Heads up bloggerionos! I apologise for the radio silence last week, I had an exceptionally busy weekend and am likely to have one next weekend too! Fortunately I prepared for such an eventuality. I won’t be doing a regular blog for last week or this one. BUT I do have a couple of films I’ve been meaning to watch, so we’ll do a bonus one for last week which I’ll post tomorrow, and I’ll do the same next week. Should be able to return to normalcy the week after!
For now though, have some links to some interesting stuff:
-I’ve used Roger Ebert’s work as research for this blog in the past and mentioned his reviews of the films in question in multiple posts. I came upon this article recently which contains Ebert’s thoughts on some films he really didn’t like- there are some devastating takedowns on here of the sort a humble amateur such as I can only dream. He’s so funny in fact that I will forgive him insulting my beloved Spice Girls: http://mentalfloss.com/article/76485/35-movies-roger-ebert-really-hated
– Honourary blog affiliate/ older brother of mine James linked me to this the other day. Zeroville is a James Franco directorial/ starring film released recently after years in limbo. The Guardian calls it ‘staggeringly incompetent’ and The Independent ‘unbearably smug’. Smug? James Franco? Surely not… https://www.theguardian.com/film/2019/sep/26/james-franco-zeroville-review-worst-film-2019. If I can stomach it -in light of the accusations against Franco- this one may end up on the blog in a few years- if it should still be going!
-Finally I beg you to watch this trailer: https://www.twisted-pair-film.com/trailer/ And if you should want some context, here it is: https://www.pastemagazine.com/articles/2018/07/your-brain-will-attempt-to-flee-your-body-watching.html
That’s all folks! (For now)
