Movies. Fire and Ice. Dragonslayer.

 Some great gifs of Fire and Ice.  I was looking for the one with the centipedelike thing that attaches to the evil dude’s arm when they r searching for the girl maybe around the 20 minute mark (well before 30 minutes).

Here's a shot of it, very gruesome. 


And rewatching Dragonslayer… man was Vermithrax the dragon menacing and awesome to witness. The eye squinting expressions, the point up fire the roof of the cave, the slow reveal when the dragon would slowly rise up next to a person….

Other tidbits:

  • the green fire was cool
  • the swirling mini-tornado-ish shape of the fires on the water were cool
  • Again, the dragon intro was so well done. Very much more a horror intro, kinda freaky. But then in almost contrast it was interesting that they made the dragon a mom, and the whole weird little dragons killing the princess thing was kinda wild and weird. 
  • For a minute I thought it was going to be anti-religion with the actor who was The Emperor in The Empire Strikes Back 
I would love to make/get a gif of the squinting.
