two movies i desperately wish more people were aware of but never get a chance to recommend to people:

jesus christ: vampire hunter. it's about the literal jesus christ being summoned from his beach vacation to save ottowa's lesbians from vampires. he is accompanied by el santo (or at least a parody impersonator of el santo the masked wrestler) and at one point stakes vampires with toothpicks. he also fights a clown-car full of atheists and there's a random musical number halfway through. it's a love letter to 70s kung fu movies and it is unironically one of my favorite things ever. i just bought the "special edition" DVD because i needed a new copy after i wore my old one out.

kamikaze girls. based on a book by the same name (that i also love dearly), this little romp is about a selfish, standoffish girl who really loves lolita fashion accidentally becoming friends with a dumb biker chick in rural japan after selling her fake designer goods from her dad's failed yakuza business. which is also why they moved to rural japan in the first place. anyway, hijinks ensue, and the lolita girl turns out to be an embroidery wizard. this wizardry saves the day, but the only lesson she learns from it is "i guess other people aren't THAT bad." she's still selfish and standoffish and generally terrible, and i love that for her. i also had to buy a blu-ray copy because i wore out my DVD copy from watching it literally hundreds of times.

(the lolita girl is even more terrible in the book, for which i love her even more. it's so refreshing to see a girl protag just be unashamedly unconcerned with anything but her own happiness--which in her case is to collect beautiful clothes, never get a job, and live a sweet and dreamy life alone.)

Edit:

actually, a THIRD movie i adore but never get to recommend to people:

abraham lincoln vs. zombies. it's a mockbuster released around the time the vampire lincoln one was released, and it features an actor playing the absolute shit out of honest abe like he's in an oscar bait docu-drama. unironically the best abe lincoln portrayal i have ever seen, and he's mowing down confederate zombies left and right while having a complex emotional arc involving an old lover and just generally being awesome.

the effects are mostly practical, and while it's super low-budget, they do a phenomenal job with what they have. the movie simultaneously doesn't take itself seriously at all and also manages to deliver some heavy dramatic scenes that don't feel out of place despite the absolute insanity of the premise. i have yet to buy a hard copy of this one, but i really need to get on that.

#kamikaze girls #jesus christ vampire hunter #jesus christ: vampire hunter #good bad movies #or i guess good weird movies #abraham lincoln vs. zombies #edited to add the third movie

so, like, these two films:

Are pretty solid films and I don’t think they get appreciated enough.

Unstoppable, starring Denzel Washington, Chris Pine and Rosario Dawson is essentially about a rogue speeding train that has to be taken care of before it derails in a populated area. Set in the modern era.

The Finest Hours, starring Chris Pine and Casey Affleck, is mostly about the rescue operation of the surviving crew of a T-2 Tanker that split in half at sea in a storm.

I love both of them. I think they’re great.

No, I am not just saying that because Chris Pine is in them, even though he’s a pretty good actor in both. He just happens to be the glue that is tying these two movies to this post.

Now, are they perfect movies? No, but they introduce and handle high stakes fairly well and the scripts are pretty good. Also, who doesn’t love a good-bad movie, or a feel-good rescue/disaster movie?

I have rewatched Unstoppable about three times and Finest Hours about five. I will probably watch them again sometime in the future.

(To me, they are almost on the same lovability as The Day After Tomorrow with Dennis Quad, Jake Gyllenhaal, Sela Ward, and Emmy Rossum, about a man traveling to save his son in a sudden new ice age, but that movie can be talked about in an entirely different post).

These movies just have a special place in my heart and they will never leave. In fact, they take up a corner of my brain rent free. I’m keeping them there.

for anyone too young to know this: watching The Truman Show is a vastly different experience now, compared to how it was before youtube and social media influencers became normal

before it was like, "what a horrifying thing to do to a human being! to take away their autonomy and privacy, all for the sake of profits! to create fake scenarios for them to react to, just to retain viewership! to ruin their happiness just so some corporate entity could harvest money from their very humanity! how could anyone do something so evil?"

and now it's like, "ah, yeah. this is still deeply fucked up, but it's pretty much what every influencer has been doing to their kids for a decade now. probably bad that we've normalized this experience"

