Oh yeah, the best movie Corman ever produced. Also, the movie that gave James Cameron his first big break! (And one of James Horner's first scores... *sigh*)
Another thing I thought was interesting about The Visitor is how prominently feature video games were in it, but almost always in a sort of creepy way. They feel intrusive and alien, especially that giant pong setup she had going. The shots of her with the ball bouncing on the wall behind her were really offputting, somehow.
Then again, the space-disco score was just plain intrusive. The rest of the sound design was really good, but the rock bits seemed out of place, and not in a good way.
Quote:Thank You for recommending Sun Ra movie – I’ll definitely watch it, although based on the IMDB description, it seems to be sort of a satire. Is it correct?
It's... hard to say. Sun Ra was reeaaaalllly out there. Parts of it are funny, but on the whole, I'd class it as more 'commentary' or 'allegory' than 'satire.' Personally, I tend to think Sun Ra was a Wanderer, one who remembered himself so well that he only barely even functioned on an everyday human level.
But since no one was ever entirely sure when Sun Ra was actually joking or not, well, it's largely a matter of opinion.
Just as an aside, there are two versions of Space Is The Place, a heavily stripped down 65ish minute version, and one that's about 20 minutes longer. The longer version is by far the superior of the two.
