The Bonkers Challenge

tagged by @theancientvaleofsoulmaking

Rules: If you wanna participate, reccomend 4 movies that are weird but you enjoy. After reccomending, you must pick one film (That you haven't seen) from each participant's recommendations. You will watch and give your thoughts on your chosen films.

Original thread here.

I might not watch one movie from each previous participant, but I will try to watch one from the person who tagged me. So it'll be Bill (2014), as I've seen your 3 other recs (albeit it was all ages ago!)

And here are my recs. They are Very Bonkers!

Return of the Killer Tomatoes

People often make fun of George Clooney for starting his career with such a B-movie, but mind you, it's not just a B-movie, it's THE B-movie. It's weird, low budget, and, well, bad, but they know it, and they actually make fun of it, in a million ways. The script is actually smarter than it looks. All the way to the post-credit scene! And yes, George Clooney makes pizzas.

Batman, The Movie (1966)

Not unlike the previous one, this movie is a parody of itself in a hilarious way. It's stupid and funny at the same time. Holy movie, Batman! Superheroes sure used to not take themselves too seriously. Also, I can't hear any scientist mentioning "heavy water" without bursting out laugh, because of that movie.

Hunt for the Wilderpeople

Okay, something more serious and more recommendable for a change, if you're interested in actual A-movies. Taika Waititi doesn't really need introduction anymore, since he's become such a big shot, but this movie, despite not being his most famous, is actually my favorite of his. Probably because it has a sincerily and authenticity to it. A grumpy old man and a grumpy young kid get to know each other, which someone softens them both.

Burn After Reading

I could pick a dozen of Coen brothers movies, and originally thought of O Brother (as a Great Depression AU of the Odysseus, it absolutely qualifies as "bonkers" I believe) but since I often rec that one as part of my favorite movies list, I decided to pick another of the Coen brothers crazy movies. As often with the Coens, a couple of idiots get caught up in a story bigger than them and it all goes South, really fast. It's crazy for sure, with a stellar cast, and Brad Pitt in what might be his greatest role XD

tagging @amalthea9 @ascreamintothevoid-blog @thesymphonytrue @silverfoxstole @penna-nomen @donfadrique @whirlwind-lancer-dilan and whoever else wants to share some bonkers movies!

happy watching!

#a meme!#thanks for the tag #movie recs #we need to do a movie rewatch #also if you can't find them #i'd be happy to share #return of the killer tomatoes #and #batman the movie 1966

was talking to my brother the other day after i rewatched dark phoenix and he was like 'why is everyone so mean to charles in this movie?? were they always this mean to him ?? is it cause he's bald now- he lost his pretty privilege??' and i fear i havent recovered

#xmen #xmen movies #dark phoenix #charles xavier #professor x #snap chats #LIKE HE'S RIGHT 1000% I JUST DIDN'T EXPECT HIM TO SAY IT VLERKVJAKLJ #ANOTHER banger of a quote from my brother chat i screamed when he said that #adopting that into my belief system i fear #like really thinking on it they really did only start being especially rude after apocalypse im crying #dont quote me on that i have to rewatch apocalypse but as far as im aware. yeah 😭😭#and its SUCH a travesty cause i love how mcavoy looked in DP SO much he looks so good bald #like please if we were going to wrap up this era of xmen films why did we have to rerun DP #can we try again. please. i need him bald one more time in a movie i dont have to argue with myself i like #see DP wasnt the worst thing ever. probably. like scott got to do things again ..... and kurt .......#and the paris proposal. never forget that.#ALSO THE FUCKIN. 'no one cares charles' BIT ???? 97 ref'd that directly i know they did and i cheered #listen if they can ref the 'black leather suits' from the xmen movies i can believe they called back to that too <- delusional #anyway when james said thats the meanest thing erik could say/do to charles .... he was cooking ....#'thats the type of thing your wife/husband says' he was so right .... we know james never misses with the cherik takes tho #ok bye i have obligations that i need to complete so i can draw my favorite cue ball

I think Mutant Mayhem is the first tmnt propriety to make Leo my favorite turtle right off the bat.

Not that I don’t like Leo anywhere else, but usually it takes me like a second rewatch or something to really pick apart Leo’s character in full to appreciate him- and even then he’s usually not my favorite.

But MM Leo is my favorite for reasons I cannot identify.

Maybe it’s the way he walks, his cringe fail personality, I don’t know but I care about this loser so much.

