    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.)

    The mystery is good, don’t get me wrong, but that is a movie entirely about the conversation between Blanc and the Priest about whether faith is ever warranted and what meaning it gives to things.

    1/2 My weird genetic connection to Burroughs: Burroughs played Tom the Priest in the film Drugstore Cowboy. In it, he can be seen sitting in a worn out old chair. Friends of mine owned the chair and we once used it as a prop in one of my photo shoots when, for various reasons...

    I actually think Facebook is a bigger cesspit than X. It's filled with fake news. Just got super excited about a sequel to the Priest movie, only to realise that it is all fake news garbage

    This has some very tightly written dialogue for a horror film. The cop goes to visit the Priest in hospital, who's in bed reading the women's section of the newspaper. "Shouldn't you be reading the Gospels or something?" "Yeah, but they don't give you the fashions"

    A stripped back, piano version of You'll Never Walk Alone is very special to me. I used to be a singer and one time was asked to join a bunch of other Scouse singers to do a voiceover, round-the-piano version of YNWA for the film The Priest (with Linus Roach) We could hardly sing for crying.

    The first scene between Blanc and the Priest should be studied by film students for the next century. Heavy handed visual metaphors and ambitious monologues that concisely encapsulate the eternal struggle between logic and faith. What a freaking scene. Touché Padre.

    just watched the hellraiser reboot from 2022 again. no shade to doug bradley, but as fantastic a job as he did as Pinhead, jamie clayton just blew it completely out of the water. i think that's always gonna be my favorite portrayal and i really hope they make another film starring her as The Priest.

    Without saying your age, what's your favorite movie that came out when you were 18? GVS's casting William S. Burroughs as Tom the Priest was a nice touch...

    This response is identical to what Zorg told the Priest in the movie Galaxy Quest (right before he chokes on the cherry).

    Silver Bullet (Attias, 1985). Attias only made one feature film and this is it. A tight little werewolf yarn. The church dream scene is magnificent. Great creature effects. And the Priest is clearly a direct influence on Jesse Custer (Preacher) in terms of visuals. A good time.

    Also after reading the OG novella Priest/Pinhead was described as androgynous with a feminine voice yet was designed as a cis man for the films, there’s something really special and correct about the Priest being played by a trans women in the 2022 movie.

    I don't bother with that nonsense either brother. Have you seen the movie "Spotlight" Damn good movie and powerful story. Mom and I watched it before her death, and her last days when the Priest came in the room, she gave him both barrels of the shotgun, it was a thing of beauty..She was 91

    Watching the anti-Franco pro-freedom 1978 Spanish film THE PRIEST. Ultimately a scathing critique of the excesses the result from sublimated sexual desire in repressive societies. Directed by gay socialist Eloy de la Iglesia. Happy pride. Go watch some gay movies. #filmsky

    I need to watch the film; it’s on the to-do list. Gerontius was my first major choral performance at 19. So many wonderful moments. The Proficicere with the arrival of the Priest is one, but the final moments as he is lowered into Purgatory get me every time. Right here ❤️

    Slasher Saturday October 2026 week 2: The Priest: Thanksgiving Massacre I felt like this could’ve been a standard cabin in the woods type film that would’ve had a small edge factor of having a cool monster with a killer undead priest but they didn’t use him at his full potential #horrorsky #filmsky

    It looks the business for sure! 😯 Apparently it's a second part to a previous movie called The Priest? If so, I've never seen the first one.

    Lastly: Maybe if The Priest: Thanksgiving Massacre had more stakes and wider creative executions done by the undead priest then the movie would’ve worked well in the horror cabin movie genre. I wanted to like this film but it sadly underperformed for me and made me wished for it to be written better

    Fourthly: probably the most interesting thing about The Priest: Thanksgiving Massacre movie is the undead priest who shot himself and can’t rest from his sin of murdering and eating his wife. He could’ve been a cool looking monster for his priest robes and wide brim hat but he was left underused

    Thirdly: I will say that they made an interesting choice to have some of the family members killed off in The Priest: Thanksgiving Massacre movie by the undead priest as most horror movies focussing on a family would have them work together to survive and learn a valuable lesson about being a family

    Firstly: I think there’s a weird thing going on with the audio quality in The Priest: Thanksgiving Massacre film as it makes a hollow effect whenever the characters speaks. The camera framing looks limited as we basically only have one angle for each room the characters are in

    In the Priest run, Ross was a hapless State Department flunkie. Making him a CIA agent, and even having a CIA agent in the film that wasn’t an antagonist was a pretty big creative mistake. The only downside to Black Panther.

    The movie opens with Handel's Zadok the Priest. There's a great joke in there, as Oliver walks through Oxford. How do you know this piece of music? From Handel, or from the footie- it's the theme for the UEFA Champion's League. Nothing in the film suggests Fennell thought of this
