Watched Airplane vs Volcano. Giving The Asylum a fair shake and... eh, maybe didn't need to. Setup is fun - "what if a airplane was trying to fly through hell", and it's downright charming that the plane just can't seem to escape volcanic eruptions and debris.

Fun scene where a guy has to fix something on the exterior of the plane and is dangled outside via tied up seatbelts.



He succeeds in fixing the plane, but a stray fireball knocks him into the plane engine. It's a shame, this plays like a middle schooler's first Flash movie. Cast and crew are willing to play ball, but it just doesn't have any heart. Of course this guy succeeds but is killed. It's like an echo of better disaster flicks, made by people who just don't get how to instill any heart in the story.

Flight to Hell by Alvaro Passeri is a much better bad plane movie.

There's enough of a leadup to it that you can watch to that point and when the drunkards get in a car to go kill kangaroo's, skip to the next scene. It's roughly: 1.08.00 thru 1.12.00 and then again 1.14.00 thru 1.22.00.

Old Timey Hotel is SO good that it eclipses almost all of the rest of his work, which I really love.

And what's wrong with French Dispatch?

For me it's just the lost potential of it. Love, love the prison artist segment. The Owen Wilson opener is cute. The others are ok but don't hit any sweet spots.

Which is a shame, because the framing – an anthology love letter to the turn of the century foreign correspondents is fantastic. So much potential there! The framing narrative of them publishing one last issue after their intrepid Editor in Chief recently died is beautiful too. But there's nothing to latch on there.

It's like if The Life Aquatic only showed you segments of them out to sea without any of the time spent introducing Steve Zissou and his crew. Or if the Grand Budapest Hotel was a 15 minute short. Or if the Royal Tennebaum's weren't all related and told as separate, distinct stories. The thru line is so absent it may as well have not been there.

It all comes off like someone who knows they can make Grand Budapest Hotel, but is striving to deliver something more challenging and unique. I respect it, but I don't find the products as satisfying a watch. Biggest realization to me was watching Asteroid City where, in the movie's climax every McGuffin setup before that point goes off in a 20 second wide shot before the movie gets to it's real climax, a conversation between the protagonist and Margot Robbie. Enjoyed the way it ended ok... but I was actually invested in some of those plot lines. Felt cheapened that they were ultimately so frivolous and discarded.

They're still fun to see, as it feels very bold and unique. But I'd have really liked a movie that was actually about The French Dispatch.

Saw The Brutalist. What an enthralling flick! Absolute accomplishment to make something that long that doesn't really drag and stays smart for almost the whole thing. Puzzled at the ending, for all the delicate work leading up to it, felt a little clumsy.

The rich guy disappearing into his vanity mausoleum just felt a little goofy. The lady spelling out exactly what he built was ok – tho I think I like the concept of it more than the execution.

Love that his community center would 100% be hated by most of the town population, going off the Brutalist architecture I grew up around. "We want windows lower than the 20ft ceiling."

Also love loved the intermission. More movies should have intermissions.

Painful.

I'm still so, so happy for the gift that was Twin Peaks season 3. 18 hours of his work, seemingly allowed to be whatever it wanted to be, & one of the most beautiful put-to-screen works about the passage of time.

Work that gets way to off-handidly written off as "weird" when it's really painfully empathetic and human.

Only grace is the amount of work he left behind far extends past the movies. Lost tv shows canceled after one season, commercials, and personal projects are out there, & I imagine will see wider recognition. The guy never stopped working.

Watching some foreign action flicks relative to cooking in my continuing quest to find a kung-fu movie that has combat cooking. Chinese Feast, Extreme Job, and Love on Delivery.

Starting in about an hour in the Discord.

CatstropheWaitress
Nov 26, 2017


All these rocked, would recommend all of them.

