Movies that are like a warm blanket on a rainy day.

Enter the Matrix - Ghost Meets With the Oracle

I am trying to prepare those that stand on the front lines of our coming trial.

We stand upon the edge of a precipice, the fall from which we will not return.

Each of us must find courage when we are most afraid to do what we must. That is our only hope.

My @letterboxd review of Flash Point (2007)

[cinemacentral666]

American Fusion (2005)

Movie #1,041 • WELL, HONG? CH. 3

Welcome to WELL, HONG? my A-Z filmography series focusing on the complete works of actor JAMES HONG...

[ Ed. Note: This is the first WELL, HONG? installment on CC666 - for the first two chapters, visit moviejeff.com: Adventures of Johnny Tao (2007) and Airplane! (1980) ]

Well, there it is in all its wackadoodle glory: Hong's only scene in this hard to find '05 comedy (I had to rent it on Amazon for $4.25 lol). In and out (and stoned out of his mind) in under 90 seconds. American Fusion had to crawl so that Crazy Rich Asians could walk? No can't print that…

Moving on.

I actually was mildly into this one for the first act or so. The humor was pretty broad and weird (as you can see from the above "sea otter nipples" riff + look at that movie poster!). But it descended into sappy schlock unfortunately.

Some highlights include:

An early Randall Park appearance as the son of the lead actress who wishes he was black (he's legit funny doing AAVE)

All the family's interactions with the black doctor (played by character actor de jour Tom Wright), especially when they bring him gifts which include a basketball and Popeye's chicken. (The commentary is obvious but effective: minorities stereotype other minorities just as often)

Fabio cameo

Weirdly, character actor Joel McKinnon Miller had a fairly significant scene as a plumber but he is not listed anywhere in the IMDB cast? Hmm.

And the great Pat Morita, who looks like this for some reason…

It was competent and fairly funny for a little bit... I swear! Oh well.

SCORE: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️¼

[tenjiiku]

do u have any movie / song recs atm 🥰?? i wanna be inspired to write like you do... but not in that sense if ykwim haha!! i just really love the way you write !! so im looking for inspiration,, if thats okay with u ofc ☝️

Heyyy lol ofcc I love talking abt media I love! Tbh I do not watch a lot of movies but I do have a lot of book recs some of which have movie adaptations.

Movies/Books;

The Hunger Games series, Suzanne Collins. Katniss and Peeta invented love and romance. I can go on about these two forever, but I will simply mention the beach scene b/t them in Catching Fire. That changed me fundamentally, altered my brain chemistry permanently, etc etc. Also of course the critique on capitalism in a Western society and how despite the violence such a system can breed Love will ever and remain forever as long as hope prevails.

Strange Weather in Tokyo, Hiromi Kawakami. I love dialogue, and this story has so much of it. And also I adore stories of the mundane. The fact that the protagonist is a woman in her late 30s brings such a refreshing perspective on the woes and joys of life. I read this book last Fall when it was a particularly rough time for me and I was going through a lot of changes. This really grounded my feelings.

Norwegian Wood, Haruki Murakami. I know Murakami gets a lot of shit for how he writes female characters but I adore the female characters in this novel, particularly Naoko and Midori. I love how he describes their emotions through dialogue. It is so cut and dry at times it hits straight to my gut. The conclusion and resolution left me thinking for months.

Flowers for Algernon, Daniel Keyes. Until recently I just discovered this was a required reading in a lot of American schools, which was a surprise because I thoroughly enjoyed reading this and quite frankly most of my assigned readings in school were not as interesting. I really really really enjoyed learning more about the character of Charlie through diary entries. And how his style of writing changes as he goes through so many trials and tribulations to only end up back to where he started. Really a think piece for me.

Snow Country, Yasunari Kawabata. I absolutely adored the imagery in this novel. It also left me thinking for days, and I still cannot articulate myself properly to describe it. Wonderful read.

Bones and All, Camille DeAngelis. I hold Maren so near and dear to my heart. The idea of using cannibalism as an allegory for coming-of-age brings such a unique and powerful perspective to girlhood, something I had been searching for in so many novels but never quite received. Maren and Lee’s relationship is both sweet and tragic. The movie is also wonderful.

All About Lily Chou Chou. I first watched this movie when I was 14 or 15, which I should not have done lol. Its subject matters are so dark, and I feel so badly for all the female characters in this movie. The message it sends is so simple, but the cinematography is both beautiful and haunting.

Artists/Songs;

Ethel Cain. By far my number one inspo lol. I do not use Spotify regularly besides to create playlists but I feel like she would be my number one listened to. I adore her ep Inbred, particularly the songs Michelle Pfeiffer and Crush. They are such yearning songs, and describe how I love so so personally. Of course, Preacher’s Daughter is a masterpiece of an album. Strangers and Family Tree are my favourites

Mitski. I honestly do not know how to express how much of an influence she has been on everything I produce. I’ve raved about her so much. Puberty 2 will always, always, always be the soundtrack to my highschool life lol it is honestly concerning how much I was listening to her in year 9. Bury me at makeout creek will always inspire me to write romance. It just gets me into the mood to both drown and create.

Gracie Abrams. I love the simplicity of her lyrics, and some of my works are written honestly based on one lyric that I might find out stuck out to me for many of her things. I find her music so universal and open to interpretation, and I love that! I think that it leaves a lot of room to think, it can apply to so many people and touch so many topics. I particularly love songs from the deluxe version of her album Good Riddance (405, Two People, Unsteady) I listened to Two People writing the hanshin expressway lol.