Idk he cares so much abt his siblings despite the fact that they can be so mean to him sometimes. He is also the one who continually pushes to do the right thing when theres nothing (or even sometimes worst things) to gain from it.

Even his attempts at being cool come off as dorkish but it’s charming in a way only little kids can be. In a ‘you’re doing your best sweetie’. Leo is a single mother of three while also being a teenage boy, that takes work.

He’s such a silent but calculating character, ironically when he doesn’t try so hard and does what he feels is right he gets the best results (ie his leader speech, the plan to be accepted, gaining the acceptance of other mutants) for all his fumbling and try hard attitude he has such natural potential it’s insane.

#tmnt #mutant mayhem #mm leonardo #character appreciation #idk I might do a proper one where I go into his character in depth this was more of me rambling #It’s so weird this has never happened #like usually I need to warm up to Leo’s character with a few episodes or a rewatch of a movie #but after the first watch of MM I had the adoption papers in my hand #idk what it is maybe it’s the inner Kinnie or the fact that we see him struggle so hard #like he fumbled the bag so much!!!#he was nervous he was not confident!!! he literally looked to Donnie for every strategic plan #and yet we see him try so hard too #like he lies to splinter to make his brothers happy he snitched on his brothers bc of his honor #Leo literally was at his best when he listened to himself and trusted in his decisions #and obviously if Leo trusted in every decision he made we wouldn’t have a movie and they wouldn’t be going to school #BUT I hope tottmnt look into that where Leo doesn’t have confidence in himself and it makes things harder #there’s so much that happens in the silence of this movie- everyone say thank you to Hanna Cho!!!!#it wasn’t just her but she was specifically credited with the silent expressions in this movie and I love her for that

Something I've been thinking a lot about lately is how everyone thought Egon had gone insane. What Happened that made them think that. They've fought a gigantic Stay Puft Marshmellow Man TWICE (counting the 2009 video game because iirc it's canon? Correct me if I'm wrong), fought an interdimensional god, fought a blood thirsty ruler that killed thousands and was hated by all that was trapped in a painting (and managed to get in to beat him by making THE STATUE OF LIBERTY start walking down the street with slime that reacted purely based on vibes), found an underground abandoned transit system full of the moodslime, had a bathtub try to eat Dana and her baby, fought a giant murderous black widow lady, fought the fisherman ghost who turned an entire hotel floor into the bottom of a ocean, and that's not even mentioning them getting trapped on an island that randomly raised up from underwater that had been abandoned for decades created by Ivor Shandor who worshipped Gozer. So what did he do or say that made everyone else think he'd gone insane?? All I can think is maybe he was acting strange / eratic before, but he's always been like that to some degree.

I don't know. It's something that I've been thinking about. The correct answer is 'it's not that deep and they needed a reason that the others weren't together anymore and weren't aware of Egons death or know what was going on,' but also. What Was He Saying that prompted everyone, including Ray, to think he lost his mind when he'd been right almost every time before that.

I'm genuinely so curious as to what he was up to before this. What was he doing. What insane idea was working on prior to this or was he even working on anything at all??

Also want to clarify this post isn't negative 😭 I really love the newer movies and their lore / the newer storyline / characters, I just like thinking about small stupid things like this. Gives me something to think about / speculate about / figure out an answer to.

#ghostbusters #egon spengler #nikolas posts #I have so many thoughts on it because I've just been rewatching the two movies on loop for the past few days.#All we got was Ray saying that he'd started talking about the end of the world (IIRC) and that he went insane and took everything #when he eventually left to deal with it on his own #which for the record it's extremely impressive that he would've stopped Gozer from returning BY HIMSELF. The only reason it hadn't worked #was because of the electricity issue #Hiding all the traps and setting up the proton packs to fire at the hell pit?? Insanity. He's just on a complete different level of existin #Like they were aware of Ivor Shandor and his plans long before??? They found his ISLAND DEDICATED TO GOZER who had full intention of #BRINGING THEM BACK #it's really Really REALLY not this deep but I have thoughts and I wanted to share them. Maybe someone else might have an idea I #couldn't think of or might have something to add.#I guess it could be a 'they beat Gozer once and assumed they were gone' but that wasn't the first time Gozer 'died' so??#if I missed something Please tell me. I haven't watched the newer movies as much as the older ones (I grew up watching them / playing #the game so I'm more familiar with the older lore and haven't had the chance to rewatch the newer ones 1000 times over unfortunately)#so it's entirely possible I missed something #I'd think maybe it was just because they were older but I really don't think thats the case. I have reasoning for it but I need to do #the math to make sure I'm getting the ages right by the time AfterLife happens.#really need to make a chart / timeline of all the events that happened and what year / month / day they happened. That's a project #for tomorrow perhaps.#anyways if anyones reading this sorry for the insane rambling and congrats for making it to the end #also this post isn't negative I adore the newer movies so much. I love them a lot and I genuinely don't really care about this at all #just a thing to think / ponder / speculate about if that makes sense #I enjoy thinking about stupid irrelevant stuff like this #so so so many thoughts

