byebyelemonpie's july 2023 recommendations

My july top 5 movies:

Nimona (2023, dir: Troy Quane, Nick Bruno) [First time watch] Nimona is a shapeshifter who wants to be an evil sidekick. This premise is already brilliant, but this movie adds to it a lot of love, acceptance and so many feelings that made me cry a lot, and it suddenly became one of my favourite movies of the year. Add to this wonderful animation and really funny sequences: genuinely a perfect movie. -

Rye Lane (2023, dir: Raine Allen-Miller) [First time watch] This was cute and fun! A very nice indie British romcom that is mostly set over the course of one day. Almost like Before Sunrise, but with more messy situations and, maybe, lies? -

Fire Island (2022, dir: Andrew Ahn) [First time watch] Five guys spend a week at a gay retreat on an island: will they find love? I still cannot get over how this movie is a queer version of Pride and Prejudice. I loved how clever it was at translating the story in a more modern (and more gay?) setting and I loved how well the characters were developed. -

Barbie (2023, dir: Greta Gerwig) [First time watch] My goodness, this was just a fun movie! The photography and direction were perfect in composing this story about the dolls most people grew up with. It was fun and lighthearted (the songs sung by the Kens were hilarious), but it was also a thoughtful piece of media talking about feminism and inequality, and the fact that not everybody knows what their place in the world is, but just being there is (K)enough. Just lovely. -

Another Cinderella Story (2008, dir: Damon Santostefano) [Rewatch after twelve years] This was a blast from the past! Sometimes I still hum to myself Tell Me Something I Don't Know, but rewatching the movie it came from was an experience. Recently I had also rewatched the Hilary Duff Cinderella Story, but I found the Selena Gomez one a bit more fun: maybe the dances and the songs made it feel less long? I'm not sure.

Favourite series in july:

Good Omens - season 2 (UK/USA, 2023) [First time watch] Aziraphale and Crowley need to take care of an Archangel with amnesia, make two women fall in love, and reminisce of their history together while not talking about any of that at all. Binge-watching this show is always tragic, because sure! I want to see my favourite supernatural entities do things and interact and fall for each other a little, but once I arrive at the last episode wide-eyed and speechless (actually in my notebook I wrote "Shaking Crying Screaming", but who's counting), what am I supposed to do to wait for the fated conclusion except re-re-re-re-rewatch the whole thing again? -

Little Women (South Korea, 2022) [First time watch] This is the story of three sisters who are poor and try to live in a rich world. What could happen if they found each other involved with rich people and join a long string of suicides, murders, money laundering, and political scandals? The three will have to investigate in the name of justice and to protect their family from the privilege and power that people who are richer than them have. It was very hard to watch the first episodes of this series: they were so heavy that I couldn't get through more than one of them without a headache, so watching this whole thing took me months, but I was fond of the characters and the cinematography being stunning were great incentive not to drop the series at all. -

3 Will Be Free (Thailand, 2019) [First time watch] Three people find themselves inside a mob family affair and they try to escape, while getting to know and growing fond of each other. I loved the characters!! The three main character were very easy to like, from an audience perspective, but I found myself rooting for Mae most of all: she was the best character of the show, in my opinion. -

Abbott Elementary - season 2 (USA, 2022/23) [First time watch] As usual, this sitcom brings me laughter and happiness, and makes me think fondly of my time as a kindergarten teacher (which ended last May). The situations these characters find themselves in as usual are blown out of proportion and their response to them is always hilarious, but the fact that they could happen is very realistic and fighting for the right to a free education for all is very important. I hope that after the Writers and Actors' Strike this show will continue, because it is lovely, and one of the few US sitcoms from recent years that I enjoyed watching.

2024 MOVIE LIST

www.tumblr.com/theharpermovieblog

FANGORIA FILMS DOUBLE FEATURE pt. 2

I re-watched Severed Ties (1992)

In the early 1990's FANGORIA produced three horror films. One of them, "Children Of The Night", I re-watched last year for my Halloween list. I thought I'd re-watch the other two movies and see if they are still as fun as my childhood self found them to be.

