Clerks (1995)

In today's review, I find the comforts of a TV sitcom rarely match the pressures of life or retail. As I attempt a #positive review of the 1995 pilot of Clerks #AndrewLowery #JimBreuer #RickGomez #NoelleParker #AndréNemec #BodhiElfman #KeriRussell

When Kevin Smith created Randall Graves and Dante Hicks back in ’93, I don’t think even he knew how much of an impact they would have on the pop-culture scene, taking the college dropout to international fame. In 1995, as the film was putting the indie scene on the path of the cultural zeitgeist, a certain company, Touchstone Television, was looking to put the tale to terrestrial T.V. audiences,…

I am a younger sister to a brother. Knowing each other for as long as we have, we have a way we look at each other that spans decades of sibling hood. There are private jokes that will make us giggle. Seething irritation that no one else makes me feel but him.

Siblings are hard to play on t.v. and in movies. Most the time, as a viewer I don't believe that the siblings being portrayed grew up together. That is a clencher for me. I have stopped watching a show based off the lack of chemistry by the performance of the actors playing the siblings.

Personally, I think that is why I love Supernatural so much is because of the believability of Jensen and Jared as siblings. Jensen and Jared just just sold the performance so we'll and that is amazing because like I said, playing siblings is very hard. Thankfully, they made it look easy. I never once felt like Sam and Dean weren't related.

Also, knowing that Jensen and Jared are both the middle child in their families sold it too.

I need to watch I Saw the TV Glow again but it needs to be in the comfort of my room at 3am like god intended, the same way I watched Howl and the Suicide Room and Brokeback Mountain and trans YouTubers when I was 12 years old, looking for myself in media because I couldn't see it in the world around me. I'M IN THE SAME HOUSE, I'M IN THE SAME BODY

another reason we should always have physical media is because the internet is not forever. it is very common to lose internet and not power. and the quality can drop, if you're driving and listening to music it could go through a bad spot and lose connection. there are a lots of places in the world where there is no internet at all.

Horror Month 2024: Halloween with the New Addams Family (1977)

I know I’ve kept things a little too light throughout this month. I want to have a bit of variety, but I may have been relying too much on films that are comedic or family-friendly. I had this one more to get out of my system for nostalgic reasons. Afterwards, I’m going to focus more on the darker side of things. I say “nostalgic” yet I barely remember this film. I wasn’t born yet when it came…

Film: I SAW THE T.V. GLOW (dir. Jane Schoenbrun, 2024, USA)

Forum: Movieland at Boulevard Square, Richmond, VA   Format: DCP

Observations: Out of town and with an evening to kill, I caught up with this highly regarded title, a fantasy about two outsiders who - beginning in the 1990s - bond over a Nickelodeon/Disney-type show for tweens, freakishly blending with the show's heroes. It completely worked for me, especially as characters age and disappear over the twenty years of the story. Looks and sounds beautiful, too. Even though it's at the end of its run, the theater was about half-full, meaning that folks are still connecting with the seeing this at the show.

so, the newest trailer for the reboot of Twister, "Twisters" dropped yesterday.

on the surface, it's not really something to write home about. classic disaster porn of a movie.

the plot definitely is where i took my first issue. sure, the original 1996 Twister was campy and some of the scenes involving tornadoes were silly, but the main goal of the characters is that they became chasers and scientists to obtain data on the formation of tornadoes to increase the amount of warning time we can give the general public. a noble one, especially since it is still the main goal of meteorologists today nearly 20 years later.

in "Twisters", our main protagonist wants to discover a way to "disrupt" tornadoes. so, my guess is that she and her handsome co-star are going to find a way to stop the Super Mega Crazy tornado that's for sure going to be at the end of the movie. very dumb. and she has a phd? ok.

however, that silliness all but pales in comparison to what i'm actually upset and outright angry about.

during the last 30 seconds or so of the trailer, a tornado is currently hitting and destroying a town. our main characters are fleeing from debris as the storm closes in. the last shot of this scene, focuses on the water tower's supports collapsing under the force of the winds, and for a few seconds, we can read the name of said town being destroyed: El Reno.

El Reno is a relatively small city in Oklahoma, USA. In 2013, the widest tornado ever recorded formed on the outskirts of El Reno. it clocked in at over 2.6 miles wide (~4.2 km) and had the 2nd highest wind speeds measured on Earth at over 291mph (~468km/h).

video: The Storm Chasing Channel

for reference, from the video above, this is the scale of the entire circulation:

the storm thankfully stayed over a fairly rural portion of Oklahoma and therefore, didn't cause nearly as much catastrophic damage it could have. however, this being an impressive storm is not the only reason why this day lives in infamy amongst the weather community.

El Reno's tornado was unique on top of its incredible storm structure. the tornado was rain wrapped, which means that the classic condensation funnel most people associate with tornadoes,

was completely obscured by a dense layer of wind and rain.

these types of tornadoes are especially dangerous because you can't see them. in El Reno's case, the storm was such a rain-wrapped mess that no one in the vicinity could really tell just how large it really became. add to that, it took a path that most tornadoes usually do not and did a nearly 360 degree change in direction as it scoured the ground. for a more comprehensive breakdown of that days events, i'd highly recommend watching this Weather Channel's analysis video.

tornadoes this large usually contain multiple vortices, which are the funnels of wind that do most of the catastrophic damage associated with ones like this. these vortices are what led to the death of 3 experienced storm chasers: Tim Samaras, his son, Paul Samaras, and Carl Young.

in total, 8 people died as a result of the El Reno tornado.

now, what puzzles me most about this being a detail in this trailer, let alone in the movie, is why. the original Twister is what got many people my age and older into storm chasing and weather in general. and if you're at all familiar with the history of tornadoes, which i'm more than certain a fair majority of their intended audience is, then they are going to 100% recognize the town on that water tower and what it means to the community.

if this had simply been a crazy, unique storm that went through the open plains, i would have no issue with them putting this little nod to El Reno in. but the fact of the matter is, this tornado took 3 experienced chasers from us and killed 5 other civilians.

i just find it incredibly distasteful and disrespectful. it would be like having them try to stop a tornado from destroying Moore--a town that was impacted by the last rated EF5 in the same year, 2013. people died. you couldn't have made up a town name?

this whole thing has had me in a tizzy since i saw the trailer yesterday and it compelled me to make this thread that is v specific and probably no one will care about... but I CARE!!! what the hell!!! FUCK YOU "TWISTERS"!!!!! BOOOO!!!

I guess movies, books and T.V shows do influence me. I have learned to never take any food or beverages from strangers. I might end up being tortured or killed. You never know.

“A Royal Treatment”, I believe is the name you’re looking for. :)

As for the movie cameos, think of them like documentaries, or actors portraying a true story. XD
