'As you all know, the environment on my planet is completely inhospitable to most other life forms.

The Barzan has been a society dependent on others for generations. We want that to end. The appearance of this stable wormhole in our space provides us with our first true natural resource. We have neither the experience nor the technology to exploit it. But you do.' - bhavani

Fear No Evil

Frank LaLoggia’s debut feature, FEAR NO EVIL (1981, Shudder) is one hot mess. It’s not as cohesive, technically accomplished or well-acted overall as his second film, LADY IN WHITE (1988). Yet there are parts of it that are thrillingly original and one performance that can stand next to the best of any in his or just about anybody’s else’s work. Like many high-schoolers, Stefan Arngrim, the kid from LAND OF THE GIANTS, seems to be the earthly reincarnation of Lucifer. Only this time he is. He’s pursued by the archangel Michael, now an aging woman (Elizabeth Hoffman, making an auspicious film debut at 54, and if anybody knows what she was doing before that, please let me know) searching for her fellow angel, who turns out to be another high-schooler (Kathleen Rowe McAllen). A lot of the school scenes seem derivative, but there’s one in the men’s showers in which the school bully (Daniel Eden) tries to bash Arngrim only to find himself stuck in a lip lock that won’t let go. This and a later scene with Eden have led some critics to label the film homophobic, but I think they’re more about bullying as a sign of misogyny and repressed homosexuality. There’s a local passion play in which Jesus really does die on the cross (how medieval), thanks to Arngrim’s magic. There’s also a beautifully staged funeral scene. But then, there are zombies whose decaying flesh has turned into corn flakes (they were forced on LaLoggia and ended up being what sold the film to a distributor). The film has some great locations, particularly Boldt Castle in Alexandria, NY. But shooting regionally on a low budget meant LaLoggia had to use some pretty poor actors (somebody needed to remind the gym teacher he was playing a human being). But then there’s Hoffman, who already has the command of the camera and characterization she would display in her later work. She makes even the worst dialog compelling and almost poetic and manages to connect with even the weakest actors. Fred Goodich did the excellent, very atmospheric camera work, while LaLoggia and David Spear composed an effective score. There’s also some great contemporary music on the soundtrack from artists like Patti Smith, The Ramones, Talking Heads, The Boomtown Rats, The B-52s and The Sex Pistols.

RIP Elizabeth Hoffman 1927-2023

Stargate rewatch: 1x10 The Torment of Tantalus

“Oh yeah, nothing piques my interest more than repeated failure.” lol

Shoulder pat! First one of those in a while.

The second Robert C Cooper script, and directed by Jonathan Glassner.

Catherine is such a vibe, I love her, I love her house, I love her clothes. Elizabeth Hoffman’s Catherine is less...frail than in the film, but it works for this version of the character.

lol, Daniel poking through all of Catherine’s artifacts.

Shanks really brings back the Spader-isms in his scenes with Catherine.

I know they were replicating Daniel’s costuming from the film and he’s an academic in the late 90’s but a Look this is not.

However he is rocking the curtain bangs which seem popular right now.

So we’re six months after CotG at this point, seems about right.

There’s a timeline discrepancy with the film though - Catherine says she was 21 in 1945, but that would only make her 4 in 1928 when the Stargate was unburied.

Future Dr Carson Beckett Paul McGillion as young Ernest.

“They’re not combinations, they’re destinations, and we just found one.” Where did they find one? They didn’t use the address for Abydos found on the coverstones, it’s a separate yet similar address, but how did they know which symbols to use?

Young Catherine is also a vibe, too good for young Earnest let’s be real.

“He chose his idea, his work, over me.” The parallel between Ernest and Daniel is explicit, but it’s odd that the parallel between Catherine and Sha’re isn’t made later in the episode when Daniel won’t leave the repository, especially when the eponymous “torment of Tantalus” is representative both of Daniel’s pursuit of knowledge beyond his reach, and his ongoing search for her.

The Norse rune Othala is used to represent the Asgard - later we’ll learn Othala is also the name of their home planet. The Othala rune represents the letter o and can mean heritage.

We also see the Ancient’s language on the wall, but they’re not identified as such yet. The other two are those of the Nox and the Furlings but it’s unclear which is which.

“Catherine, hug me.” lol, sometimes it’s very obvious when it’s an RDA ad-lib.
