Enjoy the *Starman* reaction and, as always, leave a comment below! I feel like I'm running out of John Carpenter movies to watch I haven't seen...:( I need more suggestions! I've missed you all! I'M SO HAPPY YOU'RE HERE, AND I'M SO HAPPY TO BE BACK!! My "short break" from recording turned into quite an unexpected long break (moved to my new place! & many other unexpected life events happened... plus panic attacks.. no fun) More detailed update videos coming soon!

Definitely an underrated John Carpenter film! The leads carried the movie and it's a shame Karen Allen hasn't gotten a ton more work over the years. By the end, I realized you pointed out one of the themes of this movie -- there were so many helpful people willing to extend compassionate hand to someone in need! They demonstrated the best in humanity as a counterpoint to the military commander who acted from fear.

Those aren't novels, are they? They're books about human psychology and the desire to find religious significance in nothing but background static. Contact was a novel of his, though, made into a much better film with Jodie Foster about 1999.

Also, the pioneer probes back when they made Starman, were much more further away in the solarsystem, than the voyager probes where. And also the pioneer probes carried golden plates with messages to aliens. Although the voyager probes were the ones with voice recordings on it. But still,.. it would be a little bit more logical to take the pioneer probes for the movie. But you are right... even the pioneer probes are only few dozends astronomical units away from our sun. Thats literally nothing against the nearest stars which are tenthousands of astronomical units away.

@Psilocybin77

This was a very emotional reaction for me, as I should have expected. I was going through some real struggles a few years ago; and by luck, or a twist of fate, "Starman" began playing on the movie channel. This entire movie film is a reminder that while there is great evil and loss; there is also kindness, beauty, and love in the world. It was a message I needed in that moment, and I really do believe it set me on a different path. "Love is when you care more for someone else than you do yourself", is such a powerful and true sentiment. It was so appropriate then, when Boo appeared because it reminded me of my best friend Swif T. Justice III Esq. (Swifty for short); my beloved Tuxedo cat, who passed over a year ago now. Every day his memory helps me live a better life, and I hope Boo does the same for you. Swifty was there when I watched this movie, those years ago, and he is gone, but I will cherish always that cold winter day we snuggled up watching "Starman". Even in my darkest hours; I had his love, and I cared more for him, than I did myself. Some might find this all a little maudlin, but I'm a sensitive soul and I wanted to share my very human experience with this film. While John Carpenter has made some amazing, scary, and outrageously fun movies, I think "Starman" is his crowning achievement. Some movies are a gift to us all, and "Starman" ranks up there with the best of them. Thank You so much for your reaction to this under appreciated classic.
@AngelGroves
@AngelGroves 7 месяцев назад
Thank you so, so much for your comment and sharing. I'm very sorry for your loss of sweet Swifty (Swif T. Justice III Esq.). Doesn't matter if it's been a year, or a day, I know it still hurts. Your comment actually made me cry, and my thoughts are with you, truly. Boo is like my kid and I can't even think about anything like that (as well as with my new kitten..videos coming soon). I actually had even "unofficially" adopted this one cat that roamed around my new place (a tuxedo cat!) about 9 months ago. I fell in love with him (he appeared to be young) and he would come to mine and Boo's new porch every day to hang out and eat, and eventually began sleeping on the porch every night too. He had become my other little kitty kid (named him Nibbler). I was planning on taking him to the vet to get everything/anything needed done for him, but 4 days before Christmas, he went missing....I believe he got sick and went off as passed away somewhere. I honestly don't know and spent a lot of Christmas crying. It's been really tough the last couple of months without him, and he was just this random outside cat that I've only known for such a short time...so that's why I can honestly only imagine what it was like for you. I like you pointed out that quote from the movie; it's one of my favorites as well. This whole movie is really beautiful, and it now means a lot to me too. I'm so glad you are here and watched the reaction. I'm sure Swifty had the best possible life with you and couldn't have been happier, and is even better off than we are now! But I'm still so sorry for your loss. He was a very lucky cat to have you! Thanks again for sharing about Swifty and what this movie means to you. I really appreciate comments like this and appreciate you being a part of the channel. I'll see you soon for the next reaction! Take care.

A beautiful movie, and hugely underappreciated. Carpenter wouldn't have chose to make this if he couldn't make something of it. Jack Nitzsche's score is majestic, he's definitely adjusting his style for Carpenter though. Rather like Morricone did for The Thing. Jeff Bridges should have won all the awards for this performance, and Karen Allen is just perfect. An unforgettable partnership here.
@mnomadvfx
@mnomadvfx 11 дней назад
"Rather like Morricone did for The Thing" The score for The Thing was actually a combination of Morricone, Carpenter himself and another composer called Alan Howarth who collaborated with Carpenter on scores for several of his films as well as doing sound FX work for many others, including all 6 of the original Star Trek films.

