Rewatched 'The Mummy' (1999/Brendan Fraser) last night. Not only do I think its such a perfect adventure film, but the character of Imhotep is such a compelling yet frightening villain.
I don't know any other villain maybe besides Dracula that goes around basically sucking the life out of people. Which is why I love how the movie was directed cause you never get to see Imhotep actually do so but you hear it. Just hearing the noises of what he does to people is scary enough. Plus the idea of walking around a dark, underground, Egyptian Temple with him in the shadows is fucking scary. Arnold Vosloo was perfect for the role. I love the idea how he's brought back to life and through out the film he has to suck peoples fluids and organs to fully regenerates himself. So many films show people rising from the dead and they're exactly the same as they were before, I felt Imhotep actually had to work at fully coming back.
The undead dude from Hellraiser is pretty much exactly the same thing, but more gruesome

Brandon Morgan
I enjoyed it more than Indiana Jones as a kid. It's very underrated.
Nolan Williams
Adventurekino like pirates of the Caribbean 1.

Hey reddit!
Parker Wood
Oh boy I guess I'm rewatching this now
Jordan Ramirez
isnt that a drider?
Adam Phillips
Hey, where can I find people's usernames on this forum and how can I upboat posts that fit in with my worldview?
Charles Phillips
they should make one from Imhotep's perspective
Carson Sullivan
You can't. You have to do it over on reddit. But you already knew that. Stop being stupid.
Charles Reed
that bit there where imhotep enters stage left then poses always cracks me up
Grayson Cox
.........NOOOOOOOO
Dylan Lee
How would you know this is the top post on >>/r/movies unless you went there?
HEY GUYS! HES A BIG FAT PHONY!
Jayden Cooper
I've been watching the Hellraiser movies and that suck the life to regain strength concept is in all of them and I hate it. I don't know why, but conceptually I hate it. It took too much focus from the Hellraiser movies. There should have been more links to the alternate dimensions through using the box, but instead it was just "I NEED MORE PEOPLE TO SUCK TO BECOME WHOLE"
Ethan Anderson
Nice family guy reference broseph ;)
Evan Jones
Thought you'd like it considering you know that bacon narwhals at midnight, right?
Josiah Perry
I'm not the reddit guy. Just a family guy fanboy.
Thomas Lee
remember when Sup Forums had daily streams of this and o'connell posting was at the height of populaity?
it was a time before bane
Jonathan Allen
Eh, no. No it wasn't. That was well after Bane started.
Glauposting was the thing before Bane.
Evan Ward
Imothep did literally nothing wrong.
Everyone he killed either die by accident or he was compelled to kill them via magic.
Gabriel Bell
are you sure it was after baneposting?
Luke Rivera
Absolutely 110% certain.
Kevin Price
i wish i could see it again but it's only been about a year
i do however listen to the soundtrack every now and then:
Not really. I'm 6'4. She is bigger for those girls though.
Aaron Adams
they should re-release this movie with a redone scorpion king using motion capture animation.
Hudson Morgan
I wanna go back to 2008 too user. 2009-2010 was great and fantastic too you know.
Aaron Cooper
Who is dis please?
Andrew Russell
Which is odd because to me these movies seem like knock off Indiana Jones movies. Not to say they're bad, but just not as good.
Robert Hall
>filename had a hearty kek.
other than the abysmal cgi on The Rock, that was a really good sequel. Tomb of the Dragon Emperor is serviceable imo. not having Rachel Weisz really puts a damper on things.
Robert Carter
How can I always tell it's from reddit? Is it because they so little with so many words?
