La loose!!

Quel malheur... Et moi qui cherchait Invaders From Mars il y a quelques jours après avoir revu Lifeforce pour la enième fois en un mois. Je connaissais bien trop mal sa courte filmographie. Que de classiques pourtant : Lifeforce, Poltergeist (autre film qui a beaucoup tourné chez moi), et bien sûr le Massacre A La Tronçonneuse de 1974.

Déjà que je me remets toujours pas de la disparition de Wes Craven
Un mois après George Romero donc, Tobe Hooper...dur.
J'espère en tout cas quelques belles années encore pour les collègues et amis révélés comme eux dans les 70's:
Carpenter, Argento, Cronenberg, Dante, Cohen, Coscarelli, De Palma et j'en oublie sûrement d'autres...



Le réalisateur et scénariste Adam Gierasch évoque Tobe Hooper sur sa page Facebook:

"Tobe Hooper. Writing an eulogy for Tobe is a very difficult thing for me. He was my mentor, for a while my best friend, and got me and my wife started in this business. We wrote three movies for him, Crocodile, Toolbox Murders, and Mortuary. Toolbox is a film that I'm still incredibly proud of(probably the best film I've ever written that was produced)
Hell I have it tattooed on my arm. As a filmmaker he taught me how to do a jump scare. And I've copied his technique numerous times in the films I have directed. To be honest with you guys I'm still reeling from The news of his death. See my relationship with Tobe was quite complicated. And ended very painfully. We had a truly horrible falling out, and despite some of my fantasies we never got a chance to work together again. I thought he would always be there and I hoped against all odds that one day I could call him with a great directing opportunity. For over 20 years we've had the same agent and lawyer. And I would check in on how he was doing with them and his friends as often as I could. After we stopped talking I called him every month for two years in the hope that we could patch things up. It never happened. And now he's gone. My last interaction with him was inviting him to me and Jace's wedding. He never came. So I'm sure you all can see the last thing I'm thinking about is how great Texas chainsaw massacre was. All I can really think about is I will never see his furry face again. I think that's all I've got to say for now. I'm sad, regretful and have an empty hole in my heart."

Je ne sais pas trop comment me livrer a l'exercice de la necro cette fois...

D'un cote, les 20-30 dernieres annees de Hooper n'ont guere ete marquantes...

D'un autre cote, j'aurais vu TCM en cinematheque dans les annees '90s (avec public en etat de choc! ), Lifeforce a sa sortie , TCM2 a sa sortie et avant ca, TCM en VHS locative me prenant un sacre choc en pleine tronche--WHAM!

Concernant Poltergeist, bibi n'a JAMAIS compris qui a realise quoi...

En ce qui concerne Hooper, je reste a ce jour un peu perdu...Hooper voulait faire de l'horreur: oui, non, peut-etre ou pas sur? Etait-il trop radical pour les grands studios ou trop radical pour lui-meme...?

Bibi ne sait pas. Mais, p.tain: TCM! TCM2! Lifeforce! Je veux, mon neveux! TCM, le plus grand film d'horreur de tous les temps? Pas sur, mais un serieux candidat!

Rien que pour ca: Thank you, Mr. Hooper.