A young scientist working on limb regeneration loses his arm and regrows a new one, which is a deadly creature with it's own will.

Director Damon Santostefano hasn't made anything else I've ever seen. He seems to have carved out a living making bad romantic comedies and b-grade teen films, which is kind of sad. Imagine directing Oliver Reed only to end up directing sequels to "A Cinderella Story".

And, yes you read that right, Legendary actor Oliver Reed is in this movie. For those of you who don't know, Reed was a notorious madman who's antics outside of acting lost him a few roles over the years, most notably the role of James Bond. I suppose it's no surprise that in the early 1990's we'd find Reed taking roles in B-films, most likely as a way to make some extra cash. Still, despite this movie's low quality, Reed is putting in a performance and seemingly taking this as seriously as any job.

I'll say this for "Severed Ties", it wastes no time and is almost immediately dumb and decently fun. By minute twenty there's already a Severed arm being regenerated into a monster-arm. So, if you're looking for mindless "so bad it's good" horror that doesn't leave you lingering in boredom waiting for a payoff, you might enjoy this. If you're looking for something of substance or a horror film that feels as if it's theatrical quality in any way, you're shit out of luck. But, you'll get some laughs and some gross outs.

In these films, Fangoria doesn't seem overly concerned with anything other than pleasing it's core audience of horror-geeks. This is cheap, un-serious, gory, weirdo nonsense. It's for kids and teenagers like I was, who would have seen the Fangoria logo and rented it on the spot, simply because they knew what they'd be getting.

For the most part, at my 38 years of age, I still kind of enjoyed this. I wouldn't recommend it seriously to anyone unless very specifically for a bad movie night, but that's not such a bad thing. Bad movie nights are fun.

let me become a youtuber and put out a 40 minute video on a 1985 book with a 2002 sequel for children that we all /think/ almost had a nick tv original movie and a game and the best source for this is a 2002 ign article mentioning a thq interstellar pig game in development alongside the announcement of tak which had a nickelodeon show and all of the 'fuck if i can find a source' rumors of a movie were for a film which then showed up in an '88 book by the same author (there was also an offhand mention of a different computer game in an '86 book) which is wild because the first nick original film wasn't until 98 so were these rumors based solely on an in book joke or was there a film actually planned? I see Damon Santostefano listed to direct and he wrote for shows on Nick like Pete and Pete and a Phil Morton as a writer which I see one active from 83-05

We are sitting together on the couch at Angela's house, watching the video of Interstellar Pig. Angela's parents are not at home. Neither is her brother. My arm is around her. Her head is on my shoulder. "Amazing," she whispers, glancing at the movie. "The lichen seems so real.''

There's also a real world board game the game in the book may have been based on?

https://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/313010/cosmic-encounter-42nd-anniversary-edition

honestly in this era of board games being so large I think I should get to buy Interstellar Pig and then fail to get any friends to play it with me.

Oh wait a fan made a real game that is heavily inspired by it and I can buy it oh okay cool/ Is Chaosmos good?

#interstellar pig #parasite pig #william sleator #nickelodeon #chaosmos #cosmic encounter #guess what dumb things I need to buy I Guess #the author died in 2011 and i'm still a bit hurt from that

Bring It On Again (2004) dir. Damon Santostefano. 5.9/10

About Whittier starting a cheerleading squad to challenge the varsity team to go to nationals for the university.

Tina is so anal. I respect her passion for cheerleading history, but not her anger towards people and her superficial nature. What up with your superiority complex?

Whittier really reminded me of Claire Holt.

Janice is a joy. So is the rapping bee guy.

Both movies have mentioned body shaming and prozac.

The main character’s name is another city in California.

Interesting taunts, everyone has.

Memorable Quotes: “the sun is nature’s prozac.”
