Nothing is sacred anymore
Is Pan's Labyrinth just such a widely-loved filmed?
Never seen it.
Never seen it.
Looking forward to finally checking this out.
Been busy with rabbit holes, bro.
I'm still trying to digest this revelation. It never even occurred to me that Ted was right in the middle of the Zodiac killings the exact years they happened. And then again with the Tylenol killings he is in the area, working the Chicago area, and his parents house is right in the middle of it all.
I hear that.
Was Zodiac a fledgling evil-genius killer that turned to political bombings after nearly being caught, or was Unabomber an eco-terrorist copying the style of a sexually-frustrated serial killer? One thing's for sure. Out of all the suspects, Ted is the only one who we know for a fact has attempted murder with a gun and bombs.
What makes things extra juicy is that Ted was an MKUltra test subject. Might be why the feds supposedly agreed to not prosecute Ted for previous crimes?

And with this simple question, you both tumbled right back down it! <45>
I've seen all of these movies previously. I voted Pan's Labyrinth because it was the first del Toro film I saw, back when it was recently released, and I remember having liked it very much and thinking it was unlike any film I had seen before. I haven't watched it again, and enough time has past that I've forgotten most of the details. It's been high on the re-watch list for a long time.
1. Pan's LabyrinthWhat did you think of the other three? How would you rank them?
1. Pan's Labyrinth
2. Cronos
3. The Shape of Water
4. The Devil's Backbone
Keep in mind that I haven't seen Pan's and Devil's Backbone for 10+ years. I saw Devil's Backbone after Pan's, but I remember almost nothing about Devil's Backbone, just that I found it rather boring.
Cronos and Shape of Water I liked quite a bit. Cronos especially is a really odd and inspired take on vampires.
I haven't seen any of del Toro's other films.
How about yourself?
