Back when Adam Sandler was a regular on Saturday Night Live, he had a routine that he did a couple of times for the Halloween edition of the Weekend Update skit in which he suggested cheap costume ideas. For example, he’d take a pickle out of a jar, stick it under his nose, and announce, “I’m Mr. Crazy Pickle Mustache. I have a pickle for a mustache. Please give me some candy.” Basically, this third film in the Hellraiser series is more than a little reminiscent of Sandler’s SNL gag. Our antihero, Pinhead, lost all his cenobite buddies in the second one (of course, I think technically he died at the same time, but holding this kind of film to any sort of logic or continuity is a fool’s endeavor). So now he has to make some more. Lacking really good material (not unlike the screenwriter), he improvises with some folks from a local disco. End result: “I’m Mister Crazy CD-head Guy. I have CDs stuck in my head. Please give me some candy.” See if desperate
Media criticism. Pop culture snark. And movie reviews. Lots and lots of movie reviews.
