Poetry in Movies and Television: The Crow (1994)

The poem Eric Draven (Brandon Lee) misquotes when he breaks into Gideon's (Jon Polito) shop is from "The Raven". Eric says:

"Suddenly I heard a tapping, As of some one gently rapping, rapping at my chamber door."

"The Raven" by Edgar Allan Poe

Once upon a midnight dreary, while I pondered, weak and weary, Over many a quaint and curious volume of forgotten lore— While I nodded, nearly napping, suddenly there came a tapping, As of some one gently rapping, rapping at my chamber door.

You can watch/listen to the full poem on my channel by Xander Berkeley or James Earl Jones

When T-Bird (David Patrick Kelly) recognises Eric, he quotes from John Milton’s Paradise Lost:

"I knew you. But you ain’t you. You can’t be you. We put you through the window. There ain’t no coming back. This is the really real world, there ain’t no coming back. We killed you dead, there ain’t no coming back! There ain’t no coming back! … Abashed the devil stood and felt how awful goodness is!"

Paradise Lost, Book IV, [The Argument]:

“Abashed the devil stood and felt how awful goodness is and saw Virtue in her shape how lovely: and pined his loss”

The quote is from the end of the movie:

“If the people we love are stolen from us, the way to have them live on is to never stop loving them. Buildings burn, people die, but real love is forever.” --- Sarah/James O'Barr, The Crow

Music: Jane Siberry - It Can't Rain All the Time

This movie is almost 30 years old... but it still holds up to date.

Brandon Lee's final performance... but definitely his most memorable one.

A Timeless Masterpiece.

Review: Ultimate Avengers

With the recent MCU shows and movies not being all that good, I decided to go back and watch the very first Avengers movie I had ever seen and what really got me into the Avengers in the first place. The Ultimate Avengers movie from 2006.

I have always been a fan of Marvel and superheroes even before this movie, but this is what really nailed it for me. Even before going back to this movie I had pretty much remembered most of it even after not seeing it in 16 years. I wanted to see if it held up as well as I remembered or if it is just the nostalgia that is making me remember it as fondly as I do.

The movie starts out in WW2 with Steve Rogers fighting the Nazis, more specifically the main enemy of this movie Herr Kleiser. This segment isn't very long and ends with Cap kicking Kleiser off of an exploding rocket and Cap falling into water where he would eventually freeze only to be found by Nick Fury and Betty Ross.

This is also where we first see Bruce Banner and we learn he's got a bit of...I guess you could call it an obsession with Cap. We learn later it's because he thinks that if they figure out the super soldier serum they used for Cap that he might be able to control the Hulk. I'd also like to go ahead and say I actually don't really like this version of Bruce Banner. As a kid I didn't really care and I just liked big green guy punches, but now I like both Bruce and the Hulk and this is probably my least favorite version of Bruce. The Hulk is still great though.

The first 40-ish minutes of this movie are pretty slow. It's basically just Nick Fury assembling the team which consists of most of who we'd eventually see in the MCU; Captain America, Iron Man, Thor, Natasha, etc. The only differences are Giant Man, which does later appear in the MCU, and Wasp.

Bruce does actually gain control of the Hulk, but only for a small period of time and then, along with fighting the Chitauri the other Avengers have to fight the Hulk as well. Unlike in the MCU Hulk actually picks up Thor's hammer and uses it against him which I honestly love.

While there's not a ton to say about this movie I do think it holds up, but only as something fun to watch. If I wanted to watch an Avengers movie I'd probably not go back to this one and I'd probably go to one of the first three MCU movies or Civil War. It's not bad for what it is, but definitely shows it age. Perhaps the comic is better. With that being said though, I do recommend it if you've never seen it. It would give you a better understanding of what the original MCU movies took inspiration from.

The cult classic film, The Crow, follows the story of Eric Draven, a man who comes back from the dead to execute the gang who murdered him and his fiancé. Director Alex Proyas gave the film a distinctive gothic look similar to the empire of the original “Batman” movies.

Unfortunately, however, during filming there was a tragedy which cost a member of the main cast his life. Brandon Lee - son of Bruce Lee - played the character of Eric Draven. During shooting, Lee was shot and killed while filming a scene in which his character was shot and killed. This scene was removed and instead, Draven is thrown to his death from a window.

In the scene, Michael Massee fires a .44 Magnum revolver at Lee as he enters the room to find his girlfriend being beaten and raped by the gang. The gun had been loaded with blank rounds which feature a live powder charge and primer but no bullet. However, earlier in the day the crew had created their own dummy cartridges by dumping the powder charge from live rounds and then reinserting the bullets. Somebody then left the live primer at the rear of the cartridge. This caused the bullet to be fired with the same force as a live round. Lee was shot in the abdomen. He was rushed to the New Hanover Regional Medical Center in Wilmington, North Carolina, where he died from his injuries.

Following his untimely death, another $8 million was added to the $15 million budget so that the film could be completed. Portions of the film had to be rewritten and scenes were added by using computer graphics. The Crow was subsequently tainted as being the movie in which Brandon Lee tragically lost his life. Despite the tragedy, it swiftly became a cult classic, grossing over $50 million in the US on its release.

