Interviewing Sybil Danning is insane, it's like speaking to a goddess..
Around 2 minutes she says I'm always very happy that my fans want to see me again, when was the last time you heard a Hollywood star saying "I'm happy that my fans want to see my again", the only reason that I care about Hollywood are actors like Sybil Danning, I don't care about stars, I don't care for those who play the heroes, me myself, I don't like to be portrayed as hero, I don't find them related, I find them artistically restrictive characters, the last thing I want to see in the world of freedom and no restriction, I love villains, I love actors who play villains and want the whole world to appreciate them more..
Damn, she's making movies since 1968, isn't that crazy, isn't she supposed to be the greatest actress in the world? Do you know how insane to make interview with an actress like her?
Around 12 minutes the interviewer asks her about how she managed to play all these roles and she said, "I was having fun, I wasn't just doing it for the money", compare that to how modern actors and directors say, and know that great actors like Sybil Danning are underappreciated...
Why great actors like Sybil Danning isn't interviewed in big Youtube channels?
Around 15 minutes Sybil Danning saying that she basically refused to play the heroine of the movie, and preferred to play a smaller role with less money because her fans would love it more, tell, when was the last time you heard a Hollywood actor that say he choose his fans over more money?
Around 25 minutes, Sybil Danning talking about very interesting behind the scenes stories about Howling II..
Just finished the interview, we love you too, Sybil Danning πππ.
Interview with the legendary Sybil Danning
In 1985 movie Howling II. Actress Sybil Danning and Marsha Hunt plays as villainess Stirba and Mariana.
This is a movie I watch for the first time, for Sybil Danning, I hope it's fun...
The movie starts with what I think an introduction of our villainess? Like Stefan played by Christopher Lee saying "The inhabitants of the earth have been made drunk with her blood." Like is he talking about Sekhmet or Jesus Christ? Because Jesus is the reverse of Sekhmet artistically, Sekhmet the one that was thirsty for human blood, and was offered wine to trick her, while Jesus offered his blood to humans, Sekhmet was sent to punish humans, Jesus was sent to save them, Jesus Christ is The Great Sphinx, the reverse and the opposite of Sekhmet, he is the guardian of the dead, like The Sphinx was for the pharaohs, so he was basically the manifestation of Sekhmet and her reverse in the other life, Christianity rejected the worldly gods, the goddess of science, art, and music, and only kept The Heavenly Father, Yeah, the sun circle around both the head of Jesus Christ and Sekhmet isn't a random coincidence, In my opinion it's possible that Christianity evolved from such philosophy, basically, if Sekhmet is the worldly goddess and her reverse is the heavenly god, maybe we should reject the worldly goddess and disobey her in order to please the heavenly god, which resulted in the idea of Satan, the idea that humans should either suffer in the worldly realm or suffer in the heavenly realm, which explain monasticism..
The acting in this movie is so funny, minutes ago, you have Christopher Lee, a very serious actor with a very serious performance, then just after him the movie go to the night club when someone says "Hey, what's with you, man? Can't you see she's a lady?" in the most fake way possible..
Around 9 minutes mark, Mariana took a group of people, and holy shit, that was bloody, and the practical effects are insane, the concept of werewolves in this movie is basically like vampires, only they can be in the light..
Watching movies from the 80s is insane, you are watching something took place 40 years ago, it's like travelling in time, it's priceless, especially if it's a good movie, you have never seen..
Watching the movie around 15 minutes thinking that Christopher Lee will break the fourth wall and look to me seriously saying "I know I'm too good for this movie" LOL..
Poor Erle died around 25 minutes..
We see Mariana around 28 minutes, and it's insane, You basically just saw brutally devouring multiple people, and she looks absolutely gorgeous, should you love her or hate her, run away from her or towards her, a character with godly power, the eye of Ra, you both attracted to her and repulsed by her, the way earth attracted and repulsed to the sun..
The villains started their evil rituals around 32 minutes, this is a well-made scene, the scene contain frames with Saturn Devouring His Son painting, this is extremely artistic..
We then see the gorgeous Stirba around 33 minutes..
This scene is so beautiful I'm gonna cry, the way she undress her robe to show how beautiful she is, is like a butterfly coming out from chrysalis, to show that she got another life and rebirth..