Extreme Job is a South Korean flick that sees a flailing narcotics division take over a fried chicken restaurant in an effort to catch some drug dealers setup across the street. Borderline shaggy dog film - but when the punchline comes in the final act, it's a bullseye. Kinda waffles on whether it wants to take itself seriously or not, to mixed success, but has enough heart that it works. The members of the squad all have a similar deadpan lockstep that never gets old - and they do have enough character that you're rooting for them throughout.

Apparently it also beat out Avengers Endgame and Parasite in the Korean box office, so good on them.

The Chinese Feast and Love on Delivery are both Chinese comedies from '95 and '94 respectively and they both rule. Both have convoluted plots, but Chinese Feast is the more grounded of the two. Bad guy wants to take over restaurant, youngsters want to save it and need to recruit a team that can cook the better an imperial feast to save it. Not breaking any new ground, but it's a whole lot of fun.

The red haired woman on the cover is a manic pixie dream girl, but with a heavy, heavy emphasis on the manic part of it. One scene just consists of her yelling at airplanes. Sounds annoying, but the actress makes it work and the movie is saccharine enough that her energy is a kind of welcome counterforce.

Movie doesn't feature people fighting while cooking, but there are some wonderfully over-the-top shot cooking scenes sprinkled throughout. The final meal is also truly exotic.

Love on Delivery is a film starring Stephen Chow, and while he didn't write/direct it, if you like his other work, check this out. Honestly, check it out anyway. The plot is nonsense, but the jokes are great throughout and the energy is really similar to Weird Al's UHF in parts. The final boss fight is perfect.

I was not prepared for how much Garfield was in this. Seek it out. Great watch.

Watched Desperate Living.

Likely due to the amount of Lynch I binged last week, but I really honed in that I love Waters for a similar reason: it's so aggressively and obviously a unique taste and voice on screen that you can't help but appreciate it – even when that's utter nonsense or the crudest poo poo put to film. A story that will stick with me? Nah. But engrossing and so incredibly silly.

Some weird poo poo in this from a woman getting her face smashed into dog food, to a sex change farce, to so. many. wangs. But it's also so childish it defangs what you're seeing. Also seems like people are just having a hoot on the set, which is also childish and stupid in the best way.

Ahead of the curve that wangs are funny. So many wangs. Meat wangs.

Bless John Waters and thank god he wasn't born in California or New York.

Watched Sick: The Life and Death of Bob Flanagan, Supermasochist. Wow wow wow wow.

It's impossible to recommend - you see Bob nail his dick into a piece of wood. But that scene is preceded by his parents musing on why he's a masochist - the father theorizing it's because he's sticking his finger to a god that gave him a broken body. That he's proving how strong he is by proving what he can endure, and that he's proud of him.

Bob Flanagan was born with cystic fibrosis and managed to outlive his prognosis by quite a bit. The documentary is intercut with his performances, from an S&M club to playing a song around a campfire. He's wonderfully charismatic, witty and sardonic as he talks about his death sentence.

Much of the movie is also his performances which are S&M bits you would expect them to cut away from. Nope! You will see his dick. So much of it. And terrible things done to it. ...yet they're done with obvious love by his partner, Sheree. Their love for each other is obvious and really beautiful, even while she's doing vile things to him (with consent!). Ending is profound and much more explicit than documentaries usually go. He does not make it.

Again, I can't recommend this, the S&M stuff is brutal, even while they're being downright comical about it. But it's a tremendously beautiful, sad, stomach-turning, and truly candid documentation of a wonderful weirdo.

Will say the trailer on AppleTV(??) has a nice clip from the movie that conveys the guy's charm w/o any of the S&M stuff.

It's nice in an age of Trans panic to have a reminder that people that live vastly different lives than yours have always existed. Having a hard time thinking of a movie that's has filled me with as much equal parts joy and revulsion as this.

Saw Mickey 17.

Before the flick, they played four trailers and it really stuck out that three of them were Mafia/crime movies, and the last was Sinners, seemingly a Southern movie about some white people trying to raid black musicians who sell their soul to the devil for protection and maybe there's zombies. Later looks interesting, but man all four trailers were just GUNS and ACTORS POINTING GUNS AT THE CAMERA while LOOKING TOUGH. Just felt really monotonous and besides the last one so, so incredibly tired.

