A remarkable achievement, I know! But that's not what this is about, nor is it about celebrating some milestone that's divisible by 5.

But doing that math now raises the notable point that, at the time of this photo, there hadn't been any new theatrical movies in nearly six years and yet the Force was still strong in not just me but the culture; you could still go to Kmart or Woolworth's or wherever and get a Vader helmet cake pan as though it were just a normal baking accessory.

But I was aware of it (as my GTFO face suggests) - I'd played one before and understood its addictive colors and sounds and it stayed with me, though I never believed I'd have a System in my living room that I could play whenever the TV was allotted to me. And for the entirety of the following day, it was: I woke up and began playing <i>Super Mario Bros.</i> in my pajamas, and continued to do so until it was time for bed. I never got dressed and I had food brought to me, and most of that day was spent trying to conquer World 1-1. But there it was - I would be able to cross the finish line of the 80s on the right side of history; I was Charlie Bucket no longer, deprived of this millennial birthright, and the central thread of <i>The Wizard</i> would eventually have a more relatable context.

And they managed to do a tiny bit of both; the smell of Dr. Pepper upon opening the package was an achievement unto itself, and the gritty texture of these maroon chicks stood in for carbonation.

Gross novelty jelly beans have been around a lot longer than they really needed to be - like, we get it, very cute haha. Apparently some folks eat them unironically and make it their personality, as I'm sure that's the case with these, but I won't be having that. Though even from an objective approach I gotta say these don't work: while they come in a mercifully small 4 oz. bag, the immediacy of "try one for fun" is over and then that's it: you're left with a bag of shit. And it really is shit; the strong scent of pickles immediately escapes an opened bag, but even if that's what your sick palette is into, it doesn't match the flavor of what can be best described as sweetened dill - not like sweet, like bread & butter pickles, but like sour pickles with added sugar. I hate sour, and hell, I'd prefer these were sour, just for continuity sake. I assume these were meant to symbolize Christ's agony on the cross. </div><div><br /></div>P and Jhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09005196267067819080noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8604091241068134322.post-91847550734993740912024-03-09T07:40:00.000-08:002024-03-09T07:40:03.223-08:00NO PARTICULAR ORDER : Quentin Movie Songs<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhoIlGTw3b6AYPWULak1xTYo2En9wDMZ5fRUBNdrrd2zP4tXYiR-0ifkTklZVHeILtjwvMozD5R5QUlEGAoZ5eIl8xvGZZe5KoQ4MNiFPrJSU690KkWuevH8KO1hpedgcF1ybqQyRZp25HVjJhUkU0kqR4J4nlcywC53hwwy4M3t0EHatjX1iQb0TKD-0Ht/s1451/Quentin%202.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="816" data-original-width="1451" height="360" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhoIlGTw3b6AYPWULak1xTYo2En9wDMZ5fRUBNdrrd2zP4tXYiR-0ifkTklZVHeILtjwvMozD5R5QUlEGAoZ5eIl8xvGZZe5KoQ4MNiFPrJSU690KkWuevH8KO1hpedgcF1ybqQyRZp25HVjJhUkU0kqR4J4nlcywC53hwwy4M3t0EHatjX1iQb0TKD-0Ht/w640-h360/Quentin%202.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div><br /></div><b><u><span style="font-family: times; font-size: medium;">PAUL</span></u></b><div><span style="font-family: courier; font-size: large;">"Stagolee" Pacific Gas & Electric - <i>Death Proof</i></span></div><div><span style="font-family: courier; font-size: large;">"MalagueƱa salerosa" Chingon - <i>Kill Bill vol.2</i></span></div><div><span style="font-family: courier; font-size: large;">"Freedom" Anthony Hamilton and Elayna Boynton - <i>Django Unchained</i></span></div><div><span style="font-family: courier; font-size: large;">"Surf Rider" The Lively Ones - <i>Pulp Fiction</i></span></div><div><span style="font-family: courier; font-size: large;">"Across 100th Street" Bobby Womack - <i>Jackie Brown</i></span></div><div><span style="font-family: courier; font-size: large;">"The Lonely Shepherd" James Last & Gheorghe Zamfir - <i>Kill Bill vol.1</i></span></div><div><span style="font-family: courier; font-size: large;">"I Got a Name" Jim Croce - <i>Django Unchained</i></span></div><div><span style="font-family: courier; font-size: large;">"Now You're All Alone" David Hess - <i>The Hateful 8</i></span></div><div><span style="font-family: courier; font-size: large;">"Baby It's You" Smith - <i>Death Proof</i></span></div><div><span style="font-family: courier; font-size: large;">"Miserlou" Dick Dale & His Del-Tones - <i>Pulp Fiction</i></span></div><div><br /></div><div><b><u><span style="font-family: times; font-size: medium;">BABES</span></u></b></div><div><span style="font-family: courier; font-size: large;">"Hold Tight" Dave, Dee, Dozy, Beaky, Mick & Tich - <i>Death Proof</i></span></div><div><span style="font-family: courier; font-size: large;">"Cat People (Putting Out the Fire)" David Bowie - <i>Inglourious Basterds</i></span></div><div><span style="font-family: courier; font-size: large;">"A Silhouette of Doom" Ennio Morricone - <i>Kill Bill vol.2</i></span></div><div><span style="font-family: courier; font-size: large;">"Girl, You'll Be a Woman Soon" Urge Overkill - <i>Pulp Fiction</i></span></div><div><span style="font-family: courier; font-size: large;">"Strawberry Letter #23" The Brothers Johnson - <i>Jackie Brown</i></span></div><div><span style="font-family: courier; font-size: large;">"About Her" Malcolm McLaren - <i>Kill Bill vol.2</i></span></div><div><span style="font-family: courier; font-size: large;">"Django" Rocky Roberts & Luis Bacalov - <i>Django Unchained</i></span></div><div><span style="font-family: courier; font-size: large;">"California Dreamin'" Jose Feliciano - <i>Once Upon a Time...

The once and forever Queen. The Matriarchy. And what of the boys? What masculine piece of plastic wears that crown? Easy answer is G.I. Joe, but with only two prominent peaks in its popularity (with one Vietnam War in between) it felt outdated by the 90s, and by that time the adult fashion & makeup fascination of Barbie had regressed deeper into rainbows and sparkles and maternal schmaltz. So on the manly side of that coin, boy toys had to get tougher, meaner, more confrontational; the mud and the blood and the root beer. Fake guns and other weaponry had been all but banned by the end of the 1980s so we had to get our violence by some other means, and toymakers managed to turn every animal, vegetable, and mineral into trained warriors and reckless maniacs. Me, I just liked collecting palm-sized pieces of art and these punk rock sculptures fit the bill in a way that is unmatched, before or since. From <i>Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles</i> to <i><a href="http://bennettmedia.blogspot.com/2019/08/toys-are-us-savage-mondo-blitzers.html" target="_blank">Savage Mondo Blitzers</a></i>, the tone was widespread and the toy lines were countless.

