Ephemera of Vision
This is my place for ramblings about sequences of images that exploit the human visual limitation know as persistence of vision.
-
This has larger budget, so they have more “real” washout actors, besides the usual cast. Don’t worry, the poop jokes are safe. The people that died in the last film are back too, fuck continuity, this is like The Simpsons if every episode was a Treehouse of Horror.
-
Can confirm Martin Landau on the damn pool octopus scene steals the show, and it’s even better when it’s freaking Martin Landau. Vincent D’Onofrio appears in a dream cameo, without his own voice! And Sarah Jessica Parker in a real role, complaining about being horse-faced.
-
Make RoboCop Leftist Again. Nazi Punks Fuck Off. OCP: Opressor Capitalist Pigs. At the same time, keep it goofy.
-
Oof, a romcom where the main character watches his less impressive pals meet their soulmates, while he pins for the Manic Pixie Dream Girl. She doesn’t care about the middle class life, she wants to be a trust fund kid.
-
Mob killers are deep Christian people too, they can have their priest lie under oath to get them out, and they live happily for about a couple years.
-
A wholesome, non-cynic semi-hard sci-fi film, for the Internet-native teens. Even better than The Martian, Gosling is simply a better actor. Fist my bump.
-
My god, this is so bad. It’s the worst parts of fan fiction,
#girlboss, and TikTok generation bullshit. They even bring out the Sarah Michelle Gellar AI slop (or Buffy is a literal vampire and did not change in 30 years). -
A truly low rent “thriller” with some dogshit political implications for some reason. Direct-to-Streaming truly is the new direct-to-video.
-
This is extremely weird, the comedy skits do not completely gel with the rest of extreme hardcore drama. It works well as a pure drama, not sure why they cut it down with the comedy, is this Marvel shit?
-
This is allegedly for kids, but there are enormous amounts of parental bonuses. Besides the girl’s costumes, I mean. Wait, this was written by James “Guardians of the Galaxy” Gunn?
-
Top notch ZAZ. This is so filled to the brim with jokes, there are jokes within jokes. During the skeet surfing sequence, there’s “Time Permitting Frank Sinatra”.
-
I mean, “Seth”, really? And his friend is “Evan”? Come on, make this autobiographies a little less on the nose. I’m pretty sure Rogen was more like the dweeb friend. It’s an Apatow film written by Seth Rogen, so you know what you will get.
-
Perfect, no notes. It overcomes it’s meta self-referential crutches, when it soars over a more relatable family drama. Siblings are the best.
-
This is not Bridesmaids, there’s no plot, and while Melissa McCarthy is hilarious, Sandra Bullock is not a good straight woman. Lenina Huxley is not wholesome enough.
-
Nihilism incarnate, literally just some Vines and corresponding reaction shots. I got to admit, I skimmed this, it’s as bad as I imagined. It’s the laughs, that dark triad laughs, that disgust me the most.
