The Phoenician Scheme
Wes Anderson hasn't been the same since his last original idea which was Isle of Dogs. Now it seems like all he cares about is putting Scarlett Johansen, Benecio Del Toro, and Benedict Cumberbach on screen with a bunch of quirk chungus jokes that he recycles 20+ times throughout his recent stories which all take place in some weird 40's/50's/70's America or Europe.
The scene with Bryan Cransten and their high stake game of HORSE is where I decided that I'm retarded for continuing to give his new stuff a chance.

Shoutout for the first reference of Quirk Changus I've seen here.
-
I need to learn the slur for the type of dude that Michael Cera always plays.
-
100% knew these kinds of meltdowns were coming and yet it still doesn't disappoint 😆

The Funhouse. 1981. Kids sleep overnight in the funhouse ride at a creepy carnival. Some boobs and scantily clad ladies. Starts off kinda slow as the kids meander through the carnival to check things out. Low on the gore. But some funny deaths.
-
Whatever Happened to Baby Jane?
Just a classic psychological horror flick with some campiness to it. Great movie. -
50th anniversary screening of Jaws. First time I’ve seen it on the big screen.
-
Dark Wolf the Terminator list is out on Prime. Obviously a prequel because Pratt killed everyone in the original. OK so far. Centered more on Riggens. Typical corrupt Iraq war shadow government fare
Watched Catch Me If You Can again. Love that movie. Also Two Guns with Marky Mark and Denzel
-
Did Race keep watching the Alien show? I think it's gotten better.
-
I just hit delete for good today. Boring and slow
-
All Wes Anderson movies are dorky nonsense.
-
That's what you've picked up on so far here? A free OnDemand Wes Anderson comment?
Fantastic Mr Fox was good. Get an imagination or kids or both.
-
Rewatching The Wire.
Cant say it’s really held up.
-
Watched a documentary on Prime called My Generation - Michael Caine as the narrator.
London circa 1960s was about as cool as it gets. Drop dead gorgeous chicks, fashion, rock and roll and copious amounts of mind altering substances.
-
Finished The Yogurt Shop Murders - one of the most frustrating doc series' you'll see like that because (spoiler) it really seems like they have no clue who actually did it or ever will. On top of that, guys who probably didn't do it spent a lot of time in prison.
I haven't looked into it yet, but a problem I sometimes have with docs like this is sometimes they leave out incriminating stuff about the people who were falsely convicted - like Making A Murderer and West Memphis Three. Whereas they didn't deserve to be convicted they paint it like they were just 100% accused for no reason when that's not necessarily the case.
-
Brazil - an old movie by one of the Monty Python guys. Looks at what the future of England would be in a very dark, dysfunctional world.
Looks pretty accurate, thought police, bureaus of every kind.
-
Hamilton. No homo, I was entertained enough and it made me read about him and what he did.
-
-
She's great but I'm not going to go see her new movie where the Rock looks like he's about to explode into a giant volcano of orange jello if you poke him with a needle.

MI 7 Dead Reckoning…
While I need to wait to see Final Reckoning before I update my final Mission Impossible Power Rankings, MI2 is still the worst of the bunch.
-
I watched that recently for the first time. It was pretty good. #1 Wes Anderson movie imo.
-
I have a hard time re-watching shows but I can’t imagine seasons 3 and 4 not being great.
-
Watched Mission Impossible: Final Reckoning last night. Ended up buying the digital version which is a bit of a waste because unlike Predator or Die Hard (the other movies I “own” digitally), I’ll probably not watch this again. For the record, Predator is always downloaded on my phone for plane watching.
A couple of critiques of the last 2 movies:
- the villain was cheesy (the guy, not the AI)
- Unless I missed it, there was never an explanation of the woman killed by the villain in Tom Cruise’s past
- The admiral played by huge breasted Hannah Waddington has some connection to Tom Cruise’s character but I had no idea what that connection was
- The last 2 movies introduce some weird “choice” narrative about the IMF that is never mentioned in the previous 6 movies
I did enjoy the bringing back of old characters that tied into the original movie and the suspense, even though you know Cruise will succeed, is impressive.
So here is my final MIPR (Mission Impossible Power Rankings):
5

And Isle of Dogs. The problem is that he has to make all his chud movies so that he can enough credit and money to make his great family movies. Otherwise look at the ani-slop you get stuck with from Pixar and whoever else nowadays. I'm not sitting through some goofy groomer Disney thing for 2 hours.
-
Unknown Caller doc on Netflix. I'm a sucker for these true crimish shitty docs. Won't spoil. but the eventually villain is a fucking winner. They've done a better job of not making all of these series' because this one is kind of a stretch even at like 90 minutes.
-
I don't know how fucked up I'd need to be to have any interest in seeing Tron Ares or HIM but it would probably be somewhere at liver failure.
HIM feels like what someone who hates football and wants it to die would think is a good film about the sport. Which reminds me that there's another 100 or so people I need to mute that are fluffing Jordan Peele again.
-
Who the fuck is HIM for? I remember the trailer playing before a movie I was seeing and for .5 seconds I was like, cool, a football movie and then drek unfolded. Football fans don't want to watch some generic probably negative and cliche football version of Whiplash, non-football fans are going to be hard to sell on a football movie.
Football is probably the most popular thing in America and the sports and its demographic is hilariously ignored by Hollywood.
-
The worst part about it is going to be when kids, parents, coaches and mostly importantly all the clout sludge start meming the fuck out of it.
-
Started the show Task. It's okay but it's pretty impossible to watch Mark Ruffalo, especially in something where he is supposed to be some kind of every man when he's a whiny rich fuck irl.
