The world has a way of looking at people
Tonight at the Brattle I saw Angela Carter and Neil Jordan's The Company of Wolves (1984) with ![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
rushthatspeaks; it was brilliant and I don't know why I haven't seen more criticism constellating it with Dennis Potter's Dreamchild (1985) and Jim Henson's Labyrinth (1986). Terence Stamp is perfectly cast as the Devil in a white touring car, whose headlights through the forest gloom are the double flash of a beast's eyes. Stephen Rea should play more werewolves. So should Danielle Dax. I wish Carter and Jordan had gotten to make the film of Vampirella/"The Lady of the House of Love" they were discussing when she died; I did not actually expect how closely his visuals would translate her prose style, elaborately artificial and bluntly homespun at once. I'd had dinner earlier with spatch at Sapporo Ramen, where I got tantan-men with three kinds of extra seaweed; Rush and I went to Rosebud American Kitchen & Bar after the movie and I got the apple pie I had been wanting all this week of cold and rain. I came home to discover thisbluespirit had made, as part of their gorgeous series of original and other Elements, fanart for Curium from my story "Assignment 96." I'm still not sure about recovery from Arisia, but I've had a really nice evening.

Have you seen it? We thought you would love it.
I approve of these very nice evenings you've been having.
Thank you! I am enjoying them. (I am behind on so many movies, including one I didn't expect to want to write about.) Tomorrow will probably be quiet and that will also be nice.

Alas, no.
We thought you would love it.
Bless you. I think I would.

To my very great surprise, it looks as though it's available on Blu-Ray and DVD, possibly even in Region 1. Which means we could show it to you.
Do you own Dreamchild?

I'd love that!
Do you own Dreamchild?
I believe I do. Would you like a screening?

We were talking about it afterward. I haven't seen it since
