil Gritos Tiene la Noche, which is interesting for several reasons, which we can talk about right now if you like.įirstly, it’s definitely longer than Pieces, which is pretty fascinating when you really think about it.