When I was very little I adored the Fisher Price plastic food assortment (particularly <a href="http://bennettmedia.blogspot.com/2019/05/my-favorite-childhood-toys.html" target="_blank">the fried egg</a>); had it been socially acceptable I would've displayed them like trophies into my teen years. Fortunately you give 'em a gun and a grimace and <i>presto</i>: testosterone unlocked. These were some of the truest works of art from my generation - there were ten figures depicting the likes of a stack of pancakes, a hot dog, a chocolate chip cookie and every other mainstream junk food and they had names like Private Pizza and Taco Terror and they were sculpted and painted with delicious precision. </div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><b><i><span style="font-size: large;">Army Ants</span></i></b></div><div><b>Hasbro, 1987</b></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhMyrakLIRS3BbZHokBYSRPRTcOH6wk0yve0-3zNJViOHe5YzgkQQw8BWv-Skti6ttPUvPyfDbWglIU9cJVcA8QQj-jD6PL8hK0PbMFHbiVO3FZmwscNahbMBpxuMqHBxxKS6RXIvb2Elh9g-cBfatzA6shgc65jD-7Mk_XmbPTlL3xClP8RUr3ZpQOpSnR/s1650/army%20ants.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1650" data-original-width="1275" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhMyrakLIRS3BbZHokBYSRPRTcOH6wk0yve0-3zNJViOHe5YzgkQQw8BWv-Skti6ttPUvPyfDbWglIU9cJVcA8QQj-jD6PL8hK0PbMFHbiVO3FZmwscNahbMBpxuMqHBxxKS6RXIvb2Elh9g-cBfatzA6shgc65jD-7Mk_XmbPTlL3xClP8RUr3ZpQOpSnR/w494-h640/army%20ants.jpg" width="494" /></a></div><div><br /></div><div>These were so small that it took a keen eye to appreciate them, but that was part of their charm. There were two sets (or squadrons) of colors: a rich royal blue and a neon orange and both were eye-catching, but each had its own pose and weapon and facial features (which always resembled "The Puckmaren" from <i>Flight of The Navigator</i>) that were just distinctive enough to give credence to the collecting side of them. And again, they were without moving parts, so they could be trusted to stay in formation. </div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><b><i><span style="font-size: large;">Barnyard Commandos</span></i></b></div><div><b>Playmates, 1989</b></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj_x5lS6ZsjnSya1LV5f1xkJjZt_6_t-WsRFjHvgckw8wwCQ3IwVtg0MvKJRKlyN35IIMNyGHKCOoH2NxMOBoKkyGQeZlhfUBdEm4-FCF5eYGcGYqidNJAc3lGSW9UnAPy_cNTrr2ooO7AU_em2NAq50YeUNQ5Rbcr9sgHUsKC9VzM-wCsQMvsw8So6GndB/s1650/barnyard%20commandos.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1650" data-original-width="1275" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj_x5lS6ZsjnSya1LV5f1xkJjZt_6_t-WsRFjHvgckw8wwCQ3IwVtg0MvKJRKlyN35IIMNyGHKCOoH2NxMOBoKkyGQeZlhfUBdEm4-FCF5eYGcGYqidNJAc3lGSW9UnAPy_cNTrr2ooO7AU_em2NAq50YeUNQ5Rbcr9sgHUsKC9VzM-wCsQMvsw8So6GndB/w494-h640/barnyard%20commandos.jpg" width="494" /></a></div><div><br /></div><div>Playmates Toys was in the business of angry animals; right alongside <i>Ninja Turtles</i> they released this line of Swine vs. Sheep as some kinda mutant militia. Even more like The Turtles they gave these toys their own cartoon, as well as a whole set from the Burger King Kids Club - they pushed these on us hard but were otherwise too bland to catch on; the colors weren't particularly vibrant but they also lacked the immediately identifiable personality of The Turtles. Still they looked nice. </div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><b><i><span style="font-size: large;">The Original Battle Trolls</span></i></b></div><div><b>Hasbro, 1992</b></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgh_TY3xNSNRnqIU3AVRXq-7y7rGw4ZgUbHlP62vnhXxMHCoKNaGak4a4bb0JCpZgXtv67ocSeHJnnso_rJKXvAlSur_95RRkLrzL3ewCUit8HHKZ5PbE1pHZrMnwda4Lx3_jJ-iOAAVYLafFWbPqiUWUcI7jzq6X60xwPRsu-1ZRHlhOQV6BbxzkZ2eLUL/s1650/battle%20trolls.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1650" data-original-width="1275" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgh_TY3xNSNRnqIU3AVRXq-7y7rGw4ZgUbHlP62vnhXxMHCoKNaGak4a4bb0JCpZgXtv67ocSeHJnnso_rJKXvAlSur_95RRkLrzL3ewCUit8HHKZ5PbE1pHZrMnwda4Lx3_jJ-iOAAVYLafFWbPqiUWUcI7jzq6X60xwPRsu-1ZRHlhOQV6BbxzkZ2eLUL/w494-h640/battle%20trolls.jpg" width="494" /></a></div><div><br /></div><div>Nothing subtle going on here; just some cute plastic dolls from the Peace & Love Generation repurposed into monsters and madmen. I don't know if regular trolls were meant to be aimed at girls, but they definitely put these out there for anyone who wanted to play with naked woodland beings with rainbow hair but felt insecure or uncomfortable. No longer was that an issue: there were dozens of these in the guise of ninjas, pirates, vampires, werewolves, and even some <i>Terminator</i> and <i>Mad Max</i> homages. Their clothes weren't removable but they clearly had big meaty male genitals. </div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><b><i><span style="font-size: large;">Wild West C.O.W.-Boys of Moo Mesa</span></i></b></div><div><b>Hasbro, 1992</b></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjjmR-YFVarCdqr-pnK1szMc5IEJA1pii_yDnrLt4Qial0aIUy88V2c5zuoTDOTVOeIV7ugKY4AgMWi0CxjJbTlvqOdRTZOXZni9T9TXCv_otc_zeaQD-PRoCS7DwAIas_rsPLaoDaVHNlhFj1Ah0t2YLTKWSfAN1C7HgF0myqaA9UGq_tK_NHT66a3rKzL/s1650/moo%20mesa.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1650" data-original-width="1275" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjjmR-YFVarCdqr-pnK1szMc5IEJA1pii_yDnrLt4Qial0aIUy88V2c5zuoTDOTVOeIV7ugKY4AgMWi0CxjJbTlvqOdRTZOXZni9T9TXCv_otc_zeaQD-PRoCS7DwAIas_rsPLaoDaVHNlhFj1Ah0t2YLTKWSfAN1C7HgF0myqaA9UGq_tK_NHT66a3rKzL/w494-h640/moo%20mesa.jpg" width="494" /></a></div><div><br /></div><div>To the best of my knowledge the TV show came first, but I'm sure it was greenlit to sell shit. Yet another <i>TMNT</i> knockoff that prevailed and failed in the blink of an eye - so much so that even though the figures were manufactured by Hasbro, they plainly lifted the size and shape from the Playmates <i>Turtles</i> line. That way, I suppose all your figures could interact in a more believable way. Whatever corpse of a CEO gave the go-ahead on these wasn't aware that it was the 1990s and cowboys were out - ninjas were in. But still, the figures looked like <i>Ninja Turtles</i> toys at their craziest. </div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><b><i><span style="font-size: large;">Attack Pack</span></i></b></div><div><b>Hot Wheels, 1992</b></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh7DLCrrdImWfu0uH0J6rZe7NYjGCoxqjkcIJrUCCt8bBFquyQCIFt6sizO78GbIVo3tPN4eHiVRpxBIWQIoaAVyhELArBR_qSP_0f8jt8IkmKi_SeBIZRPIv9vhbVEZ0xru0g-P-YY0-qopbojhOGS9o9rmo8d2m9tdWItV7V8a3QrAXJsZK7hRzqSbbLq/s1650/attack%20pack.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1650" data-original-width="1275" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh7DLCrrdImWfu0uH0J6rZe7NYjGCoxqjkcIJrUCCt8bBFquyQCIFt6sizO78GbIVo3tPN4eHiVRpxBIWQIoaAVyhELArBR_qSP_0f8jt8IkmKi_SeBIZRPIv9vhbVEZ0xru0g-P-YY0-qopbojhOGS9o9rmo8d2m9tdWItV7V8a3QrAXJsZK7hRzqSbbLq/w494-h640/attack%20pack.jpg" width="494" /></a></div><div><br /></div><div>Here's an example of pushing it to the limit: Monster Trucks, but like actual <i>Monster Trucks</i>. These were cars (y'know, for boys) with jaws and teeth on the front end that could give any Transformer a run for its gas money and get the Josh Baskin seal of approval. It was so gender specific that it was available as a Happy Meal <i>option</i> up against none other than Barbie herself. Gender politics aside, this is a toy that would make one helluva film adaptation. </div><div><br /></div>P and Jhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09005196267067819080noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8604091241068134322.post-9508385015641316422024-03-01T12:37:00.000-08:002024-03-01T12:37:45.590-08:00STATIC SHOTS<div>What do these five movies have in common?</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

