    The Celebration

    ★★★★½

    Putting the tragedy and comedy in tragicomedy.

    Going in the pile with Melancholia & Shiva Baby; films about family gatherings that almost induced a panic attack.

    There's focus breathing, blown out exposure, inaudible audio and some strange blocking - and it makes for a thrilling and uncomfortable adventure.

    There's something about fly-on-the-wall shooting, capturing regular people talking about and doing "regular" things that will forever be the content I find the most 'this is cinema', and ironically, it is the most like theatre.

    "FUCK YOU, LUCKY CHARMS!" 

    This film plays EXACTLY like however you imagine a film with this title would play.

    They smooshed Freddy Kruger and Chucky together, then Warwick Davis brought till it to life through an extremely committed performance.

    Fun Fact: Jennifer Aniston's first (credited) feature film!

    I'm going to try and watch all of them because I hate myself.

    Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga

    GOON! cause it’s Dune, but straya.

    Before reading, I would like to acknowledge that over everything else, I was bored. Like really, genuinely very bored. So take that as my jumping off point to understand why I despised this.

    Whatever this is, I hate it. I assumed because the last one was so popular, regardless of liking the wasteland aesthetic or not, it could be enjoyed. I realise now, outside of video games, this “world” is not my jam.

    WOULD GO STEADY WITH A CREEPER.

    About to start reading the book, Mickey7 by Edward Ashton, to see what I missed. What Joon-Ho missed. What we all missed.

    And yes it's MickeySEVEN!!!! Bong went and threw 10 more Mickey's in the Micks!

    If you like Starship Troopers, Hitchhiker's Guide or Futurama... you're gonna feel something. Maybe pure joy; maybe suicidal rage.

    Creeper gave me a sloppy print job 😉
