I don't care what anyone says this movie is great. It's so bizarre and fun and weird. They took the source material and absolutely turned it upside down. From the very beginning explaining how the meteor that killed the dinosaurs split our reality into two different universes... We evolved from apes when the dinosaurs died, but they evolved from dinosaurs when dinosaurs survived?! WHAT? Its Super Mario?! The intro of the Goombas and Koopas looking like absolute nightmares. Not to mention the set designs and practical effects. The brothers intro in Brooklyn is heartwarming. There's so much you can hate about this movie, but even more you can love. I know people think I'm nuts but I will die on this hill!
I recently had the HONOR to see this movie in a packed theatre for it's 30th anniversary put on by "Dumpster Racoon". The mixed reactions only made this movie I've seen 100 times since I was a kid even better... the gasps when the twin towers turned into Koopa towers... awesome. Hahaha.
Anthony Olivira hosted the event (He's the one dressed as Bowser) He runs ''Dumpster Racoon'' and he hosts a queer film series that does screenings at the Revue Cinema every month.
Before the movie started I walked into a full blown Mario Kart Tournament in this vantage theatre. Between the concessions line up and general fans the theatre was alive with all sorts of dressed up Nintendo characters.
As the crowd settled, the costume contest started. Specific... and non specific costumes walked across the stage. The winner was rated on crowd reactions. Despite the great costumes, nerdism prevailed. The winner... was non other than...
...a random NPC from Mario is Missing on the SNES!!! If that doesn't tell you, you have an audience filled with diehards nerds I don't know what does?
Perry and I talked about going in costume. It never happened but I was thinking...
After that was the drag show! A sexy Piranha Plant sang songs and slowly found her way out of her warp pipe. Hahahaha. When everyone was nice and settled into weirdness with a side of Mario Brothers... the lights lowered... the movie started...
spiderverse 2 was v good but like i genuinely have superhero fatigue AND multiverse fatigue and it kept me from enjoying it as much as i wanted to. also (SPOILERS????) it’s a two part movie and i did not know that going in and it felt so fucking long 😭 i kept expecting the story to tie back in for a finale and it just never did, i think you will enjoy it more if you know it’s part 1 of 2 going in. HOWEVER the character design +animation was AMAZING WOW HOLY SHIT and the story was v good. music does not slap as hard as the first one though like not enough vocal tracks :||||||
I love unconfirmed autistic characters. I mean I like when they’re confirmed, too, because representation, but I also love the wondering. Are they autistic? Is it brain damage? Untreated ADHD? Are they just a fucking freak? Who knows. I love them <3
Due to many issues I decided to record an extra #AlterNativityStories podcast this year. I don’t think I’ll need it but it will be available to my patrons @Patreon & to the public next year. Tony Farina & I will be doing #BetterOffDead what are your thoughts? #PrepareForPrattle • • • #johncusack #movie #smovies #film #movies #betteroffdead #cinema #sayanything #johnmalkovich #comedy #betteroffdeadmovie #conair #amandapeet #highfidelity #nicolascage #identity #rayliotta #smovie #bluray #skiing #stevebuscemi #lanemeyer #stephenking #savagesteveholland #dianefranklin #joancusack #sstyle https://www.instagram.com/p/CmGsxyGsT5m/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
