one thing about Mouth .... Carpenter brought the lighting guy on board to do the commentary which is very cool.
Thats the one thing about Carpenter .. if the film is good or bad you still get more out of the commentaries. They should be a must for any film student. He's entertaining and informative .. her really understands how to do a commentary better than anyone else ... Kevin Smith is a close second.
Re Vampires ... i actually hated this film mostly because of James Woods performance which is odd for me because normally i like the guy.
I just found his tough guy act too formulatic ... as if Carpenter saw something similar in another movie and thought it would work in his ... He was no Snake Pliskin.
And the dick jokes fell flat..
Didnt care for Baldwin either .. i'm always amazed that guy finds work .. he just looks wrong in any roll and he's wooden.
I read the book too buy the way .. and it had more of a mercenary feel than a religeous crusader feel to it.
In fact it was called Vampire$ (with the dollar sign)
