Someone: Were you dropped on your head at birth?!
Beau: Yes, yes I was…
Happy A24 Day/Birthday to me! April 24th! A true A24er! I’ve been really anxious to see this and I would’ve seen it this past Thursday, when it came out, but I decided to wait for the special occasion(s)! It was a kaleidoscopic epic odyssey akin to aspects of many movies, which came before it, but is still totally its own experience and statement. Some of the…
Yeeaaahhh, this was an instant classic! The creators of this are so inventive! Complete ART! The way the animation transitioned constantly took some getting used to, but it was so so impressive! Sometimes it looked hand drawn, sometimes it looked computer animated, and sometimes it looked like claymation. Plus the Lego part was amazing! You knew you were in for something with the about 20 minute intro! A great soundtrack too, that had me bobbing my head and shaking my…
Halloween Season 2023 Watch #24:
This is my least favorite of these, but the concept and social commentary wasn’t bad, it just never felt like a Purge. Certainly not a “forever” or an “ever after” Purge and the social commentary was stronger in the others. I still hope that if they continue this franchise that they turn their attention more towards purging the politicians, as a way to turn the tide of the Purge, which is now out of control,…
Halloween Season 2023 Watch #23:
A high quality reboot starring Jessica Biel AKA Mrs. Timberlake! Seeing her was cool after delving back into *NSYNC music this past week with their reunion in motion! Anyway, that’s way off topic. I think I may have seen this before, way back when it came out, since I’ve always crushed on Jessica, but I don’t have too much recollection. It goes a little too slow and shows a little too little for too long,…
So I saw this at the NYC public premiere, where Gaspar Noe attended and gave a Q&A at the end! He introduced the film by saying, “I hope you cry.”! I didn’t cry, but I did feel deep despair! He also hung out in the lobby before and after! I got a picture with him before the film and got him to sign the book that came with my special edition of “Irreversible: The Straight Cut” afterward and asked him…
Man, I’m on a good run of films right now and all of them are from 2022! This was funny. It was sad. It was engaging. It was thought-provoking. It was emotional. Everything you want in a film! And great performances! That too! It reminded me of a falling out I had with an old friend, who ended up like Colm. Not as extreme of course, but he just abruptly cut things off, stopped answering phones and such. He did…
