#The Omen Movies

[naughtygirl286]

So we went to see the new horror movie The First Omen which is a prequel to the 1976 movie The Omen. I do like the original movie and the remake as well we went to see The Omen remake on opening night June 6, 2006 (thats right 6/6/06) now were I thought the original one and the remake were good the others weren't that good Damien: Omen II was alright and the 3rd Omen III: The Final Conflict was just plain awful especially the ending. I remember vaguely there was a 4th one but also some failed TV projects too.

but being The Omen is a interesting franchise I wanted to see this one. I can say I wasn't disappointed as I mentioned it is a prequel to the original movie and focuses on the character of Margaret (played by Nell Tiger Free) who is going to become a nun and if brought to Rome to serve the church but while there she encounters overwhelming darkness and learns the secrets of her past and ultimately becomes the mother to the antichrist who is known as Damien in the original movies.

Now I can say that this was very scary there were a few good jumps in it though but ultimately it is just very creepy and has alot of disturbing imagery but over all I think it totally captures the feel, heart and soul of the original movie. I feel that it was shot and written with so much love for the original 1976 movie.

The music is a big part of it too and you can tell they didn't want to change it to much from the original score. I feel they wanted this movie to be perfectly matched to the original one like to the point it feels that this was made in the 70s and you can watch this one and then watch the original and it should feel like it hasn't skipped a beat like the original is actually a sequel to this.

There is alot of things that are totally Omen related in it visual style and some of the things that happen are reminiscent of the original movies the hanging scene gave me chills because it is very reminiscent and almost identical to the one in the 1976 movie. Also the scene where the guy get cut in half is a really cool visual effect in this and your like "oh wow!"

but other then that the acting was pretty great and I thought the movie was over all really good and it is the perfect set up for the original movie it even has a bit of a spine tingling ending. but even with the ending it does leave you with some questions tho.. but over all it was good and if you enjoyed the original movie I would highly recommend it.

“horror movies of the 1970s reflect some of the grim social developments of the decade. fortunately, when society goes bad, horror films get good. in the 1970s horror makes its way back into the cultural spotlight. horror movies dealing with contemporary social issues and addressing genuine psychological fears were big hits during the decade.”

Things the GO fandom as a whole have just accepted as canon

Crowley's favorite word is "ngk-"

They kissed in 1941. That's why the vibe was so awkward during the Holy Water scene in 1967.

The fire extinguishers in s2 are all from Crowley because of the bookshop fire in s1

Aziraphale is a huge flirt. Crowley gets flustered easily.

They adopted Jimbriel and Muriel

Crowley steals all the genders but Aziraphale is content with the lack of them

Crowley would go to bars and rant to Hozier, not knowing it was him, then hear his songs on the radio and break down because the lyrics understanded him.

He was also besties with Freddie Mercury

Oscar Wilde was in love with Aziraphale

Gabriel is Kenough

it’s become a bit of an inside joke between my friends (and occasionally my dad) to measure things by how many times you could watch the 90 minute good omens 3 movie. its how I cope. they get a little more niche as you go…

(#5 is @drbobdoodles LOL)

oh but how absolutely monumental it still is to have all these big and mainstream pieces of queer television right now. remember how excited you got when there was one character who said he was bi or gay only then to be killed or written off or treated horribly by both writers and the public. remember how hard it was to find queer shows and movie that didn’t make you hate yourself or so angry or scared. remember how seen you felt about that one queer kiss or that one coming out or within one particular character! yes, devastating sad queer pieces are important. fucked up queer stories need to be told. queer period pieces and dramas with unhappy endings too. but queer happiness, queer young and old love, queer cringe, queer joy- we deserve that too.

Obsessed with lovers and piners calling the object of their affections their best friend. Like yessss blur the lines between platonic and romantic love. show how important they are to you in a multifaceted way. Cover up your feelings with another kind of love that is just as true. One type of love does not negate the other and but tragedy can rip both out from under you single handedly, and it will hurt so much more that way. Losing a friend and a lover. Gaining both and not needing any labels for what they are. Using labels but having it be so much more than a title. Were they friends before they were lovers? Or were they lovers whose friendship grew inside of their love? Unclear! Who cares!

Hey, fandom. We'll hear Crowley call Aziraphale 'angel' - again.

And nightingales will sing - again.

And this IS a miracle.

Let's try focus on that. Stay positive.

All together on our side.

To our world.

collected them all like infinity stones cause DO YOU BELIEVE ME NOW WHEN I SAID GAYPOCALYPSE IS REAL

[sherlock-is-ace]

I'm still not over the fact that in the book, Aziraphale and Crowley are supposed to look 30 and 24 years old...

This is what they would look like

That's David in 1995 in The Bill and Michael in 1997 (not quite 99 like it's supposed to be) in Wilde.

Those are children! Mere babies!
