Saw a double feature of Fitzcarraldo and Burden of Dreams today. Iâm fond of the former, and the latter was formative when I studied documentary back in the day. Great movies. Seeing them back to back was a treat. You can really wallow in the intense parallels between the production of Fitzcarraldo and its plot.
The owner of the incredible (and now sadly closed) Sarasota independent video rental store Video Renaissance told me that one time Les Blank just randomly rolled up with a box of tapes of all his films and gave them to the store. King.

I once took a friend along to a double feature of Fitzcarraldo and Burden of Dreams and he didnât stick around for the second movie because he is ânot that interested in filmmaking.â I guess his frame of reference was promotional DVD making of featurettes. No, I said, itâs a famous documentary, arguably even better than the movie itâs about! I couldnât convince him to stay. You fool⌠you foolâŚ

seemed right to give the caligula re-edit a go
had forgotten how wacky the set design is
the sound design is godawful though, all these high-definition moody synth patches and lustful groans couldnât be more tacked on if they literally had a protools rig in shot at all times, wtf were they thinking
old movies need to sound old!!

Watched The Hitman on netflix. It was a lovely little film that was part thriller, part romantic comedy. Itâs written and directed by Richard Linklater, and unburdened by box office expectations or marketing that goes with it. Itâs not great, but it was good, and I liked Linklaterâs other stuff, and other things with Glen Powell, so I enjoyed it enough to recommend it here.

I saw Twisters in 4dx because the internet kept telling me it was good (AI marketing bots of the future are gonna fuck me up so bad).
I think the movie was not particularly interesting BUT the 4dx absolutely makes up for it in a big way. You will believe youâre in a mf tornado. The person sitting next to me had a bottle of Pepsi that got shaken up so much that when they opened it during the middle of the movie it exploded all over them. 10/10 experience.

It is one of those annual âi need to watch La La Land againâ-days today, and as always, it still makes me go 
and 
and i 
looooove it so, so much.
Hope that yâall have one movie in your life that can move you like that! 
National Anthem is great
even though I downloaded it by accident thinking it was the Paul Walter Hauser / Sydney Sweeney movie that was also named National Anthem until they had to rename it for its forthcoming wide releaseâŚ
I just went to Deadpool and Wolverine. I liked it! I liked its stupid jukebox soundtrack. I thought the fight scenes were cool and readable. I liked all the references. One was absolutely fantastic as a running joke.
I think the Deadpool movies operate on the same level of reality that I do that you can always be looking for a joke and simultaneously be sincere. Itâs not the character being funny for the audience it is the character being funny for themselves.
So yeah I can relate to an incredible unkillable athelete assassin who also feels like they havenât accomplished anything and hides it behind never ending jokes and honest sincerity that reads like a joke because of how often they do jokes. Deadpool really does just like his friends.
There are like 10 out of 50 too many blowjob references.
A positive 3 out of 5 Wolverines.

The Furiosa disc has some pretty good making-of features, one of which is just about the stowaway scene. That 15-minute scene took 78 shooting days.

Speaking of, finally got around to watching Furiosa. I was very âwhat whyâ when it got announced, but I was a fool to count George Miller out. Movie ruled.
Itâs too bad we wonât have people fondly imitating Hemsworthâs Dementus like Hardyâs Bane. âSuper whiny nasal villainâ is such a wild choice but it works.
Also watched the Marvel the Shell movie, since thatâs leaving Netflix soon. Itâs cute. I dunno. I enjoyed the little YouTube shorts years ago, but thatâs probably as much of the character as I needed, it doesnât really work for over an hour.
