Ephemera of Vision
This is my place for ramblings about sequences of images that exploit the human visual limitation know as persistence of vision.
-
Wait a second, this is the opening scene? Recreating The Most Beautiful Suicide of Evelyn McHale on the Empire State Building? I thought this was a comedy, not Crash during Christmas!
-
Toshiba British Intelligence: Spying for You, and literally laughing in the face of Cameron are enough hold up the while film. And with a literal Bond girl Rosamund Pike.
-
This hold up extremely well, being based around slapstick and vicious self deprecating humour around the protagonist, plus relentless mocking the French.
-
This not so stealthy Scientology putdown is brought to you by the Weinstein company and Larry Ellison’s (less bad) kid. I guess the new money doesn’t like old school grifters, but they are equally vulnerable to the new ones.
-
As the name implies, this is a truly forgettable sci-fi action film. 2001, Event Horizon, then franchise:Terminator and The Prestige. Don’t forget about 1984, there’s Victoria and Julia duking it out.
-
A subdued thriller, filled with moral ambiguities that muddle the water so much, it almost ruins the characters. It’s pretty, but could have used a bit more dialogue.
-
Misery loves company, I’m talking about the sow specifically. Kathy Bates is simply incredible, better than that other film with JJ Abrams swearing.
-
I’m pretty sure this started with some The Thing fan scrolled Facebook and ended up on one of those couple accounts, and just took to the next level.
-
This is bog standard copaganda, aping NYPD Blue, or one of the Bellisario shows, without the grit. But it’s written by a local former cop (or something), there’s opportunity for unintended comedy.
-
Oh my, is this a roman à cléf? Channing Tatum is clearly Epstein, and Geena Davis is Ghislane Maxwell. One Day, Everyone Will Have Always Been Against This.
-
Seeing this now feels like unearthing the Tutankhamun’s sarcophagus, it’s so removed from the current reality, from all sides. But it even works as a pure drama, coming back home to meet the parents packs some extremely emotional punches.
-
Can’t believe males claiming they can beat Serena Williams is over 50 years old. Another American centrist film where the real deal is the middle ground between equality and bigotry. Just demanding equality is radical, trust the process.
-
I can see why this was less popular, it’s less focus on the mythos dross, leaning more and more into the morality tale.
-
Nhe, now Gordon from the first film survived? And the opening is a public saw-off with a big boobed girl being cut in half by the two boys she is two timing. Back to crapitude.
-
Very well, killing a Nazi with Totenkopft tatoos in the cold open, you have my attention. Not very inventive, but OK, I’ll take antifa propaganda from anyone. Then it’s Saw II again, a bunch of people hating together, for a few minutes.
