Isolation marathon (Part 7).


This one is pretty late.
Duologies!
And it's only half of what was on the list.
And....it's gonna be the last one.

Isolation marathon (Part 12).

"Part 12?!?!? Wasn't the last one part 6.5?!?!", you must be thinking

Yeah, but I'm jumping far ahead, cuz I wanted to do this one, and I have all the others planned out pretty tightly.

I wanted to get it done in time for Halloween, but I didn't make it.

AND, I wanted to do it since way back at part 2, but I got side-tracked.

Anyway, its....

Isolation marathon (Part 6.5).


Yeah, this one took multiple months, and I never even got to the category for part 7.
I still want to do part 7, so that's why this is 6.5.
Just didn't wanna re-shuffle the numbers.
The delay was Clovis stuff, and family stuff, and not-dying-from-covid stuff.
It's rough for everyone.
Even hermits like me.

Isolation marathon (Part 6).


Man, took me awhile to get to this one, huh?
Sorry 'bout that.
Y'know, stuff going on...
Anyhoo!!
Superhero trilogies!!


Captain America trilogy.
Captain America: The First Avenger (2011)
Captain America: The Winter Soldier (2014)
Captain America: Civil War (2016)



Old reviews-

First Avenger.
Winter Soldier.
Civil War.

Yep, instead of always keeping the whole MCU in one big iceberg all the time, I decided to sift characters out.
Wanted to see how just the Caps play as a trilogy pretending I didn't see any of the others.
Holy shit, do they play!!

Fuck it, I'll say it, best trilogy in the MCU, and tied with Dark Knight for best superhero trilogy, period.

Yeah, the Avengers movies are incredible, but they're a quadrilogy.
Disqualified by math y'see.

Speaking of Dark Knight...


The Dark Knight Trilogy.
Batman Begins (2005)
The Dark Knight (2008)
The Dark Knight Rises (2012)



Old reviews-

Begins.
Knight.
Rises.

It's like binge-ing a miniseries.
Magnificent.
Goddamned masterpiece.
And for the trillionth time, fuck the "Rises", haters.
With a lotion dipped icicle.


Snyder-verse trilogy.
Man Of Steel (2013)
Batman v Superman: Dawn Of Justice (2016)
Justice League (2017)




Old reviews-

MoS
BvS
JL

Another epic miniseries.
And no, I didn't watch this cuz of the Snyder Cut of JL coming soon; it was on the list when I started in March after the last one of these.

And the JL Whedon Cut bashers can kiss my balls too.
Is it a perfect film?
Hell no.
But I love the humor, and it's a breath of fresh air after the gloom in BvS.
I love BvS, I'm just saying.
We needed a "Return Of The Jedi", after BvS's Empire.
Maybe the Snyder Cut will be bright and happy too, but I doubt it.


Classic Superman.
Superman The Movie (1978)
Superman II (1980)
Superman III (1983)



Old reviews here.

They still hold up!
And I still defend 3.
It has great moments.

Now, I left out 4, and Returns, cuz the original 3 were planned out as a trilogy.
1 & 2 were shot back to back, and 3 is advertised right in the credits of 2.
4 was a cash grab from Cannon, and Returns was retroactive decades later.


Raimi Spider-Man.
Spider-Man (2002)
Spider-Man 2 (2004)
Spider-Man 3 (2007)



Original reviews here.

Love me some Kirsten Dunst.
Although, Mary Jane is kind of a crybaby brat in 3.
Anyway, I didn't get to complete this trilogy, cuz it turns out my DVD of 3 is broken.
It gets to when Sandman re-constitutes himself from mud, and starts to break up, and then when bad-Peter goes to the jazz club, it crashes.
If I bother to replace 3, I may as well upgrade all 3 to blu-ray.
On the list that goes....


Hulk (jury-rigged)
Hulk (2003)
The Incredible Hulk (2008)
Thor Ragnarok (2017)



Old reviews of the first two here and here.
Ragnarok here.

Now, I explained my logic of why I canonize Ang Lee's Hulk in the second link, but here it is again...

...you can kinda make this work in continuity with the other one.
If you pretend the gamma ray chair is a failed cure, instead of what turned him, and that the reason he doesn't grow three sizes anymore, is Absorbing Man drained off his extra radiation.

