LET ME EXPLAIN TO YOU WHY YOU ARE WRONG ABOUT EVERYTHING
You're Next isn't anything too special outside of Sharni Vinson and a few really, really good scenes. But since watching it, I've been a little obsessed with that song that keeps playing at the other house, Looking for the Magic by Dwight Twilley Band. It's really obnoxiously catchy. So I guess I'll always think of it as the Looking for the Magic movie.


Also, you guys The One I Love is pretty dope. I want more films to basically be extended Twilight Zone episodes with disturbing ambiguous endings. yessssss.

The difference is Joe Swanberg has made things that'd make you hesitate. (Also, googleing to make sure I was thinking of the right person made me realize I was thinking of Mark Duplass, but I've still seen enough of Swanberg's work to stand behind my original statement and I wish mumblecore had had more of an effect on mainstream cinema)

HaHaHa, I live in a temperate climate, so it's rarely too hot for pants or too cold for shorts, wear what ever leg covering makes you most comfortable both in terms of temperature or personal fashion sense. There is a fairly high murder rate, housing is insanely expensive and there's the constant threat of a massive earthquake, so it might balance out in the end.

You're not really missing out, it's just the other side of the same lovely coin. We have to deal with snow. Snow is loving misery. The last two years in a row we had some really scary winter storms and the year before those it snowed so heavily and so often that I literally ran out of places to heap all the snow I dug out of the driveway. The loving city of Boston ran out of places to put snow that year.

gently caress snow forever.

I mean I've really enjoyed being in snow the few times I've been in it, but yeah, I don't really have any experience with having to shovel it to leave my house. The worst we've had recently was a hard freeze for a few days early this year, during which all businesses were closed and everyone was pretty much forced to stay home. But that's a rarity here. I can't remember us having another freeze that bad since I've been alive. That was the during the whole Polar Vortex thing when weird poo poo like that was happening all over the country.

I wrote a thread on Bill & Ted a few years ago. I just remember realizing that the real genius of the movies is the way it does stupid humor with intelligence. It's one of the smartest stupid movies I've ever seen.

Vincent posted:

edit: The Bill & Ted comics by Evan Dorkin are also p. good. Dope, even.
It really is a shame it got canned after 12 issues (13, technically, with the Bogus Journey adaptation, but still). It took me a while to find every issue, but it was so worth it. Oddly, Evan Dorkin claims he hadn't seen either movie when he made those comics, which baffles the gently caress out of me.

Mumblecore does not need to have any further effects on mainstream cinema. Mumblecore is boring and terrible like 90% of the time. A little is okay, it's not something we need in bulk.

And if you have seen The One I Love yet, what are you waiting for? It's available VOD if it's not playing near you.

It was on Netflix Instant for a while. Hulu has it now, but only on the website.

I'm a huge Bill & Ted-head, but I thought it sucked. I was pretty sad about it, too, since Keanu Reeves, Alex Winter, and even George Carlin all reprise their roles in the first season. (In the second season, they get replaced by the cast of the even worse short-lived live action series.) But none of the humor carried over and the historical parts consisted only of ethnic stereotypes. The animation had its moments, though. The animators would occasionally try to replicate contemporaneous artistic techniques, so the backgrounds often came out more heterogeneous than you'd expect. The cartoonist in me liked some of the character designs, even though the actual motion doesn't rise above your average early 90s DiC fare.

EDIT: Now that you put the bug in my ear, is there a non-:files: way to watch the Back to the Future cartoon? I only saw bits & pieces as a kid and I always wanted to see more of it.