You basically are watching Stirba a very hot scene with Mariana then suddenly the scene is cut and you see Stefan in front of you, with his seriousness, it give you "Your father entered the room as you are watching the scene", that's a great jump scare LOL!!
Stefan would be a great comedy character, it can inspire a great comedy characters on the like of Dr. Rumack in Airplane!
It's hard to decide which Sybil Danning's movie I like more is it Hercules or this one, because I'm having fun watching both and the two are completely different characters..
We see Stirba again around 48 minutes having some werewolfy fun..
We see her again around 52 minutes with this insanely attractive outfit, the way she sits on the chair elegantly is very interesting..
I don't know, if a 10 thousand year old goddess exist in real life, I would probably worship her, I would absolutely worship Stirba if she actually existed, if not because she's so gorgeous, she probably more trustworthy to follow from billions of people who don't have as much knowledge of the world as her..
Around 56 minutes Mariana said "Let me kill him" and I burst out laughing..
I love Sybil Danning, whenever she plays a villainess, she's always awesome and I love this movie..
Around 1 hour, a petty villain was assaulting a poor girl, and Stirba kind of saved her, and maybe her men ate him, then she uses her to lure the hero..
The werewolves having another wild party around 1 hour 8 minutes, and the heroes are gonna ruin it now LOL..
There's absolutely no woman in the world as beautiful as Stirba, I would do anything to be with her.. How come someone watch this movie and give it anything but 10/10 score, like, have you seen anyone as beautiful as Stirba?!
It's like when Nizar Qabbani was expressing his love and the contradictory nature of love, he was describing her when he said:
"I hate her... and yet I long for her.
And I love my hatred for her..
I love the malice in her eyes, and the falsehood in her words.
Her eyes, like a wolf's, are deceitful.
The devil has taken up residence in her pupils,
And lust has extinguished her reason.
If she hugs me, she breaks my ribs,
And pour her venom upon my mouth."
what the poet is describing here is so being in love that the word love can't describe the intensity of the feeling, that's why he trying to describe his lover as a villainess that whenever she hugs him, he became helpless as if ribs became broken and losing every ability on resistance, and that's how Stirba, you know she's a villainess, you know you should hate her, but because how gorgeous she is, the mixture of feelings of attraction and repulsion create a higher intense feeling of not just being attracted to her, you are passionate about her, that you would even die to be with her, that's how great such character is..
The practical effects around 1 hour 18 minutes is insanely good, I don't care if it looks like a dummy, but I would prefer this every time over CGI..
I think the final confrontation around 1 hour 20 minutes..
Stirba says "Finally, we met again", if I were there all I would be thinking about "I'm so in love with you, I would be a werewolf to be with you" LOL..
There are some awesome 80s movies, that was fun..
I consider being able to like villains is the ultimate measurement of any free society, and also that characters like Stirba is the highest form of art, and without it, you are headed towards a dark age, where not only art, but science and religious freedom become at risk as well in a multicultural society which Egypt was, and it sustained a system that lasted for thousands of years, till Christianity came and it turned it into a lifeless empire that can only run by coercion, which ended with it imploding under the unsolved contradictions, villains also important to replace the unsolved contradictions only in a fictional space not a real one, that's what escapism is, replacing the real contradictions the empires faced historically with fictional contradictions, and even the leaders can share their followers such fictional contradictions, this can't be replaced with AI, I never experienced any contradictions with anything made with AI, and even when using the AI to create stories, you will never experience a contradiction with a story made..
Why this movie isn't one of the greatest movies of all time? And why Sybil Danning isn't the greatest actress of all time? It's full of contradictions and still being able to achieve escapism and immersion, the contradiction that the hero isn't like Rambo so you automatically admire, the villainess is insanely beautiful, the contradiction between the seriousness Christopher Lee and the absurdity of some other scenes, it's very rare to find movie like that, let alone how it basically an early movie towards the vampire genre, it also has some elements that led to Salma Hayek in From Dusk Till Dawn, so I don't care, Sybil Danning is one of the greatest actresses of all time.
