One Wrong Turn After Another!

 

The film ('One Battle after Another') has obvious political overtones to burden it (for better or worse). But having said that it could be a critical success if not financial... and that has a lot to do with 'Word of Mouth'.

I saw the movie (had to say that because some reviewers DON'T WATCH THE FILM!😜) but there was definitely some aspects of it that simply did not resonate with me on a dramatic level regardless of political affiliation. It seemed to lack relevance... (it's storyline linked the 70's battles for abortion rights with the present day battle for immigration rights -yet who in the world can relate to that link?)

Although both Leftist issues they are extremely different Causes in their own right. In other words you can be for abortion but against mass migration very easily and vice versa.

I guess my main complaint was that it lacks narrative direction.

SPOILER ALERT: had the film been solely about fighting for abortion rights instead of fighting for ANY RIGHTS (midway the film switched from abortion rights to immigrant rights) it would not have appeared to me as directionless. When the daughter runs out at the end to "join a different battle" it simply didn't do anything to support her character's quest to understand her mother at all. It was simply, "I'm going to fight for something too" -which is a universal sentiment, not a personal one.

Regardless I've seen a lot of pure CRAP this year from Hollywood as we all have. This movie didn't make the Crap List at all. 😆

Oh yeah, sorry not sorry for the emojis! This was a YouTube comment turned into a quicky film review...😨

Half-Ass Crossdressers and Transsexuals Piss Me Off!

 

Is this real? A male 'fairy God-Mother' at Disney World or Land? This is unintentional-intentional humor at it's finest.😀

At some point when organizing this you know the Big Shots had to think, "WTF are we doing? At least shave, bro!"

Man, there's nothing worse than a half-ass transsexual, drag-queen or crossdresser.

A FEW TOUCH-DOWNS SHORT OF A HIT MOVIE

'Him' is a great "concept movie". It proposes that the NFL and it's choices are actually [SPOILER ALERT!!!] controlled by a cult of Satanic businessmen, cheerleaders, sports doctors and trainers. And at the center of this is the current reining super quarterback, Isiah White*.

But of course in Hollywood's most recent fashion; it's most current ideation of "let's destroy it to see how well it works", the concept isn't executed correctly or should I say in a more entertaining manner.

The pacing, the scenes, the revelations are all ponderously executed. As if the script for this thing wasn't REALLY FINISHED OR REVIEWED. It feels 'green-lighted'- as a matter of annoyance instead of determination. And it's main premise, that of the Satanic worshiping football league isn't fully explored to his horrific potential.

Simply put the film wasn't SCARY ENOUGH. It didn't shock or rise to the level of shock. It sort of COASTED on the screams of the last BETTER horror movie you watched.

To tell you the truth I could've anticipated this from director Jordan Peele. His films always have a political subtext that feels jammed into the narrative, not worked into the script. Here he takes his usual jabs at "Whitey" and the ill-effects of slavery on blacks (never mind the modern, more general Black American experience of ultimately rising above the evil days of bondage to attain some success in the USA). We've got to be reminded every film that Jordan does that the "System" is rigged against the black man.

After a while you just want him to give it a REST.

* [NOTE: this is Jordan Peele movie so the choice of 'White' as a last name for a black main character has the built-in intended political overtones the director sought to portray.]

Go Gina!

Life After Victory: Unfairly called a "Fascist'" when she voiced her supposedly 'Far-Right' opinion by the jokers at Disney, Gina won her lawsuit against them and plots a different MORE FREE course in the entertainment world.

Disney, which took over the Star Wars intellectual property and began a tyrannical, fan-ignoring change of the official canon and non-canon storyline, pathos and general meaning of the franchise has ZERO right to call anyone a DICTATOR.