I'll agree that it was one of the most exciting and original artistic endeavors of the decade, but get real; culture is very big on labels right now so let's keep things in their place. However, if I were to consider Television, Music, Literature, and other forms of media as "Film" then I'd nominate Season One of <i>True Detective</i> as just one of the best anythings of this <i>century</i>. <div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjyIDr4Yj3yQj2LuxrooKoDMoN78BdLkShwiBRATKhTjykfgdHVpYruBslxVB4TwJW6bEJgiP60EjWgvJrTxDkhJWzWHiY_5DmZ4X1PEpEdxNrg280H4Y9HRLVAfzeCjHXC6h0nYVNkAhV7Xx05VjaudIHhS7jD_GE994OMMKRXHighwJNt6oYAT3JhfMmf/s1920/wp1853779.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1070" data-original-width="1920" height="356" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjyIDr4Yj3yQj2LuxrooKoDMoN78BdLkShwiBRATKhTjykfgdHVpYruBslxVB4TwJW6bEJgiP60EjWgvJrTxDkhJWzWHiY_5DmZ4X1PEpEdxNrg280H4Y9HRLVAfzeCjHXC6h0nYVNkAhV7Xx05VjaudIHhS7jD_GE994OMMKRXHighwJNt6oYAT3JhfMmf/w640-h356/wp1853779.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div><br /></div><div>I know it was popular - so much so that I think a lot of people actually felt as strongly about it as I, which made it even more exciting. And while I could certainly do my own deep dive analysis on all of its strengths (and weaknesses) I think the very superficial characteristic that captured everyone's imagination was its <i>mood</i>; it had a persistent story with quotable lines and big ideas and great performances and a lot of its themes were derivative of commercially-proven fiction, but at the end of the day and the show it had a unique and identifiable atmosphere that felt as fresh as it did spooky. And I would argue that, while Seasons 2 and 3 wouldn't manage to carry over some or most of these winning attributes, heavy shades of that atmosphere remained prevalent. So what do you think my understandably predictable approach to Season 4 would be? </div><div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj3ZaDjU2l4M3ANL6ZjnBqgImfnOS1Gw1QPPZZ6I5v3hqT5kZ29BrQYyfeaa0U2N0t6Pxu7zTJxdyifgFpEPVH19NDKlmge9gvdPbQ-RzYWiHWQdY6yooQTcU4yGSRmx9yBWnsfFm-4V56wVYF8CrMPLZQ2qG0qM5KIHtspbvH1JMZDYtWA5epVLtAQVZg3/s1275/4%20seasons.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1272" data-original-width="1275" height="638" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj3ZaDjU2l4M3ANL6ZjnBqgImfnOS1Gw1QPPZZ6I5v3hqT5kZ29BrQYyfeaa0U2N0t6Pxu7zTJxdyifgFpEPVH19NDKlmge9gvdPbQ-RzYWiHWQdY6yooQTcU4yGSRmx9yBWnsfFm-4V56wVYF8CrMPLZQ2qG0qM5KIHtspbvH1JMZDYtWA5epVLtAQVZg3/w640-h638/4%20seasons.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div><br /></div><div>How does one even recognize something as abstract as "mood" - especially one that feels specific to something: pacing, music, setting, subject matter, cinematography, and all the other intangible things that you can technically put on paper but the actual execution requires talent and vision. So basically you can't explain it - you watch the show, you understand. Besides it's better to not cheapen such things with clinical <i>understanding</i>. So I can say with my own level of perception and certainty that <i>True Detective: Night Country</i> wasn't able to appropriate the same flavor as its namesake. Though not for lack of trying - and therein lies a big clue to its clumsiness: that name brand "True Detective" is a legitimate afterthought and was nothing but a Trojan Horse for this entire <i>standalone series</i>. </div><div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj4Xj0CdN3WR8a9859y-F7XF5vR-sCFF2R7oa9wEbKfS2lwn_WGoUNHM-vSQHeaCHPYDKpau0dY4bs82IFsS610W79q5RgeLlWS_2ss3XkrYRRI_lFWatXwMdus75ro82wm8KXW2_7IJn9jWtHmRIYWNxuf2GExjaQvgyhSXGC-ilZt0rRsgGzF9G4ru5p_/s1362/Screen%20Shot%202024-02-18%20at%206.39.16%20PM.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="763" data-original-width="1362" height="358" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj4Xj0CdN3WR8a9859y-F7XF5vR-sCFF2R7oa9wEbKfS2lwn_WGoUNHM-vSQHeaCHPYDKpau0dY4bs82IFsS610W79q5RgeLlWS_2ss3XkrYRRI_lFWatXwMdus75ro82wm8KXW2_7IJn9jWtHmRIYWNxuf2GExjaQvgyhSXGC-ilZt0rRsgGzF9G4ru5p_/w640-h358/Screen%20Shot%202024-02-18%20at%206.39.16%20PM.png" width="640" /></a></div><div><br /></div><div>A lot of people assert that you shouldn't compare -- and they apply that to everything artistic: this book vs. that book, The Beatles vs. The Stones, this season vs. other seasons. "Apples and oranges" they say. Even current show runner Issa LĆ³pez has damned anyone who dares to hold them up side by side and nitpick the differences. Rubbish. What else are we supposed to do with art (especially art we enjoy) except think about it and analyze it and play with it? This isn't a court of law, the gatekeepers and fanboys and even the artists have no power once it's ours.

An exciting honor as much as it is a death sentence, and puts me as a hypercritical viewer in a precarious position. It wasn't until I'd seen two whole episodes of <i>Night Country</i> did I become aware of the fact that I was being sold Pepsi in a Coke can, so I ended up having to shift my sight - but only a little bit. Put it this way: had it not been called <i>True Detective: blah blah</i> and not been sold as such and not had a "Based on the show by Nic Pizzolatto" credit and was released as its own original thing, I'd still compare it to <i>True Detective</i> because it's the Gold Standard in every aspect of what <i>Night Country</i> is trying to be. </div><div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjaiBPTFdTnv35C2MZe_D5ibKkS677Z0ApVQr-uoklNngzB6XLB9f4YvoDYgDGjxl3ty5nm5eVaftGnlYBMLaDX6qSEek-GTBnmO58t8aX7FxVDQ2WZ7HUHYZNFqCvdnDSsqZWiDMEFjU6542GmBA5Br-NSbaWoNZWhfECt68mbiJGm4pNySzbQyd98_MBN/s1566/240121-true-detective-tease_iw8vr6.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="881" data-original-width="1566" height="360" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjaiBPTFdTnv35C2MZe_D5ibKkS677Z0ApVQr-uoklNngzB6XLB9f4YvoDYgDGjxl3ty5nm5eVaftGnlYBMLaDX6qSEek-GTBnmO58t8aX7FxVDQ2WZ7HUHYZNFqCvdnDSsqZWiDMEFjU6542GmBA5Br-NSbaWoNZWhfECt68mbiJGm4pNySzbQyd98_MBN/w640-h360/240121-true-detective-tease_iw8vr6.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div><br /></div><div>First impression of First Episode: the differences were bold and broad. I liked the setting, I liked the crime, I liked the idea of a larger ensemble cast, and I especially liked the insinuation of a supernatural slant. I'd already sat through two seasons that weren't able to live up to the ghostly psychodrama that was the first so my expectations were whatever, but this was clearly a different animal. The inclusion of a pre-credit sequence was immediately jarring in a structural sense - it's like having a dialogue scene before the opening <i>STAR WARS</i> crawl. And then there's the credit sequence itself, which is a whole heap of trouble. </div><div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj8Zp-jgLb0qdmJxP9uIztvClB5dQiCNw-6TjztW0iH-zCKW-oSeiid1bpFv46-adP06ehvATqqyEZdevs-OXiVQEdOY6SuhjAE9D1sKvKSYa3DI3EbmmgBKcBUMMMpCEQllAxntjeSE_nDBWcXOdY157qM7YN2ysSshq2k4tE6wpt3YMH27jQSI_j29mCb/s1200/true_detective_night_country%202.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="675" data-original-width="1200" height="360" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj8Zp-jgLb0qdmJxP9uIztvClB5dQiCNw-6TjztW0iH-zCKW-oSeiid1bpFv46-adP06ehvATqqyEZdevs-OXiVQEdOY6SuhjAE9D1sKvKSYa3DI3EbmmgBKcBUMMMpCEQllAxntjeSE_nDBWcXOdY157qM7YN2ysSshq2k4tE6wpt3YMH27jQSI_j29mCb/w640-h360/true_detective_night_country%202.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div><br /></div><div>The now-iconic intros for the first three seasons were a collaborative invention between several different motion-graphic studios and Pizzolatto himself - memorably superimposing characters and imagery from the show over their respective geography and landscapes, complete with a theme song that felt indicative of its time and place. <i>Night Country</i>'s intro is a choppy CGI mess full of blink-and-you'll-miss-them "easter eggs" that looks like it was put together by a 16-year-old who just saw <i>Fight Club</i> for the first time. It's not that they don't get <i>True Detective</i>, they don't get mystery, foreshadowing, subtlety, ambience, aesthetic, <i>mood</i>, etc. One of the big anchors of this season is an intimate look at the IƱupiat community of Alaska, which could've lent itself to an incredibly rich and haunting theme song. Instead they use something by Billie Eilish which is so pedestrian it feels like product placement (of which there is actually a lot of in this season). </div><div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiN1TYYLVrNbjg6duiaTbzFRRBVC5FcUS3bxnJVgQH_Qv_J5o32g2hwCl3-NSMu-SYpdIxU3HbdZXNRq9T4-cvA026yCDcoOK2-5CPF5oyAtbuPl0Sr__uoMs6tFkxHG6xwytYfLHR5nl9jmb3oOMyg0gD95IVWBbFJ8zPrwzC18NuhB1ViiPhZVcZQmDcp/s1275/intros.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1271" data-original-width="1275" height="638" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiN1TYYLVrNbjg6duiaTbzFRRBVC5FcUS3bxnJVgQH_Qv_J5o32g2hwCl3-NSMu-SYpdIxU3HbdZXNRq9T4-cvA026yCDcoOK2-5CPF5oyAtbuPl0Sr__uoMs6tFkxHG6xwytYfLHR5nl9jmb3oOMyg0gD95IVWBbFJ8zPrwzC18NuhB1ViiPhZVcZQmDcp/w640-h638/intros.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div><br /></div><div>The alleged homicides that begin the series are grotesquely creative and provoke a genuine "I wanna know what happened" mystery. That really is the central strength of this season, and it's a good strength to have, but it very quickly and almost frivolously falls into the background and becomes buried underneath a buncha superficial subplots and halfhearted character development. Typically that's necessary - in <i>True Detective</i> or just in storytelling in general: we certainly want context or maybe even subtext around our main conflict, and <i>Night Country</i> maps out a paint-by-numbers pastiche of past traumas and broken homes and casual sex and buried pasts and unsolved crimes that plague our players and their community. There are bad cops and not-as-bad cops and convoluted bureaucracy and racial tensions and social unrest that, though predictable, all sound and feel like an engrossing journey.

