I’ve reconsidered: Primal is 5/5 Cages, on par with Mandy or Faceoff. It’s got a romantic subplot with a chemistry that actually kinda works, it’s got a legitimately clever bit where a talking parrot tips off Nic Cage. There’s a legit tense Mexican standoff. There’s so smuch in this movie. It seems to cram Con-Air, Under Siege, Alien and Dr. Dolittle together seamlessly. I will defend this as an S-tier Nic Cage movie.
Never been a bad remake of Freaky Friday. Not even when they try.
FD Signifier is an essential Atlanta-based voice for justice and abolition in general, but his recent episode with Waving the Red Flag touches on assault allegations involving Jonathan Majors.
Y’all in this sub forum are some of the only guys I feel safe being around, but these guys talking things through shows me there are some good fellas elsewhere too.

Affleck, because directing seems more interesting than acting to me and he has made some pretty good ones.

I just clicked on the tweet and it took me to the thread. I kept hitting “show replies” since I don’t have an account and every 4th response is an ad
He’ll always be my favorite Superman.
His recent ad for Dunkin Donuts is as funny as that Paul Rudd bit in Role Models.
I like how he somehow does this delicate balancing act between acknowledging that you can’t help but experience “Ben Affleck” as pretty cool but also kinda LOL.

John Cazale is often pointed to as the actor with the best hit rate, but I think I have give that award to Peter Ostrum. His role as Charlie Bucket in Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory is his ONLY acting role. That’s it. 1.000 batting average.
He’s a veterinarian now.
(ok, I guess all five of Cazale’s feature films were nominated for Best Picture, so maybe he wins on OPS)

Fuck, it was a good run for indie horror but now Marvel has her hostage.

I’ll allow it for Blade, i forgot they were reviving that one. Can’t see it surpassing Wesley but I’ll probably watch it.

What I really want is a movie about the vampire council in WWDITS, with Tilda Swinton, Wesley Snipes, and Danny Trejo reprising their roles. What a movie that would be.

A smultzy feel good movie, but still a good movie. The actors are good but the script means that those great performances are in service of a middle of the line movie. Still I enjoyed it.
Tour de Pharmacy
9/10
A mockmentary of the 1982 Tour de France. It’s basically a Comedy Central skit show though, and a pretty good one.

I’m only 10 minutes in, but the sequel to Valley of the Dolls blows the doors off the original.

Infinity Pool gets a ehhh from me, 6/10 or so I guess. It has a lot of similar surreal, trippy Possessor shots but it falls flat towards the end while Possessor did the opposite. I’ll still watch any new Cronenberg Jr film because I did his style.
Why didn’t Roger Ebert write more movies? This is groovy as hell and the dialog is fantastic. The man knew how to write snappy banter.
We used to be a proper country. A country where Roger Ebert wrote quasi-pornographic movie scripts about topless chicks smoking grass and grooving out to Strawberry Alarm Clock. I mean, what happened. You just can’t make a movie like that anymore.