Why would you want to keep this one?
Well, all the other heroes have some emotional backstory, but you don't quite get that in the Ed Norton one.
With this one, you get that Banner's emotional baggage comes from his psycho dad.

And, that gives another layer to the Banner/Stark friendship in Avengers, they both have daddy issues.

Yeah, this one is in my canon.

Plus, it was Universal's intention that it be canon.
"Hulk", ends with Banner hiding in South America, and "The Incredible Hulk", picks right up with Banner in South America.

As for Ragnarok...you may as well call it "Planet Hulk".
Marvel was giving the finger to Universal yet again.
Come on, kids, play nice.
Don't make me come up there.

Anyway, of course Ragnarok totally blows the other two away, but it's a fun journey getting there through the other two.


First Class Trilogy.
X-Men: First Class (2011)
X-Men: Days Of Future Past (2014)
X-Men: Apocalypse (2016)



Old reviews-

First Class.
Future Past.
Apocalypse.

Y'know...these are the only X-Men movies you really need.
There's nothing in the continuity of the others you desperately miss.
These tell the whole story just fine.

Apocalypse is this trilogy's "Superman 3".
Kinda overblown and goofy, but has wonderful moments.
And its flaws aren't nearly enough to ruin the first two.
Also, there's a nice meta moment where they slam their own movie by having Jean Grey walking out of "Return Of The Jedi", and saying "third ones are always the worst".

I leave out "Dark Phoenix", for similar reasons to "Superman 4".
The trilogy was done, we didn't need a tack-on.

Y'know, the X-Men are really meatier richer characters than the Avengers, they deserve better movies.
These are great, but the MCU needs to do the Dark Phoenix Saga right.
In the comics, that shit makes Infinity War & Endgame look like fucking Carebears.
C'mon, Hollywood, get your goddamned shit together.
Bring Comicbookgirl19 on as an advisor.


Dragon Tattoo/Millennium trilogy.
The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo (2009)
The Girl Who Played With Fire (2009)
The Girl Who Kicked The Hornet's Nest (2009)


Old reviews here.

Glorious.
I need to upgrade to the 3 hour cuts on blu-ray.
They either weren't available in the US when I got them on DVD, or they were ridiculously over priced. I can't remember which.

Now, fuck it, I want everything.
The 3 hours cuts of the Swedish ones, the Roony Mara remake, and "Spider's Web".

And, it bears mentioning the TV series is coming.
Again, as with Snyder Cut, it wasn't planned that way, these were on the list way before the news dropped.

So....why does Lisbeth go on a list of superheroes?
I think she's pop-culturally significant enough to count.
Plus, every superhero doesn't have to have powers.
Batman doesn't.
Punisher doesn't.
Hawkeye doesn't.
Black Widow doesn't.
She hacks, he rides a motorcycle, she uses martial arts and gizmos to bring down bigger guys.
She's basically Batgirl.
An R rated anti-rapist Batgirl without a cape and cowl.

Her only flaw is she needed a better writer for her second trilogy.
Maybe the Amazon show-runners will do better.
Here's hoping.


Tenchi Muyo Movies.
Tenchi The Movie: Tenchi Muyo In Love (1996)
Tenchi The Movie 2: Daughter Of Darkness (1997)
Tenchi Forever (1999)



Old reviews here.

Haven't seen these in ages, and it was about time, I figured.
Plus, I needed to get some anime in there.
Plus, classier animes like Cowboy Bebop don't have trilogies.
Bebop did exactly one goddamned movie.
Ditto Evangelion.
So, Tenchi it is.

Think last time I saw these was my 30's.
Been a lot of growth and change since then, and a lot of water under the bridge with this franchise, I needed to see how I saw them as a 40-something.

Well....differently.
A lot differently.
But the nostalgia glimmers were still there.

To be really sure, I also watched these in Japanese with subtitles for the first time ever, so even the American voice actors wouldn't influence me.

Well...

Tenchi 1/TMIL,...is okay.
It's "Back To The Future", meets "Terminator", with the ending of "Ghostbusters".
Tenchi has to go back in time, and save his parents, or he'll get erased, and there's a big "blow up the giant monster", fight at the end.
Pretty shallow and fluffy.
The love story between his parents is sugary bordering on cringe.
You could plug the characters of any anime series into this plot.
Pretty basic.
But..you could do worse.
Again, it's...okay.
Not an unrestrained thumbs up.
Not all the way to wavey-hand.
Just okay.


