“GOD MOM IM COMING”- Charles Kaznick (Super 8, 2011)
probably always going to be my favorite movie. The Joe and Alice projector scene, the train crash, literally everything out of Charles' and Carey's mouths- pretty much immortal in my mind. Very very few films I've seen in the past ten years even have the guts to operate at this level of unabashed sincerity, let alone be this successful at it. I would not be a filmmaker if this movie hadn't come into my life when it did.
I like this movie a lot, but I can totally understand why this underperformed at the box office when it was released. You can’t promise kids SuperDog and then not give them SuperDog 😭
That said, this is actually a really fun premise that’s more fun for an older audience, ironically. There’s a lot of fun jabs at the entertainment industry that I appreciate a lot more now. And the voice acting is really great- not that that’s ever an issue…
now Yorgos what the fuck am I meant to do with this
2 walkouts, a surprising amount of audible gagging, and one person who shouted in outrage at Joe Alwyn a few times, man, Yorgos audiences really are unmatched 🤩
