A Butt-Numb-A-Thon 12 Missing Moment! Guillermo Del Toro's intro to the classic HUNCHBACK OF NOTRE DAME!

Hey folks, Harry here with a special moment that didn't quite happen at BUTT-NUMB-A-THON: THE DIRTY DOZENTH this past year.   Ordinarily - this would have been seen in a room full of lucky BNATTERS - now - it takes place with you sitting at your computer.

Guillermo rather desperately wanted to attend this year's BNAT, but as anyone who has been paying attention to his particular career path can attest.   The man is busy.   On that particular weekend he had to launch an exciting Video Game endeavor, but he insisted on still being a part of things.   Sadly, the video didn't quite get to me before the start of the event.   So instead, we've decided to use this video to perhaps inspire a great many of you to seek out the rather brilliant William Dieterle directed HUNCHBACK OF NOTRE DAME.   The only film to screen at the first ever Cannes Film Festival (Hitler's invasion of Poland caused the fest to close up).   One geeky thing that Guillermo doesn't mention...  Esmeralda's screams were those of Fay Wray's from KING KONG.   Yeah, I love those screams...
 



Now here's the trailer for the great 1939 film. Definitely a film you must see!