@joelletwo i am going to keep my ears peeled for other opportunities but my brain did just spontaneously generate a Song of Standing Up parody of Start of Something New from high school musical so i am sharing it with you immediately. it goes a little something like this:

this is the song! of standing up! it feels so right! to be standing up! (woah) and now! that i'm standing up! i feel in my heart how much i'm standing up...

#sidenote do i need to rewatch high school musical??? i don't know what it is about this movie #this awkward earnestness that is usually so uncomfortable for me is just cute and dorky when zac efron does it #i am NOT getting back on my Year of watching all of zac efron's movies bullshit but his dumb little mouth movements...#i kind of want to rewatch high school musical #lyrics #my posts #if it helps to imagine that we are singing this as a karaoke duet on new years eve surrounded by cheering teenagers...that is an option!#i might edit out the teenagers in my own mind though. but i feel like having a standing up buddy (even if only the homunculus in my #mind palace that i have named after you) is very helpful in motivating me to go through with the standing up #why does my browser not know the word homunculus. this is a very normal word jessica get with the program

I JUST REALIZEd. Lcsys as the Truman show (if you haven't watched that, it's about this guy who gets his life entirely broadcasted as a TV show but he doesn't know about it)

OOHHH yes >:O It's been a while since I've seen the movie so I wasn't able to remember many specific details, but like a lot of people that last scene really stuck with me

There's an added level of weirdness that Es has to come to terms with when the reveal finally happens -- the fact that this audience actually knows more about them than themself. (I think if it were real, Milgram's dedicated fanbase could have tracked down Es' true identity by the end.) These people see Es' every move, hear their every word, scrutinize their every decision, and knew their real name long before they did...

On a sillier note, I remember the scene with the advertisements and I'm laughing picturing the prisoners trying to hype up their own mv release dates. Es posts the interrogation schedule and every five seconds someone is like, "Oh Wow! I Can't Believe My Song Will Be Extracted On Wednesday March Fifth At Six O'Clock PM Japan Standard Time! I'm So Nervous For Wednesday March Fifth At Six O'Clock PM Japan Standard Time!"

#milgram #es #lights camera sing your sins #thank you so much for the ask! i love that comparison omg 👀👀👀#now im gonna need to go rewatch the movie.......#i tried to replicate the weird stair/step architecture we see in the cells in undercover #in the original scene the sky is projected onto a wall -- i wanted to do something with the videos projected around es but it got #way too busy to look at #my art

wah i looove their designs and animation...

#sketched last night looped ''hot air balloon'' track last night rewatched elemental last night you know just how it is....i love it all augh #elemental #elemental 2023 #pixar elemental #elemental fanart #ember lumen #wade ripple #it's so fun how just going w/the flow waviness drawing a wade is Correct. some flamey shiveriness / jaggedness in ember's lines is Correct #and it's all the more fun how it's like oh ofc not quite hitting the mark of how great their designs really are....so so good #and of course the expressive elasticity not only with their faces but the way their bodies ft. respective elements can be expressive #in addition to just usual [assume you have a usual literal human body] expressiveness options in posture / movement etc lol #also was thinking about how like we know everything we Need to know re: wade & his dad but also have so [zero details there]#which is interesting to wonder about. kinda assumed like oh a parent got sick & died but now considering how it could've been an accident..#the tiny layer of A Reaction he has when ember's talking abt parents giving up everything for you: could be nothing much; or Anything #also noting i Didn't note the first instances that they hear each other's names or introduce themselves thusly lol #or at least i sure can't recall it. just start knowing the other's name partway through which Isn't A Problem but it's like #ooh just more to consider & reexamine. i love to pick up More Details & that's helped by my difficulty in catching them in the first place #one thing about me i don't Catch things i don't Notice shit i don't Get stuff. and also of course: i do though lol #always a trip when it's like oh i love this movie i'm seeing it probably the two dozenth time #and then i notice something for the very first time that was clearly straightup meant to be Gotten upon the immediate viewing #even to the extent that smthing later seems to be kinda happening out of nowhere if you didn't. & i'd just rolled with it #like ok i'm autistic ofc that's something i gotta do all the time. & the adhd means i might keep getting distracted around the same pts.

