Craig Wedren & Pink Ape: I Am a Wolf, You Are the Moon (2016)
A classic '81 tune
Just the kind of tune you have memories of, singing with your closest friends around a campfire after taking in a classic Broadway musicale, Electro City.
Never Let Me Go (2010)
Premise lifted from the Clonus Horror
I cannot believe it, but both M Night Shamalayan and Kazuo Ishiguro have one thing in common: they both stole ideas wholesale from the 1978 film, "Parts: The Clonus Horror".
M Night takes his twist for The Village from a plot point, and Ishiguro lifts the ENTIRE PREMISE from the Clonus Horror for Never Let Me Go.
Shame on you, Kazuo.
Get Out (2017)
If you really think about it...
Doesn't make any sense.
So the white people want to become trapped in the bodies of black people full knowing that they themselves may become kidnapped and other white people may try and buy those people at some asinine auction?
Because once they inhabit a black person's body, there is no guarantee that others know that they're in there.
And also this trivializes racism by saying, "it's just because white people want to be like black people".
Why would the white people choose that in the context of the film? It's not like they gain any social advantage: they(characters and the film's writer itself) treat black people as physical specimens devoid of intellectually redeeming qualities). The antagonists' motivations are poorly written, vague, and make absolutely no sense within the logic of the film.
If anything, not knowing whether or not a white person were inhabiting a black person's body would solve racism because any person would not know the true existential state of any other person(black/white, whatever) and would be forced to act nondeterministically.
Maybe save this for a Twilight Zone reboot episo-oh no that was garbage and Peele is actually just a fan of perpetuating casual racism as acceptable.
Halloween Kills (2021)
No
This film is embarrassingly bad. Any comedy you get from it is from the pure nonsensical actions of characters; yes, this must have been intended to be a comedy/horror but it fails spectacularly at both. Stick to just comedy, Danny McBride.
Appropriately, my seat at the theater did not recline and there was someone who resembled Lurch+Michael Myers a few seats down who would mumble incoherently at points.
Reboots die tonight, reboots die tonight.
Army of the Dead (2021)
Eyesight exam
If you ever see more than one person in focus at the same time in this film, you have 200/20 vision.
The Righteous Gemstones (2019)
So much heart here
I've never been so immediately smitten by a show.
The writing, acting, and technical aspects are freaking perfectly blended.
Bravo, Danny McBride. You are playing my heartstrings like Charlie Daniels fiddling against the devil.
