i wrote once that synecdoche new york is the greatest script ever written.
today i can safely say that is no longer true
crowd was so loud that I didn't hear the film --
will rw in order to hear any of the film's sound.
“I don’t NEED a weapon! I AM the weapon.”
I have to start this review by thanking Neil Breen for screening this movie in theaters. This was, by far, the best theatrical experience of my lifetime. Rancorous eruptions of laughter followed by audible gasps of shock ensued throughout the entirety of the runtime.
Twisted Pair, for those of you who had doubts over its intention, is a classic Neil Breen film. The same stilted dialogue, unnatural acting, and use of stock footage we have come to love is present in Twisted Pair.
In a myriad of ways, this is Breen’s best work by far. The production value here is far superior to anything we’ve seen from him before. The editing…
I’ve figured it out... Neil Breen is the living embodiment of chaotic neutral. He is the only filmmaker in cinema history also (as far as I know), to include a central stealth messiah figure in every single one of his feature films. There isn’t anything stealthy about it either, but the films are all the better for it.
I am now complete.
Anyone I've ever interacted with: Hey, it's good to see you agai-
Me: I NEVER HAD A BEARD
Some movies come at a point in time in our lives where we need it most. They become a warm blanket to comfort us and brighten our spirits when we're depressed. Then there are other movies that hit us deeply in the soul. Making us use our brain to unpack and digest what the filmmaker is trying to say.
Twisted Pair is a film by Neil Breen.
Five films into his career and Neil Breen still continues to cement himself as the Orson Welles of so bad it's good filmmaking. Forget Tommy Wiseau, he is the undisputed king. Twisted Pair marks yet another flawless work of sheer Breen-ius. Everything you expect from the maestro is all in here: The hilariously on-the-nose commentary on how corporations and everything having to do with the government and politics are evil, the endlessly incomprehensible and nonsensical plot, the wildly absurd dialogue that ranges from pretentious and meaningless to repetitive and downright gut-bustingly alien in the way it's both written and delivered, the amateur low-budget special effects that would earn the James Nguyen seal of approval. Everything's in here, and I mean…
Oh my god, how boring.
Seriously, this was definitely the toughest one to get through in my opinion. The movie is so dark it's hard to see anything. The green screens are abundant. I lost focus about 30 times throughout the whole thing. I feel like a dumber person now. I didn't understand wtf was going on at all in this, it seriously operates on a different dimension than the one we live in. I can't handle it with my small little mind.
Breen plays two characters in this one, and it's his chance to really flex those acting chops. Only he doesn't really. He has to laugh on command for the first time ever, so that surprised me. I've…
Some thoughts on the master’s latest picture:
- It’s become a trademark for Breen to kick off his films with a documentary-style voiceover of the film’s premise, accompanied by fast-paced “B-roll” imagery. It feels like the vibrant opening minutes of Scorsese’s Goodfellas, but Breen’s DIY ethos makes it all the more impressive. In Breen’s older films, these expository moments were dominated by stock footage, but Twisted Pair continues Breen’s shift toward bonafide special effects-laden spectacle. In this film, Breen takes us beyond Earth to a spiritual realm, but also flaunts his proficiency with computer-generated imagery to demonstrate the perils of the technology-saturated time we live in.
- Twisted Pair is Neil Breen’s superhero movie. It’s a “one for them”-type film…