Which made me love Mickey all the more. Man the first half loving rocks. It's so flavorful, and a very well realized little world. There was maybe more humor than expected, but even that was well timed and pretty on point.

...then something happens in the final act that just... dangit. There reaches a certain point where I just fell completely out of the movie – where the momentum comes to a screeching halt and I just felt like I was watching actors yelling at each other in a room. The finale feels weirdly dumb for what had been a pretty charming lead up to it. And the nightmare freak out is loving bizarre.

Still enjoyed the watch enough, but went from a love to a like and that's a shame.

There's a pretty clear 4th-wall-breaking moment where a character yells at the Donald Trump character "YOU'RE A loving IDIOT", which is clearly cathartic, but is then followed up with "THAT'S WHY YOU LOST THE ELECTION" and... oof.

Calling it now, Robert Patterson is going to be the Nic Cage for the next generation. Everyone's pretty decent in this, but he's a delight. Quickly becoming an actor I'll watch a movie for, and someone that really throws himself at these roles with a frantic Cage energy.

I did overall like it! Something about everything following the failed assassination plot just kind of lost me. There was so much business to move characters around (we need everyone on the brig, now we need the Mickey's on their own, but now we need Ruffalo by himself and also outside....) that just felt less clever than the rest of it.

But I did love everything about the aliens and enjoyed it well enough.
I couldn't not see the seams, I guess. & after being so into the film beforehand it was a little disappointing I couldn't love the whole thing. -which is still a dang good movie.

quote:

Pattinson helped to revise part of the script to give what Bong described as "humor and knowledge of slang that I would have never come across otherwise." Pattinson also partially based his performance on Jim Carrey in Dumb and Dumber, citing similar comedic injuries. Bong maintained that he had final cut privilege, though there was a delay in the editing. To differentiate the two main Mickeys, Pattinson changed his accent for each character, comparing them to Ren and Stimpy from the show of the same name. In the initial script reading, he imitated the voices of Johnny Knoxville and Steve-O from Jackass. Bong told him not to do the Steve-O impression.

Been watching some Tubi lately.

The Wrong Door is a pretty fantastic Super-8 thriller from 1990. A college student majoring in "Radio Show Sound Effects" is passionate but keeps procrastinating on the final assignment. Instead of finishing it, he goes to a costume party dressed as a jester... but he knocks on the wrong door. When someone answers, he witnesses something awful and becomes perused.

It's no budget, there's a bit of running around in the woods, but the thriller side of this is punching so high above it's class. The chase is realistic, brutal, and clever. If you're into this kind of thing, worth a watch.

At some point I put all of Steve Little's movies on my watchlist, and I'm getting to them slowly but steadily. Guy is so endearingly weird in East Bound & Down, it's fun seeing him in other stuff even when he's typecast.

Watched Wine Club, a low budget comedy about a couple who stumbles upon a cult in a vineyard. The kind of movie Comedy Central would play in the off hours in the 2000's (Waiting..., Grandma’s Boy, etc.). Not enough jokes land, but there's enough commitment from everyone that it's still pretty ok. Genuinely fun twists, fantastic 9/11 joke. A very middling movie. Steve Little is fun, as a cult leader former child-star.

Once that finished, Tubi started to autoplay Love Wine and... holy poo poo. The estranged second cousin of a Hallmark movie. Wasn't going to watch it and wasn't paying attention until I caught what the main plot is:

Bridget Love has inherited Love Wine from her recently deceased Aunt and Uncle. She's signed the paperwork but OH NO! it turns out the secret ingredient of the wine is that the winemaker has sex in the wine vats. Bridget is now contractually obligated to find love in 10 days so she can bone in the wine vat and save the winery.

