They are doing the same thing they did with Roma, I'll check it out when it plays in LA.

The Fanatic had the potential to be fun campy entertainment. The combination of John Travolta going bonkers along with some really inept writing sounded like it would go together well. However, it gets too bogged down with how mean spirited it is. After awhile, it feels like you're laughing at someone who is mentally disabled and it doesn't help that Durst can't seem to make a coherent point on toxic fandom.
There is a scene where Devon Sawa's character recommends Limp Bizkit to his son.

A couple negative reviews are referring to it as being "incel friendly"

Watched one of the worst movies the other day. It was called Mad Dog and Glory ('84 I think), made during that awkward time in cinema when the "freaks" lost control of Hollywood and great actors from the '70s were cast in awful movies just to keep working. Possibly the worst casting I've ever seen. DiNero, Bill Murray and Uma Thurman all seem to have giant signs on them that said 'i should not be in this movie'. Nobody fit their role, but no actors could have saved this ridiculous script. I felt embarrassed for everyone while watching it. I'd say it's the worst movie each of those actors were ever involved with.

Of course I haven’t seen it, but the Indiewire review is what Ive always thought it would be with Todd Phillips behind it.

When I used to go to the NY Underground Film Festival (wen't 5 years in a row during the mid 90s), Todd Phillips was the door man. Way before he became famous. Guy was a smarmy prick. Real condescending to everyone, and tried to pick up my gf while I wen't to the restroom (the last year we wen't), even though he would talk to us every year. While on line to get in, between films, and during closing. We actually stopped going because of him, as she didn't want to deal with his creepy shit anymore. He would talk about how he did pornos and how 'hung' he was... Just real immature and eventually almost stalker like behavior. He would also ramble on about how he was going to start writing a screenplay, and how "dark" it was going to be. He seemed obsessed with Abel Ferrara. When his cookie cutter comedy came out years later I couldn't believe it was the same creepy asshole. Turned out to be a shit director anyway.

Currently revisiting Ronin, is this the most obnoxious character Sean Bean has ever played?

Real rainy, crappy day in NY yesterday so I had myself a lil' movie day:
Demolition Man Groundhog's Day Elevator to the Gallows Evil Dead Evil Dead II
And was 75% through Rosemary's Baby when the power cut so I gotta finish that today.
Loved all of them. Groundhog's Day especially was one of the most breezy, effortlessly funny movies I've ever seen and was just truly enjoyable from start to finish.

Groundhog Day really is one of, if not the best comedy of the 90s. Effortlessly funny is the perfect way to describe it. Without Bill Murray that movie wouldn't have worked. Last few movies I've watched: Jodorowsky's Dune Great documentary about the pre-production of maybe the best movie never made. With Alexandro directing and Giger designing this would have been end-all sci-fi film. They show parts of a huge book that's basically the entire movie in detailed storyboards. Only 2 in existence. They should publish that fucker. Death of a Salesman Can't believe I've never watched this before. Mid 80s version of the classic novel. Feels more like a play than a movie but that doesn't detract from it's greatness. Maybe the best performances by both Dustin Hoffman and John Malkovich I've seen. When they share the screen it's like a damn acting lesson. Can't wait to see it again. The Good The Bad and The Ugly Have no idea how many times I've sat through the entire 3 hours of this one. It's been on a lot lately (I still have cable), and I get sucked in every time. Simply one of the greatest movies ever.

there's been talks of releasing those storyboards from Dune. i would buy that up in a second. Humanoids has been putting out a lot of the Jodorowsky/Moebius stuff in the last few years so maybe there's a chance. Stormy, if you've never read the incal, i'd highly recommend it.

I was reading something after watching it (I wanna say it was Ebert's review) and he was talking about exactly that. He didn't think Ramis would have even bothered to make the movie with anyone else. And that makes perfect sense -- no other actor could have pulled that off that smarmy, disaffected personality and had it come off as so endearing.

So Pink Panther with Steve Martin might be one of the dumbest movies ever, but the scene where he’s trying to learn how to say “I would like to buy a hamburger” is maybe one of the funniest things I’ve ever seen.

Rocketman is a hunk of shit. Me and the wife made it nearly 20 minutes before giving up and watched Raisin in the Sun with Sidney Portier instead. Excellent movie by the way.

Tried watching 'The Lobster' yesterday. I just wasn't feeling it. Didn't hate it but I didn't grasp on like I did with 'Killing of The Sacred Deer'. I might retry but I just found myself looking at my phone throughout the first 30 minutes or so.