Let me tell another thing about how great this movie is, you have multiple villains, Mariana and Vlad, who once they met put their medals together as if they are in love, then ended in love afterwards, you have Stirba, who is absolutely breathtaking, you also feel bad for Erle, only one villain doesn't have contradictions, and it's Tondo, Tondo's character is made, and a character that have no contradictions is always be a character you end up hating or at least have apathy towards it, you would never want to watch this character again, it's one of the worst characters ever..
There are two things that I wouldn't trade them with any other hobbies, movies and reading, not into games, if I ever played a game, it would be probably chess, other than that, it's very rare for me to play a game, movies for me are unreplaceable, movies with mythology, villains and escapism are absolutely awesome.. I don't know how to watch a movie if not for the villains, maybe if it's comedy, maybe if I would watch something tragic and very dark, then it's the reverse of a villainess, Frankenstein, just below that if an actress played a villainess then had her own movie, because I would want to see her on screen for the longest time possible, and that would make me want to watch a movie starring her, even if I wouldn't watch the movie otherwise..
Sybil Danning and Marsha Hunt as evil babe Stirba and Mariana in Howling II
In web series The Sandra West Diaries season 1 episode titled Silencers and Mini Skirts aired 2016. Actresses Rachel Farrow, Maria Leicy and Vanessa Suarez play as villains Vivian Ventura, Bromide and Honey Walker.
I think this is the first time for me to watch Superseven / Sandra West videos, the video felt inspired from the 60s movies, which I rarely watch, and I'm very ignorant about the 60s pop-culture..
When checking the channel I watched this video of actress Olivia Dunkley talking about the horrible news that Robert Griffith, the creator of the series sadly left our world πππ, I only know about it now..
So, I hope it's fun to watch, and let's start with the first episode of The Sandra West Diaries..
Ok, this episode they basically use nothing when someone is shot, they just act like it, which is really cool, I hate when they use bad CGI in modern movies, it feels like someone is scratching the video, as if someone grabbed a pen and went wrote on top of the video, it looks stupid and annoying..
Ok, the fight scenes actually looks better than most of what I watch from modern movies, It's so obvious Sandra West is hitting the air, but at least she can act and move as she's fighting, like, the acting is good actually, they episode focus on what they got not what they lack, and what they got that they can act, and in the end, it's fun, it doesn't try too hard to be something it isn't, I will probably watch an episode every week or so and will update it here..
Maybe 60s movies aren't bad after all..
Anyway, you can watch the entire episode here..
Let's start watching the second episode of Sandra West's adventure by the amazing Olivia Dunkley, and play episode 2 Bullets Don't Argue..
This is so hilarious, the episode starts with a gigantic ape..
Sandra West went to Mexico and it's not yellow, when this episode was they never did that in movies or TV shows..
This episode reveals that Sandra West used to work for a villainess called Sue Muru and the league of assassins.. And it seems there's a flash back from Super Seven series..
I think we see the villainess of the episode Honey Walker played by Vanessa Suarez..
That was a good episode, and Honey Walker was absolutely stunning..
You can watch the whole episode here.
Now with episode 3 Pity About the Dress..
After watching Agent Joe Walker, this series actually became more interesting, because I now know the theme behind it..
Sandra West is so cool..
I think the villainess of this episode is Sandra Lustenberg played by Nisa Wong..
There isn't much action till episode 6 Tools of the Trade..
The villainess of this episode is Agent Bromide played by Maria Leicy.. God, she's so beautiful. Agent Bromide appears around 3 minutes mark. I wish if she had more screen time or played other episode, she's insanely beautiful, we never see someone as beautiful in movies nowadays, which sucks..
You can watch the whole episode here.

Movie Name : Sumuru
Actress Name : Simona Williams and Nadia Kretschmer
Character Name : Taxan
Year : 2003
In 2003 movie Sumuru. Actresses Simona Williams and Nadia Kretschmer play as villains. WOW, this is Michael Shanks from Stargate sg-1, that was before Stargate, he played a lot of roles before Stargate, I wonder what he thought when he knew that he would be a part of Stargate, personally I never seen him in anything else but Stargate, till now.. This movie is so cheap, but with good actors..
They used to film in really awesome places..