What is clearly an overwritten pulp exercise that would've blended right in with every other HBO Limited Series Thriller had to clearly amend dialogue and plot points and perhaps its general implication to better <i>fit in</i> with its newly-appointed moniker. Except this was the wrong goddamn path to follow; I don't care if symbols or timelines or bloodlines bleed into past seasons - that's MCU bullshit and I'm sure that's why some people are celebrating it. If the writers were coerced into riffing on (or ripping off) previously published material, they should've focused on the aesthetic, because they already had an incredible groundwork on which to build. </div><div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg9rwTHXuFjuPIbIPnNrk1l0kFdLbW7KATIEN2-eQIFp59M5YwpzrW7Ik9Odw1QYl7DIYSvNZrbIAIfa7RgWAttQh7EbtZKwjwNTEn_EHGdWyd5Eah7T0yXZLJrxrXCxavqKqkqXrdZjRN6-Nb3aj4orz1Da6UJgvQle2v8ViAf_M07PiHMprkDvHhyxqAz/s1200/True-Detective-Night-Country-Swirling-Symbol.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="676" data-original-width="1200" height="360" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg9rwTHXuFjuPIbIPnNrk1l0kFdLbW7KATIEN2-eQIFp59M5YwpzrW7Ik9Odw1QYl7DIYSvNZrbIAIfa7RgWAttQh7EbtZKwjwNTEn_EHGdWyd5Eah7T0yXZLJrxrXCxavqKqkqXrdZjRN6-Nb3aj4orz1Da6UJgvQle2v8ViAf_M07PiHMprkDvHhyxqAz/w640-h360/True-Detective-Night-Country-Swirling-Symbol.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div><br /></div><div>It sounds made up but I'd secretly been hoping for a snowy, wintry <i>True Detective</i> season ever since it was determined that each installment would have a different location, so I was pretty giddy at the idea of Alaska during the Winter Solstice. And wouldn't you know it, that's exactly what it was: <i>an idea</i>. Despite filming much of it actually in Alaska and occasionally shooting at night, at no point did the wind machines or snowfall fx or cartoon polar bears or heated soundstages ever give me the slightest chill. Freezing cold weather doesn't even come through in the performances; like the unsexiness of porno actors who aren't into it, no one's shivering, no one's bothered, and if and when you can see their breath, it's animated. (If you're interested in a much more competent "cold" <i>True Detective</i> watch Jeremy Saulnier's <i>Hold the Dark</i> from 2018). </div><div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg5Svri57wcSUr1Ac4_GmtcHmExWoiZAcjkQ1Y_DWjcEzUW_jELbpUXP5yHpcE-AFt7wYGFFQRrnJwl4eJjL0p1xXJUhOzUp2TXfXHV6JHZHNeLlt2tTVuoyCuMl3Cz7xwJMzoPmBjy4jfN_eDOdwxVt96JrEIXB01STydFSNvg3v-cwqMiaJj_JOtmq1en/s1275/hold%20the%20dark.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="945" data-original-width="1275" height="474" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg5Svri57wcSUr1Ac4_GmtcHmExWoiZAcjkQ1Y_DWjcEzUW_jELbpUXP5yHpcE-AFt7wYGFFQRrnJwl4eJjL0p1xXJUhOzUp2TXfXHV6JHZHNeLlt2tTVuoyCuMl3Cz7xwJMzoPmBjy4jfN_eDOdwxVt96JrEIXB01STydFSNvg3v-cwqMiaJj_JOtmq1en/w640-h474/hold%20the%20dark.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div><br /></div><div>If stuff like fake snow and pop songs and TV tropes feel like trivial critiques then you're either not paying attention or you have a different outlook. A lot of people predictably combated negative reviews by falling back on race and gender anxiety, and if you think that's the nature of my frustration then I can't help you. There's clearly a friendly relationship between the writers and the audience: every moment is saturated in heavy-handed symbolism that's been over-calculated and free of craftiness so that viewers can feel like a detective themselves. But I never cared too much for "cracking the case," not in any season: I'm currently taking another look at Season 2, and despite its callously convoluted story I'm still more engrossed than I was at any point during the slog of <i>Night Country</i> because the vibe feels that much more genuine and exciting. </div></div><div><br /></div><div>- <i>Paul</i></div><div><br /></div>P and Jhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09005196267067819080noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8604091241068134322.post-68013885646694042532024-02-17T07:48:00.000-08:002024-02-17T07:48:00.966-08:00Double Big Mac II ...and the legend continuesWhat do you remember about the year 2020? Disease, poverty, racism, literal fire and brimstone. Aggressive sociopolitical cancer. Fear and loathing. So now, less than five years later, it's all smeared into a colorless paste that covers the walls and floors of every corner of existence; we forgot because it never went away. We're used to it. I'd gotten used to a world where McDonald's Double Big Mac flirted its way into a one night stand and then never called again. And then, in the darkness of January 2024, the sun came out. <div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjxeT1jUdw1kb-k2lp0OZOXtQ6YqYSG6624xYnXdeviV-g0nJeFE8z8TC-0zcfgxjNMHOqWB4xSGvf3P8ERcXe0RBSgJrRs8ak7yIjiVoITpUmiBqqMt_8rggjVnODFRIQjhDpdmhl_eC4Zj1ViY53hKxr2_nYUKtRmU1oE3GKXnwzcSMttWy7xENgiCAJM/s1275/Page_1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="717" data-original-width="1275" height="360" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjxeT1jUdw1kb-k2lp0OZOXtQ6YqYSG6624xYnXdeviV-g0nJeFE8z8TC-0zcfgxjNMHOqWB4xSGvf3P8ERcXe0RBSgJrRs8ak7yIjiVoITpUmiBqqMt_8rggjVnODFRIQjhDpdmhl_eC4Zj1ViY53hKxr2_nYUKtRmU1oE3GKXnwzcSMttWy7xENgiCAJM/w640-h360/Page_1.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div><br /></div><div>As the legend goes, when The Double Big Mac was introduced in 2020, it was intended as a new permanent menu item, and supposedly the Corona Pandemic somehow dissolved this fantasy. Something to do with supply and demand I guess; not even this great white whale could get people to leave the house. But I was there, and I indulged in what I thought was the New Normal: <i>Four</i> all-beef patties, special sauce, lettuce, cheese, pickles, onions, on a sesame seed bun. On paper the difference is subtle, but once you're burger-to-mouth, the full richness of the experiment is palpable. While McDonald's cuisine has always managed to linger in my veins and colon, it leaves my stomach and my soul empty; these aren't any prettier to the eye, but what happens is it gets you that much closer to the experience of eating the regular Big Mac you see pictured in the advertisements. </div><div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgtwK0xNbK2n0jLDBXVT9yu1ux76Us7_ldfTG8wx_ky-HyNPk_UnwxHJUaiCSDo0BJSeSiR0767oE_zX084oHSvHWuPYqXw8iDClgXswByiouWn1AIecVjYOQ2idHsmw3nD3xk62BY4EEyRtQOZaFCMvTYcY550WyPDnBm-lnCIVSGlIlILFqVn-4Z7ZlnZ/s1885/Big-Mac-Double-Big-Mac.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1016" data-original-width="1885" height="344" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgtwK0xNbK2n0jLDBXVT9yu1ux76Us7_ldfTG8wx_ky-HyNPk_UnwxHJUaiCSDo0BJSeSiR0767oE_zX084oHSvHWuPYqXw8iDClgXswByiouWn1AIecVjYOQ2idHsmw3nD3xk62BY4EEyRtQOZaFCMvTYcY550WyPDnBm-lnCIVSGlIlILFqVn-4Z7ZlnZ/w640-h344/Big-Mac-Double-Big-Mac.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div><br /></div><div>However, whatever greatness lies within the standard Big Mac, its obstacles are also that much more magnified in this oversized novelty companion. I've always asserted that you can't (or shouldn't) eat a Big Mac in the car - not as a passenger, certainly not as a driver - because the sandwich itself is so structurally unsound that it requires a sturdy surface space directly in front of you. The thing with the Double Big Mac is that there are decidedly no feasible surfaces that accommodate the cumbersome nature of this beast. I've had four of these burgers so far this year and it's consistently defeated me, much as it did back in '20; eating it straight outta the box, even on a table, is not dissimilar to biting into a lubricated deck of glossy playing cards. Its countless layers of meat and bread discs begin to resist one another like the Repelling Force of two magnets. I'm someone who likes to alternate between the burger, the fries, and the beverage, and the simple act of picking it up and putting it down immediately and continuously aggravates it like a frightened insect. </div><div><br /></div><div>To combat this moist collapse of my meal I began eating the burger from start to finish without deviating to the sides or even letting go of the thing, which ultimately transforms this otherwise celebratory act of eating McDonald's into a daunting endurance test of thawed meat and wilted lettuce. It's on my hands, it's on my pants, it's in my left and my right ventricles - no break, no mercy, just something to get through while I fantasize about brown paper napkins. <i>There's got to be a better way!</i></div><div><i><br /></i></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgB7ggFumZJ3Uv2FjlCUbvoPoQuddoe6oyMPndcExfSkPP_PSpkRYlnLi2PQtKuJckv6W1glmoh9nbnRyTMrpIQ91Ww9e4OVztps8AOpwVH1hfHltaO5jj-OM4G1bPdQw7lMJMCPxcjhPU5x0vQaa3Tn8h9eKzA1CJAoeF2Xw6qM6bw6jkbkIxiSBkrx1XP/s3264/IMG_20240209_164331~2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2448" data-original-width="3264" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgB7ggFumZJ3Uv2FjlCUbvoPoQuddoe6oyMPndcExfSkPP_PSpkRYlnLi2PQtKuJckv6W1glmoh9nbnRyTMrpIQ91Ww9e4OVztps8AOpwVH1hfHltaO5jj-OM4G1bPdQw7lMJMCPxcjhPU5x0vQaa3Tn8h9eKzA1CJAoeF2Xw6qM6bw6jkbkIxiSBkrx1XP/w640-h480/IMG_20240209_164331~2.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div><br /></div><div>Short of dismantling it down to the pickles, the only approach I could think of was to saw the bitch in half like some fastidious Applebee's patron.

