Alice in Wonderland is downright offensive. Despise it. It's like that Owen Wilson Bob Ross flick where it's like watching someone piss on an original beloved work for two hours. Carroll's story is kooky but it's incredibly witty, and to replace that and all the character from Wonderland with the most generic fantasy "get sword, slay dragon" plot is a travesty. It also looks disgusting. Might the worst movie I've ever seen. Phooey.

Alice in Wonderland will always stick with me because the final scene is just that "Did Margaret Thatcher have girl power?" skit except played 100% straight.

"Yes little Alice, you can go join the East India Trading Company!"

I'd have to check the timeline but I think it's also the movie where people finally got sick of Johnny Depp's bullshit, especially but not exclusively in his collaboration with Burton. I haven't seen Alice... and even I wanted to punch the Mad Hatter in the face.

Haaaah I forgot that detail.

I don't think it would hold a candle to the original or be good, but American McGee's Alice was right there. Angsty Alice processing her trauma which gives you license to make Wonderland hosed up as she processes that grief. Grimdark is out of favor, rip dark universe, but that would still have been preferable to the poo poo Burton made, even if it also is very "get sword, slay dragon".

quote:

The Queens gather their armies on a chessboard-like battlefield and send Alice and the Jabberwocky to decide the battle in single combat. Alice beheads the Jabberwocky with the vorpal sword, and the red knights gratefully turn against their ruler. The White Queen banishes her sister and the Knave into exile together, then gives Alice a vial of the Jabberwocky's purple blood, which can fulfill one wish. Alice says farewell to her friends, then wishes to return home.

Alice awakens and escapes the rabbit hole, dirty and scratched from her fall. When she returns to the gazebo at the garden party, she refuses Hamish's proposal and impresses Lord Ascot with her idea of establishing trade routes to Hong Kong, inspiring him to take her on as his apprentice. As Alice prepares to set off on a trading ship, Absolem, in his new butterfly form, lands on her shoulder.

Matt Johnson made The Dirties essentially out of frustration with Van Sant's film Elephant, and also threw a lot of references to Spike Lee's Malcolm X in because he thought it was a piece of poo poo.

Watched The Dirties. Matt Johnson is such a fun force. Guy kind of plays the same character in every film (sans maybe Blackberry?) – a goofy daydreamer that's a little deranged – but he does it so well. 90% of his acting is a dumb smile, but he manages to portray a lot of depth behind that.

I'm really happy he's found a mainstream success in directing Blackberry, as it might mean he gets to make more crazy poo poo like The Dirties, Operation Avalanche, or the promised Nirvanna The Band The Movie.

Didn't expect them to fully commit to the promise of The Dirities, so was a hell of a gut punch when the climax came to. Good good flick.

Abigail wasn't the movie that I was expecting. Not any better or worse; just different. In any mainstream horror there will be silly, even cringey, elements. I thought it was going to be one of the films that try to turn these on their head and try to fit them into tasteful filmmaking. Instead it was one of those that lean into the tropes. At the same time there was one character we were actually meant to care about which sounds good but is awkward considering. And I guess I'm just not into a murderous preteen and a group of adults yelling gently caress you! I'll kill you! No, I'll kill you! at other for a minute straight. There was one character who was a POS I think everyone will despise and that is actually an accomplishment.

Now back to trying to finish Everything Everywhere All all At Once.

I feel like this is the second time Radio Silence have remade You're Next (the writer and director are name checked in the film, with Dan Steven's character IIRC) except every time they turn the blood bucket dial up further and further.

It isn't bad, but between that and Scream it might be nice to see them try and make a new type of film that's more their own thing.

I was going to try something similar but I can’t beat this.

If it’s misogynist and grim, and drives you insane, it’s the Dane. If they walk real slow and everyone’s cranky, it’s the Yankee.

Yours is better.

Tweet is misleading. From the article:

quote:

P.S.: I tried to pet the Scottie.
S.R.: Oh, man.
P.S.: The Scottie not only took out part of my thumb, he ate it.
S.R.: Did you have to go to the ER? I mean, how bad is it?
P.S.: Marty has an in-house nurse.


So this was the animal that ate his thumb:

The movies, and even more so television, have led me be believe that everything could be a job if you wanted it to be.

Dog matchmaker, therapeuric whip-cracking coach, hitman who only target other hitman to Avenue your loved ones who were their target, traffic cone refurbisher, making car emblems into bracelets, medium who only talks to people who spoke a different language.

It seemed like anyone could get people to pay them to do anything if they just found where the niche can flourish and were onstinant enough to neglect advice as to how terrible an idea was.
