I was watching Fury Road and had a sudden image of Treetrunks as the Mother with the seeds. I never knew till this moment how much I wanted a "Mad Max/Adventure Time" crossover series. Finn as Max. Jake as Nux. Tiffany as Slit.
Marceline as Furiosa. Various princesses (Hot Dog, Slime, Berry, etc.) as the wives. Bubblegum, Flame Princess, and Lady Rainicorn as the Vuvalini.
Tree Trunks as Keeper of the Seeds. Ice King as Immortan Joe. Gunther as Corpus Collusus. Susan Strong as Rictus Erectus. Peppermint Butler as the Organic Mechanic. AbracaDaniel as the Doof Warrior. LSP as the People Eater. Lemongrab as the Bullet farmer.
Banana Guards as the war boys. Candy Kingdom members as the populace.

I might want BMO as Nux, but then I don't know where Jake would go.
Banana Guard War Boys may be my new favourite thing.

Will Ferrell and John C. Reilly's comedy movies can be really hit or miss for me. But this looks incredibly stupid AND funny:
(Bonus - 1:40 is Hugh Laurie, apparently playing Mycroft! And Steve Coogan playing...someone not yet in the IMDb credits!)

A Simple Favor - This was really fun and a good mix of comedy and drama. Anna Kendrick can make almost anything fun.

Sometimes Netflix adds movies that I used to have in my defunct DVD queue to streaming queue when they become available. This month my list includes Gone Baby Gone, a movie I never got around to seeing. Occasionally I see Babel there too, but that's just never going to happen.

The longer I have Netflix, the more I have had to own up to my movie preferences. If users had the ability to separate their queues, mine would be titled "middling new action or comedy movie you will watch instantly", "Favorites that are here for you to rewatch for the 1000th time or to force Netflix to give you more accurate movie recommendations", "Important award-winning dramas that everyone is talking about, but who are you kidding? Most of these will leave Netflix before you get around to watching it"

Scorsese would catch a lot more flak for gratuitous use of the n-word if Tarantino weren't blotting out the sun in that department.

I really, really, really want DC to copy Marvel's approach to Black Panther and make an "Icon and Rocket" movie. I'll take Static if I have to, but it really is Icon's time to shine and the messages from his comics would really touch in issues today in America. DC has a really unique opportunity. I mean, I doubt they have the balls to do it, but the second issue of Icon was basically him and his sidekick wailing on a whole bunch of racist cops who didn't want his assistance since he got in the way of their brutality. I mean, it would make people uncomfortable but it raises the important questions of when should someone with power get involved when their society is shit, rather just focusing on super-powered villains or chasing street criminals. I want a superhero willing to fight a corrupt City Hall if they have to.

We saw the new Halloween movie today. It got me thinking about the contrasts between some movie villains. Especially the ones in movie mental institutions. On one end of the spectrum you have Michael Myers, silent, relentless. Shows no emotions whatsoever. Seems to have no plan, but operates on pure instinct and opportunity. Never interacts with anybody except to kill them. Pretty much a blank slate of evil. Jaws on dry land. Dresses simply, jumpsuit or coveralls. Two escapes in 55 years.
On the other end, you have Hannibal Lechter. Loves to talk, especially about himself. Manipulates people for his amusement. Extremely intelligent. Given to the odd moment of sentiment. Intricate, long term planning. Dresses stylishly (when not wearing prison duds or somebody else's face). Only escaped once, but made it stick. Somewhere in the middle, you have the Joker. Totally batshit crazy. Emotional and intelligent,yet extremely unstable in both. Makes elaborate, complicated plans, but doesn't mind changing them to take a moment to kill somebody or blow shit up. Clothing style is ironically ironic. Escapes 3 or 4 times a week.
I want to see a remake of "Dawn of the Dead" with those three as the characters holed up in the mall against the zombie hoard. Maybe get Tarantino to direct.

The 2005 Producers was on, and I wasn't really watching it (it feels like one of the least necessary remakes of all time), so right when I was about to change the channel, JOHN FRICKING BARROWMAN comes out singing "Springtime for Hitler," with his hair peroxided to Spike-ian extremes. I had no idea who he was when I saw it originally (probably around 2006), so I was kind of floored that I had no idea he had been in it.

He really makes an impact though since I remember his cheery singing more than like 98% of the movie. Plus, I keep thinking back on that scene because I have a business trip to Dusseldorf and that lyric in the song is about the only thing I know about the city. I hope to meet a Rolf.

Who is this...why would you...what's the...? Huh. Ryan Reynolds deserves to go to jail for movie crimes. I was familiar with the premise of this, and was pretty wary already, but the moment I heard Ryan Reynold's terrible garbage voice, I managed to develop more antipathy towards this project than I thought was possible for me. Also, the Pokemon anime has already canonically established that Mr. Mimes can say their own name, so fuck off, movie, that silent Mr. Mime charades bit is bullshit.

On a scale of 1 to 10, with one being totally fine and 10 being completely insane, how crazy would it be to pay* to see Alfonso Cuaron's film "Roma" on the big screen if it will be on Netflix a week later?
*Considering the fact that I can barely afford rent this month.

2 imo. I don't know if I'm going to have the chance here but I'd do the same thing. I don't want to watch a hyped movie from an A-list director meant for the big screen on my shitty TV with no one discouraging me from using my phone.

I don't want to watch a hyped movie from an A-list director meant for the big screen on my shitty TV with no one discouraging me from using my phone. This was both what I was hoping for and also not. Because a local theatre is indicating they will screen “Roma” starting on December 7th. All the reviews on this indicate that it is excellent and the reviewers (and Cuaron) are saying it should be seen on the big screen preferably with Dolby Atmos sound. The theatre here that is saying they will screen it does have Dolby Atmos. This is incredibly tempting. I am seriously short on money. I was sort of hoping for people to tell me it was crazy. But so far a friend has texted me to say he will come with me and now you are rating it a 2. May be time to empty my coin jar and see if I can come up with $12-14.

Update to above:
In a somewhat shocking result, my informal poll of friends and co-workers on whether buying tickets to see "Roma" on the big screen is crazy or not resulted in a 15-2 landslide win in favor of seeing it on the big screen.
In fact, when I explained what the film is to a couple of Latino co-workers, they indicated they may also pay to see it. More evidence in favor of "representation matters". These two guys were very interested to hear a Spanish-language movie with all Mexican actors, a Mexican director and set in Mexico was an Oscar Best Picture contender.
I managed to get the local theater company to confirm on Twitter today that they will be screening "Roma" starting 12/6. The indie/art house theater is now only 6 miles from where I live. There are no showtimes listed yet. But, my friend and I are both available on 12/8, so we are going to see it. Woo! A whole 6 days before it is released on Netflix.
I'm excited! Can't wait to find out if it lives up to the hype.

One of my favorite movies of all time is "The Good, The Bad, and the Ugly". I will stop and watch it pretty much any time I get the chance. One of the most powerful scenes, to me, was when Tuco was being savagely beaten to get the whereabouts of the gold. The contrast of the horrific violence with the sad, melodic song played by the camp musicians, and especially the reactions of those players knowing of the torture being inflicted, encapsulates perfectly the horrors, the cruelty, the misery and the helplessness of being pawns in the midst of the chaos and senselessness of war.
I could never hear the lyrics of the song they played clearly enough to understand them. I looked for years before stumbling onto a recording of it just yesterday, complete with lyrics.
It is sad and beautiful, and every bit as bitter and powerful a condemnation of the insanity of war as anything else in the movie, or anywhere else, for that matter.
"More Feeling!"