We get to see the first villainess around 9 minutes..
We first see the gorgeous Taxan around 12 minutes, god, my heart is beating seeing her in every second on screen..
She's offering a blood sacrifice to the serpent goddess, I assume the snake represent goddess Sekhmet, the eye of Ra, I really miss supernatural villains..
Sumuru is disrespecting the serpent goddess, how rude!!
There's multiple women wearing bras with a cage around their chests, like, what are you doing here? LOL!
The movie is low budget, it's very obvious, but doing incredible work with so limited resources..
Alexandra Kamp is so elegant and beautiful playing Sumuru..
This movie is weird, it's a 2003 movie, so it doesn't feel exactly like a 90s movie nor as 2010s movie, something in the middle as if it's a transition phase..
Taxan is a living serpent goddess, which is very interesting, in From Dusk Till Down, Salma Hayek was basically manifestation of a goddess, Santanico Pandemonium is basically Sekhmet, the ancient Egyptian goddess that is thirsty for blood, with the sun crown over her head, and you would notice how familiar it is to Helios' crown, and the snake around her also appear in ancient Egyptian depiction of the goddess, so Taxan being a manifestation of a goddess is kind of cool..
To know how important Sekhmet is to the old world, you only need to know that she was worshiped for 3000 years, with no forcible pressure, with the central nations isn't as powerful, people whose their writing to the letters is an art in itself, they worshiped such visualization of what would the god be like.. That's not just like any character, that's the character that gave us the whole concept of vampires, and her father Ra, thanks to this character, movies like groundhog day and every movie with a loop on Ra daily cycle, and contributed to philosophy..
This movie is stupid, and I love it, it's not serious, like the right level of being serious but not very much, like Hercules 1983..
We see our goddess again around 39 minutes, she orders her women to get rid of the guards, and to get the hero to her..
Taxan meet the hero around 41 minutes, I don't know why I'm in love with her, Taxan asks the hero to join her to punish the heroine for her blasphemy, it's insane, but I would do it if I were him, it doesn't make sense, I just wouldn't be able to resist her!
The reason that the hero refused Taxan's tyranny is because in the heroic world acts driven by reason, like why would he support those who would oppress him later?! But in the villain world her tyranny is her beauty, and both men and women suffering by being enslaved by such tyrannical beauty that took away from them any way to resist, her beauty causing many men to face hunger as they can't stop thinking about her, nothing as tyrannical as to take control of what others think, which what a beautiful woman like Taxan do. If you see the whole movie as a painting it doesn't matter how many elements are in the painting as long as it would show us how beautiful Taxan is, she has the contradictory nature of Sekhmet, the character can hold two contradictory absolute truths as the same time, she represent tyranny, and at the same time represent freedom, as portraying villains as beautiful is the highest point of creative freedom, many great fictional characters these contradictions, like with Frankenstein, Victor Frankenstein is both the monster and the human, two absolute contradictory truths, same goes with the best Arab poets, when they describe love, for example:
Jarir when said in his poem
"Those eyes, whose gaze is captivating,
have slain us, yet they do not revive our slain."
To know how good character Taxan is, I miss seeing her, not because the movie is boring, but I want to see her more, you never get that feeling with many characters..
I have to re-watch Stargate, I miss this show..
The final confrontation starts around 1 hour 15 minutes..
You can watch the whole movie here..
In the ancient world art and science were treated as sacred, so maybe they didn't have understanding of physics to go to space, but they were experts in administrating society, so when you have a goddess as Sekhmet, it's supposed to invoke a feeling that can't be replicated otherwise, and that's true with two types of characters like a reversal of colors of the same white and black drawing, one with black paper drawn by white lines which is Frankenstein, the other with white paper and drawn by black lines, and funny enough both Frankenstein and The Vampyre were written as a result of the challenge of Villa Diodati, we have characters that proved to be powerful for thousands of years, that associated to some of the oldest artistic works, which is Sekhmet, and her reverse Sphinx, so if we assumed that the ancient gods were made as a way to invoke certain feelings, and Sekhmet represent both attraction and repulsion at the same time, then we can hypothesize that her reversal The Great Sphinx was made for Sekhmet, which make it also Frankenstein, I doubt that there's any character I haven't seen can be as good as these two, because I've seen them all, what Hollywood have been doing for about decade now is creating boring characters, the same type of characters that would be created in dark ages, with the sin have to be repulsive and the good have to look perfect, and they have their audiences, like I enjoyed Hercules, but first I was a kid, the second reason, everything in the show looks awesome, the actors, the costumes, the monsters were fun to watch, but still the character of Hercules itself isn't that interesting, the show is all about looking aesthetically good, easy and simple, like, would I invest tens of hours watching a new remake for a protagonist today? No, I won't, I would only watch it for two reasons, for the villains, and that's what I watch movies and TV shows for, or if the protagonist was a villainess before and I really want to see the actress again on screen as much as possible, like with Hard Knox, I had a great time watching the movie, I love every second of both Kim Penn and Simone were on screen, and the movie was fun..
