In Reply to: The director Peter Jackson posted by Doug Flynn on December 20, 2001 at 23:46:59:
--My favorite line from "Bad Taste."Surprised that you didn't mention "Dead Alive," the ultimate splatter comedy (was this originally named "Braindead"?). Some of it seemed like Sam Raimi's territory, but I loved it anyway. "I kick ass for the Lord!"
I thought "Heavenly Creatures" was the best film from 1994. Jackson can really take us into those dark places inside madness.

Yes, that's a cool scene. There is also a lot of "New Zealand Vs Australia" humour in the movie that I guarantee the rest of the world doesn't understand.The "I kick ass for the Lord" line is from Braindead, so yes that must be what you are thinking of.
I also liked Heavenly Creatures, but like I said in my earlier post it went in a different direction. I sincerely hope Peter Jackson "makes it big" as a director because he is a breath of fresh air compared to the formula-driven, lowest common denominator type of director prevalent in Hollywood.
Doug ;-)
Where the heck is a decent Region 1 release of Heavenly Creatures? If I have to suffer through the p&s canadian release one more time...I've been meaning to go through Mr. Jackson's old work but haven't been able to locate some of the releases on DVD. I know Feebles and others are available in Canada, but not yet in the US.
I'm really happy for Peter Jackson. He deserves all the success in the world for the effort that went into 16 months of filming for LotR and still countless postproduction effort. I'm not in the biz, but this is a project that I would have loved to have been involved with.
