Took me a minute to realize you weren’t talking about that Freaks. I was thinking, yeah not a chance in hell that gets a sequel…been 90 years anyway. Then I saw the run time again new that wasn’t the same film.

Sounds like I need to watch 1932's Freaks though.

 
Jurassic world/whatever was awful.  3/10

Oh, this is rental... Either way... Save yourself the money/time and don't watch it.

It is NOT worth a rental. The only reason to see it at all is in the theater for the sound and special effects. If you last 30 minutes without :yawn: at home I'd be amazed.

 
I came across this and really had nobody to share it with that would appreciate it, so I'm leaving it here. This is the entire review, and it's a doozy of one all packed into less than three hundred words. Edgar Wright was the creative force behind Baby Driver, for those confused.

Donald Hughes’s review published on Letterboxd:

I think most guys (it's guys) who start film school come there with one strong idea in mind: I'm gonna make a movie with scenes that ludicrously synch up to the soundtrack, which are going to be songs I don't have the budget for, and I'm gonna make it full of callbacks and ironically-deployed action cliches. Then some 75 year old professor named Bertrand Francois or something tells them that those ideas are stupid, and that they should make films about how sadness is a pit you can never dig out of. I assume Edgar Wright didn't go to film school.

Did not get the love for everything everywhere all at once. Kind of a sweet ending but the movie was just kind of dumb, just a real mess. Why do people like this so much?
 

Amazing actors though, especially the husband and wife duo.

The latest watch that I've been chewing on is After Yang.   2022 film by the director of Columbus.    There were some absolutely brilliant ideas and scenes in here, starting with what might be one of the best opening sequences/credits that I've seen in a long time.   A movie that it reminded me of a bit, not in themes, but tone was Lost in Translation.   Even more than that one, after those opening credits, it's the same tone and mood for the whole 90mins, and I can see if somebody in not down for that particular thing, they will not like this one much.   I really liked it, and am still thinking about it, but I think I would need another watch to fully digest how much I liked it.    This one is on Fubo or Showtime. 

I also watched Beverly Hills Cop, and that's one 80s flick that IMO absolutely still holds up.  Love it.

I liked it, didn’t love it.  It’s certainly different and entertaining, but I thought it was a little over the top.

 
HFS - when the topics of remakes that we actually want to see comes up, usually one of my go-to is The Running Man.  IMO a great premise that could do with a new slant, especially how popular reality shows and dumb game shows did become, and some actually decent f/x.   Just was looking at his imdb page, and this is what Edgar Wright is directing next.      :bow:

I thought the same.  I had been really looking forward to seeing it based on all of the positive reviews and you summed up my thoughts as well..

I was so excited to see it and then 15 minutes in heard the word ‘multiverse’ and loudly blurted out WHAT THE ####? I am so tired of multiverse, what an incredibly lazy storytelling device.

That is like seeing Star Wars and complaining about it being set in space. This is the multi-verse movie to end all multi-verse movies. I am not sure what to say if you didn't find it at the very least funny. It is at worst a Something About Mary level like comedy,

the first movie that truly scared the hell out of me...I think I was 10.

 
over/under - established movie franchises that get a multiverse. 4.5?

ETA: Paddington, y/n, -130/+110

Watched Tenet on a flight today. I had never seen it, and decided to give it a whirl as one of the free in-flight options.

Maybe/probably never a good time to watch it (as had no idea what was going on at least half the time), but decided a particularly bad time is when you have been up since before 4am for a 6am flight.

Funny, because there are two ways to interpret that. I assume this is a slam, and yet "how sadness is a pit you can never dig out of" is kind of a slam as well.

After Yang was lovely, for sure. Some comments: 1) This might have been better as an hour long Black Mirror. Felt a bit thin at that length. 2) While the acting is good, this film suffers from Mamet-syndrome. Every character adapts this sullen, monotonous speech that just feels kind of fake to me. 

Beverly Hills Cop is a lot of fun. If you watch the sequel, you'll see they used the same mansion as the one from Schwarzenegger's Commando.

Rewatched this at our local cult theater as a double feature with Blade Runner. Although Running Man is awful, it succeeds in a way that only 80s movies can, with all the silliness and excess exhibited by the decade. The startling revelation of watching those two films side by side is they came out not far apart, and yet Blade Runner looks so much better it might as well have been made 20 years later.
