re: #20 Romantic Heretic

That’s one of those things I’m really mixed about.

On one hand, that’s a story that’s really easy to screw up. It would take some doing to get that feeling of ancient horror across on a movie screen.

On the other, del Toro is the man to do it.

It might not make much difference. Maybe Mountains is too genre specific. It’s my understanding that Pacific Rim took a bath, and that was a damned good movie.

Pacific Rim was a domestic failure, recouping only about $100 million of its $190 million budget, but it also made over $300 million internationally.
