Thanks for saying that top line in My voice.

Same here! Love this movie, too. Have you watched the Whisperer in Darkness adaptation?

@@thomasnihil4878 I haven't seen that one.

And it didn't require a multi-million budget.

Haven’t watch that, name please?

@@alexbloddrunk1875 Are you replying to me? Because both comments above state the name of both movies in their comments.

Yes! There's been some great Lovecraftian/cosmic horror movies that were made (imo The Tall Man is another example of a good Lovecraftian movie). The better question would probably be if Lovecraft and/or cosmic horror is people's interest, and though there's a decent sized audience for it, Lovecraft and/or cosmic horror isn't always most people's cup of tea. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

All fantastic movies! With the heart and soul of Lovecraft. Money does not equal quality. Del Toro could do this as he's shown he's done fantastic work without the $ (200 mil I mean) and/or rating.

What? I have never heard of MoM. Don't think Lovecraft ever wrote a story called MoM.

@@robodd4694 I am assuming you are being facetious...It's an acronym, MoM: Mountains of Madness just in case you aren't.

@@lonl123 Actually I was being duuuuuh. But I understand now lol. Sheeesh I think it's late for me and my brain is rotted by to much YT. thanks for the clarification even though now I feel stupid LOL. And I totally agree with you. I pray he does make it as well.

@@robodd4694 All good. :)

its one of my favorites too. heck crowd fund part of it at least. we want the movie..but his budget in mind does seem pretty crazy. Pan's Labrynth is heavily visual and it only cost 19million at the time, hellboy 50 million. he wants half a billion? less is more with lovecraft he can do it cheaper and it'll probably be better.

my question is why would u want it PG?

Not how that works child….are you even serious? What TF use your brain

@@user-pt8mu9wg3i I think you meant PG-13, and I want it to be PG-13 to prove a point: That true horror isn't about torture porn or lots of gore, it's about consequences and realization, or put simply; It's about correlating the contents of one's knowledge.

@@7F0X7 fair enough my friend fair enough.

Don't know what you're talking about, there are a TON of PG-13 horror movies. A lovecraft film could very easily be PG-13, no problem at all. But it would probably be better if it was R. True horror isn't about gore, but it's not exactly kid-friendly either. It's a little weird to think that a movie for 13 year olds should be as frightening as a horror movie for adults...

Dude its Know-It-All not FONCE

@@user-pt8mu9wg3i Man, if it wasn't the guy's name, I wouldn't have said anything, but our boy here went on about how big a fan he is, all the while just CONSTANTLY mispronouncing his name. That's nuts. I'm not THAT polite. ;)

@@FonceFalooda2 I think gee-yeah-r-mo is more accurate, not to bash on anyone, it just shocked me too that there was mention of him being an avid fan and then the mispronunciation

@@FonceFalooda2yeah no it was driving me nuts too. It’s a great video, not taking surfing away from the creator, but Jesus look up one single interview where the man is introduced first lol

He didn't name the cat, his relative who gave it to him did.

his wife was ethnically jewish. he was a sheltered child who was uncomfortable with anything unlike himself.

@stephnmccagg Apparently, you should take the time to read Lovecrafta correspondences with Robert e. Howard and the 2017 bio of lovecraft by w. Scott poole. In these you will see Lovecraft ranting about the inferiority of “ Slavs, Italians “ and debating with Robert Howard about the precise point in history that Jewish people became “parasites“ all the while Lovecraft was living in a “parasitic” relationship with his wife Sonia green( who was Jewish and wrote about the way he would become hysterical when they would walk around New York in mixed race crowds and he would lose his mind ] while she worked herself to exhaustion and he sat around with his buddies discussing literature, since he could never hold down a consistent job. He thought of himself as a delicate New England gentleman who couldn’t be bothered with a 9 to 5 job so he sabotaged many opportunities that his friends tried to get him . ( but to hear Lovecraft tell the story it was as if immigrants and Jews were taking the jobs and preventing him from working , bum )One of those buddies was a white man named James Morton who advocated for African-American rights and showed his solidarity by living in Harlem. When lovecraft returned from a visit to Charleston South Carolina, where segregation was in full effect, he wrote several vicious letters to James Morton condemning African-Americans as “subhuman“ and pointed to Charleston as “proof” of the fact that blacks were inferior and “no honest biologist would deny that blacks are inferior“. Lovecraft wrote this while a white anthropologist named Franz Boas was beginning to publish work that definitively crushed these racist ideas and inaugurated the first anti-racist era in academic discipline, but Lovecraft in all his wisdom missed it. Instead Lovecraft subscribed to wacky crackpot historical theories that were debunked before his lifetime, like Margaret Murray‘s “God of the witches“ theory which basically says that Blacks Asians and Arabs were the original “demons“ in European mythology before they were driven out of Europe by “Aryan invasions“ so for you to write that he wasn’t really that “vicious“ in his racism shows a lack of knowledge or you’re just making excuses for him, which is why the 2017 biography would really help. If you like Lovecraft work as a writer then you like you lovecrafts work as a writer, nobody’s faulting you for that, we just don’t understand this almost devotional need to explain away everything inconvenient about his character, it takes nothing away from the literary merit or your admiration for people to just admit that he was plain racist, it’s almost like you need him to be a saint God like figure before you give yourself permission to like him. We just don’t understand it

So...Gizmo?

