    BlueSky Historians - what’s the most ahistorical thing you have ever seen in a film/TV show which was meant to be historical? (For me it has to be the use of Zadok the Priest playing during the Papal coronation of Rodrigo Borgia - Alexander VI - in The Borgias. 235 years before it was composed.)

    40 years later some of the folks filmed before the Judas Priest concert at the Capital Centre that became the 17 minutes cult fave doc Heavy Metal Parking Lot were in attendance at the AFI Silver for the screening of the film & outtakes. It was fascinating to hear bits of their life stories.

    Rewatching LÉON MORIN, PRIEST (French, 1961), a quietly absorbing film about a faithless mother (with a half-Jewish daughter) who has feelings for a handsome priest determined to stay celibate.

    I liked the last movie because Pinhead (aka The Hell Priest) was portrayed, for the first time, more canonically to how the Hell Priest was portrayed in the original novella. And it had some great scenes. But I've blanked a huge chunk of that movie, there was a period where nothing happened at all.

    The Hell Priest (aka Pinhead) has had many looks over the years. Even though I dont recommend watching anything past Bloodline (the hulu remake aside), Inferno is my favorite look of his. The movie is awful. But the Cenobites in this film have such a surreal look.