What an unexpected multilayered treat to come home to. ~ Yaaay you're back! And reacting to what I always will say is an absolute gem of a movie ever since I first saw it on one of several HBO free previews at my grandparents' house in the 80's. And, of course, wholly giving it the genuine heartfelt (and heartwarming) reaction that only you can give which is always such a delight to see. I'm never not going to shake my head at those who dismiss this movie as shmaltzy or a mere product of its time. The fact is that this was one of several other films in 1984 ("The Last Starfighter" and "2010: The Year We Make Contact") that looked to space and its possibilities with a genuine sense of hope. One that carries through on repeat viewings. Although "Starman" just may be the more touching thanks to its simple yet profound introspective look at humanity from, to quote Shel Silverstein, the outside lookin' in. Yeah, there's a reason the love theme holds a very special place in my heart and always will. Thank you as always for your reactions, and it truly is so good to have you back. Also, HAHH! ^ _ ^ The moment that we first see the flouff pop up onscreen in this video? Gives us the butt immediately. This is why we love them. :)

Welcome back, reaction to one of my favorites. Another Jeff movie in same 1984, Against All Odds, with James Woods and Rachel Ward. And 10 years later Blown Away, with Tommy Lee Jones and Forrest Whitaker. And 3rd, 1985 Jagged Edge, with Glenn Close. All 3 are thrillers. If course Karen Allen is most known in Raiders of the Lost Ark as Marion, and younger in 1978 Animal House, with John Belushi and Tom Hulce.. She's Katy. Good John Carpenter is also 1984 The Philadelphia Experiment, with Michael Pare', from Eddie and the Cruisers movies and Steets of Fire. It's a Sci-Fi/Thriller. Looking as beautiful as ever, 💕💋💕

Scotty Hayden is now searching for his mom Jenny, and Starman joins him in searching for her every week. A good follow up to this film.

Lovely reaction - there's something reassuring about genre - in this case, the premise is so resonant and deeply human, and the film just aims at the core of this premise, and brings 2 magnificent actors - and then the genre mechanics just kick into play, and it's like the vehicle drives itself - there's a disarming, understated simplicity to it, as tho they don't need to try because they're already aiming at the right target - this is the Classical Hollywood craftsman approach of Carpenter - Howard Hawks is his role model, I think HOWARD HAWKS - Hawks is IMO the finest director of the studio system, and To Have and Have Not is IMO the finest film of Classical Hollywood - it's a wartime thriller, adapted from Hemingway, and yet it's so laid back and breezy, with the sense that everyone is just having such a good time doing this, that the film turns into something hypnotic - this devil-may-care attitude combined with such masterful craftsmanship - Hawks is the greatest, IMO, because he did such varied films in so many different genres, and yet in each genre he's generated at least one film that's regarded as an all time classic for that genre - Big Sleep for film noir; Red River and Rio Bravo for Western; His Girl Friday and Bringing Up Baby for screwball comedy; The Thing for sci fi horror (yes, the one Carpenter remade); plus this one I mentioned, among others - his onscreen counterpart might be Cary Grant, another breezy figure who never takes himself seriously, yet someone with astonishing, almost supernatural, invisible technique, who can do virtually anything - JEFF BRIDGES At the time Starman was made, Jeff Bridges was regarded in the same way as DeNiro - excitement around each new film re what this great actor would do with this next role - he's an actor who feels like he's spent a lifetime inside the body of each different character, so this role was novel, playing a character not at home inside his own body - it's wonderful how he conveys this, and then gradually shows him settling into this body, quietly changing as he absorbs the emotional experiences - other great Bridges roles include O'Neill's great play Iceman Cometh; Last Picture Show; the magical Last Unicorn; Jagged Edge; Fabulous Baker Boys; Fisher King; American Heart; Fearless; Wild Bill; Arlington Road; Iron Man; Crazy Heart; True Grit KAREN ALLEN Karen Allen is also superb, but sadly IMO the question w her is whether a given project would even be worthy of her; this happens so much w many fine actors, especially women; aside from this film, and her stint in Raiders of the Lost Ark, her other great showcase is in Glass Menagerie, the effervescent classic play from Tennessee Williams, in a luminous film directed by Paul Newman himself, also starring John Malkovich and Joanne Woodward (btw - everyone needs to see Williams' Streetcar Named Desire) - another astonishing film that nobody talks about is Shoot the Moon, where Allen is less central, but the performances in this piercing family drama by Albert Finney and Dianne Keaton ought to be legendary by now CHARLES MARTIN SMITH I should add a comment about Charles Martin Smith - who brings in solid support here - during the 80s he was cast in a very specific way across several films - as a boyish liberal scientist shrugging off officious bureaucracy in the face of a wondrous encounter; the man who became a scientist out of this childlike sense of wonder, who's the point of identification w the audience, the one who bears witness - see this in Starman; Never Cry Wolf; Iceman (edit: I was wrong about Iceman, where Timothy Hutton plays a role it seems tailor made for Smith - it has something to do with this 80s notion of science and wonder, and this new Lucas-Spielberg approach of appealing to the overgrown adolescent in all of us) - also see Smith in The Untouchables, playing a subtly comic supporting role, still drawing on his easy affectionate connection w the audience CLASSICS OF SCI FI AND ROMANCE If you like sci fi romance, the ultimate example of this is La Jetee, sheer poetry onscreen - La Jetee is like an unofficial sequel to Hitchcock's Vertigo, so see Vertigo first and then watch La Jetee for a complex and magical experience - another example of a masterpiece of romance followed up by a sci fi sequel is In the Mood for Love, followed by 2046 - for another transcendent sci fi experience, see the Giorgio Moroder version of Fritz Lang's 1927 Metropolis - for beautiful romance, I'll make some suggestions from before 1950 - Sunrise; L'Atlante; Casablanca; Philadelphia Story; Red Shoes; Cocteau's Beauty and the Beast