They did that back in the 70s. Then director Michael Cimino ruined it for everyone with "Heaven's Gate" being way over budget, way over schedule and lost millions in the box office.

And now AI Video tech will be the next cost cutting

Oh then dissected and dismembered human bodies are sokay now?

I have to call BS on his 200 million budget. If Godzilla Minus One can be made for less of a 10th of that, ITMOM can be made for 100 million and be an R rated film and still make a lot of money and be popular.

Exactly right...work it the way it's written. That's the appeal of the entire story. It gives you just enough to keep you wondering and gently pressing the fear down onto the observers (whether they be the character or the reader). And they absolutely need to avoid overusing the shoggoth jump scare or any other tripe they think of to blast the screen with scary monster appearances. Build up, build up, build up.. If they can't find someone who can do that, don't even bother.

Crowd fund over 500 million? Ok 😂🙄🤡

O and have you ever read it? I highly doubt this or you’d know how hard it would be to make it as well…..you’d know….but since you haven’t read any Lovecraft I’m sure not gonna waste my time.

@@6Haunted-Days Or enough to make studio investment more attractive. It's not impossible. Merely, unlikely.

@@6Haunted-Days No, you just waste your time making erroneous assumptions, apparently. Again, hard is not impossible, and it's not like Lovecraft left a shortage of visions to work from.

He named his actual cat, and a cat in one of his stories, "N***** Man". Here's a poem he wrote in 1912: When, long ago, the gods created Earth In Jove’s fair image Man was shaped at birth. The beasts for lesser parts were next designed; Yet were they too remote from humankind. To fill the gap, and join the rest to Man, Th’Olympian host conceiv’d a clever plan. A beast they wrought, in semi-human figure, Filled it with vice, and called the thing a N*****. One can be both racist and xenophobic. "He wasn't a racist". Lol. Gtfoh.

He was absolutely racist and straight up xenophobic. Whenever I hear people talking about his racism, they aren't "detractors" who "just want a witch to burn." It's usually fans of his who simply aren't trying to make any excuses for him. Changing his views later in life doesn't remove the prejudice from his earlier work, so yeah... when people talk about his earlier work, they talk about the prejudice (in between gushing about how much of a genius he was). If he made a more complete turn-around, it would be a more positive story of overcoming beliefs. But his prejudices didn't all just vanish. Maybe they would have continued to if he lived longer.

Nope. In Mexican Spanish, that j is pronounced like a y. So Gee Yare Mo

The Old Ones made their servitor species too smart and powerful. Shoggoths are fully alien, the other cells created mixed with those already in existence. Protoplasmic mountains of black jelly with constellation of glowing green eyes that could create any organ as needed.

@RepoManZ uh no it didn't.

It is absolutely clear from the video that it is At The Mountain of Madness they are talking about

It also doesn't revolve around the degenerates, perverts and freaks that make up the "woke" crowd, as much as they demand it do so.

We need a faithful adaptation. Romance would ruin the movie.

no, more like Gi erl moe

Almost: Gi yer mo. I'm sure that you're mostly referencing that this guy is prouncing "ll" as "l"...which is wrong. In Spain AND, possibly more importantly in Mexico (where del Toro is from), it is prounced "gi yer mo". "ll" is "y" in Spanish. Although, in South American Spanish-speaking countries, "ll" is more of a "j" sound. So, "gi jer mo". In no Spanish-speaking country is it pronounced "gi ler mo".

Same thing

Yes! Someone who actually read the book. Thank you for that comment. Too many people only know the movie and are missing out on the true experience.

No, the Bible is a book, and the angels are as described therein and in the source material it was translated from.

fair enough.

King Kong v Godzilla is a unique example but the statistic is referring to producer John Beck whom spent $12,000 creating and editing a dubbed english version for Unviersal to release in the United States. It then made $2,700,000 at the American box office. Hence the ROI of 22,400%

Yeah... but you know that his wife was Jewish

Xenophobia even so it got mixed in. Many names you know were also various levels of racism but good luck finding it is ever mentioned at all.

Go send some money to orange jesus.. he's broke and wants YOU to pay his bills..then he can fight the demons of the real monsters.. wokeness!!!

Del Toro is a left winger and often can't help but inject his own politics into his movies. In Pan's Labyrinth, he has spanish communists as white hate good guys being hunted down by Franco's soldiers who are portrayed as simply evil. Odd considering the communists liked to torture priests and nuns. Then, in the shape of water, the good guys are a checklist of diversity. Deaf woman, black woman, gay man, a literal soviet spy depicted in a sympathetic manner. Meanwhile, the bad guy is basically a walking steretype. He's a straight white american who works for the US government and goes on some spiel meant to show the incredible hubris of muh evil capeetolist peeg america. Then he goes on to marital rape his wife. I can enjoy del toro's movies. I think he does an amazing job of making monsters and how he handles visuals, but he needs to piss off with his politics.
