Initially I thought was more 80s style (a la Highlander movie which had a Queen soundtrack).

But I checked and "I Want It All" was released in 1989, and I guess some of that 80s style carried on into the early to mid-90s.

And love it totally. I still have to close my eyes and plug my ears on the scary gross, murderous shit, but can not get enough of the rest of it. Even the features about how it was written and the filming are wonderous to behold.

I remember, sometime back, a depiction of the characters as Republicans, was posted here. I hadn't watched yet, but still recommended it, because they looked so wicked and evil.

I ended up reading all of them in just the month of June last year. Off the cuff guess, 4500 pages.
Problem is I now have to re-read them because the scope and character count is so enormous, it
is impossible for me to recall everything I read over such a short period of time.

When straight after the books. I'll have to get them from him. I'm not reading too much right now. I go in fits and starts with books these days.

For a second I thought you were posting the first paperback cover for Game of Thrones, featuring Jon Snow looking like he was a 25 year old standard fantasy protagonist.
