Bill Murray/Harold Ramis week at our house. In honor of Groundhog Day I reminded myself I lifted a Bill Murray/Harold Ramis DVD box set from my mom when I moved out of the house (mom bought it, no one was watching it). Turns out I wasn’t watching it either.
Put on Groundhog Day yesterday for the holiday. Today we watched Stripes. With exception of a few scenes I think I have seen in GIFS, I don’t think I ever saw it before. A lot of people lately have talked about Candy’s performance, which was good, but holy heck, John Laroquette. Why yes, a number of the jokes are dated and it is horribly sexist, but it’s about the army in the 80s. It’s part of being dated.
The other film in the box set is Ghostbusters.

You read my mind.
Ugh. I just mentioned to a few of the 20-somethings in the office about Punxsutawney Phil seeing his shadow today and they looked at me like my head was screwed on halfway, lol.

Streaming viewers furious over pre-recorded Groundhog Day video of Staten Island Chuck predicting early spring
What a bunch of ground hogwash. Viewers railed against the Staten Island Zoo Tuesday for uploading a pre-recorded video online of Staten Island Chuck stepping out of his burrow and boldly predicting an early spring. The spectators tuned…

Saint Maud (8/10) is another whacked out, horror-but-not-really, movie from A24 that fits in quite well with the genre to which they have become synonymous. Maud is a pious live-in nurse who takes it upon herself to save the soul of the terminal woman she is caring for. It's unnerving and fueled by dread without a single jump scare. A slow burn, perhaps too slow at times, within a tight 83 minute run-time that had its hooks deeper in me than I knew, making the insane final movement of the film even more effective. Morfydd Clark is outstanding shifting between soft-spoken and intense nature of the titular Maud. I had only previously seen her in a couple other things where she didn't really stand out but after this, she's one to watch for.
Without the kind of setup that normally precedes such a thing, Saint Maud manages to feel timely in its messaging. It's about the consequences of allowing people to live within their own truths when our shared reality no longer pleases them and the difficulty in finding the lines between beliefs and delusional obsessions.
I look forward to whatever first time writer/director Rose Glass does next.

Great mindless entertainment, also I'm in love with Rachel Weisz as Evelyn in those movies. That scorpion king CGI is fucking terrible, though.Watched The Mummy and The Mummy Returns the last two nights with zero regrets.

It was awful when the movie released too! That plus the dude who runs to the edge of the pit with his arms out just finished that whole crappy scene off.

If you wanted to check out something very different with innovative filmmaking, I recommend this.
Yeah I was interested when you made your post about it some months back. If even to see how it looks with the tech they used.
I was going to post that. I enjoy about 50% of every video they post.

I like their "VFX Artists React" and "Stuntmen React to" series where they get professionals in to discuss how (good and bad) VFX and stunts are done.
I always end up learning about some movie scene I thought was real that was completely faked or how padding is set up to look like part of the set for falls.
