Iβm bounded
Blinded across this tempest
I watched this 2 times today as Iβve just finished watched this video right here, which made me start to think about videogames as a space for user creation and not only consumption. That is, taking other peopleβs work and using the same (in this case literal) assets to transform it into a new piece. That reminds me of course, even if only partly, of Gus Van Santβs Psycho, which is still one ofβ¦
The art-popification of a classic
Youβve seen this movie before, just like Iβve seen it before. The whole world has already watched it!!
Gus Van Sant is aware of that; heβs aware that remaking one of the most influential movies of all time will only bring hatred and a new reputation for having made a βuselessβ feature. But you know what they say, we all go a little mad sometimes, and thatβs exactly what makes me declare Van Santβs 1998βsβ¦
βIβm not scared, Iβm a Christian.β
What a riveting, self-produced, ultra-low budget, little feature we got here uh.
First and foremost, I have no idea where Bad Ben delimits its bounds, cause they generally keep crossing from one to the other - the main two? Comedy and horror.
And god does the comedy shine through, in a subtle way keep in mind, but it shines through.
Thereβs a certain art to amateurish movies like this one, and while being excellentβ¦
After my viewing of βReady Or Notβ I immediately decided to give this one another spin, and au contraire of the former it gets a complete ideology pass in my book.
Youβre Next, even though feeling quite underwhelming and less entertaining than RoN in almost every aspect, is still a good, gritty look at the home-invasion sub-genre.
But letβs get to the juicy part since, if I have to be completely honest, thereβs nothing new or particularly interesting here.

Unironically a masterpiece of maximalist cinema, and the negative reviews this series keeps getting are actually disheartening. Itβs weird that some of the same people who manage to validate the entirety of Marvelβs output really canβt enjoy these films. I get marvel as pop-corn flicks but when we got to their actual foundation, itβs easy to see why itβs not solid at all - F&F however feels much more benevolent and, even though obviously a greedy franchise, it keeps theβ¦
This is not creative at all. Couldβve gone all in and actually made something crazy. :/
Iβd tell myself that the sequel might improve on everything but Iβd be lying, if itβs from the same guys it wonβt be any good either.Β
Piglet nooo Piglet stop, stop Piglet, stooop, no NO NO PIGLET, STOOOOP, Piglet noooo, goddd stop Piglet, NOOOOOOOOOO
Actual dramatic dialogue from the movie.
Youβre laughing uh. Cristopher Robin is getting chased and whipped by 7 feet men with animal masks and youβre laughing. (100% REAL)
Iβm so sorry you had to see this first Mexico, genuinely.