Tenchi 2/DoD...is, well, it's better than TMIL.
Not by leaps and bounds, but an improvement.
The villain of TMIL was just a paper thin mustache twirler with no backstory or motivation.
He just blew shit up.
The villains in 2 & 3 are mind-fuckers, and that suits the tone of Tenchi better.
Here, we get Yuzuha who clones a daughter for Tenchi, Mayuka, who's an unwitting/unwilling mole agent sent to capture Tenchi to get petty revenge on Tenchi's grandpa.

The story of the Tenchi family warming up to Mayuka is sugary bordering on cringe (like the Tenchi's parents love story in TMIL).
BUT, the sugary cringe is contrasted with really dark shit where Yuzaha tries to force hypnotic incest between Mayuka and Tenchi for...shits and giggles, basically.
Anime is fucking weird.

But, overall, the characters have more depth, and pathos, and drama, and humor than TMIL, so again, it's still flawed, but an improvement.


Tenchi Forever.
Best of the three, hands down.

Plot is, the ghost of Tenchi's grandpa's former girlfriend kidnaps Tenchi to a parallel holodeck fantasy world where they live and fuck in a Groundhog Day forever.
Ryoko and Aeka have to save him before the holodeck-verse absorbs his lifeforce and collapses.

This one held up.
This genuinely plays with your feels without the sugar and/or cringe.
And the animation and score are gorgeous.
I LOVE this score.
They got the formula right this time.
This is the Ryoko and Ayeka I remember.
I wasn't hallucinating.
This franchise did have shining moments to recommend it.
Now I have to re-watch the series.

Well, I have shows for a future episode of these, on that list it goes.


So, there, that iceberg chunk is finally done.
Next up, superhero duologies.
Cuz a surprising amount of great series stalled out at two.
Hopefully, those will fly by quicker.

Isolation marathon (Part 5).

Meedyah Morsels #241.
-and-
Post 9 away from 3000 posts!

This was/is the rainy day I was collecting all this stuff for, so here we go, let's spin those discs....


Little Shop Of Horrors (1986)
Killer Klowns From Outer Space (1988)
Sleepaway Camp (1983)



Old reviews-

Little Shop- here and here.
Killer Klowns- here.
Sleepaway- here and here.

These just felt right to go together.
Can't explain why.

Little Shop gets better every single time I see it.
Ditto Sleepaway.
Sleepaway might even be my new favorite horror movie.
It's definitely climbing the charts.
Klowns is just goofy fun.


Creepshow (1982)
Return Of The Living Dead (1985)


Old reviews-

Creepshow- here. 
ROTLD- here.

Now, I think ROTLD makes a better pairing with "Class Of Nuke 'Em High", cuz of the punk-rocker kids in both, but damned if this combo didn't work too.

Oh! I did the commentary track on "Sleepaway", and the actors mentioned the same crew from "Creepshow", went right to work on "Sleepaway".
That was a neat little bit of trivia.


Behind The Mask: The Rise Of Leslie Vernon (2006)
The Final Girls (2015)


Old reviews-

Leslie Vernon- here.
Final Girls- here, and here. 

Glorious.
Both the films, and the combo.
Most perfect pairing of all of these.

Now, I just need "AHS: 1984", on disc to go with them.


The Garbage Pail Kids Movie (1987)
30 Years Of Garbage: The Garbage Pail Kids Story (2018)


TGPKM- here, and here.
30 Years- here.

Yeah, you really have to watch the movie first, then use the documentary as the antidote.

I said it in the second review, TGPKM has aged into a cult classic.
Even as a movie intending to be weird, it's weird.
It's Troma for kids.
If you want to mutate your kid into a Troma freak, start him/her out with GPK.

Even with all that said, the documentary is the better of the two things.
Hands down.


The Serpent And The Rainbow (1988)
Shocker (1989)
The People Under The Stairs (1991)



Old reviews of all three here.

Serpent and Shocker are okay, but Stairs is the whole reason to watch this collection.

Total brutal satire of Reagan.
It only even works seen through that lens.
And it gets better the more it ages.
You can transplant so much of it right over to Trump.
Trump is Reagan 2: Electric Boogaloo.

