The thing about the movie GLORIOUS (which my husband nailed after I explained the plot to him) is that it is another film where the mediocre straight white guy thinks his world has ended because he had a break up that was his fault. So he has a crisis and fails to use a glory hole in a rest stop bathroom for the entirety of the film.
And the film does indeed equate his crisis to the apocalypse so he's justified in thinking it is the end of the world.
I know the twist to his backstory, and that redeemed the film because I enjoyed that part. But still
Come on man.
That said, I liked Ryan Kwanten's performance. It was fine.

31 Horror Movies in March Day Fourteen: Glorious
I was not sure how to feel about this movie going in. But after sitting down to watch it, things were not as it completely appeared in the trailer and in the promotional material.
The movie plays with your expectations and switches a lot of things around on you. I do not want to spoil anything about this, because it's better to experience it.
Ryan Kwanten plays Wes, a man who's heartbroken about a relationship that's over and is living in his car. You learn about him more as he goes along and he acts so well, only giving bits and pieces of his story at a time. He gives such a good performance in this film.
And J.K. Simmons, yes the one who needs pictures of Spider-man, plays a cosmic deity residing in a restroom stall. He is only in the film via his voice, and he still delivers. His dialogue and his voice bring so much to the film.
That's all I want to say. This movie should be experienced as is. It was entertaining.

Glorious cast Just Kidding Simmons as an elder god and then said “well that’s done, guess we can do whatever we want now,” and I mean that as praise and affirmation.

31 Days of Halloween - Grab Bag Edition: Day 5 - Glorious
youtube
2022 has been a pretty great year for horror. Normally I would save the newer movies for another list, but as this is a grab bag list, there needs to be a few fresher cooler bits to nibble on don't you think? Ever wonder what it would be like to be stuck in a bathroom in the middle of nowhere with a mythos being conversing through a glory hole? No? Well honestly I didn't either but that doesn't stop this from being a fun as hell movie. I can't really go into plot but our hapless victim of poor life choices, Wes, is trapped in a very bad place with very dirty walls and a very respectable interdimensional creature asking for a favor. No I won't be spoiling what favor it is that is being asked for but rest easy that there are plenty of twists to be found in this closed room horror. Doesn't have a high body count but not all good horror needs that. If you are interested you can find Glorious on Shudder.

Watching Star Trek IV
Whale biologist: why do you hang around with that weird guy who calls you admiral and why are you so close?
Kirk: *hesitates*
Whale biologist, who lives in San Francisco in the 80s and is rapidly drawing many correct conclusions: that’s okay we don’t have to talk about it.

Ohhh boy wow. Just saw Challengers and my God my bisexual brain was firing all signals. Like within the first five minutes I realised 2 things about this movie. 1 it understands that tennis is a truly boring sport and instead makes it an incredibly sweaty, sexy, compelling game to watch. 2 this movie is bi as all hell and equally in love with all 3 of these people (as was I by the end of the movie).
SPOILERS:
God I was enraptured I think this films pretty subjective and can be seen in a few different ways but I just saw it as 3 people who think their playing the same game but none of them really are. Zendayas playing to win at Tennis, when she can't do it herself she plays through her husband. Art is playing to win the woman he thinks he loves and needs.
And Patrick is the most interesting of all, is he playing because unlike those two he actually needs to out of monetary needs? Maybe but doubt it. Is he playing to win Zendaya? And willing to be her champion unlike Art? Possibly but honestly I think it's the third option. He's playing to get back Art, Art is always a presense in their relationship and he puts him before himself. For sure the unusual sexual history between them is there. The strong friendship turned rivalry. The sheer sexual tension (Goddamn that churro!!) But oddly enough for the guy who may seem like the disloyal asshole type of the three he is both the most honest and oddly loyal. He may sleep with Zendaya but the second she asks him to throw the match? He's furious, he's insulted and refuses. But NOT for himself but for Art. His first words are "How could you do that to Art?" To cheapen his victory, if he were to know would crush Art. Art is always at the tip of his tounge and whats happening.
When they start making out in the dorm Zendaya won't stop talking about tennis but equally whats Patrick talking about? Art. When he finds out Arts not just interested in Zendaya but is acting snakey he's proud.
And god that sauna scene?? (I mean yeah its hot but I mean the dialouge!) He asks Art if he'd miss it and he completely doesn't understand what he's really asking. He once again is talking to somone who thinks their talking about tennis but he's talking about anything but.
I knew that bloody signal was gonna come back and when they had sex in the car I was like "okay this is it, he's gonna tell Art" but the question was.. will it be to hinder him? Make him lose his cool so he loses the game..? OR will he do it to truly spur Art into a game changing rage and unlock his fighting spirit? And as the scene unfolded I belived it was the latter. And it was NOT for Zendaya because he could've easily thrown the match like she said but NO he wanted Art to win fair and square. He wanted to help him do that.
That wordless communication they share? That Zendayas just sat on the outside of not undertanding but worried? Golden. The brutal match and then that gorgeous smile. When I think Art realises what his friend has done and really why he did it. And Patricks, the sheer joy of seeing Art smile at him again. That beautiful, fly through the air and that throw of his own racket down so he can catch Art as he gloriously wins the match. Because tennis was never really what mattered to Patrick, and neither was it really to Art. And despite it being Arts victory they've really both won.
And Zendayas roar of victory from the crowd to me was almost funny. Because she won too. Her husband, her extension of her own career and self won his match with his challenge. His/her past. She also sees it as a victory even though I really won't be suprised if it's lost her both her husband and her back up career/boyfriend. And maybe she won't mind that so much because she got what she wanted. Because she was playing a different game.
Also banging soundtrack, loved it. Also this is just my view of the film and it really can be read multiple ways I'm sure, would love to hear other peoples ideas on it! What can I say I just love some bi emotional drama!
Also Im seeing it again friday so any incorrect quotes, extra thoughts or such I'll probs fix then haha

okay so. monkey man was really good. if anyone wants to see dev patel with his giant sad wet eyes lead a small army of trans women hijra in a quest to murder the Shit out of a bunch of cops and fascist politicians...... YOU ARE IN SO MUCH LUCK.....
eta making this unrebloggable bc i've learned that hijra is a better term than trans women & would prefer the og doesn't circulate without this correction! everyone see this movie.