Patricia Arquette and Bill Pullman in Lost Highway (David Lynch, 1997)

Cast: Bill Pullman, Patricia Arquette, John Roselius, Louis Eppolito, Jenna Maetlind, Michael Massee, Robert Blake, Henry Rollins, Michael Shamus Wiles, Balthazar Getty, Gary Busey, Lucy Butler, Robert Loggia. Screenplay: David Lynch, Barry Gifford. Cinematography: Peter Deming. Production design: Patricia Norris. Film editing: Mary Sweeney. Music: Angelo Badalamenti. David Lynch's Lost Highway is a kind of fantasia on film noir themes: shady ladies, ruthless gangsters, morally compromised protagonists, and so on. Its story doesn't play out against a background of supposed "normality," the way Lynch's TV series Twin Peaks or his films Blue Velvet (1986) and Mulholland Dr. (2001) do. In the first two, Lynch plumbs the dark depths that lie below the cheerful surface of small towns, and he opens Mulholland Dr. with the sunny, naive optimism of Naomi Watts's character as she arrives in Los Angeles, ready to make it in the movies. Lost Highway is dark from the start, though not without moments of humor: When Fred Madison (Bill Pullman) and his wife, Renee (Patricia Arquette), receive the first mysterious videotape, which shows only the exterior of their house, they assume it came from a real estate agent. Things get darker from then on, until finally a tape arrives that shows Fred standing over Renee's body. He is quickly tried and sentenced to death, and just as quickly somehow morphs, while in his jail cell, into someone else: an auto mechanic, some years younger than Fred, named Pete Dayton (Balthazar Getty). Released from prison, since he's clearly not Fred Madison and the police have nothing to hold Pete on, he returns home to his parents (Gary Busey and Lucy Butler) and to his job at a garage, where he works on the cars owned by a Mr. Eddy (Robert Loggia). He gets involved with Mr. Eddy's mistress, Alice (played by a blond Arquette -- Renee was a redhead), and eventually winds up having sex with Alice in the desert and morphing back into Fred, who ends the film on the run from the police after killing Mr. Eddy. Oh, there's also a mysterious figure played by a heavily made-up Robert Blake, and some other bits of Lynchian enigma. In short, Lost Highway starts weird and gets weirder, like a nightmare from which there's no hope of waking. Unfortunately, as played by Pullman, Fred is a bland protagonist who barely registers before his transformation into Pete, a character to which Getty gives a bit more substance. The best work in the movie is done by the ever-reliable Loggia, who has a wonderful scene in which Mr. Eddy takes his revenge on a driver who was tailgating him. But the film has the perversity of Blue Velvet and the narrative disjunctions of Mulholland Dr. without the wit and cinematic finesse of either. I think it suffers from its lack of roots in an identifiable reality, or even the caricature of reality in those films.

don davis in stargate: sg1 / don davis in twin peaks

the xfiles s1e13 beyond the sea - brad dourif as luther boggs

and i include brad dourif because i always get him mixed up with someone i spnhiky'd in the last episode? michael massee, thinking that he was in dune. something about the eyes. but no, it was brad dourif that was in dune with the stained lips.

dune (1984) brad dourif as piter de vries

this got a little offtrack because i didn't do an hiky for the xfiles ep originally. so we're smushing into the spn one. which doesn't matter because this is basically for my entertainment and memory retention purposes.

This whole Rust tragedy is so sad, a family lost their daughter, wife and mother. I saw the video of Jensen's statement it's scary to think that he was supposed to die, they were reviewing things when the shots happened, precisely the scene where the character Alec shot Jensen's character, that bullet was supposed to have been him

It is a tragic accident that affected everyone sadly. A family lost their mother, wife, and daughter. Another person was injured. Cast & Crew were in shock. Alec he will probably carry that around with him for the rest of his life. It is scary to think what could have happened if they were filming. It sadly reminds me of Michael Massee. The prop gun used was not properly prepared. So when Michael fired the gun to shoot Brandon Lee’s character in The Crow he sadly killed Brandon. Poor Michael never got over it. He never watched the movie after that. He never got over what happened he carried that with him until his death in 2016. Sadly Alec will probably do the same. I hope sets now are very careful with any props so it doesn’t happen again.

A little bit of craziness I just realized…

I’ve been a huge fan of Bruce Lee and his son Brandon Lee since I was 12. I’m much older now and still am and will always be a fan.

The tragedy on “Rust” starring Alec Baldwin & Jensen Ackles, of course brought to mind the prop gun death of Brandon on the set of “The Crow” in 1993.

Actor Michael Massee was the one who had the misfortune to have fired the shot (prop gun) that killed Brandon Lee during filming.

And in a strange sort of coincidence Michael Massee guest starred in an episode of “Supernatural” starring Jensen Ackles who stars alongside Alec Baldwin in “Rust.”

💜🤍🕊🙏✝️ To those affected by yesterday’s incredible tragedy.

This should not have happened AGAIN!

It’s insane!

Brandon Lee - The Crow dies on movie set in Wilmington

Brandon Lee – The Crow dies on movie set in Wilmington

On March 31, 1993, at Carolco Studios (renamed it EUE/Screen Gems Studios in 1996), Lee was filming a scene where his character, Eric, is shot after witnessing the rape of his girlfriend. It was a flashback scene, intended to show how his character was killed. The premise of the flick was that his spirit returns, and avenges his death. Actor Michael Masee played a drug dealer that had broken into…