I like the burger because it's what a <i>regular</i> Big Mac should be and doesn't leave me with that post-burger letdown of "is that all there is, my McFriend?" Also that magic spell of <i>Limited Time Only</i> always puts me in a trance, no matter what it is; I hate the goddamn McRib but its scarcity has lured me into its blandness on more than one occasion.

Some folks, like myself, gravitate towards them to the point that they become more exciting than the leads. But this list is not a list of them. These are characters we didn't even know we needed until they showed up somewhere around the halfway mark in what seemed to be an otherwise competent motion picture. Some rolled in with a specific plot function, some were crucial to the resolution, some were wild detours that nearly defined the movie.

For the duration of his screen time we're certain that he's just part of the dynamic now, and it's a shame (particularly for Hopper and Fonda) that he wasn't because he seemed to have it all figured out, and he was here long enough to enlighten us about America, Freedom, and Aliens. </div><div><br /></div>P and Jhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09005196267067819080noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8604091241068134322.post-78426167955963695532024-02-03T08:30:00.000-08:002024-02-03T08:30:05.996-08:00Lust For Computer Room<iframe width="640" height="480" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/Y1a6vXI8Smg?si=B7EoHLOgSPWL7m-X" title="YouTube video player" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" allowfullscreen></iframe>P and Jhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09005196267067819080noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8604091241068134322.post-6676009457746731962024-01-29T08:47:00.000-08:002024-01-29T08:47:15.986-08:00Magnificent Home Video Artwork Through The Years!<a href="http://bennettmedia.blogspot.com/2017/08/that-looks-stupid-bad-art-is-bad-for.html" target="_blank">As I've bitched before</a>, the journey from theatrical (and now streaming) release to physical media leaves a few casualties in its wake. In the olden days those victims would include sound quality, picture clarity, and aspect ratio. Understandable losses, the technology lived and died in my lifetime and now I can see the edge of the frame from my couch. But something that rarely made it into my living room was the theatrical poster: those glossy pieces of art that sometimes found their way onto billboards, into magazines and comic books, and maybe the wall art selection at your local Kmart. But mostly you saw them when you went out to the movies and they became tied to their respective features as an identifiable logo. Then they'd come out on videocassette wrapped in some alien image of shapes and text (usually an uncomfortably extreme closeup of the lead actor) and you'd think "what the fuck is this shit?" You know it, you share my gripe. It got even dumber with DVD, worse with Blu-ray, I don't know what the hell is going on with the 4Ks, and I'm not even gonna mention the stupid ass Netflix thumbnails. Content personified by celebrity mugs, surgically enhanced and digitally smoothed. Garbage in, garbage out. <div><br /></div><div>Apparently the canvas of a video cover is too small to convey panache or mood, so at some point somebody's gotta rethink the approach and redesign their art. And wouldn't you know it, sometimes it worked out okay, or even better than okay. Short of when the original poster art actually made it to the cover (though sometimes <i>both</i> sucked) there have been several standouts in my mind of 'alternate art': old videocassettes that became personally (or even culturally) iconic, all the way up to more recent 'special edition' digital video discs that either improved upon or utilized the original graphics. These are several that immediately come to mind.</div><div><br /></div><div>- <i>Paul</i></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><b><i><span style="font-size: large;">A Nightmare on Elm Street 2: Freddy's Revenge</span></i> (VHS)</b></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjYhTT5oDEiCVydcAAf-oVqi7ofa_d3ao4ZD5Fi5C2cgxE4y_LlUQF49ijvQ4ZhfnbqHpC2hye4f30nxNbBnJR4dSrycEIIvT1zSaF1exRGesNdPXRBkgMd6IxzI5wjthmpxcOH-zn_ORaZvwBYb9e-7IcbR0H5MlswlnqRqwxzHJNIN9Gg2lQvZ3WX5xrm/s1469/90f609307d5cb1a93cab5fba54b90500.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1469" data-original-width="835" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjYhTT5oDEiCVydcAAf-oVqi7ofa_d3ao4ZD5Fi5C2cgxE4y_LlUQF49ijvQ4ZhfnbqHpC2hye4f30nxNbBnJR4dSrycEIIvT1zSaF1exRGesNdPXRBkgMd6IxzI5wjthmpxcOH-zn_ORaZvwBYb9e-7IcbR0H5MlswlnqRqwxzHJNIN9Gg2lQvZ3WX5xrm/w364-h640/90f609307d5cb1a93cab5fba54b90500.jpg" width="364" /></a></div><div><br /></div><div>It's unfortunate, though understandable, that Matthew Peak's original (but convoluted) <i>Freddy's Revenge</i> artwork didn't make it to video stores. No matter. As jumbled together as this cover is, it is perhaps the best interpretation of what this or any <i>Elm Street</i> movie is about: a horrifying melted face engulfed in flames clawing at a shadowy suburban home. I always thought his <i>Part 2</i> makeup was the scariest, and when you consider that all other depictions of him - whether on video covers or posters or physically in the movies - are dimly lit or entirely abstract, so for me (and maybe for most) this became the most explicit and pronounced image of Freddy Krueger. It haunted my nightmares. </div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><b><i><span style="font-size: large;">Rock 'n' Roll High School</span></i> (VHS)</b></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiJwPVyGbQMMSsK01k9sj0HqaSu_qSAwh9zZM2maEHDhs-tMFKgK0cWfz-pqe-rQsXlwDXVxDsej0B3vDhC8kYjXeTe6DFA8ioMD15YLJ-X0dBzhp8qP_rZ-VNNORr1TVx4MWcwUP-zkfHT8r2cV44VbFEOnt4AXW63Nwyuw7gnIt4w9c9xSMSNNgdXrGCE/s1644/Page_1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1644" data-original-width="978" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiJwPVyGbQMMSsK01k9sj0HqaSu_qSAwh9zZM2maEHDhs-tMFKgK0cWfz-pqe-rQsXlwDXVxDsej0B3vDhC8kYjXeTe6DFA8ioMD15YLJ-X0dBzhp8qP_rZ-VNNORr1TVx4MWcwUP-zkfHT8r2cV44VbFEOnt4AXW63Nwyuw7gnIt4w9c9xSMSNNgdXrGCE/w380-h640/Page_1.jpg" width="380" /></a></div><div><br /></div><div>Was never a fan of the clamshell cases for videocassettes (or as I just called them "big puffy covers"). It was probably on my short list of why I hated Disney movies. But, I absolutely loved the Warner Home Video covers - they often employed original poster art on their boxes, overlaid on their immediately recognizable color-appropriate gradient backdrop. But when they didn't use the posters, they'd assign some obscure publicity still as the centerpiece, creating the vibe only ever utilized by The Criterion Collection. I adore the original <i>Rock 'n' Roll High School</i> poster by William Stout (I have it in my home) but the perfection on this VHS is so esoterically spot-on that it feels like skilled fan art. </div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><b><i><span style="font-size: large;">Enemy</span></i> (Blu-ray)</b></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiYsXUXi2-30QlTMg7ZK8EEmrFGAciAo51KnhKxUTv6okrt9jSYqEv4nXTvLHnhusYr4QAkGBcR1qMJ0h31lEGgEx9yMNymx7zy3OY3LL_0IJbnCFZYealaNjia-PPnRyWmFFA_-PZ90LIFBiFw5JnjbL-qnSr6tKfTiqCuQ2MS8kY6vE1bovCIqF54XOMi/s1926/24.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1926" data-original-width="1628" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiYsXUXi2-30QlTMg7ZK8EEmrFGAciAo51KnhKxUTv6okrt9jSYqEv4nXTvLHnhusYr4QAkGBcR1qMJ0h31lEGgEx9yMNymx7zy3OY3LL_0IJbnCFZYealaNjia-PPnRyWmFFA_-PZ90LIFBiFw5JnjbL-qnSr6tKfTiqCuQ2MS8kY6vE1bovCIqF54XOMi/w540-h640/24.jpg" width="540" /></a></div><div><br /></div><div>One of the deciding factors for me to make the jump from DVD to Blu-ray was to have a shot at putting this piece of art on my shelf. I was sorta prepared to buy the movie anyway but I held off when I became aware of this aesthetic upgrade; nothing against a stylized glamour shot of Jake Gyllenhaal, that has its own elegant beauty, but this grim Magritte style against a solid mustard yellow is a much better indication as to what the movie is really like. </div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><b><i><span style="font-size: large;">The Blob</span></i> (VHS)</b></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh3TtuywOhqw7yjMqj1SpvkZsGKKkUa4aqMyk9L9TUr-Alvw8WA9fxO4r5NsflZhzvtumn-K-XOncw6F-qn3if9d23r6oyd1siQ3iGLiLj8hEXfLSqI1hsAOa67mNmGLz-dKuJ6Wzir293hokHCmzUa-Ac0WpwzguGXaWyh5tJqxj-w_dp6HgusaFNB-0LR/s2787/now-playing-the-blob-v0-wrrytcn44gwb1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2787" data-original-width="1537" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh3TtuywOhqw7yjMqj1SpvkZsGKKkUa4aqMyk9L9TUr-Alvw8WA9fxO4r5NsflZhzvtumn-K-XOncw6F-qn3if9d23r6oyd1siQ3iGLiLj8hEXfLSqI1hsAOa67mNmGLz-dKuJ6Wzir293hokHCmzUa-Ac0WpwzguGXaWyh5tJqxj-w_dp6HgusaFNB-0LR/w352-h640/now-playing-the-blob-v0-wrrytcn44gwb1.jpg" width="352" /></a></div><div><br /></div><div>The theatrical poster wasn't too dissimilar: a silhouetted figure ensconced in pink slime. But the slime looked like raspberry ginger ale and "The Blob" font was better suited to a computer hacking movie; it definitely nailed down the Science Fiction side of the story. But video store shelves were reserved for the Horror Show and so instead we got this ghoulish emaciated victim that incidentally gives a face to the monster, complete with outreaching arms. That and the typeface in fatter, <i>Blobby</i> letters made for a memorable and exciting design. </div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><b><i><span style="font-size: large;">Heat</span></i> (Blu-ray)</b></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEihLhoK8mK5M9Q5QMWJVXGwlJsnt7WOnYerN4QN08mo2jAfAxwPH0vfHUU5lrHE0emX5XN1XUNxV2ZDgCFAbOHWAvwLhF2gbiex_8ezAC-45KkcChGryuGDHwDMKQ2ZswoRFbyBTkUEtUBrwuNz9Jpi9oOF1Cp5f7bLaxAySNlwyqqBKsvGEdpr2M94lf9i/s2013/5823600_so.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2013" data-original-width="1590" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEihLhoK8mK5M9Q5QMWJVXGwlJsnt7WOnYerN4QN08mo2jAfAxwPH0vfHUU5lrHE0emX5XN1XUNxV2ZDgCFAbOHWAvwLhF2gbiex_8ezAC-45KkcChGryuGDHwDMKQ2ZswoRFbyBTkUEtUBrwuNz9Jpi9oOF1Cp5f7bLaxAySNlwyqqBKsvGEdpr2M94lf9i/w506-h640/5823600_so.jpg" width="506" /></a></div><div><br /></div><div>This is the most refreshing upgrade and it only took a quarter of a century. I hate floating heads - either that or they never seemed to perfect a composition that made it pleasing, and the <i>Heat</i> heads were some of the most agitating. (Also, I like Val Kilmer but he ruined that <i>Godfather</i> Mt. Rushmore.) This sparse, moody L.A. scenescape best defines the movie while also being more visually captivating than anything in the movie. </div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><b><i><span style="font-size: large;">Mitchell</span></i> (VHS)</b></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhErfufJK84XcXBfUAa42iGlD0879Ornh-IK4P4phYOktGxqRDs9tyaMyD0ZPa1ZlpdNbmNBz_hq1DuuweJd4pOPyQwFDdREYJ9CUc0XU7ohvTJbdqm-WF5lmx0UqM-axgD9fdHNXlak3PIq3Vwiapm1OcWhq_ECm6vdIzISbnjwi1KjWG4tRvgcFhnNrjT/s2134/13608_Mitchell.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2134" data-original-width="1168" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhErfufJK84XcXBfUAa42iGlD0879Ornh-IK4P4phYOktGxqRDs9tyaMyD0ZPa1ZlpdNbmNBz_hq1DuuweJd4pOPyQwFDdREYJ9CUc0XU7ohvTJbdqm-WF5lmx0UqM-axgD9fdHNXlak3PIq3Vwiapm1OcWhq_ECm6vdIzISbnjwi1KjWG4tRvgcFhnNrjT/w350-h640/13608_Mitchell.jpg" width="350" /></a></div><div><br /></div><div>I unironically love video art that misrepresents the content of the movie. This doesn't promise any monsters or nudity that isn't actually in the film, and these actors and a helicopter are all part of the plot, but never together and not in this capacity. Also <i>Mitchell</i> came out in 1975, and this particular video release came out in 1989 - note the updated clothing and hairstyles on Joe Don and Linda Evans, probably to capitalize on the peripheral popularity of <i>Hunter</i> or <i>Spencer: For Hire</i> or some other bubbly detective show from that particular moment. Mostly I just like the cartoon bad guy falling to his death like Wile E. Coyote. </div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><b><i><span style="font-size: large;">Godzilla: The Showa-Era Films</span></i> (Blu-ray)</b></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh9XqPdxXYJYiZg0Hn7QRdCjOB6hUN9zur8DaioVxKVp0rPFVsXXSbP3PqNFg63BqJHLIO88urGV0TUnqv04rIqp2f1F14s3JxbbhOu9iBksR2KoGmRiJPOcpe07hOqEtUVkf6QcnRMqsarPIQtqfhSl9zDYHePt79g-3vMgDVRUjG0QGhf8a48Dt3FJbQs/s994/godzilla-criterion-box.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="994" data-original-width="800" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh9XqPdxXYJYiZg0Hn7QRdCjOB6hUN9zur8DaioVxKVp0rPFVsXXSbP3PqNFg63BqJHLIO88urGV0TUnqv04rIqp2f1F14s3JxbbhOu9iBksR2KoGmRiJPOcpe07hOqEtUVkf6QcnRMqsarPIQtqfhSl9zDYHePt79g-3vMgDVRUjG0QGhf8a48Dt3FJbQs/w516-h640/godzilla-criterion-box.jpg" width="516" /></a></div><div><br /></div><div>Of all the Criterion covers, which would you choose?

