Aero Theatre, Egyptian Theatre and Los Feliz 3

Yes, the darkness returns, not the best way to start the summer, but a damn dark way, mwa-hahaha. Join the bleak, but don't drown in it! Seriously, these are not uplifting movies of the human experience nor are they just horror. Their existential dread and deeply emotional human human dramas...in possibly in the best sound and quality you're gonna see in a theater.
 
This collection of the saddest in cinema takes its toll on your soul.

The Furious Is Out This Month

Woah, gotta give some credit to Lionsgate. They've screwed up bitterly with AI, but when they steer clear of it and let real people plan things out it gets me interested and promoting it here. We have both a new poster from their poster series and a better look from the BeyondFest screening.

Which ever execs are into AI, FIRE THEM! This hype and connection to people is so much gonna work more Lionsgate.

Mina the Hollower Finally Out

Unlike Disney, this is a small studio, so we totally give them leeway with taking forever on releasing a game. We'll have a review out eventually, but it's old school addictive fun. 

Stop Being Such A Jack@$$ And Just Watch It

That's a lot of @$$ 

X-Men '97 Season 2 Is Finally Coming Out This July

 


Did you guys forget? It's only been... two years? WTF? X-Men '97 Season 2 arrives after coming out in 2024! That's right, one of the most powerful entertainment corporations on the planet can't have 9 episodes of a cartoon come out yearly. I write 9, because this time we only get nine episodes.

We're looking forward to it, but we were looking forward to it, 2 years ago. 

It's called momentum, you don't have any Disney.

*I've been watching Dorohedoro Season 2 on Netflix, that's even more a joke. It's first season was back in 2020.  

Movie Hype: Not Hearing The Best About ‘Her Private Hell’ & Americana at Brand Memes Is Writing Movie?

Her Private Hell by Nicolas Winding Refn (Drive) was out at Cannes and will be out in late July here in the US. Uhh, the reviews have not been kind. So unkind, they're hilarious.

I'm just gonna post the first paragraphs of two that contain no spoilers and truly dig into both the movie and into the director quite fiercely. And, their quite funny to read. 

“Her Private Hell“? More like our public misery.

If, for David Lynch, ideas are like fish in a river, then for Danish provocateur Nicolas Winding Refn, those ideas are like chunks of excrement in an exploded sewage pipe. His first feature since “The Neon Demon” 10 years ago and after allegedly dying for 25 minutes in 2023, the neon-drowned, anguishingly languid and abstruse “Her Private Hell” feels like you’re dying (and very, very slowly) for a soporific hour and 49 minutes. With ghoulish visuals, a coughed-up script in which Refn appears to pastiche only himself, and performances that even at their best just die onscreen under the portentous weight of the filmmaker’s dreadfully detached vision, it’s one of the most miserable theatrical viewing experiences in years."

"Three years ago, Danish auteur Nicolas Winding Refn died for 20 minutes. When returned to the world of the living, the director felt as if he was experiencing everything anew, including a burning desire to make films. This biblical wiping of what came before might be the only explanation for “Her Private Hell,” a film that unspools as a curious allegory for the artificial intelligence era in how it seems constructed by a machine fed to the brim with the work of NWR and able only to spit out a hollow carcass of yesteryear brilliance."

And, good for them; the team behind the hilarious, sometimes hyper-local, Americana at Brand Memes is writing a moving about criminals who stole NFTs of 2007 Kia Sedona minivans. Even as dumb as that is, we are talking million in stolen funds. Read more about it at the Hollywood Reporter
