I was extremely disappointed with Maxxxine. Like “wtf was that?” Leaving the theater. Liked X a lot, loved Pearl, love Mia Goth, love the grimy 80s aesthetic. Should have been a home run for me.
McMahon series is great. I haven’t kept up with that since the 80s and now I feel like I’m completely caught up. I had no idea about 90% of those storylines and “eras”. The WCW stuff was interesting. They pull very few punches on Vince imo - for a show that features him. I think the bigger point was - does the fan base care? No.
Speaking of Demi - just got out of The Substance. That was the wildest shit I’ve seen in the theater in years. If you are in to body horror at all - it’s a must see. Demi looks great and Margaret Qualley - good lord. Andie McDowell’s daughter.
I enjoyed this just fine. It’s another pretty good horror movie with a Hollywood ending that I won’t remember really in a couple years. The original wasn’t an amazing movie either - but I will always remember how I felt after I watched it. Brutal.
I think this is how I’ll rank and tier recent horror although it changes often. 1-13 were great. Longlegs Alien Romulus Strange Darling The First Omen Abigail The Devil’s Bath Cuckoo Oddity Exhuma Immaculate A Quite Place Day One In a Violent Nature Lisa Frankenstein I Saw the TV Glow Trap Maxxxine Lowlifes Arcadian Horror in the High Desert 3 Tarot Under Paris
AMC A-List is an awesome use of $20/month. I get 12 movies, discounts on guest tickets (certain days), points to use, etc. Dolby at Clearfork in Fort Worth is a great screen. Loud as hell for us old fucks that can’t tell what people are saying.
Very sad. She was on another level talent-wise. I think her parents had her doing standup at 10. Wasn’t the rumor she had a kid with that Nickelodeon fuck?
Another film I put in the same category as Burn After Reading is The Informant. Didn’t blow me away the first time I saw it but I’ll watch it every time I run across it and enjoy it every time. Mark Whitacre, Secret Agent 0014. Because he’s twice as smart as 007.