#the truman show #sbs rambles #I keep thinking about how children on popular youtube channels should probably have laws to protect them #social workers assigned to them maybe #I dunno #they did not sign up to have their lives sold for profit #but here we are #tho #I guess none of us signed up for it #and our data is harvested more than ever #god #high-tech capitalism sucks turns out #OH WAIT because tumblr is bad at getting context sometimes #let me specify: #I am not saying that the movie The Truman Show is bad or that it normalizes this #like all good sci-fi (because it is kind of sci-fi) it's there to warn us of what the future could hold #and it did that in a very good way - it's a beautiful movie #I could see someone with a bad faith take assuming I meant that it was part of the problem #it absolutely wasn't. it didn't normalize this; we did #youtube did and social media #it's us that's the problem #or more specifically: big corporations and a lack of regulation #that's the origin of most modern problems

I feel the need to periodically remind people that Idiocracy is a eugenics movie.

One of the things that eugenicists believe is that it is bad for society when the “wrong people” breed.

The entire premise of the movie is that “stupid people” kept having kids while “smart people” didn’t have kids, and it ruined society because stupid genes propagated while smart genes died out. This is eugenics propaganda.

I know people will read this and their response will be “actually it’s satire” but the movie isn’t satirizing eugenics. It’s satirizing anti-intellectualism, and consumerism, and it proposes eugenics as a solution.

When eugenics was first conceived, it was used as a way to justify inequality. The idea was that people who held privilege were able to do so because they were smarter and genetically superior to lazy and stupid people who don’t have privilege. Obviously this is bad and wrong, but it is also the core lesson of Idiocracy.

The movie literally ends with the main character becoming president and having “the smartest children in the world.” Because he and his wife have smarter genes than everyone else. The proposed solution for the things that Idiocracy is satirizing is for the smart people to have children that can be in charge of the world.

I know it’s fun to use this movie to dunk on anti-intellectualism and the MAGA movement, but we need to stop. When you quote and reference this movie you are spreading eugenics propaganda.

#remember yall #eugenics is bad #and anything that says a certain type of person shouldn’t have kids is probably eugenics #even if they don’t realize it #so let’s stop holding this movie up as some great prophetic work #because it’s not #also good lord they say the r word a lot in that movie #and it’s super gross #ugh I hate this movie

When MatPat came on screen I freaked out (in a good way) and got so light headed I missed the entire conversation and almost passed out until he said "But that's just a theory-" which shocked me out of it like a sleeper agent code word

#fnaf #fnaf movie #fnaf spoilers #fnaf movie spoilers #matpat #had a good time! #movie was alright. some parts bad. many plot holes #but the animatronic moments were easily the best part and made it super enjoyable #both the sweet moments and the killing moments #i had to ask my friend afterwards why matpat said “that's just a theory” because i did legit almost black out #i haven't watched matpat in years btw

The defintion of hell is knowing a show is incredibly well-received in its first season, but if people don’t become machines churning out tweets, content, and rewatching 24/7, there’s no likelihood it’ll get a chance to tell its whole story. This shit is madness. Shows in different genres shouldn’t have to pit-battle for dominance. First seasons are MEANT to be baselines establishing worlds and characters, not complete storylines. The idea that this golden age of television has turned into “get it done in one or get out” is revolting.

#the sandman #paper girls #some of the hot takes on Twitter are breaking me #‘why don’t we know the whole story? it’s bad writing if you don’t have a complete story in the first season’ girl WHAT since WHEN #how many excellent shows were weak as fuck in S1?? and here we’re getting shows with incredible first seasons fighting for their lives #like fuckin Christ dude the idea of long form storytelling is allowing your story time and space to spread out #otherwise we would only make movies #i am so sick of this edge of my seat fear that any new show I fall in love with will get axed because the higher powers don’t care about art #this has to be a bubble right? this has to pop at some point and go back to shows valued on what they are #and don’t even get me started on creators having to beg for good reviews to balance out review-bombing from shitheads #if every one star review is clearly bigoted from the comments? why is anyone taking them into account?? #why is there no way to manage this shit aside from creators being like ‘please help us”’