At a glance, when my child was one year old he was surrounded by telescreens spewing misinformation and couldn't breathe the air in a public setting. He didn't know or care beyond the song & dance of his sheltered reality, and I was blessed to have that same outlook and maintain that innocent ignorance for my own first few years. And it's that very outlook that grownups still crave: we attach it to cartoons and pop songs and call it "nostalgia" and we'll sit and watch a new <i>Ghostbusters</i> or <i>Beverly Hills Cop</i> movie not for quality entertainment but to role-play the singular time in our lives when nothing was expected of us and the only evils of the world came in the form of a 100 ft. marshmallow man. </div><div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj6M8683RJZOS8GOkXKmJ-bi9TmnJNWgc_T0fV2vTqOPkXb7a5E-t3F8uECPC_RYuzqQwnYNUb6JxSjK2uKRq-EGFqXVzCBQxJyT1oU4cm0BzsJvJ23u9QLD_nZJ1k2XfSbfVkfASx0B9jhAtd6gAXvb4X69UhyPplCuxoBstuxBdZkxPRroiHBrrVNo82R/s1275/1984%20drama.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1273" data-original-width="1275" height="638" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj6M8683RJZOS8GOkXKmJ-bi9TmnJNWgc_T0fV2vTqOPkXb7a5E-t3F8uECPC_RYuzqQwnYNUb6JxSjK2uKRq-EGFqXVzCBQxJyT1oU4cm0BzsJvJ23u9QLD_nZJ1k2XfSbfVkfASx0B9jhAtd6gAXvb4X69UhyPplCuxoBstuxBdZkxPRroiHBrrVNo82R/w640-h638/1984%20drama.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div><br /></div><div>So no, it was not like Orwell's novel; the year capped off with a buncha rich celebrities chanting "feed the world" so society as a whole wasn't physically or psychologically repressed, and I think the movies reflected that: a lotta fantasy mixed in with supernatural threats.

Even my Top 20 list of mainstream blockbusting excitement can't hold all the colorful classics of contemporary cinema.

