Is God Is looks nice and pulpy if a bit too QT derivative.

Is God Is and Obsession are both getting great reviews.

Here’s a trailer for a film we’ll probably never hear about again:

I didn’t realise that bee theft was worthy of a cinematic experience…

Two big, colorful fantasy movies coming out. One looks pretty bad and the other looks pretty good, and they both look like they’ll flop.

That remains to be seen.

Wildwood looks pretty awesome! I hope that one does well!

The Magic Far Away Tree feels like a really neat idea but the trailer make it feel excessively blunt/heavy handed in that "adult talking to child in childs language" type manner.

Both look pretty good, but yeah won't be surprised if they're both flops.

Has Laika ever had a really successful film?

They've had success, but not in recent years. Kubo(2016) sadly fell short of covering it's costs, while Missing Link(2019) had their largest budget and yet their greatest loss by far. This should be a return to form for Laika, with a bit of luck.

Obsession just came out, and I highly recommend seeing it in a theater for all the scares, humor-horror whiplash scenes and the “oh feth!” moments that land hard with a crowd. If for nothing else, see it for Inde Navarette, who is amazing. She can make a facial expression into a jumpscare.



On the upcoming fantasy side, we’ll be watching Wildwood for sure.

Hard to say if it will be good, but at least it looks like it’s trying.

Well, except for that last line. “Then go and get it . [John Stewart]”. Something about the way it’s cut together is giving strong vibes of “I love you, [PHILIP J FRY].”

Mildly amused that despite very heavy social media campaigns for MOTU? Not once have I seen him doing a vox pops or otherwise really being mentioned.

I’m aware of the allegations and that they came after the film was in the can.

But dare we hope this is the end of his insipid career ruining movies with his anti-presence?

Could be this decade’s Sharknado.

Might be the first cast with a “for your consideration” campaign for the Razzies.

Also, was that Sarah Michelle Gellar?

Hoping to be Airplane! but more likely to be The Big Bus.

PS - I enjoyed The Big Bus but I haven't seen it in several decades.

My local theatre is showing Top Gun: 40th and Top Gun: Maverick right now. Crazy.

That’s a lot of hangin’ with the boys.

I was thinking it wants to be Cannonball Run but is going to be Speed Zone.