Conservatism is racist, dead stop.
Even in its purest most innocent form, it's classist, but the classes were arranged by race by our racist ancestors centuries ago, and the only way to wash the racism off conservatism now is to reboot it, but they'll never reboot it.
They'll literally shoot at you to keep from rebooting it.
So, conservatives can go ahead and whine and cry forever about being called racist, but tough shit.
Cry harder.

I'm sure Stairs more than anything set Craven's career trajectory back because of the blatant and brutal satire against "the American way".
It sure as Hell got Lloyd Kaufman punished.


So, anyway, that was my 80's mix.

Next time, superhero trilogies.

Isolation marathon (Part 4).

Meedyah Morsels #238.
-and-
Post 13 away from 3000 posts!

A big stack of Troma...

Toxic Avenger quadrilogy-
The Toxic Avenger (1984)
The Toxic Avenger Part II (1989)
The Toxic Avenger Part III: The Last Temptation Of Toxie (1989)
Citizen Toxie: The Toxic Avenger Part IV (2000)



Old reviews here, here, here, here, and here.

Man, swap nuclear waste for covid19, and the 80's become today.
I dunno if these are good or bad movies to watch while we're locked up inside being pissed at Republicans.

I found them cathartic.
YMMV.

I used to think the villains in these, and in Captain Planet, were over the top.
No, there literally isn't anything big business and their Washington lackeys won't stoop to.
It's hard to even satirize the bastards.

Y'know, all doubt is removed for me that it's the left-wing messaging in these films that have caused Troma so much censorship and blacklisting headaches.

Violence wise, there's nothing in these that you can't see in "Deadpool", or "Brightburn", or an average episode of "The Walking Dead".

Sex wise, there's nothing you haven't seen in South Park.

It's just "Deadpool", and "Bightburn", stay politically neutral, and South Park is right-wing.

Fuck. This. Country!
Politically.
I stick around for the movies.
Obviously.


Toxie adjacent movies-
The Class Of Nuke 'Em High (1986)
Return To Nuke 'Em High: Volume 1 (2013)
Street Trash (1987)
Redneck Zombies  (1987)
Troma's War (1988)
Father's Day (2011)




Old reviews-

Class Of Nuke 'Em High (here)
Return to Nuke 'Em High: Vol 1 (here)
Street Trash (here, here, and here)
Redneck Zombies (here and here)
Troma's War (here and here)
Father's Day (here and here)

Adjacent to Toxie cuz....

Nuke 'Em, cuz it's in Tromaville, thus making it part of the Troma Cinematic Universe.
Plus actors from Toxie carry over in other roles.

Return To Nuke 'Em, cuz it's a sequel/remake to Nuke 'Em 1.
And Cigarface from Toxie pops up.

Street Trash, cuz Jennifer Aspinal does the effects, and the fat dude who's in Toxie 1, and Nuke 'Em 1 is in it. Not an actual Troma movie, but it should be.

Redneck Zombies, cuz Pericles Lewnes directs, stars, and does the effects, and then he went on to do the effects for Toxie 2 & 3, and play a villain in 3.
And 3 references Redneck Zombies.
So, "Street Trash", you've got the effects person from the first spinning off, and "Redneck", you've got the resume for the future effects guy of 2 & 3.

Troma's War, cuz it connects to Tromaville, has the guy who plays Cigarface in Toxie 1, and Joe Fleishaker who'd go on to be in Toxie 2, 3, & 4.
And Pericles Lewnes did effects on this just before the Toxie sequels.
AND, Toxie 1, Nuke 'Em 1, and this form "The Reagan trilogy".
Each one ripping on an aspect of Reagan's America.
Nuclear waste, nuclear plants, and the military industrial complex respectively.
Oh, and it predicted Republicans being in league with the Russians before anyone else.
That had to add to Lloyd's blacklisting.
"How DARE you?!!?! How DARE you?!!?!?", they would have said back then for suggesting it.
Now?
They're open about it, and don't care anymore if you know.
Too late now, they've got us by the balls.

Father's Day, cuz...Lloyd Kaufman is in it.*Shrug*
Really, I just felt like watching it, and I wanted to get the number to an even 10.
Another 80's throwback like "Kung Fury", or "Turbo Kid".
No real deep political message.
Except maybe that religion and homophobia are bullshit.
But don't we know that by now?
That's another one covid19 is getting fence sitters off the fence with.
Sane people look at the "open the economy!", protesters and think "hey...shouldn't we be TAXING you shitty motherfuckers!?!?".

