I was so in love with Uma Thurman. still am infatuated I guess. she is my age and watching her from Munchausen to Henry & June to KIll Bill was great, until I had to see her gross as feet in Kill Bill. that tamped down the lustmeter......

the movie we watched the day before (o lucky man, posted above) also featured a white man in blackface as an african tyrant--but we though it was done only for satirical purposes and not pig ignorance. wishful thinking maybe? anyway, two ethnic caricatures in a row was too much to tolerate, and with remo it didn't make sense at all, except that the master of ceremonies from cabaret (who plays chiun) actually had some good dancer moves and could do some of the physical stuff, unlike, say, mr. miyagi. so-- what was this comic called again? the destroyer men? |

not a comic. a pulp men's adventure series called The Destroyer. According to IMDB copyright screwed the film because Marvel owns a character called The MIghty Destroyer, so they could not name the movie after the book series.
I liked this one a lot because it involves a battle between all the mystical assassin martial artists from the world competing to see who is the master assassin of all. The stuff they got right in the movie was all the wilford brimley stuff, about the organization C.U.R.E., and the way they run in secret.

it is pure salami but what salami! I am not sure that they still publish many of these men's adventure books anymore. Like the male equivalent of romance novels, but instead of love, lust, intrigue, and missed opportunities for love, there is violence, action, martial arts, clinical sex (because Chiun taught Remo exactly how to drive a woman insane with pleasure, it takes 32 steps but most women can only get to step 4-5 before they explode in orgasms. hahahahahahahahh . no lie. Therefore Remo no longer enjoys sex.)

Bully I'm never sure what I think about Larry Clarke. I generally like his movies but I do think his reasons for making them are pretty dubious. |

He's probably a perv.
But I actually own this movie. I think I got it so I could shock people with it, but it is a well-made, emotionally moving film. (With naked teens.) |

rewatched again CLERKS
it's still funny, and probably still his best also been trying to finish SLIVER which is billed as some sexy fucky thriller, which i never saw. major disappoint in several fronts: #1, sharon stone is a great looking woman, sure, but she doesn't act sexy, like-- when she screen-fucks she looks and sounds like she's holding back her diarrhea or something instead of enjoying herself. no bueno. #2, my wife sez alec baldwin's little brother is ugly as fuck and can't stand the look of him. i haven't yet told her that he's now a trump supporter. apparently sharon stone couldn't stand him either? which probably why the diarrhea look. #3, terrible soundtrack that never stops #4, the plot sucks #5 sharon stone's prince valiant haircuts look stupid definitely needs the mst3k treatment |

This was the last movie I watched.
I, ahhh, hmm. I wasn't sure what I was expecting, but I certainly wasn't expecting greatness, so... expectations met! This was not great. I have come to appreciate the kind of streamlined blockbusters Marvel puts out after years of resenting their success because I'm a DC motherfucker for life. But with Chris Nolan out of that scene, and the Dark Knight stuff very much over (got out just in time, that lot), there's simply no denying that Marvel has definitively won the comic book movie battle for this decade. That said, however, this movie felt like it existed simply to move the MCU along. To usher in some mystical shit and open up the doors for Thor: Ragnarok, and more mining of the depths of B-list, lame ass superheroes that have never been any kind of cool or iconic. Doctor Strange is neither cool nor iconic. He is lame and relevant to nothing, and I have never once found myself wondering what a movie version of his dumb ass might look like. The Captain America movies work, and have a unique feel to them, and so does Thor to a lesser extend, and I hear some people even like the Iron Man films. But this one felt like a re-hash of some of the most basic elements of the most basic movies. NR told me it was pretty much like Iron Man with magic, and ... yup! Also Tilda Swinton playing the character of a Chinese dude. So. Yah. Special effects were cool, but they were cooler and used to better effect in Inception. None of it was terrible. Most of it was entertaining. I wasn't bored. But it was just decidedly not great. And again, I wasn't expecting greatness, so I guess that means it isn't a disappointment. Blah. Superhero movies. Ugh. Never thought I'd be the one to say enough already, but... fucking enough already. Let's take a goddamn breather. Or investigate some less "superhero-y" material. I like what's happening on TV with superhero shit more than I like what's in the movies these days. Agents of SHIELD has been very touch and go, but lately it's been pretty consistently ... uh.. touch. This season has been the absolute best, and the most recent episode (S04:E15, titled "Self Control") is — no fucking shit — one of the best hours of TV I've seen in fucking AGES. Oh my god. Moody Blues music sets the tone for an EXCELLENT bottle neck episode that borrows equally from John Carpenter's The Thing, the Manchurian Candidate, The Matrix and fucking Blade Runner, and is genuinely goddamn thrilling and glorious. Also, Gotham, despite its many, many pimples and blemishes, is consistently fun to watch. And obviously Daredevil and Jessica Jones are both the fucking shit. So I would like to see more of this TV, long-form stuff and less of the constant build-up-movie-build-up-sequel-build-up-spinoff shit that has dominated the theater for the last 12 years. FUCK! Anyway Doctor Strange was like a 5-6/10 (if Winter Soldier was an 8/10, and The Dark Knight was a 10/10, which it was). |

So I Married an Axe Murderer. I find it an underrated Mike Myers flick.
