I liked The Menu enough and thought it started really strong but it turned into a different movie than the one I was expecting and it just kinda bummed me out.

what were you expecting

I thought it was gonna be cannibalism

I also thought Parasite was going to be cannibalism based on a misheard conversation

I also thought The Menu was going to be cannibalism and I was so happy it went in a totally different direction. That burger also looked really good.

The Menu is a really good dark comedy that was marketed as a horror movie.

Filmmaking is literally the art of smoke and mirrors, and you use whatever tools are available and seem to work the best for a particular shot. All those blooper spotters point out a lot of places where props are swapped around between scenes, as well as stunt doubles and so on.

I rewatched the Replacement Killers recently and there's one henchman who I swear buys it in at least three of the film's many shootouts.

Don't press play
Saw Peter Strickland introduce Berbarian Sound Studio a few months ago, and then Flux Gourmet the next night. He sounded pretty down on creating any more films as it's getting harder and harder to get the financing, and so easier and simpler to make money script writing.

All I've seen with Joel Kinnaman is For All Mankind, which started out with him playing a 30-something and, next season, probably a man pushing 70 despite not looking any different. And his character was born in the 30s, so we're not talking a modern-day 70, we're talking old-rear end 70.

he's insanely well-cast in For All Mankind as an old-school macho manchild who you can't help but root for

e: the age stuff is certainly goofy as hell. tbh the entire show jumps the shark in the third season, but at least they have his character juicing in order to stay buff while he gets aged up

Dialogue card.

No. Instead, he will shoot someone and then we cut and zoom to a calendar with the day's date circled and GARBAGE DAY written on it.

He taps on the calendar while looking slightly to the left of the camera and waggling his eyebrows.

Is the X-files something that can work in 2023? Conspiracy theories have a lot darker, stupider, and just generally more racists tones these days.

Like if they change it to something more like Fringe, hell yeah, or just two FBI agents working weird cryptid type cases that could be cool. But if they start to bring in all the alien/government conspiracy theory stuff.... then nope. The alien/government conspiracy stuff was the worst part of the x-files anyway so would be more than happy with them just ditching that.

Oh just noticed it's going to be a animated comedy thing by the guy who did that god awful Paradise PD dreck. So yeah it's going to be complete garbage.

If you want a good X-files satire just watch Wellington Paranormal.

Hell, the final revival series devoted a whole episode to how Mulder and his quest for the truth have become completely irrelevant in a post-truth world of dumbfuck rabbit-hole Q bullshit. And it was fantastic. (But then, it was a Darin Morgan script.)

Ah yes, the mid-90s, when there was a complete absence of paranoid white supremacist conspiracies in America. Absolutely zero federal buildings exploded by neo-Nazis
