It threw me off too, but under the plus sign, you actually have to scroll down in the popup list to find it.

I enjoyed Good Luck Have Fun Donât Die a lot more than I thought I would. itâs all over the place. a bewildering amount of stuff happens. its final act twist i spotted a hundred miles ahead of time. an extremely on the nose and reactionary plot (technology/AI bad, hollywood must save us). almost a rip off of Weapons structurally. but damn if Sam Rockwell isnât charismatic doing the Zaphod Beeblebrox thing here. whatever

Watched last yearâs The Running Man and Predator Badlands the past two nights. Had a good time with both, dumb fun.
Really want to see the Running Man.
Been told this dystopian slum is just bits of Glasgow with no set dressing

I found it to be quite bad, especially right after revisiting the original. Incoherent theme, I donât like that main actor guy at all I find him wooden and unconvincing in everything, Michael Cera playing like a parody Michael Cera role, none of it worked for me at all. Edgar Wright has never found the sauce again after Hot Fuzz, it seems he pretty quickly ran out of things he loved to make jokes about.

The monthly video store porn room screening yesterday was Tetsuo 3, which I dug even more than I remembered liking. I spun out on the icy expressway ramp on the way to the theater so see it when it first came out and I was worried I was forcing myself to like it to justify my near death when everyone else seemed to think it was a let down.
But naw it rules.

I thought the Worldâs End was really good but it also seems like that movie left no trace in popular culture

See I love Edgar Wright up through Last Night in Soho he was all bangers for me. But Running Man was a big disappointment personally. Felt like a pretty boring studio reboot for most of it and never hit the highs Iâm used to from his movies.

I did not like the new running man. I like the lead but it lacked good action set pieces.

The Great Flood (Netflix, 2025)
Water rises, gotta go fast to reach higher ground â sounds like your typical run-of-the-mill disaster action flick, until it decides to be a bit different. And thatâs all one should know about it tbqh! Donât read up on anything, or watch recaps, thatâs the best you can do to get the most out of it. Nothing ground-breaking, but if you know your korean movies/shows, you can enjoy a few well-staffed choices.
Why mentioning then?
well, loved what it did, especially in the latter half, and a few questions it throws up w/o hollywooding those to death made it a fun time. Give it a shot if you can!

Watched two movies today that oddly had some things in common? Came out last year (well, one languished unreleased for three years), remakes of an 80s cult classic, both have characters played by women of short stature under a ton of makeup and get dubbed over by men?
Anyway, second movie first: The Toxic Avenger. Itâs been so long since Iâve seen the original, but I guess it doesnât matter much since it doesnât follow that movie much at all. It was alright I guess. Had some good laughs, some fun gore. Wasnât half as nauseating as it was hyped up to be, but I guess thatâs alright.
First movie was Deathstalker. Never seen the Corman original, but I was curious why I never heard about this coming out but it has such high reviews, and then I read it was by the director of Psycho Goreman and everything clicked. It rules. Itâs incredibly dumb but it knows it, thereâs a ton of practical effects and makeup work. Thereâs a scene with two wizards having a proxy battle via stop motion animated skeletons. What more can ya ask for.

Saw Friendship today. Great movie, painful in the best way. Tim Robinson is great as just the most awkward man alive.

Just watched Break the Game, the Narcissa Wright documentary. I wasnât familiar with her or her story at all, but this movie was pretty good. Very hard to watch at points, seeing someone go through a lot of dark shit in such a public way. Iâve never really been comfortable with game streaming culture, and this movie shines a bright light on some of the worst places that stuff can go. D_Gurl seemed like a really cool person, Iâm glad they got to meet and hang out irl. The movie was edited pretty effectively; in particular I thought it did a good job working the Twitch chat into the narrative. It leaned pretty hard on animated pixel art (but who am I to say that, lol), but the art was charming enough to make it work imo.

Been hearing a lot, I guess mostly sorta positive, about those 28 Years Later movies, so I figured Iâd try watching 28 Weeks Later, after being kinda ehhh on 28 Days Later, uh, 26 years ago.
I remember 28WL being kinda decently reviewed back when and I guess it isâŚOK. Sorta. Maybe itâs actually kinda bad? The gist of the story is OK but the execution just feels sloppy and the characters are all kinda paper thin. Itâs hard to be scared by a horror movie when they just sorta put the camera on a mechanical bull every time the action heats up. Thereâs a whole part of the movie thatâs so fucking dark thatâs itâs impossible to make out whatâs going on, and it is ironically easier to see the action in the scene where it is supposed to be dark and youâre not supposed to be able to see whatâs going on.
Not sure what they were going for with the aerial overhead of the burning city making a face in the flames. Was that supposed to be the shitty zombie dad or terrible American accent Idris Elba.
I guess it doesnât matter. Iâll probably forget the whole thing 28 hours later.
