Get Movies About Rich People Or Die Trying
Responding to different takes on the movies I watched yesterday, and thoughts on the whole idea of “getting it.” Spoilers for Saltburn and Ready or Not 2: Here I Come
Saltburn, or, I Am Stretched On Your Grave
I might have enjoyed the 90 minute long, modern take on British classics that’s buried somewhere inside Saltburn
One Thing I Like About Ready or Not 2
Ready or Not absolutely did not need a sequel, which is something the filmmakers seemed to take as a challenge
Tuesday Tune Two-Fer: I Have Had It With These Monkey-Fighting Snakes in This Monday to Friday Country
Two instrumental tunes in honor of St Patrick’s Day
Heebie dBs, or, The SFXorcist (One Thing I Like About undertone)
The creepy podcast movie undertone has the great sound design you’d expect, but also pairs it with just the right old-school visuals. (Spoilers after a warning)
One Thing I Guess I Like About The Bride!
The Bride! is ultimately more memorable than good, but it does have an interesting take on why this movie exists at all
Let It Go (One Thing I Didn’t Like About Hoppers)
Hoppers is like a louder, blunter Pom Poko, which isn’t so bad unless you think too hard about its messages
A Universal Picture
Re-thinking my earlier defenses of Pixar, since you can’t actually be universal without first examining what you consider normal
It’s Your Thing
Cultural blind spots, dismissive assumptions, and the paradox of having a unique voice in a world that would really prefer you didn’t
One Thing I Like About Epic
Baz Luhrmann’s concert movie uses real footage to turn Elvis Presley into an Elvis impersonator, in the best possible way
Yelling at Nothing
Toothless satire is worse than useless when we know who the bad guys are (Spoilers for Good Luck Have Fun Don’t Die)
