All of the Space Jam showings tonight are nearly sold out at my local. Bleak shit, man.

Sounds like a two hour commercial for HBO Max.

Well, I didn't expect to have two Nic Cage movies in my top five of the year - one being a meditative piece on loss and the other where he doesn't say anything and beats the shit out of possessed animatronics - but here we are.
What’s the one besides Pig?

Willy's Wonderland. Absurd B-movie perfection. Free on Hulu.
Ok. I’ll check it out. Watched Primal a few months ago and it was stupidly fun.

This was the Space Jam showing starting ten minutes before my Pig showing. Every showing tonight looked like this:

I'm almost certain it's going to be #1 after the weekend. A Marvel movie only getting one week in the top spot seems odd.

They’re getting all that 100% profit D+ money though so I don’t think they care.
(made $60M last week on D+ Premium Access last weekend)
Got around to watching No Sudden Move and thought it was pretty good. Good action. Good performances. I’ve eaten at the Italian restaurant where one scene allegedly takes place so that was a plus. Always for a good Ray Liotta performance too.
Bur holy shit did Brendan Frasier get fat! Like outrageously fat. Distractingly fat. It’s really something.

Pig - 9/10
Nicholas Cage gives a haunting yet soulful performance as a truffle forager whose beloved pig is stolen. With the help of his buyer (played by Alex Wolff of Hereditary fame) his search takes us through the seedy underbelly of... Portland's fine dining scene?
Very much not John Wick while also cleverly built like a revenge-action movie. There are people with information to track down, sub-bosses, and hints of a shadowy world beyond what is on screen. But it's also surprisingly a food movie and Pig deconstructs the hot revenge genre like one of the pretentious menus in the film. There is no revenge to be had, of course, and Pig has something more on its mind concerning loss, grief, and how the artistic process fits into that. At times it almost has a similar vibe to The Revenant, where Leo is dragging his broken ass through the wilderness into even more punishment he knows is waiting for him.
Cage gets a lot of attention for his unhinged performances and that is a big factor into why his measured restraint works so well in Pig. Cage's reputation bleeds into the audience's perception of the character; you think this guy is capable of anything. That makes his thoughtful monologues and moments of humor even more impactful.
I've never heard of writer/director Michael Sarnoski but he made one hell of a first feature. One of the best movies of the year.
