I've got Paul Sorvino on the mind (Watched Goodfellas last night. Pretty good) so I'm going to shill one of my all time favorite movies: Repo! The Genetic Opera. Think Saw meets Rocky Horror. Falls firmly into "so bad it's good" or maybe it's just camp and I'm neurodivergent.

It's hard to recommend because every aspect of it is bad. The effects, the writing, the singing, the audio mixing. Everything is awful. But once you get past the "holy shit this is r-slurred" it morphs into "holy shit this is awesome"

All star cast. All star musicians. Paris Hilton is in it. Paul Sorvino obviously. The girl frow Spy Kids. Seriously cannot recommend it enough.

I wanted this show to be good. I really wanted to like it. The first season was really good, the second season had the potential to be even better but they fricked it up. I'm mad. I'm just gonna rant.

The last season, specifically the last episode, fricking sucked. The whole show has led up to this and then Mando beats moff gideon like half way through the episode. It's just all that build up and then the problem just gets solved, and they just end up filling the rest of the episode with a sub plot of the dark troopers attacking Mando and the crew. But that gets conveniently solved when Luke Skywalker shows up out of nowhere and just takes Grogu after knowing Mando for less than five minutes. The whole show has built up the relationship between Mando and Grogu and then suddenly luke shows up and takes Grogu away to train him, Mando let's him, and that's just the end of it. What the frick?

And the whole midichlorian blood thing? Never really got explained why the empire wanted it or what their endgame was. The dark saber plot? Resolved in like two minutes. The fight between Gideon and Mando that we've been building up to? It lasts like a minute and ends with mando easily winning in the middle of the episode? The entire relationship between Grogu and Mando that's been developing? It gets resolved in five minutes and Luke just takes the kid after a cheap, predictable emotional moment that everyone knew was going to happen at some point, but it still didn't feel earned because there wasn't really that much buildup because the show spent half the season doing nothing.

The plot could be a lot bigger and it had potential, but it ended up getting packed into a few key episodes with useless filler episodes in between the "plot episodes". Most of the time the plot is barely getting developed, and Mando is just fricking around doing side quests that he has no reason to do or care about and the audience has no reason to care about either. Because the season spent most of it's time on random crap that doesn't matter, the actual plot didn't really get fleshed out.

Sure they're weren't really any plot holes. But the plot was the bare minimum to not be just a bunch of scattered plot points coming out of nowhere. It did the bare minimum to justify getting to the next plot point without it being completely illogical to get to that point.

Rather than a fleshed out plot, it felt like a series of bullet points with the big plot points with no buildup or substance between them, spaced out by cheap filler. Because the plot doesn't really get fleshed out and their isn't much actual plot progression between major plot points, the plot feels rushed. Because the plot is spaced out between filler episodes, it feels like it's barely moving and nothing's happening.

The plot of the show, at least this season, is simultaneously way too fast and boringly slow.

I was kind of disappointed. Was the episode that good? No, but was it ok? Yeah.

Could it have been WAY FRICKING BETTER? Yes.

5 years ago today, the emoji movie was released. I actually followed John's channel and saw that video the day it came out, which was fun. It went on for a long time, like 3 months before the actual movie was released. He actually grifted quite a bit of money too by selling merch for a movie that no one cared about.

There was also the IHE video which had high production value for a YouTube video. He recorded himself IRL up until the movie started, and cared enough to see the movie in the theater. Also, he actually predicted that there was going to be an emoji movie!

Cool.

Look at the trailer's amazing like/dislike ratio!

Heres some somewhat obscure movies that i like of various quality

Candy(2006) I like to watch this one and pretend its' the reason ledger died. it's a drug movie in the trainspotting, requeim, spun category that was popular around the time. It's pretty easy to see what the entire thing goes after like 10 minutes but it's kinda charming to watch these two fall into heroin addiction together. The director definitely went to art school of some kind and is very in love with weird shots that sometimes miss the mark.

Meet Me in St. Louis(1944) One of my favorite musicals. it might be more known than I realized since it was a clue on jeopardy, but I didn't know about it until sometime last year. Amazing sets, fun songs A FRICKING WILD halloween scene (Seriously, at least watch this scene on youtube). Judy Garland lives up to her star power, but a somewhat (ok a lot) incoherent plot leaves a lot to be desired but it's a musical so i mean whatever. Watch it with a girlfriend you'll get points i promise.

Stir of echoes 1999 so forgive me if i'm missing a big one but this movie has the same feel as sixth sense, the others etc that were popular around the time. It's a thriller with a little bit of horror elements. It has kevin bacon being pretty cool. I saw it in theatres when i was 11 and it scared the frick out of me. It's not scary anymore but it holds up imo. Not great. But if you want some background noise or you love KB check it out.

Raising arizona (1987) this one obvi isn't obscure being a coens brothers film but i find a lot of people in the wild haven't seen it. This is a GREAT film. One of my favorite comedies of all time. I remember my mother being excited to show it to me when I was young, like maybe 8 and it was great then and it's even better now. This is the Nicholas Cage role for me. Holly hunter and john goodman are fantastic. I'm not saying this is the best film of all time but only stupid people don't like it.

ok that's all just some movies i think about a lot.

Ravenous (1999)

Event Horizon (Warhammer 40K prequel kinda)

Predestination (Time travel done well)

The Lighthouse (Kino)

It helps to be on a hallucinogen of some kind while watching this film, but it's not necessary.

1 - Kingdom of Heaven - Directors Cut (2005)

2 - Passion of Christ (2004)

3 - For Greater Glory (2012)

Do you agree? What is your top 3 biblical/christian kinos?

Literal yikes moment.

First it's explicitly anti-g*mer, second it has completely sfw shots of young Jude Law putting his tongue into a bussy-like cavity.

Didn't watch this as a kid, watched it recently because it was a friends childhood movie. it's pretty good for a kids movie.

Blockchain would fix this

its unironically my favorite comedy

For me it's commando,

Non-Blockbuster Michael Bay is a completely unique and engaging director. This and Pain and Gain are movies where every single decision seems to be made to answer the question of "How can I make this more obnoxious?". While Pain and Gain answered the question with twisted plot, disgusting characters, constant dutch angles and saturation Ambulance has a new tool. Drone shots. Like Netflix nature documentary amount of them. There was not moment in movie where someone not shouting, engine roaring, camera moving whether by weird angle shaky cam or drone. The dialogue has the stalest, cringiest, and crudest cultural references delivered as Marvel style quips and frequent dumb explanations to the audience of what they are doing. The characters are exceptionally brutish and stupid. The plot starts very focused and straight forward but then has weird diversion into LA Mexican gang that pays off with action setpieces. Highly recommended.

My favorite line is heterosexual s*x for a white man was a necessary evil and that homosexual s*x for pleasure was preferred. Also admitting that the arabs are white and that they brought homosexuality to Africa.

Sexy Indian dude on sexy Indian dude discrimination so lit rn:

Why don't they ever have an actual Sikh actor play a Sikh? And why do they always play as someone who only ties a turban in some of the scenes?

I honestly don't know: would they have had a problem casting a Sikh actor since this character needs to be clean shaven for a lot of the movie?

100% commie friendly movie unlike the imperialist Forest Chud:

Instead of the black panther scene, he's going to meet Maoists in Kerala

Diversity means having a Muslim be the star of a Hindu nationalist movie:

I wonder if this is going to be patriotic propaganda like the OG, but for India.

Nah man, he isn't really a dissenter. The Indian film industry he generally has offered little to no push back to the nationalists. The biggest stars prefer to keep quiet. Nationalists do hate Aamir, but it is because he is a prominent and successful muslim.