Best one of these?
"Street Trash".
Better writing and acting than all the others.
Hands down.
Boom.

Lloyd Kaufman is a clunky writer; there, I said it.
But his weaknesses are covered up in the Toxie movies, cuz where he's clunky, comic books are clunky, so you can blame it on being a comic book parody.

Not so much the others.
Although..."War", is totally a 2 hour political cartoon, so that covers his ass too.

Anyway, I enjoyed them all, but "Street Trash", takes the prize.

So, that was all those.

Next, a bunch of non-Troma 80's horror comedies.

Isolation marathon (Part 3).

Meedyah Morsels #235.
-and-
Post 17 away from 3000 posts!

This time, instead of my media file cabinets, we're doing Spectrum streaming!



Star Trek: Insurrection (1998)


See here.

Yep, they had it for free.
Not Nemesis though.
They wanted 4 bucks for Nemesis.
Nope!

I wanted to complete the set, but I missed it by one.

Anyway, I spotted Ensign/Lieutenant Jae!
Worth the whole movie.
IMHO.

It's still a hot mess, but if you can turn your brain off, and just enjoy the tension and action, it's all right.


Fast Color (2018)


Talked about this one three years ago.
Finally seen it.

Take Dark Phoenix, do it 90's indie style on a school lunch money budget, and with a female director, and guess what?
It's better!

Watch this instead of Dark Phoenix, is what I'm saying.
You'll thank me.

I think this is tied for best one of these I saw.
I'll mention when I get to the other good one.


Overlord (2018)


American soldiers fight Nazi zombies in WWII.

It's the dark opposite of Captain America, like "Brightburn", is the evil opposite of Superman.

Sadly, like "Brightburn", it plays out exactly like you think it will.
No surprises.

It shares a sub-genre of WWII based supernatural stuff, along with "Raiders Of The Lost Ark", "The Keep", and the "B-17", chunk of "Heavy Metal".


The Spy Who Dumped Me (2018)


Meg from "Family Guy", and Holtzmann from Ghostbusters are regular chicks who accidentally become spies.

Sounds way better on paper than the actual execution.

I watched it solely because of my Kate McKinnon crush.

Only every third joke lands, and it goes on for way too long.
Someone couldn't bring themselves to "kill their darlings", and thought it was all good, and refused to edit.

Yeah, now that I hear it out loud, that's what haters of "Ghostbusters: Answer The Call", said.
Well, fuck it, that one worked for me, this one didn't.
I didn't hate it though.
Kate still does her best with this hot mess, and she's fun to watch even on her B and C game.
It's watchable, but I wouldn't watch it again.
Nor would I recommend it.
Big "meh".


Child's Play (2019)


Watch Star Trek: TNG's "Descent".
It's the same thing, except with Data instead of Chucky.

In act three, it turns into "Maximum Overdrive".
Watch that instead too.

The only thing special you get here is Mark Hamill doing a pretty good Chucky voice.
It's not worth sitting through this bland retread though.
Watch him in something good.

Oh, and Aubrey Plaza is in this, but she doesn't do much.
Watch her in "Legion", instead.
She's glorious in that.
Especially season 1.


Downsizing (2017)


Terrible.
Worst one of these by far.

The idea from the trailer actually could have been a way better movie.

What we get is a pretentious mess.
It tried to say things about class, and environmentalism, and in-group mentality, and cults, but it never really gets there.
It never really hammers any of those things all the way home.
It pretends it said those things, and pats itself on the back for it, but it didn't earn it.

Nah, it's crap, avoid it like...well, like a coughing Christian.


The Falcon And The Snowman (1985)


I'd seen this before, but I wanted to see it again, and justify the review.

A true story about a guy (The Falcon) who saw the CIA doing crooked shady shit that had nothing to do with security, and screwed them over by selling secrets to the Russkies, and dragged his childhood buddy (The Snowman) into the scheme.
Eventually, they got caught.
I think they're free now.

In theory, treason against fascists is no bad thing.
It's just that the countries that hate our guts are as violent and awful as we are.

So, y'know, don't do it.

America sucks, but Russia sucks harder.