Beside Bojji and Kage, who's your favs in Ousama? and what are ur favourite moments/episodes? :)

Hi!! Ty for your ask!

I love that big three headed snake, Mitsumata…

I also love the three royal brothers of the underworld and how even though Despa and Desha don’t get along they work well together when it comes to their little brother Okuen 🥺

Queen Hilling is also amazing and I adore the subversion of the evil stepmother trope 🥺

There so many good moments but every-time Kage and Bojj reunite 😭💖🥺

(And also Boji fighting his dad tbh that was so cool)

#tbh most of the characters r so well written #and i find myself liking most even when they do awful things aha #ousama ranking #ranking of kings #asks #i need to rewatch it #but we have a movie coming out at somepoint im hype

unlike some men *cough* daemon *cough* , milo would be more than HAPPY to be the king consort to kida. hell , he doesn't even see himself as such when he decides to stay in a.tlantis with her. he just sees himself as a lucky guy to be at her side.

#˗ˏˋ ᵖʳᵒˡᵒᵍᵘᵉ· out of character ﹕ with all due respect.#tbd.#milo truly is just: im just happy to be here #he def. helps her in figuring out the tech of any new #atlantis objects/vehicles they find but otherwise he's just #there to support #the stay at home husband if u will xD #obv while continuing to research & stuff ofc #i need to do more milo things i love my boy #maybe its time to rewatch the movie again :D #also sorry i am always eye daggers at d.aemon targaryen #we gonna fight one day gdfngkjnfngkjnfdkjg

#xmen #xmen dofp #cherik #charles xavier #erik lehnsherr #snap chats #AND THE FACT ITS QUICKSILVER LMAO is that cause he hates you in like. every timeline im gone bruh doin your old man like that #sorry i was rewatching DOFP because i really needed bitter exes cherik before i went back to college #and the quicksilver segment is already one of my fave moments in the film #1.) its gen a cool sequence 2.) Time In A Bottle is an excellent song #but i was wathcin the movie with my brother and he insinuated the song was cherik adjacent and ouugh i died a little #like how did /i/ not pick up on that ..... my bro dont even fw cherik like that he knows I DO tho #its so funny im invested in marvel for the first time in about a decade and im back to just yaoi on the dome #same as when i was 15 the more things change the more things stay the same etc etc #oh but yeah anyway. what if we all died.#i still think of that Alleged cut bit from the script where (old) erik was supposed to die in charles' arms when the sentinels come #like genuinely i might have just thrown my whole tv away i couldnt handle that !!!!!!!!!!#i love old cherik i fear ........ i love the young version too ofc but theres just a special spot in my soul for old man yaoi vlaekvjeal

Films good movies good banshees of inisherin was good

#mfw a movie has irish slang in it and i am familiar with it instead of usamerican stuff #i have Some Thoughts on the setting of inisherin + the time period given the givens abt the aran islands #but nothing concrete. might meditate on it #like ok im no scholar on the aran islands ive been there a couple times ive read a couple articles thats it #but like. the tourism leaning into their image of Old Irish Villagín With Sheeps And Stone Walls basically overruns its reputation #and the islands have leaned hard into the tourism and portraying themselves as True Irish Old Villages or whatever #and thus settles the situation where like. everything about the islands pander to the tourists #the islands themselves are not doing well as places to live iirc #aging population people moving away lack of amenities and funding and resources that arent Tourism #its a gaeltacht but the tourism business mandates knowing english etc etc etc lotsa shit #like i had a school friend from an island and she was always unreachable on breaks bcos the island didnt have wifi #SO! the islands around ireland suffer from lack of facilities while bending to tourism bcos they gotta #BACK 2 BANSHEES to be clear inisherin isnt an actual island but it was filmed on inish mór and very clearly based on the arans #i like the island setting bcos of the sense of isolation it gives i think it was a good choice for the movie #HOWEVER its like. you know the thing where all irish media needs to be set in the old times #when we were all wearing aran wool jumpers and playing our little instruments and being cute historical dotes #yeah. that. compounded with the aran islands wicked having to play into that in the present day #like banshees itself isnt that bad an offender. the island setting just makes it more obvious and you could tick lines off on a bingo sheet #(shoutout to the obligatory civil war reference)#where was i going with this. im tired of weird 'back when ireland was ireland' shit being Thee thing to make art abt #this is why young offenders is the best piece of irish cinema this decade. i need to rewatch the young offenders

sigh someone on twitter extolled the virtues of furiosa and said it was better than fury road. I just saw furiosa. they are wrong.