No surprises there, but I never tire of stressing its effectiveness as a Horror Movie; the 80s is forever linked to its low budget Slasher fare, but when the scary movies went big, they went hard. When this film decides to be serious it doesn't hold back and has enough shit to turn you white - it approaches the level of <i>Poltergeist</i> or <i>Aliens</i>, and unlike something like <i>Beetlejuice</i> only sometimes does the comedy spill over into the terror. It's that tonal imbalance that cranks the contrast in this "Dark Comedy." </div><div><br /></div><div>2. <b><i><span style="font-size: large;">Starman</span></i></b></div><div>On the short list of movies that cause me to shed a tear - largely due to Jack Nitzsche's gut wrenching music score. But there's a lotta things that come to mind with this film. Firstly it's one of the best Food Movies of all time (sandwiches, pies, milkshakes). It's also endlessly quotable and I've been pulling lines from it since I could talk. But now in hindsight (or maybe even upon its release) it's a <i>terrific</i> reminder that Carpenter never had to fall back on shocks and scares to tell a story or even create a mood; even with the Science Fiction stuff aside, it's still his style and it works effectively across the board. </div><div><br /></div><div>3. <b><i><span style="font-size: large;">The Bounty</span></i></b></div><div>You can compare it to the other film versions of this story but I don't think it matters - everything about this interpretation is exactly my speed: the music, the pace, the set design and costumes, and particularly the acting. I'll easily nominate this as Mel Gibson's best performance, but I'll take a deep breath and shut my eyes and say it's also Anthony Hopkins's best performance - both of them outacting Liam Neeson and Daniel Day-Lewis, no less. </div><div><br /></div><div>4. <b><i><span style="font-size: large;">Romancing the Stone</span></i></b></div><div>Zemeckis's first blockbuster - and all without Spielberg's help(!) which is most surprising as it's mostly a lighter, cuter <i>Indiana Jones</i>. And funnier! And I think that's the biggest draw in this movie for me; I'm not impervious to the solid action sequences or the chemistry between Michael and Kathleen, but this easily works as the second best Comedy of the year. </div><div><br /></div><div>5. <b><i><span style="font-size: large;">Blood Simple</span></i></b></div><div>As it's happened with several astounding films: after seeing <i>Fargo</i> I ventured back to discover (and rediscover) the rest of their filmography. Regardless (or because) of the two films' similarities I was even more taken with this extremely competent and confident freshman effort that could've appeared anywhere in their career and it would've still felt just as strong. Actual screen time be damned, I consider M. Emmett Walsh to be the lead, and we should treasure this movie just for that alone. </div><div><br /></div><div>6. <b><i><span style="font-size: large;">Stop Making Sense</span></i></b></div><div>A Concert "Film" you say? Of which there are so few, at least many of any pertinence. It's one thing to capture a music concert with a handful of video cameras - that's an approach and it gets the job done - but to harness the energy of witnessing Rock Gods in the flesh and translate it into a tangible medium takes the finesse and enthusiasm of a band's mega fan -- i.e. Jonathan Demme + Talking Heads. It's not a Rock Opera or even a Documentary, but it feels like it has a story.</div><div><br /></div><div>7. <b><i><span style="font-size: large;">The NeverEnding Story</span></i></b></div><div>Whether it's sinking in The Swamps of Sadness or hiding in the attic of a public school, no other piece of art has ever so accurately captured the abstract wonder and terror of childhood (particularly growing up in the 1980s -- or maybe any time). That may be rooted in my own nostalgia and perhaps not everyone's kindertrauma was accompanied by a majestic Giorgio Moroder soundtrack, but every creature and event and emotion in this movie felt symbolic of trying to survive in a hostile and beautiful world. I could relate. </div><div><br /></div><div>8. <b><i><span style="font-size: large;">Breakin'</span></i></b></div><div>All of the Dance Movies of the 1980s, even the breakdancing ones, took themselves way too seriously. Big surprise: this one does not. And that's not to minimize it in any way: it has romance, domestic strife, conflict, a villain, intentional comedy, ridiculously engrossing dance sequences, and a soundtrack that goes head-to-head with the best of the rest in this genre. It knows what's important and doesn't pretend to be anything more. </div><div><br /></div><div>9. <b><i><span style="font-size: large;">The Natural</span></i></b></div><div>This was a time when Sports (particularly Baseball) could believably be depicted as Fantasy and I was raised on it like milk and Jesus. Baseball was very much in the air for all of my youth, but this movie really gave it the weight and grandeur of its supposed mysticism, as it's a not-too-subtle fairytale with a literal Hollywood ending. That's not to say it's ineffective; Randy Newman's music score alone is enough to make you believe that it's more than just a game (or a movie). </div><div><br /></div><div>10. <b><i><span style="font-size: large;">Gremlins</span></i></b></div><div>Weirdly released into theaters the same day as <i>Ghostbusters</i> as they both epitomized the brazen genre-bending trend of "Children's Horror" that became synonymous with the time. I remember thinking it was scary, and it turns out I was right; the suspense and violence is not an accident but an intelligent and generous choice that precisely hit the mark on what kids find exciting. For me it lives in the shadow of its sequel, but of the two it's definitely more frightening. </div><div><br /></div><div>11. <b><i><span style="font-size: large;">The Terminator</span></i></b></div><div>Speaking of wholly original films dwarfed by their follow-ups: I, like many I think, am a much bigger fan of the second one, but any time I revisit this one I'm reminded of how some of the strengths of <i>Judgement Day</i> were very much the backbone of the original - in particular the legitimate edge-of-your-seat tension, as well as the use of creatively gross violence that puts all the slashers to shame. </div><div><br /></div><div>12. <b><i><span style="font-size: large;">Bachelor Party</span></i></b></div><div>One of the earliest movies I can remember - partly because it was on all the time. But even taking myself and its familiarity out of it, it still ranks Number One in its subgenre: the now-defunct Sex Comedy. It's nearly a parody of every other movie like it because of how many gags they packed into it, up to and including that very satire. </div><div><br /></div><div>13. <b><i><span style="font-size: large;">A Nightmare on Elm Street</span></i></b></div><div>There had been supernatural villains before, but the whole <i>stabbing</i> method of massacre tied the entire tang of the decade together. And <i>finally</i>, someone with style, with motivation, with personality; nearly halfway through the 1980s but it's hard to imagine the period without Freddy. Johnny Depp's liquidation remains to be the most outrageous kill in the series, the genre, and maybe all Film.</div><div><br /></div><div>14. <b><i><span style="font-size: large;">Amadeus</span></i></b></div><div>I'll say it every time: Biopics are trash - particularly ones about celebrities (from any era). They typically just connect the dots with all the clichĆ©s and allow some anecdotes to masquerade as filmmaking. And then there's a movie like <i>this</i> that builds from the ground up with its own mood and interpretations and abstractions to the point that the bibliography is buried under a beautiful piece of art. </div><div><br /></div><div>15. <b><i><span style="font-size: large;">Breakin' 2: Electric Boogaloo</span></i></b></div><div>But wait, there's more! Leave it to The Cannon Group to strike while the dance floor is hot. The first one was lighthearted, but this one is just ridiculous - that is, to say, dancing had a plot function the first time around whereas this movie is a full-blown Busby Berkeley musical that reads as a series of music videos strung together. Believe the hype. Believe in the beat. </div><div><br /></div><div>16. <b><i><span style="font-size: large;">Body Double</span></i></b></div><div>Possibly the most <i>DePalma</i> that DePalma's ever been. No movie was safe from the fads and fashions of the moment, so this is easily the closest we'll ever get to 1980s Hitchcock. All derivative aspects aside, I always found Brian to be pretty silly, so this movie works extra for me as it weaponizes that silliness in a way that could only be intentional. </div><div><br /></div><div>17. <b><i><span style="font-size: large;">Beverly Hills Cop</span></i></b></div><div>Once again, the power and potential of this eventual franchise was perfected in the second installment, making this one now feel sluggish and convoluted. Regardless, Eddie proved he could reel in the buffoonery just enough to be a <i>Cool Action Star</i>. And the chemistry between him and Judge Reinhold and John Ashton has become a screenwriting model at this point. </div><div><br /></div><div>18. <b><i><span style="font-size: large;">Rhinestone</span></i></b></div><div>I will admit - <i>assert</i> even - that the personal appeal of this movie is its star power: I would watch Dolly Parton or Sylvester Stallone in just about anything. But put them <i>together</i>? Ohhh <i>fuhgeddaboudit</i>! On paper the story is very dumb (and so's the dialogue) but it does set them up, <i>both of them</i>, to sing throughout the movie. I enjoy it on levels I won't bother explaining because you won't understand. </div><div><br /></div><div>19. <b><i><span style="font-size: large;">Paris, Texas</span></i></b></div><div>It's not a period piece, yet it's the least 1984 movie on this list. Partly because the emotions put forward are timeless, but more than that, the baffling richness of the cinematography feels like it's from some futuristic means of filmmaking. And similar to <i>Blood Simple</i>, it's a blessing to have someone like Harry Dean in a lead role. </div><div><br /></div><div>20. <b><i><span style="font-size: large;">Rats: Night of Terror</span></i></b></div><div>Finally something post-apocalyptic to round out the year. I usually don't like these made-for-cheap, shot-in-abandoned-warehouses, band-of-survivors meanderings, but this one is so dark and dirty and gross that its setting is almost entirely believable. And its twist ending rivals nearly any <i>Twilight Zone</i> episode. </div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div>P and Jhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09005196267067819080noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8604091241068134322.post-46000905045140425352024-01-19T12:58:00.000-08:002024-01-19T12:58:19.703-08:00GROOVE APPROVED<div class="separator" style="clear: both;

