Pepsi, Where’s My Jet? (prod. Vivian Johnson).

Netflix continues the unfortunate trend of stretching its perfectly suitable documentary subjects into multi-episode series instead of the usual light and brisk feature-length running time for no good reason. Here, the producers exhaustively revisit the famous “Pepsi Points” ad campaign turned scandal during the mid-‘90s height of the cola wars and its ensuing court battle after a misleading commercial inspired one enterprising Seattle college student, John Leonard, to challenge the corporation and try to redeem a promised Harrier Jet.

There are plenty of colourful characters and the breezy insights into corporate business tactics, advertising culture, and legal maneuvering all make for a fun topic, but the insubstantial material hardly justifies all the hoopla involved in unfolding over four episodes.

"Hello Bruce. Until now, you've lived by one rule. Letting murderers live to kill again. Inflicting harm upon them, but sending them to a prison you know they can, and will escape from, only to maim and murder once again. Do you truly fight for justice, or the mere illusion of it? We’ll find out today. Live or die, Bruce. The choice is yours."

Trap scenarios for Batman. Each trap has a rogue’s gallery theme “ice trap for Mr Freeze / Poison for Ivy / Save two batkids at same time for two face” The gist is simple. Bruce has to choose between his rogues and his family. I have writer's block, so if anyone has trap/test suggestions, feel free to add them.

the final trap being Joker and Alfred shackled onto two tables with a dialysis machine looking contraption between them; they're both held inside a cage and a small pillar with a button on it is outside.

"Hello Bruce, and welcome to your final test. The men before you have played similar yet opposite roles in your life. One is an enemy that you have never truly conquered, and the other is an ally who has never wavered in his support of your conquest. In sixty seconds, the machine will begin to pump Alfred's veins full if hydrofluoric acid. If you push the button before then however, the acid will instead be pumped into the veins of the Joker. Will you do it this time, Batman? Will you take one life in order to save another?"

TWISTER - 3.4 / 5

☆ 1996 ☆ Jan de Bont ☆ Action / Adventure ☆

You wanna know something? I watched this film exclusively for Philip Seymour Hoffman and I only slightly regretted it!

────────────────────────

Plot: ★★★☆☆

3.5 / 5

I have to be sort of nice about this film because my mum loves it, but I did not love it.

Helen Hunt and her hippie, tornado chasing gang get together to hunt down the most powerful hurricane in decades to test out their revolutionary hippie technology. Bill Paxton comes back ‘just this once’ as a rival gang of weather men have stolen their hippie tech ideas and will try to play it off as their own, if it works. It does, but only after Bill Paxton has an affair with Helen Hunt… or something.

So, Bill Paxton’s wife is this psych lady and she genuinely seemed normal but the movie tried so hard to push her away. If my husband took me hurricane chasing with his old girlfriend, and then proceeded to CHEAT on me with said girlfriend, I would’ve done so much more than her (genuinely cute) parting speech. In the movie’s defence, they didn’t demonise her as much as I was expecting them to - I think a lot of films have this nasty habit of gaslighting the audience into thinking the rational one is insane for the (specifically romantic, re-kindled love) plot. Though, I do love a good Edward Cullen: ‘No one will believe you’, so maybe my opinions wouldn’t be so sour if the film just went guns-a-blazing with the manipulation tactics.

Soundtrack: ★★★★☆

4 / 5

Okay, so there’s two soundtracks. I think one is of the instrumental and the other, well - in the movie, most of the soundtrack is comprised of whatever PSH’s character is playing in his truck because he’s the Radio Guy ™ (I LOVE YOU PHILIP SEYMOUR HOFFMAN!) but the music is GOOD even if I didn’t know any of it! Eric Clapton, Stevie Nicks, Lisa Loeb, Red Hot Chilli Peppers, the Goo Goo Dolls and various others seem like a pretty good recipe for success, though. The instrumental score was forgettable but I have no idea what to compare it to. I never listen the scores in films, besides maybe whatever Hans Zimmer puts out - and it was certainly not on par with Hans Zimmer. The lyrical soundtrack bumps the score up a star or two.

Acting/ Cast: ★★★☆☆

3.5 / 5

Maybe not acting, but the dialogue was so odd and (to me) unnatural in places and the kiss between Bill Paxton and (the lady) at the end was so weirdly placed: they just survived a HURRICANE, alright, but they only start making out once all the rest of their friends arrive?? I don’t know. I feel like they could’ve done that at literally any other time. Anyway. You already know Philip Seymour Hoffman ATE THIS ROLE UPPP (foood). I have never seen him be bad in a film yet, and I don’t think I ever will. The psych lady (Jami Gertz) was great! I remember her being good in ‘The Lost Boys’ too, so no surprise there. Bill Paxton and Helen Hunt were also good, but Paxton was weirdly off in this one? Something just didn’t feel right - maybe he just wasn’t as insane as I was expecting him to be. The rest of the cast were fine. It was like Movie 43 but half decent, and with niche side characters instead of weird main stars. It felt like everybody was somebody in something else.

Visuals: ★★★☆☆

3.5 / 5

90s CGI. Yeah. There were some explosions, though, and they were pretty sick. Nowhere near ‘Forrest Gump’ or ‘The Matrix’, but just far enough from ‘Deep Blue Sea’ for me to mind it. As someone who grew up in the era of Marvel, some percentage of the stars were for effort.

Enjoyment: ★★☆☆☆

2.5 / 5

Half of this is for PSH - I probably wouldn’t watch this again, even so. I remember seeing parts of this as a kid (specifically the final tornado chase bit) and I would genuinely get so stressed about it, so the negatives are probably from a deep seated psychological issue and just flat-out disappointment: I expected a lot from this film, but I didn’t get a lot back.

Overall: ★★★☆☆

3.4 / 5

But tell me your views! Does anyone actually like this film, wholeheartedly? I’d love to discuss with those of you who like Philip Seymour Hoffman, and also those of you who are wrong! Joking. I’m not.

Thank you for reading, and have a wonderful day :3

I think the Hoffman fixation is just a resurfacing of my dormant preteen need to conflate sexuality with violence because they are both so frightening to my immature brain. Or whatever

Jason, share a couple of your childhood episodes with us. There must've been something special like birthday gifts or spending a day cooking with mom... Or at least a day you were not beaten. At least.

Oh my God, it wasn't like I was Oliver Twist, born into a life of misery. I mean, yes, it sucked, but not like that. Geeze.

Anyways, Willis was...honestly, not around that much, which is a story for another day, but before Mom got sick, she used to read to me a lot. And the thing is, with her, is I'm pretty sure she hated shit like See Spot Run, because when I got older and clearly wasn't going to need to sleep with the lights on because I saw two minutes of The X-Files, she did not bother seeking out abridged copies. It's not like she read me Jackie Collins or anything--and she did do some tweaking of the Greek myths, because no five year-old needs to know that Zeus turned into a swan and did all that--but we had this old book of stories called The Night Pieces, and some of those were dark. Like, there was this one, The Sandman, and part of that was that the sandman would come for you if you didn't go to sleep, and rip your eyes out to feed to his kids. It was great. :)

So at Christmas we'd usually get tamales from this old woman that lived down the street, and most years we'd do presents--little things, like candy and a couple'a random toys--and she'd make us cups of Swiss Miss and read The Nutcracker. She always did the voices and everything.
