Somehow, it got worse.

I used to have multiple personalities, but we’re ok now.
Posted: January 29, 2017 Filed under: Movies Leave a commentI started my #366Flicks project with an M. Night Shyamalan movie, most would say his best one in quite a while. It only seems fitting that I start blogging again (at a much less insane pace) with another Shyamalan movie that is even better.

Wait, WHO is running for president?!

Posted: October 11, 2016 Filed under: #366Flicks, Movies | Tags: #366Flicks Leave a commentThere are no original ideas left. Every story that can be conceived already has been. Take heart in knowing that no matter what great narrative you’ve dreamed up, someone has already done it, and better. Time is cyclical, the snake is eating its tail, nothing changes ’cause it’s all the same, the world you get’s the one you give away, it all just happens again way down the line.
But hey, no pressure, creators!
(Spoilers within.)
Everything that’s old is new again.

Despite the massive search for them and it being twenty years later, this blurry YouTube video makes me think she may somehow still be alive in there! Wanna go camping with me to try and find them?”
“….yeah, no.”
THE END
While my shamisen gently weeps.

What’s that about finishing last?

…well, not much.

Posted: August 26, 2016 Filed under: #366Flicks, Movies Leave a commentYour magnanimous movie maestro has just returned from a road trip from his home in the Deep South all the way up to the wild suburbs of Illinois. Next week he’ll be headed all the way to Atlanta for DragonCon. What better way to celebrate all this time on the open road than by watching all six of the Wrong Turn movies?
Wait… there are SIX of these things? Oy. You’d think after four wrong turns they’d be going the right direction again.
