Ape-ocalypse Now

The 'Citizen Kane' of silly movies. 

My Dad convinced me for years that the character of Patsy (played by Terry Gilliam) was actually played by Ian Fleming, author of the James Bond novels. 

An absurd thing to tell your son, and a very absurd movie. 
Well played, Dad.

HooOoOoOoOo boy.

After Thor Ragnarok, I was really beginning to feel the MCU Fatigue. I saw this at the midnight showing, and didn't really have high hopes.
This is a behemoth of a film, with an extremely tight screenplay. The Russo brothers have trimmed the fat off of any scenes for a fast paced adventure that is a true climax to ten years of build up. They've done something brave and bold with this, and I'm genuinely excited to see where it goes from here.

Responsible for many good Simpsons moments, and Rat Race.
Not sure it needed to be 163 minutes, but it's a lot of fun.

I love rewatching Lynch films with my brother who's watching for the first time. 

Brother five minutes before starting - "It can't be THAT weird". 

Brother five minutes after finishing - "I never want to watch that ever again". 

True art.

Rewatched with the WHM podcast commentary track on. I was definitely caught up with over excitement on first viewing, but I still think this is a fun, stupid space romp.