Beabadoobee. I love Beatrice, I have been listening to her for so long. I love how she is so expressive with all of her songs and genres and lyrics. Honestly, I love her entire discography. Like I do not think I do not have a song of hers I skip.

Japanese Breakfast. I love Michelle. Her songs all feel like warm hugs! And also some of them want to make me dance! I listened to her so much taking the train home back from uni when I needed a pick me up lol.

[une-touille-en-vadrouille]

C'était mon premier jour de location de voiture ! Une fois que j'ai pu faire apprendre à mes cellules de Purkinje que non, je ne vais pas mourir en allant à 110, et que non, je n'ai pas besoin de serrer les fesses comme une barbare dans un virage, le trajet s'est plutôt bien passé. J'ai même réussi à prendre un rond point à l'envers (enfin à l'endroit pour les locaux hein) sans mourir.

Et sinon, à part ça, j'ai vu pleiiiiin de trucs. C'est magique, la voiture ça va vachement plus vite qu'à pied. J'ai donc longé le littoral pendant un petit bout de temps, et diantre, ce que c'était beau.

J'ai croisé au passage une petite surprise géologique très sympa :

Je ne sais pas si ça se voit en petit, mais les roches sont "quadrillées". Elles sont quadrillées creusés côté falaise, et en en mode boule de pain côté mer : les plans de faille se sont crées de façon entrecroisée partout, mais les roches les plus loin de la mer ont le sel qui a le temps de se cristalliser. A cause de ça, c'est surtout le dessus de la roche qui est érodée. A l'inverse, plus près de l'eau, le sel ne se forme pas bien : c'est le sable qui frotte dans les plans de faille qui érode la roche. Et hop, on a un pavé naturel très étrange sur le bord de mer ! Dans le coin, on avait aussi un "blowhole", qui recrache des grand panaches d'eau en l'air quand la mer est agitée. Pas de ça aujourd'hui, mais ça restait très beau.

Ensuite, vu que la voiture c'est bien, mais marcher c'est mieux, je suis partie faire une petite rando de 10km, dont j'imaginais le dénivelé positif assez léger puisque mon lieu de départ et d'arrivée étaient à peu près à la même altitude.

Alors. 2248 marches plus tard (oui, quand on n'a pas de compagnon de voyage, on s'occupe comme on peut), je peux vous confirmer qu'il peut tout à fait y avoir pleiiiiin de collines à monter et descendre entre les fameux deux points.

Du coup ça m'a pris 3h15 (et encore, ils disaient 4h sur les panneaux, j'ai bien marché !), ce qui m'a permis de voir des très jolies lumières au coucher de soleil !

C'est beau hein ? :3

En plus, sur le chemin, j'ai vu un echidne à 10cm (pas farouche la bestiole), et ce croisement inespéré entre un chat, un marsupial et une souris. Très chou.

Voilaaaa, si on oublie le fait que mon auberge de jeunesse avait certes des lits de dispo, mais personne à l'accueil pour me fournir des clés "parceque l'hiver, ça ferme à 18h!" Alors que AAAAARGH quelle auberge ferme l'accueil à l'heure où les gens arrivent ?! Et que du coup je suis dans une chambre d'hôtel à 70 balles et que je me suis sérieusement demandé si je n'allais pas plutôt dormir dans la voiture (mais bon, quand même, il fait 11°, et j'ai besoin de recharger mon téléphone pour demain). Du coup, sans ce petit bout là, la journée était parfaite 😘

Cine: The Half of It (2020)

La necesidad, dicen, tiene cara de hereje. Lo último que Ellie Chu (Leah Lewis) querría es dedicar su talento a escribir melosas y ajenas cartas de amor. Acostumbrada como está a escribir ensayos escolares para sus compañeros, tarea por la que recibe dinero, toma la idea casi como una traición a su esencia. Pero las urgencias con la energía eléctrica la convencen rápidamente de ofrecer sus servicios a Paul Munsky (Daniel Diemer), un muchacho algo torpe, pero con aptitudes culinarias, que desea que le escriba una carta para lograr la atención de Aster Flores (Alexxis Lemire).

Claro que lo que comenza con una sencilla epístola, con la que Ellie desea mostrar un perfil cultural, aunque inexistente, de Paul, continúa con una serie de mensajes de texto en la que desarrolla sin tapujos sus verdaderos sentimientos hacia Aster. La acción, valga decir, transcurre en un pueblito pequeño llamado Squahamish, donde el poderío deportivo del equipo de fútbol americano colegial brilla por su ausencia y la fuerza de la religión domina cada esquina.

Hay mucho de bueno en esta sorpresa que puede verse en Netflix. Su guionista y directora, Alice Wu comparte el origen chino de su protagonista (Edwin, el padre de Ellie, fue interpretado por Collin Chou, actor y artisma marcial taiwanés), a la que dota de una inteligencia que resalta entre la mediocridad general. Basada en parte por la pieza teatral Cyrano de Bergerac (1897), Wu ofrece una película cálida y feroz a la vez, en la que critica convencionalismos e hipocresías, pero con un toque de humanidad que nos lleva a empatizar hasta con los personajes menores como Trig, el corpulento novio de Aster (Wolfgang Novogratz), el díacono Flores, padre del objeto de afecto de Paul (Enrique Murciano) o la Sañora Geselchap (Becky Ann Baker), la ácida profesora de Literatura.
