@odienator.bsky.socialI done lost my damn mind watching this ad! I love it.
@odienator.bsky.socialI've been in New Hampshire once, and only for a lunch date with a friend. Starting Friday, I'll be at the New Hampshire Film Festival for 2 days. I'm appearing on this panel on Saturday morning:
@odienator.bsky.socialSome guy asked me if I regretted giving ZERO STARS to Digger. I asked him what the fuck I had to regret. He backed up as if I was going to punch his lights out. What the hell is wrong with y'all? What next, I pop in my DVD of Jerry Maguire and Tom Cruise blows up my TV? "You can't watch me!" BOOM!
@odienator.bsky.social@odienator.bsky.socialGuess it got uploaded...
@odienator.bsky.socialThat song: youtu.be/RMONGMDEerI
@odienator.bsky.socialI wonder if Chris Rock was tipping his hat to MISTY BLUE, the title of the Dorothy Moore classic soul song. Whatever he was thinking, he wrote and directed a wretched hot mess. Rock can't write a woman character to save his life. Rosalind Eleazar deserved better.
@odienator.bsky.socialMy review:
@odienator.bsky.socialLet's hope they don't upload my review, because if they do, that 100% is GONE.
@odienator.bsky.socialYou do NOT know how close you are to reality.
@odienator.bsky.socialI'm kinda proud of this paragraph in this review.
@odienator.bsky.socialThat was pretty damn spot on. I wanted the whale to kill that fool.
@odienator.bsky.socialWHALEFALL continues a long line of TIRED Daddy Issues movies. This time, it's "my dear ol' dead Daddy didn't love me, treated me like dirt, abused me and tried to stab me--yet I STILL LOVES YA POPPA! All that abuse paid off when I got stuck in a goddamn whale!"
@odienator.bsky.socialFor the evening crowd. Btw, Verhoeven's BENEDETTA is better than this movie.
@odienator.bsky.socialOh boy, you're gonna love [CENSORED MOVIE TITLE].
@odienator.bsky.socialNo. That makes you a realist.
@odienator.bsky.socialI am so tired of these "Daddy you were an abusive piece of shit to me, your son, as a kid! BUT! It was worth it! Please love me!" movies. This trope needs to fucking die.
@odienator.bsky.socialMy review of the restored, uncensored cut of THE DEVILS is up at the Globe. Hell will hold no surprises for you, nor will this review if you know me.
@odienator.bsky.socialIn honor of my 6pm screening of WHALEFALL, sing along with Odele:
@odienator.bsky.socialIt could only have been your natural timidity that kept you from mentioning that.
