I'll have to watch Dagon again sometime. Like I said, its been a long time and as far as Re-Animator I just saw it as too gory for a real Lovecraft story.
In the Mouth of Madness is probably my favorite at this point. I think Carpenter did a good homage and the little things you see as that homage to Lovecraft are neat. And I've always been a Sam Neill fan. I mean I did see it in the theater when it came out and I do own the DVD so...
I never got that far LOL. I will haev to try it again, but I think I might have gotten through the first segment, but its been over 10 years so I can't remember exactly.
I like Del Toro's work and I think Pan Labyrinth was truly amazing and probably his best work to date. So I think that he could do ATMOM, but the source material I think is just too difficult to translate to film, but if it could be done I think Del Toro is one of the few that could do it.
I think the Hobbitt will be good. I'm looking forward to it, especially to see how they do Smaug and the Shape-shifter.
I do like Del Toro's work, its just not dark enough for me. Its too fairy taleish, which is about the last thing I think about when reading Lovecraft. Who knows though, maybe he can be really dark too.
I don't know about the Hobbitt anymore. I was excited at first, seeing Smaug would be awesome, but they've split it into 3 movies. Lord of the Rings got 3 movies and each of those books is twice the size of the Hobbitt, how they're getting 3 out of it boggles my mind. I read Jackson's pulling appendix stuff into it, but I can't help thinking that he'll pad it with made up shit. Thats what he did with Two Towers and to me thats the worst one of the original trilogy.