To be a teenager in the 80s watching John Carpenter's films was a revelation. He was so interesting and diverse in the movies he took on. His soundtracks were always amazing and memorable. And his films followed no typical Hollywood pattern. As you watched them, you literally never knew how the movie would end. So different from 99% of the regurgitated, formulamatic stuff we see in theaters today.

If you like special effects and makeup effects from the Eighties, and Nineties, you are likely watching the work of Stan Winston and Rick Baker.

I just rewatched a brilliant and beautiful psychological, mindbender called "The Jacket", with Adrien Brody and Kiera Knightley. It's a wonderful and unexpected love story with amazing music and a beautiful twist that I won't spoil. While it may not be "reaction" material, I hope you will watch it for your own enjoyment.

Great reaction to a classic. Karen Allen was also in Animal House, Raiders of the Lost Ark, and a Superman movie. Jack Nitschke also did the music for Razors Edge, which was Bill Murray's first dramatic role, based on the novel by Somerset Maugham.

Angel my friend I read your “Welcome” letter and I seriously thought you were round 22 or 24. Time has been good to you. I loved your reaction. I saw this movie in the theatre when theatres would get filled to capacity to watch movies. Back then people would applaud the feel good scenes in the movie and booed villains.

"Okay?" "Okay? Are you crazy? You almost got us killed! You said you watched me, you said you knew the rules!" "I do know the rules." "Oh, for your information pal, that was a YELLOW light back there!" "I watched you very carefully. Red light stop, green light go, yellow light go very fast." Karen Allen in panties! 😍 Fun Fact: Jeff Bridges hired a dancer to help him with Starman's naïve movements. Automobile Enthusiast Fact: The vintage hotrod seen briefly in a car chase with the cops was a black 1930s Ford V8 Roadster Hot Rod. Location Location Fact: The rendezvous crater location where the Starman (Jeff Bridges) was to meet and return to the mother ship is a place situated just outside of Winslow, Arizona. According to National Geographic, the site is one mile wide, 570 feet deep, and about 49,000 years old. Movie Magic Fact: When Jeff Bridges walks outside the house naked and uses a 'marble' his hair seems to stand on end. This effect was actually created by shooting Bridges hanging upside-down and then matting the shot onto the background the right way up to give him a surreal look. Ornithology Fact: Actor Jeff Bridges studied ornithology and the behavior of birds to prepare for his role as an alien in human form for this movie. Bridges particularly used the sudden jerky head movements, amongst other nuances and mannerisms, of birds for his Starman character. Bridges figured that the alien would not have human characteristics and, being encased in a human body, would act with base primitive animal instincts.

Hello Angel. New to your channel, and hadn't thought about "Starman" in years. Saw it at theater when it was released, and really loved it. Bridges was nominated for Best Actor in this movie, and since you like him so much, please check out Coen Brothers remake of "True Grit"..........he was tremendous. Anyway, enjoyed your post and will keep watching. Thanks for sharing. Wayne

I loved this reaction and this movie, I saw it in the movie theatre as a kid and is one of my fondest memories. Just hearing the music is enough to make me tear up a little. There was also a TV show that was really good from what I remember but I don't think it had a proper ending. I didn't realise that it was a John Carpenter film until today.
