A man, like all men, must “man up” instead of showing weakness. Not allowed to talk about his feelings, or ask for help, he is never diagnosed with mental disorders. When his wife dies, he is never offered and can’t seek counselling. When he spirals into depression he cannot talk about it or seek help. When his disorders flare up, he again cannot ask for help. His bills unpaid, he’s still required to suffer quietly until he is driven to suicide or is thrown into the streets. He can’t even talk to his family. He is a man who must be a man.
A movie with no characters, no plot and no purpose. Though I wonder if it intended it, this movie supremely highlights the silent suffering men live with.
Although amusing and with a few laugh-out-loud moments, this is mostly a waste of time. The RiffTrax concept might be nice for either fans or haters of a film, but this RiffTrax of this movie was not particularly entertaining to me. I’ll likely get into other RiffTrax’s later, so perhaps my opinion will change, but for now I don’t recommend this.
A princess, being chased by orcs and to be a sacrifice, passes through a gate into our world but the orcs follow her.
If this movie could be considered a B-movie, it is extraordinary. It’s well-written and well-acted, and unlike Orcs! – (2011 movie) there is no comedy and I have no feeling that there is need or room for any. I easily consider this a low-budget A-movie. It was good. Very good. Not surprisingly good, actually good.
I don’t know how strongly I can or should recommend this. My heart melts for Aleya, so I’m pretty sure I’m biased.
This is a 90-minute retrospective documentary for Clerks – (1994 movie) that focuses on Smith’s early inception of the film, the process of making and distributing and finally, the reaction and response to the film from critics and fans.
It’s full of bits of trivia, but is uninteresting to all but the hardcore fans. It’s got a lot of masturbatory stuff in it, but even ignoring that, and including my love of the film it documents, I didn’t like it.
Properly titled Snowball Effect: The Story of ‘Clerks’
This is available on the bonus CD of “Clerks X”, the 10-year anniversary money grab edition.
Stuck at a dead-end job, a guy ignores his girlfriend’s nagging until she uses an old high school enemy to push his buttons.
I’m really really happy this series didn’t get approval. This pilot is a steaming pile of shit. It has nothing to do with Clerks – (1994 movie) and so it cannot build on its mystique, and it isn’t even particularly original or interesting on its own.
This is the single pilot episode. The full series was never produced.
A privileged middle-upper class white woman loafs about taking advantage of her male harem.
Snooty as all fucking hell. I want to play father figure to the main character and paddle some sense into her. The characters and the way they’re portrayed are so grating that I couldn’t get to 25 minutes before being too disgusted to continue.
A non-secret organization learns of an assassination plot against the delegation of a new country, and brings on board the ex-girlfriend of the man in charge to save them.
Good enough to spark my interest in these old cheezy spy movies and shows.
Some sort of time machine thing is discovered by an idiot and time machiney things happen because of paradoxes and a murder spree of intrigues and stuff.
I don’t think I paid close enough attention to understand what the fuck was going on. It wasn’t bad as such, but it was distractingly-overdubbed Kiwi-ese. Everything about it was fair, except for bits of the plot not grabbing me, and the speaking. The speaking thing is kind of important for me.
I don’t see a point to watching this. At best it’ll probably go into events or trends or whatever that reveals stupidity. It’s telling me the things I live as though I’m not aware of them.