I don't shed any tears for the CIA though.
Fuck them.
Infiltrating unions?
Fuck you.
Nazis.

The Dollop did an episode on The Falcon that goes into more detail than the movie.
A lot of wild crazy stuff got left out that would have been great for the movie, but then it would have been 12 hours long.
Check that out here.

Anyway, this, and "Fast Color", were my favorites.


Swingers (1996)


The moral is, you can get over any breakup if your rebound girl is Heather Graham.
Sorry, spoiler.

Introduced the world to Jon Favreau.
No Jon Favreau, no MCU, and no Mandalorian.
He turned out to be really damned important.
From such humble beginnings...

So, yeah, consider this a Happy Hogan prequel.


Rabid (2019)


From the Soska Sisters, who brought us "American Mary", and then a bunch of disappointing crap.

This is better than the crap, but still not up to the heady heights of "American Mary".

A remake of the Cronenberg flick of the same name.

Watch the Cronenberg one, it has a darker and better ending.
The Soska's ending is something out of a bad video game.

Not recommended.


Indecent Proposal (1993)


Hoo boy....I dunno which I hated more, this, or "Downsizing".
It's really fucking close.

You all know the plot by now, Robert Redford wants Demi Moore's pussy for one night for a million dollars.

Look, set aside all the jealousy shit, and hangup shit, and all that crap.

You tell the dude to go fuck himself, not because of some "sanctity of marriage", bullshit, you tell him to go fuck himself because he's a creep, and you don't need creeps in your life.

A guy creepy enough to want your wife to be a prostitute is creepy enough to do anything, and it won't be one night, he'll keep right on creeping and skeeving around.

There's no such thing as golden treasure from the sky, or genie wishes.
There's always a dark price.
There's always fine print.
There's always tricks.

I don't care if you and your partner are swingers that wouldn't be bothered at all.
Go swing with nice people, not power-playing billionaire swine.
I can't believe there was a cultural debate over this.
It's really easy to solve.

Anyway, moral quandary aside, the movie is total shit.


Ferngully: The Last Rainforest (1992)


Yes, I had to see this again cuz of my memory of it in my food saga.

Does it hold up?
Fuck no.

Not nearly enough Tim Curry, too much Robin Williams being cringe-y by bringing his C-game.
And I couldn't give two shits about the stupid romantic protagonists.

Tim Curry's musical number is the only good part at all.
It doesn't last nearly long enough.

And yes, this is totally where "Avatar", ripped off absolutely everything.

I'll still take it over "Indecent Proposal", or "Downsizing".
In a fucking heartbeat.
Which isn't saying much.


Swimming With Sharks (1994)


Watch Frank Whaley in "Career Opportunities", instead.

Watch Kevin Spacey in nothing, because he's a pedophile.

Spacey is the Boss, Whaley is the underling, the boss verbally abuses the underling, the underling snaps and gets revenge, the tables turn again, and hi-jinks ensue.

Look, the Kevin Spacey character and the Frank Whaley character are BOTH assholes.
The movie tries to set up the false dichotomy of choosing the cynical rotten philosophy of Spacey, or the naivete of Whaley, then strong-arms you over to Spacey's side with elaborate contrivances.

If you get a Spacey boss, tough it out, or quit.
Preferably quit.
"Getting ahead", is just a shorter version of "keeping up with the Joneses", and that's a death trap.
It's like Redford and his pimp money.
It's booby-trapped.
Just avoid the whole mess.

If Whaley wanted to be involved with movies, he should have been a writer, director, or an actor.
Necktie executive shit is not how you get near that stuff.

This was clearly written by a liberal who got turned cynical, and didn't have the mind-power to climb out of the pit of despair.

That's what conservatism is.
Embracing wickedness and cruelty through despair.
It's the decay of virtue.
Ain't nothing "tough", about it.

Nope, I hate this movie.
Still not as much as "Indecent Proposal", or "Downsizing".
But it's on the list.


So..."Fast Color", and "Falcon And The Snowman", were my favorites.
"Downsizing", "Indecent Proposal", and "Swimming With Sharks", were my least favorite.
The rest floated in the middle "meh", area of the scale.


And, that's everything in Spectrum's database that I wanted to see at all.

Next up, back to the file cabinets, and I think probably Troma.
See you next time for those.
