Ingmar Bergman, RIP

Waiting for Bengt Ekarot

And now it can be told: I’ve never seen any of his films.

Sorry.

But I have seen this: Whispers of the Wolf, presented by SCTV on Monster Chiller Horror Theatre. It’s more or less the same, right?

Igmar Bergman’s Whispers of the Wolf

Two sisters are depressed and have difficulty dealing with reality.

Desk Clerk – Levy; Sisters – O’Hara, Martin; Midget – extra

Count Floyd’s a bit stunned, but gamely tries to convince us it was scary. He suspects Prickley booked Bergman.

Okay, I also saw Bill and Ted’s Excellent Adventure. And…that other Bill and Ted movie


Grim Reaper: A hit. You have sunk my battleship!
Dead Bill, Dead Ted: Excellent! Yes!
Dead Ted: I totally knew he would put it in the J’s, dude!
Dead Bill: Good thinking, Ted.
Grim Reaper: You must play me again.
Dead Bill: WHAT?
Grim Reaper: Um, best two out of three.
Dead Bill, Dead Ted: No way!
Grim Reaper: Yes way.

Death wins. Death always wins.

See, you thought I didn’t know my Bergman!

    Love your site! (Found it on BoJo’s site). I’m afraid I haven’t seen any of his films either :-(

    Thanks! Now I don’t feel so alone…although I gather if we HAD seen either of his films, we’d feel even MORE alone.

    Let’s face it, Bergman was a moody old fuck . . . .

    Hell, I’ve nothing against moody old fucks, being one myself. And having dated any number of them. But if you’re moody but NEVER funny, you’re outta heah!

    The legacy of puns has saved you. And Bergman, you’ll notice, is NOT here.