#the brilliant thing about MMFD was how it needed no backstory.#it required no explanation of who these people were or why they wanted what they wanted #that story gripped you by the throat and pulled you along for the ride and by god you took it #bleh. also I didn't really care for the numbered parts of the story that communicated the passage of time #I guess that's where the “saga” came in but I do think one of my favorite parts of MMFD was that...#it was a contained storyline! there were clearly so many other parts/facets of that world we didn't see #but we didn't need to see them becasue that wasnt the story that film was telling #and I feel like ... I dunno. MMFD was perfect. furiosa was not perfect. furiosa was not needed?#we already knew enough from MMFD about why furiosa had wound up as an imperator #seeing the full story I genuinely don't feel like I gained anything new about her and her character #everything we watch her become (or even begin as) in furiosa... all of it is apparent in MMFD #idk this movie felt extraneous. bummer!#good news is i was really worried about ATJ playing furiosa but she did fine. i have no complaints about her!#anyways anyone who wants to discuss come hit me up in the comments or reblogs or askbox whatever #I wish to dig into this lol #man that tweet got my hopes up. but i did not have the reaction to this that i wanted to have #when i saw MMFD in theaters it was a religious experience. that movie rewired my brain. I'd never seen a female action star like furiosa #all furiosa did was make me want to rewatch MMFR #also jesus christ I just realized I'd been typing MMFD for some reason. lol forgive me I'm on my phone sitting in the theater parking lot #pretend I typed MMFR that whole time

Every year for the month of October I make a movie calander- one horror movie a day, every day, for the entire month. My problem now, is that after three years of doing this- I'm starting to..... well, run out isn't the right way to put it... but it's starting to feel like I've seen most of the big hitters.

So the question I'm throwing out there is:

Fans of horror, what movies would you reccomend for this year's October watch?

I'm looking for anything and everything. I will watch silent black and white films. I read subtitles and I'm not opposed to hunting down a niche foreign horror/thriller. PLEASE DO NOT GIVE SPOILERS I would like to go into the movies blind (trigger warnings are very welcome, though)

#horror movies #october #spooktober #idk what tags to use. im really just assuming this post will find those it needs to before october this year #i really love the classic slasher movies. monster movies. creature features.#im not super into found footage (mostly because shaky cam makes me motion sick) but if someone has an absolute gem hidden somewhere......#id be willing to check it out #just!!!!! please help my bf has seen so much horror too. we need New Stuff #i dont wanna do a ton of rewatches this year. i wanna pick as many new movies as possible #dream goal is finding a solid 45 movies so i can have backups in case i cant for some reason find one on the list #“certainly tumblr user transsexula knows enough vampire movies!” FALSE i NEVER have enough vampire movies. give me ur niche vamp movies #give me gore give me scares give me heavy makeup #hell i love campy funny horror too #ANYTHING JUST GIMME ANY SUGGESTIONS PLEASE 😩

ik they're like problematic so people might have a problem with using them but tbh ezra miller is the best fit for a sirius fancast i've seen so far and i think more people should use them

#post-its #i mean there's also the fact that they play some hp character or whatever in those prequel movies but who really gaf #i rewatched pobaw and patrick is kinda sirius coded #i also watched we need to talk about kevin with my roommate last week and if they didn't do like crazy and weird things #i would speak my truth that i hashtag needthat #sirius black #marauders #wolfstar #i'm anti ben barnes and i just never see ppl's vision for him like he's like some greek sculpture in my head so i'm picky abt fancasts

So does anyone else ever think about how Future Leo and Future Mikey are technically the original Leo and Mikey from the series since the turtles in the movie are somewhat new ones in a different timeline and the hopeful kids we originally watch our first time during the show all end up dying in the Krang Apocalypse or just me?
