    A studio made a big dumb weird absurd comedy stuffed with jokes. Truly overflowing with jokes. I’m so happy. If everyone sees this maybe they’ll make some more. Thank fucking god!

    NOTE: tone is bonkers in a wonderful way- feels like the intersection of the scenes in Not Another Teen Movie that parody She’s All That, the sight gags in Airplane, the scene in Orange County where all the girls start doing a synchronized dancto Crazytown, and the line in Wet Hot American Summer where David Hyde Pierce exclaims, “oh, fuck my cock.”

    I shut off my DVD screener of this after the opening party sequence because I thought I needed to see it on a giant screen and I was right. I loved this. So funny, so profane, the Boogie Nights-ification of Singing In The Rain I didn’t know I needed. Margot Robbie career best. Tobey Maguire incredible. Rory Scovel!!!! It makes me sick thinking people will be looking at their phones while this plays on HBOMax in the background in 3-6…

    It is so so so funny how long it takes to establish  the premise. It’s almost excruciating but it’s ultimately worth the wait. It’s starting to be a huge plus to me that the true stars of these movies are chains, barb wire, warehouses, LED digital clocks, and viscera. Also the end credits don’t have a nu metal song playing over them? Saw is growing up 😭.

    As someone who didn't love Miracle Mile as much as I wanted to, I’m happy that LA finally has its own (meta) answer to After Hours. Beautiful to look at, too. What a feat to take on a feature as s labor of love and slowly discover it in the edit and in slowly shooting over a few years of weekends. Seek this one out.

    In college I took a playwriting class and my final project was a piece called Fighting. It was a collection of three scenes in which pairs of people are, yes, fighting. One was a violent physical altercation between two guys going at it after a botched robbery, one was a farce where two British men quibble about something (I genuinely forget), and one was, regretfully, a breakup scene between a couple who just can’t make it work because if memory serves…

    What if I told you that a studio comedy comes out this week with a terrible trailer, no word of mouth/buzz, seemingly no marketing budget/campaign to speak of, and it’s actually quite good??*

    I don’t understand what happened. This movie is just extremely solid throughout.  Hamm does a phenomenal job of embodying the character mostly because his funniest moments are smaller than you might be used to with Comedy Hamm. He’s kind of doing something closer to those moments where…
