Oh heck ya about the rape thing. I don't think he knew fully what he was geting into with the weird, able to float, eyes change weird colors demon/fallen angel girl. But it had to be played out, because it matched the etching ya see? She was in the picture, and I'm pretty sure he was representing the snake in the same pic. Course, I could be wrong, I must watch it again!
hee hee hee this gives me an excuse to watch a johnny movie again instead of doing necessary, essential to life sorts of things....wait, who says i need an excuse?

Didn't look like a rape to me. But I could be wrong.

Oh, I don't think it was meant to be a rape scene. It's just that Dean's expression became one of pain and horror in the midst of the scene--he had gotten in over his head and couldn't escape. Kind of the essence of rape.

...Or maybe the Girl was just doing one heck of a number on him. Oh, well. To me it was a weird scene, nonetheless, and mind-numbingly random. But it does make you say "Ah!" when he finds that last engraving in the windshield-wiper.

Kind of made you wonder if he was really going to attempt the thing himself, or be too freaked out to bother.

For most of the movie, I thought the blond was his 'familiar' or something. She was always there when he needed her, she had really strange 'powers', and I fully expected her to turn into a cat at any moment. She did have a cat-like face.

Ya the sex scene freaked me out to! She looked evil! And he looked terrified! I did wonder if it was rape and i think someone saying it was the essense of rape was probably right because i felt she was!
O i did think she was the Devil but according to something on the dvd she was like a temptress from hell!

Yeah this was definitely one of the weirdest JD movies I've seen.. the girl had beautiful eyes though! And based on the movie, yeah I also think that she might be the temptress in one of the pictures inside the book.. I don't know about u guys, but do u notice how the pictures that were in the book (regardless if Lucifer or the other guy drew it), also happened in real life (or maybe it was just one? I'm not so sure anymore)... Cause when his partner (in the beginning) died mysteriously when Dean asked him to take care of the book for the night.. he was sort of hanged by the stairs rigghht? That was in the book too, wasn't it? Then maybe that nude girl in one of the pictures was the blonde girl who was the demon's agent, or whatever she was... anyway I really liked the movie despite the weirdness.. The Book of Nine Gates really intrigued me =) Oh, and this is a bit off-topic, but I never knew Polanski (who directed The Pianist) directed this one too (not until now) -- But many salutes to him for this great flick ^_^

Oh, the blonde was drawn in one of the engravings, riding a giant serpent naked. Perhaps Dean was supposed to represent the serpent? Who knows. I find that if I try to figure out this movie too much, my head starts to hurt. So I simply just watch it for the pure creepy fun that it is. Oh, and I also like SD's notion that the blonde is Dean's familiar. I hadn't thought about that before, but that's a cool notion!! -The Fiend Also, I felt it only right since this is my 666th post, to make it on this particular board.

I agree with you guys that secne was way creepy. But like when rented the movie for the first time I was all like ;D yay movies that sex scenes with Johnny and then I saw the one at the very end at first he looked like he was willing to do so then he starts cringiging up fear. And the look on her face she looks like she is going to evily scakel at any moment. So yeah that was extermly creepy. But it didn't bother me that much cuz I am kind of into goth stuff and a lot of my friends off-line are in the gothic culture. lol but really his charcter dosn't have the best sex expernces the other woman he gets it on with. Ends up beating the crap out of him for the book. Thats kind of ironic seeing how this charcter is like the most sexaly drived charcters that I have seen Johnny play for a while.

But I don't think it was meant to be a pleasant experience.

*falls down laughing* I so would like to be a sidekick with you I love that charcter. Jack Sparrow and this charcter (whom I can't remember name of * ::)yes I know how lame of me*) I find to be the most sexy looking. The whole I am a weird book collector morid creepy guy is actully very sexy for Johnny. Even though some parts of moive creeped me out. Like when he find the dutches in her wheel chair strangled that was very disturbing.

Oh yeah, Dean Corso, that's his name, is an utterly sexy character. The looks, the actions, the attitude....the attitude especially is what I love most about Dean..... Mmmm......all put together in a wonderfully Johnny-shaped package that's guaranteed to cause swooning. ;D -The Fiend
