Saw this movie in theaters back when it came out, opening weekend. Awful movie. This was the one good bit.

I’m GEN-X and “Charles Manson” has always been synonymous with “evil incarnate”, but I do wonder about his legacy for a longer course of time.

These Disney remakes keep reminding me of Gus Van Sant’s 1998 “shot-for-shot remake” of Hitchcock’s PSYCHO.

I wonder how this movie plays for someone who’s not familiar with the specifics of the Manson murders.

I think THIS is the real reason this movie’s a big deal.  Cinematic immortality.

SAME THING happened to me YEARS ago — coincidentally when I was around 27.  It was me and my gf at the time, both with NY State drivers licenses visiting Chicago.  It was surprising especially because you wouldn’t think New Yorkers visiting Chicago would be such an exotic species.  The bartender eventually relented…

I want her to pull a Linda Hamilton.  I want to see her completely transformed.

I’d like to see some Love & Thunder & Beta Ray Bill...

“Gemini Man” is one of those development hell projects that’s floated around Hollywood for decades with different stars and directors attached at various times. Now that it’s finally been made, I think it looks a bit... underwhelming.

My understanding is that the Marvel stuff is essentially digital plastic surgery. Filming the actor and doing some digital nip/tuck. There’s an industry that does this — not just for dramatic de-aging film/tv sequences but for every-day situations where they want to touch up the actor. It’s like an extension of…

Cats wouldn’t be Cats if it didn’t look like it crawled out of the uncanny nexus between furrydom and interactive theater, and like it or not, there’s no chance in hell the studio’s going to try to change much about the movie at this point.

She’s the IRON MAN of the Millennial Fraudster Avengers. (Billy McFarland is... I don’t know... Iron Fist, maybe...)

Yeah, it’s a weird tease. I think it’s because they don’t have the rights to the photo, but if a non-employee posts it in the comments, it’s okay...

Animation I made.

I loved VICE PRINCIPALS.

It’s weird because I feel like I’ve seen glimpses of growth from his filmmaking over the years, but it’s largely been a backslide into juvenilia. And worse. It’s like he had this near-death experience and decided he doesn’t want to try to be a serious (or better)  filmmaker—he just wants to hang out with his friends…

Endings are GOOD.

It’s a weird because it’s still a very theatrical LOOK. They don’t look or move like actual cats. They still look like people playing as cats. But they’ve become more... cat PEOPLE here. The CG saves them some time on attaching fur and probably helps them animate the ears/tails.

What’s fascinating — and perhaps expected — is that they kind of maintain the aesthetic of the original Broadway show. A late 70s aesthetic favoring tights and leg-warmers.
