    The greatest tax shelter movie ever made.

    It's not what we watch that changes us, it's how we choose to engage with it. Amazing how over the 40 years since release of this movie, Cronenberg's treatise on media consumption has been applicable to a half dozen trends like rise of the Internet, smart phones, social media, and qAnon. Probably will be also cover the next few trends as well because the thing is such a prescient masterwork.

    Like all the J. Lee Thompson and Bronson collabs for Cannon this has its fair share of sleaze and cynicism. Definitely feels less than some of my favorite of their works together but mismatched road movie duo of Bronson and Kathleen Wilhoite is pretty entertaining. Most of the movie is her calling him names like jism breath and she is really putting in the energy cause Bronson sure as hell won't.

    Entertaining but lacking in disgusting shock value that would make it stick out in my mind like some of the Thompson/Bronson works.

    Big disappointment for me. Feels like a mash mash of a bunch ideas from SNOWPIERCER and OKJA but none of them work. Love the designs (creepers rock) and I think Pattinson is doing great stuff too but this doesn't add up to anything.
    The satire doesn't land, the messages (all of which I like) are ham fisted, and I don't even know what the fuck Ruffalo is doing.

    If you know me or follow me on Twitter, you might be aware a project of mine that I had been working on for a long time is cataloging Pepsi movies.

    I've been doing this because I've noticed over the years movie that feature the sole sponsorship of Pepsi and its products are typically "B" or genre movies. It feels funny because Pepsi is often seen as the number 2 soda so seeing them attach themselves to bonkers stuff is…