What follows is pretty standard Hallmark stuff, but littered dozens of men flocking to her to vie for her hand. A horny, well-meaning zombie-like invasion of dad bods. Her family puts out news ads, and invites the local news who schedule a tour of men to visit - each of who will kiss her in order to find the one love that works.

As someone who enjoys the ridiculousness of Hallmark flicks, this is the ideal. Actors are good to ok, which only adds to the charm.

The movie ends with her in a vat of grapes with her love remarking about how they're gonna gently caress on grapes all weekend long. No notes.

I was always confused by Mr. Brightside's popularity, doubly so in recent years where it seems to have become the vaulted as the song of 2000's rock. Killers always struck me as a worse version of better rock bands of that time (Fratelli's, Arctic Monkeys, Muse, etc.)

That post kind of blew my mind in that Death Race 2000 is a straight up classic. Like, well-known, cult-level b-movie flick.

It makes me feel like 'Tubi' has become, or at least definitely will become, a replacement for the 'b-movie' term. Personally had still be thinking of it as more of a movie graveyard, where all the stuff Netflix didn't want to pick up would go to rot. A garbage heap to find treasures in, along with the odd older blockbuster.



Death Race does rule tho. It's so wildly stylish and specific, weird and fun. Hope you're enjoying it! The sequels..... completely fail to find as much inspiration.

Maybe it's because Green Day was tearing it up with American Idiot, Fratelli's were writing some of the most delicious stadium rock licks of the decade, and Muse was riding cocaine into space but The Killers always felt so incredibly blasé and dull in comparison.

Yes. Confirmation bias, but it's a regular play in restaurants and cafes where I am. & I think the last five karaoke nights I've gone to or just been in proximity to have had crowds jamming out to Brightside. In the past couple years in particular it seems like a big go-to song for the 2000's.

Ah. I've got letterboxd for the later.

The Robbie Williams thing is just funny because 1) making a biopic about yourself but portraying yourself as a monkey the whole time is some grade A basic poo poo. Taking the metaphor of being a performing monkey to the extreme, so much so that it probably works. It's so on the nose it's stupid, but it sounds like they committed to it hard and you can't help but salute that.

2) He's not really known in the States, so it's funny the movie got a wide release over here. I don't think it's purely American's judging non-American things, it would also be funny for an Aaron Rogers biopic to be showing in Taiwan.

& 3) sounds like he's known to be an unrepentant rear end in a top hat. I'm sure there's a way to make a film about yourself apologizing for past mistakes, but from what I've heard this ain't that. That the big finale is him singing My Way is so trite it also wraps around to being downright charming.

The first episode of Sherlock when it came out felt pretty incredible. Felt like modern Sherlock done right, an homage to an original mystery with some genuinely good, new "deductions" in it. Cumberbatch and Tim from the Office were pitch perfect casting. There was some genuine cleverness in the show, which is what a Sherlock story really, really needs.

Then it went fully up it's own rear end very quickly while also getting dumb. as. hell. It's a masterclass of pissing off your audience by mocking giving them impossible-to-solve mysteries while simultaneously tut-tutting them for being invested.

I only remember Moriarty being a gay panic villain

I remember some speculation that Andrew Scott was behaving so over-the-top in his first appearance to throw off any "tells" on who he actually was. Given where they take him though, yeeeeeah. Sucks because Andrew Scott is a fun actor, and probably has mixed feelings about it looking back.

Sherlock in general was a kind of a-ha moment for me though. We already have a *perfect* adaption of the stories – the Jeremey Brett series. If you ever want to see something that respects the source and portrays it to-a-T, that version exists. Because of that, hard to get too annoyed at any additional adaptions. I extend this to adaptations of most works - here's looking at you Netflix's doomed Cowboy Bebop.

Robert Downey Jr. wants to play a hot action Sherlock that fights? Sure whatever. BBC wants to make a homophobic Sherlock everyone wants to screw? Weird, shame on you, but whatever. Original works are still there, and they're still incredible.