Who reads these Nutrition Facts anyway? I wouldn't. But, while we have you here, let's catch up. <div><br /></div><div>It's mid January and there's nothing extra to be excited about. This is the time to appreciate what you have: warmth, moderate health, legal drugs and booze and pornography. It's also a time of obligatory change - personal resolutions coerced by the calendar (though this weather is consistently and ironically the worst vibe for intellectual or physical progress). Hopefully that means some new artistic endeavors lie ahead - one of which is <i>certainly not</i> the creation of a <a href="https://letterboxd.com/Paul_Proulx/" target="_blank"><b>Letterboxd</b></a> account from one half of this team; a tedious and redundant bit of business that's too constrictive for our own explorations but a useful outlet for us to see what <i>you're</i> up to. So give a follow and get followed back. </div><div><br /></div><div>Onto the other stagnant matter: this quiz. The answers to the apparently-too-difficult <a href="http://bennettmedia.blogspot.com/2023/09/name-that-movie_27.html" target="_blank">90s Horror set</a> have been posted and hopefully you're brave enough to attempt an even broader scope - thusly the following.

I love surprises, punchlines, ambiguity, shock cuts, fadeouts, even neat & tidy old fashioned happy endings. From a distance there's no right or wrong, until we have to get dreadfully specific and make that eye-rolling declaration: <i>it depends on the movie</i>. Don't go hard for 100 minutes and then get all soft on me; movies earn their endings whether they like it or not and sometimes whether they mean to or not. It's a big responsibility but it's also a tremendous freedom - in my story writing experience I would often write just as an excuse to invent a provocative conclusion.

Harrison accuses him of "switching samples" in regards to whatever the overall motivation was but I never bother to remember any of that, and then he inexplicably follows the criminal mastermind into some backroom out of public view(!). Ultimately this is so Tommy Lee can be a part of the showdown which is all we wanted but it ends up being such a drag after the elaborate chase that was the entire film. </div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><b><i><span style="font-size: large;">The Thing</span></i></b> (1982)</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjpa8WRj-FJqUZkikc2UXZevY5FsRH0JoW6VEs5MP6fqYMvUMVN1wKqW3YqWmTHZM9uL0biZGyoizcwKDRYyGBCuCo999_QPEmieMVWx_4gtWyoLCXLja1wXb4aLAqMRY-dzhNNmBYS4cd5zBwoplZWTPDnjTas7a7-gR7nT_XqTUt0DTc2ucMgWggEenuY/s1920/thing.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="813" data-original-width="1920" height="272" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjpa8WRj-FJqUZkikc2UXZevY5FsRH0JoW6VEs5MP6fqYMvUMVN1wKqW3YqWmTHZM9uL0biZGyoizcwKDRYyGBCuCo999_QPEmieMVWx_4gtWyoLCXLja1wXb4aLAqMRY-dzhNNmBYS4cd5zBwoplZWTPDnjTas7a7-gR7nT_XqTUt0DTc2ucMgWggEenuY/w640-h272/thing.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div><br /></div><div>No, not the cryptic staredown between Kurt and Keith David - that's on the Best Endings list, so no surprise that it overshadows the formulaic Action Movie climax with the explosion and underground tunnels and the witty curse word remark. But the real troubling moment is the faltering monster FX that noticeably pale in comparison to the the dazzling achievement that is the rest of the movie leading up to it.

I'm not here to get into any of that, but I will say that the whole film could've come out ahead had Spielberg & co. given the audience a little more credit. Instead he leaves us with one of the worst expository speeches I've <i>still</i> ever heard as an animated alien lifeform (voiced by Ben Kingsley) tediously explains to David everything that we already know. I'm not complaining about the repetition but rather the crude disregard for even a remote chance of any abstraction. After I left the theater I went home and watched <i>2001</i> to get the taste out of my mouth. </div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><b><i><span style="font-size: large;">Trading Places</span></i></b> (1983)</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjRpZOIX6n_MJyV9Z9-oER8H_LwVdhVRFA0p0H26pevceu29_CcqL-HRYJxqhc7vU4gbinGhZjbRllWhO_IyE0DlZic3brtby7Yo_cDuSXCGq-N4a4pKBjoKdRjXAQXyODG919elAIiJILapPbfw5OumFCyLSF6d32tPb26mbaI6UI6JDpRAeIlEBjvmIKv/s1920/trading%20places.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1080" data-original-width="1920" height="360" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjRpZOIX6n_MJyV9Z9-oER8H_LwVdhVRFA0p0H26pevceu29_CcqL-HRYJxqhc7vU4gbinGhZjbRllWhO_IyE0DlZic3brtby7Yo_cDuSXCGq-N4a4pKBjoKdRjXAQXyODG919elAIiJILapPbfw5OumFCyLSF6d32tPb26mbaI6UI6JDpRAeIlEBjvmIKv/w640-h360/trading%20places.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div><br /></div><div>The story lands right where it's supposed to and right on time as the two lead characters reach the heights (and depths) of their respective class status. Then they join forces, which is also satisfying. Then they all board a train wearing silly disguises and talking with funny accents in a sequence that is comedically beneath a Benny Hill sketch. You'd think two <i>SNL</i> vets could make this work, but no; whatever tone the movie created had shifted into a silliness that feels like an entirely different movie. Furthermore, the second climax involving the commodities trading floor becomes literal white noise as the esoteric stock market stuff loses my interest entirely. </div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><b><i><span style="font-size: large;">Unbreakable</span></i></b> (2000)</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEht1she37JEGzYV301jaVpusqXs58H-MhjqHINIX22F6smibDX_ydZOBYCi6vL8cisPGwGtTbKotiy21wKMT1o-lUMVgPn_Kj8LdDtU0t7Gllkmu05eG_PU7geqt-MywFKwL1iil6qwhUlYgmRmFbM1LQn-8V3sYmfnIn3R2ZzuZOnzBAxpndDppsh2J2T3/s1920/unbreakable.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="814" data-original-width="1920" height="272" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEht1she37JEGzYV301jaVpusqXs58H-MhjqHINIX22F6smibDX_ydZOBYCi6vL8cisPGwGtTbKotiy21wKMT1o-lUMVgPn_Kj8LdDtU0t7Gllkmu05eG_PU7geqt-MywFKwL1iil6qwhUlYgmRmFbM1LQn-8V3sYmfnIn3R2ZzuZOnzBAxpndDppsh2J2T3/w640-h272/unbreakable.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div><br /></div><div>This one hurts.

Regardless of his impeccable storytelling strengths (as well as a creative eye) he <i>truly</i> has no faith in an audience's intelligence: he'll <i>show</i> us what's really going on, and then explicitly <i>tell</i> us, and then <i>show</i> us yet again.

Plot wise, yes, it's necessary for Django and Broomhilda to be reunited and the remainder of that journey (though sorta rushed) is entirely compelling, but not as satisfying as it should've been. The movie is so much more concerned with building the relationship between Django and Schultz that the actual objective always feels sorta incidental, so once he dies we have to force ourselves to become more invested in the very peripheral romance. </div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><b><i><span style="font-size: large;">M*A*S*H</span></i></b> (1970)</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjtgCLWBO8xCu9ldD1gjNuOaMKl43tXRxkAMko25ZUtMsJKkGMKPGRd030JrKjZSONkhdcAbceASu4e8xHcscZAqbsnXAUKL3qVlfQe1LeYGNSiKKYAixHiK-yWmRWCgW8ZtsVB9XIdQr8KfvQiFIouMGQYlgirns0hYPxLnJGh5JV10ushMRgRQeyIZGq0/s1920/mash.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="816" data-original-width="1920" height="272" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjtgCLWBO8xCu9ldD1gjNuOaMKl43tXRxkAMko25ZUtMsJKkGMKPGRd030JrKjZSONkhdcAbceASu4e8xHcscZAqbsnXAUKL3qVlfQe1LeYGNSiKKYAixHiK-yWmRWCgW8ZtsVB9XIdQr8KfvQiFIouMGQYlgirns0hYPxLnJGh5JV10ushMRgRQeyIZGq0/w640-h272/mash.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div><br /></div><div>To be fair there was no right or wrong way to end this movie - it has no narrative thread in a traditional sense, it's just a disjointed series of hijinks, and that's fine.

So for some ridiculous reason (regardless of the source novel) they decided to tack on some version of a "plot" in the form of an arbitrary football game to close out the film.
