The Merry Frolics of Satan

The devil hosts a flying carriage, and the ride is the product, not a warning.

The review

A traveler takes a carriage the devil provides. Georges Méliès, 1906, and the carriage flies. A child can watch the tricks. I let them, because the motion is the easy sell at the end of a day. The devil is a host. The ride is the product. It is not a sermon, and I am not going to paste one on.

Still, a host matters. Nothing in the reel asks the traveler to refuse. The ride keeps going, and a devil is in charge of it. Say the host's name if it goes on. Don't call it harmless just because nobody gets a lecture.

Journal

Keep The Merry Frolics of Satan in the record.

No house has filed a sentence for this yet.

Live Historic number 13. Yours can differ.

The glance

Industry and Household and Piety and Courage and Republic and Temperance and Truth and Stewardship are the thin ones.

Does anyone here do a real job, and does that job matter?

This phone is set for a grown person, just me. Change the ages.

Consider this

The Twilight Saga: Eclipse

24 instead of 13

The Twilight Saga: Eclipse is still a fantasy film, and it scores 24 instead of 13. What you gain is household: A father is still cooking.

The eight

1
Industry
No living is earned; the devil's carriage is the product.
1
Household
A traveler and a devil-host; no marriage, parent, or child.
1
Piety
Conscience does not stop the ride, and the reel is not a sermon.
2
Courage
He takes the devil's carriage; that is a stunt, not a costly risk.
1
Republic
No neighbor and no law; the devil is host and the ride is sold.
1
Temperance
The ride is the product, built to make you want the next mile.
2
Truth
A devil plays host, and the picture never calls that a lie.
1
Stewardship
A flying carriage is used up; nothing is kept for anyone after.

The review

Art is not a character. He is a permission slip for a lens that will not cut away. There is no household, no joke with a point, no dare that teaches a limit. The only skill on display is a refusal to be ashamed. That is not an art a house should pay for.

People will say it is only horror and you can look away. The film's whole method is that you do not look away. Decline it once, out loud, so a younger person hears that a strong stomach is not a virtue.