One of the most interesting things about the character of a villainess, the previous movie with the great Sybil Danning playing Adriana in Hercules have the opposite message of this movie, if you are watching it for the heroes, you will love watching one hero and hate the other, but if you are watching it for the villains, you would have the same contradictory feelings towards the villainess no matter you agree with the message of the movie or not, same thing apply on characters like Frankenstein as it also invoke a certain feeling even if you disagree with the message behind the movie or not, which actually help people be more tolerant..
I know how Hard Knox is barely known outside the fandom of female villains, but he would watch Kim Penn playing villainess before and wouldn't love watching this movie and feel like he had the greatest time of his life? Female villains is like artistic connection that goes back to a thousands of years, and movies are giving you such connection, so when you see a villainess on screen, that's how people 4000 years ago saw the gods..
Simona Williams as evil babe Taxan in Sumuru
In 1983 movie Hercules. Actress Sybil Danning plays as villainess Adriana.
Watching 1983 Hercules for the first time, the Hercules I've never known..
Why this movie looks so good? This is from 1983, it's unbelievable!!
This movie somehow feel like a christian religious movie, yet we get a villainess, so, I guess we should give credit to Jesus?
Religions as a whole a great source of stories, if you have a story that survived for thousands of years, that's a good story, it doesn't matter if you like it or not, people must've founded interesting or captured their hearts or minds that it survived till today, same with cultural stories that a culture keep repeating for thousands of years..
I wonder what people felt watching this movie back then, especially that Hercules: The Legendary Journeys didn't exist then!!
It's insane how free of restrictions this movie is, we basically getting high tech machines in a christian-like story with Greek theme!! I mean, killer robots VS ancient half Greek god, hell yeah!!
Around 27 minutes, after Hercules lost his father, someone called him telling him "Your mother in danger!" was like "What?!" and it felt like "Shit! Not again!" LOL!!
And we see the killer robot, this thing is awesome!! LOL!!
Somehow we don't get this stupid shit anymore, everything have to be smart, fuck that!!
This is so dumb and fun, I love it..
Hollyshit, this thing is really good, the way the director filmed the water filling the stable, wow!!
Finally we see the stunning Adriana around 44 minutes, as she captured Hercules and ordered her men to kill him..
I wish if I've seen Adriana more on screen..
Around 51 minutes we see Adriana again, her presence is insane..
About to finish 1 hour of the movie, and I can't believe that movies used to be that good.
Around 1 hour 13 minutes, the rope of chariot was broke, and Hercules was talking to Circe saying "Why did the rope break? What happened to your powers?" and Circe was like "You made me fall in love...and when that happens to a sorceress, she loses all her powers. l, the enchantress, have been enchanted." and it's so funny but in the most entertaining way possible, this movie is insanely good, I love it..
Sybil Danning as evil babe Adriana in Hercules
In 2012 movie Snow White and the Huntsman. Actress Charlize Theron plays as villainess Ravenna.
I think this is the second live action movie I've seen about Snow White, can't remember the other one, just checked, this is the first one, the other movie I was thinking about was The Brothers Grimm where Monica Bellucci played Mirror Queen, let's see if this one would be memorable..
The music in this movie is really good..
33 minutes in, I'm bored..
Charlize Theron is gorgeous, but I got bored, it's numbing, so I don't think I will ever finish it..
