Movie Hype: Parasite, Jay Myself, The Amazing Johnathan Documentary & Deep Murder
By Jonathan Bilski
I've got dates and trailers for some of my top picks of movies coming out. More of the indpednet variety. Yeah, were for Godzilla 2, but check these out later this year.
-First up from every artsy and indie blog site saying the loved it is Parasite; this won the Palme d’Or at the Cannes Film Festival and will be heading to LA this October 16th, with a wider release later. Neon snagged the rights for Bong Joon-Ho’s story about two Korean families, one rich and one street smart in a messed-up parasitical relationship.
-The Amazing Johnathan Documentary will
magically appear on Hulu and select theaters August 16th. This doc covers one of my favorite
comedians back when Comedy Central gave people specials to watch. He is a mean and insanely angry Vegas magician and he made me laugh with his violence and comedy. Other than go over his life we learn about how he was diagnosed to die with one year
to live, but somehow keeps the magic alive and continues his act.
-Jay Myself will also open in LA August 16th. This doc goes over photographer Jay Maisel having to move out of his home. His home happens to be a 6-story building in New York City filled with not only his photographs, but huge collections and oddities. How does someone fill up such a place? We'll find out, hopefully with a lot of backstories on his giant collections.
-Lastly, a new horror comedy that was, I believe at the LA Film Festival, Deep Murder. Yup, it's making fun of Deep Throat. The movie sets itself as a soft porno with a serial killer, it's the premise, but the movie also plays itself as though everyone in it is still in a soft porno. A nice ensemble cast of people ready to die for their craft. It's gonna be out for Streaming June 14th with a limited release in theaters.

Anime and Game Hype: Godzilla vs Evangelion, Senran Kagura Peach Ball, Ghostbusters: The Video Game Remastered and More
-If you're visiting Universal Studios Japan this Summer you can check out the amazing looking Godzilla vs Evangelion the Real 4-D Ride. That's Japan's latest iteration of Godzilla's fighting the Eva's and it looks pretty epic. The crossover makes even more sense when you realize Evangelion creator Hideaki Anno directed the latest Godzilla movie in Japan. via ANN
The hit anime Evangelion comes to Netlfix this June and many like myself aren't happy that it's getting a English new dub, whose new cast still hasn't been told.
Senran Kagura Peach Ball is coming out July 9 on Switch, which is kind of sad. It would have been perfect to play at Anime Expo, but it's missing it by two days. It's a totally NSFW pinball game that has you bouncing your balls off of cute girls butts and boobies. It plays pretty bad, but that's not the point. The point is to ogle.
Just Buy An External Generator; Pot Shops Don't Power Off
As this recent LA Times article explains that the people running these pot businesses either just open at a different location or actually buy an external, we assume gas powered, generator.
Black market cannabis shops thrive in L.A. even as city cracks down
It's not till the very end of the article, but:
"Although the utility shutdowns have disrupted some operations, many businesses have also simply reopened after obtaining an external generator. The detective who guessed the White Castle dispensary near Wilmington would be back in business in a week was almost right."

Godzilla Reads Before Godzilla: King of the Monsters
Godzilla: The Half Century War. Stokoe's book follows Godzilla through the eyes of Lieutenant Ota Murakami, who fights the giant green devil over five decades. Each issue/chapter is another era in which Godzilla is fought by the growing older Ota. Stokoe, whose clearly a fan of Godzilla and wrote and drew every issue, showcases a number of Godzilla's old foes, fights and history. His art is as killer as the kaiju king he draws. All the while you have you're own little Raymond Burr (American actor inserted in Godzilla for theAmerican audience) to tell you what Big G is up too.
Godzilla in Hell seemingly takes place after on of the times Godzilla has "died." The series starts off strong with an issue done again by artist
Does Anyone Care About Dark Phoenix? I Don't
By Jonathan Bilski
Dark Phoenix is coming out this weekend and do you care? I sure don't. Other than the Chinese poster for the film, nothing about it has drawn me to see it while in theaters. I'll wait until it hits streaming, like so many others. I look forward to the franchise as we know it dying and being reborn, like the magical bird stolen from the Harry Potter films that this movie is named after.
I guess...I'm just hoping Marvel Studios can restart the series and get rid of it's messed up time-line and mediocre actors. And I mean the new cast.
Tracking the movie, it's suppose to have the lowest-opening weekend in the franchise and even lose to The Secret Life of Pets 2. via /Film That's pathetic. Let's try and make it even lower.
Disney will get the message if you don't see it. So instead, go see Godzilla: King of Monsters. Sure, the human cast in it doesn't look that impressive and seems to be a stereotypical bunch of people you don't care about, but, hey, they're all probably gonna die...eaten or stomped on. Most of those actors are poorly cast for a movie about a giant radioactive dinosaur beating up three-headed dragon that shoots lightning out its mouths.
Reviews of the current Godzilla film have been saying the movie spends too much time on the monsters instead of the humans, to which I say, "Sweet!"
Think about how much I cared writing about Dark Phoenix that I'm telling you to see Godzilla instead. That's how much I care for what looks like a movie you might want to watch on your phone on the toilet.

-JoJo Rabbit, Taika Waititi next feature film comes out this Oct 18th. He directed and wrote the film based on a book and stars in it...as a fictionalized version of Hitler. He plays a version of Hitler imagined up by a 10-year-old German boy during WWII who starts to questions his pal when a young Jewish girls hides out at his place. It's suppose to be a mix of drama and comedy.

Hype: Sonic Moves, Nichijou, Rim of the World & Gamer Stuff
— TAHK0 ☕️ (@TAHK0) May 25, 2019-The Sonic Movie has been pushed back three months to Valentine's Day in 2020. This will give animators more time to fix the look of the hog. But even better rumored news is long time fav Sonic cartoonist/artist Tyson Hesse is working on the Sonic Movie. Now he hasn't come out and said it, but was asked online after the new art came up of a sonic hand holding up a sign with the new date of the film. The art looks like his work and when asked online, he put up a photo of Tony Stark, who revealed he was Iron Man in the first movie. Here's hoping he really is helping on the movie, because they need it.
-City of Ghosts, is a new cartoon series from Elizabeth Ito heading to Netflix. She worked on Adventure Time and (I actually own art from her) that pretty good cred. It's suppose to be a hybrid cartoon, doc series about essentially ghosts and there stories. via THR
-Nichijou is finally getting a dub. It's a slice of life anime on school girls where everything seems to start off normal then takes a sudden trip into the strange. We're talking robot girls, talking cats and dogs that can sense when someone really screws up. The animation was also highly impressive and made us laugh out loud with it's strange plots. This was one of our favorite animes that should have been dubbed years ago, but a problem where the company that was going to license in North America died. Funimation has finally picked it up...and though we wish it wasn't the same five people from Texas it's good to hear it finally in English. It's out on Blu-Ray/Streaming July 23.
-Rim of the World just hit Netflix, some campers have to save the world by traveling through LA. It's pretty bad, McG did a much better job with The Babysitter. Also, for a movie taking place in LA, it still feels like it was shot mostly in Canada. Strangely, it was shot in the California.
