A Futile and Stupid Gesture



Where watched: Home

Who with: alone

This movie was made for me. I am a giant Will Forte fan even since MacGruber. This is also a Dohmnall Gleason banger, which is big for me as he is one of my favorite actors. If you haven't seen About Time then fuck you because it is the best romcom there is. It is also extremely funny. It is also available on Netflix so its pretty much free to see.

This is the story about the creators of National Lampoon, the comedy magazine that has also put out many of the classic comedy movies that you would know such as Animal House and Caddyshack. It was a really interesting biopic that was told in a really unique way.

My biggest takeaway is that it was alarming how predictable it was because it seems like almost every person that starts off funny and cool gets a little taste of fame and then ends up being a real dickhead and unlikable. That's the reason I haven't been putting in the effort to make this blog as funny and popular as it could be. If I wasn't so worried about fame getting to my head and changing me, oh man this blog would be so famous you wouldn't be able to read two sentences without me throwing ads at you everywhere. But I refuse to be a sellout who leaves his friends and family behind for drugs and partying and being a dick. The only reason I am not famous is because I choose not to be because I am such a good person.

Best Scene: When Forte and Gleason meet at Harvard and instantly become friends because of their name tags.

Overall Score: 81/100

Call Me by Your Name

Where watched: Theaters Watched with: Morgo Call Me by Your Name is about a kid who lives in Italy (I've been to Italy) who's family takes in an exchange student from America. The kid is played by Timothee Chalamet, who is nominated for best actor for this role instead of James Franco. I guess that's what happens when you rape a bunch of chicks. Armie Hammer plays the exchange student. More like Navy Screwdriver. Well they end up wanting to bone, and then they end up boning, and then one of them fucks a piece of fruit and then the other one eats the fruit that had been fucked. This movie is up for best picture. I did not enjoy myself in this movie, and that does NOT make me a homophobe. I fell asleep for a good portion of it because I was very bored. Other than the setting, which was beautiful, I just could not get into this love story, and that is not because it was about two dudes falling in love. I didn't really feel like there was anything interesting about

I, Tonya

Where watched: in theaters Who with: my girlfriend 😎 As somebody who totally despises the Winter Olympics, I thoroughly enjoyed this movie. It covers the life of Tonya Harding (Margot Robbie) and her career as a figure skater. Mainly focusing on how she had to deal with an abusive mother (Allison Janney) as well as an abusive husband (Sebastian Stan) while simultaneously struggling with her skating career because she did not fit the wholesome prissy mold of a typical figure skater. All of this eventually lead to the incident where fellow Olympic skater Nancy Kerrigan got her knee bashed in a day before Olympic trials. I really liked the style of the movie, mixing in interviews and the storytelling was creative. The acting was phenomenal all around. Margot Robbie gave her best performance since About Time, which is the greatest movie ever. Trust me, I am a movie blogger. The awesome Allison Janney was great as the worst mother of all time, winning the golden globe and I wouldn&#

Mommy Dead and Dearest

Where watched: Home Who with: Alone, but my blinds were open so maybe some of my neighbors watched a little, depending on their nosiness. As my friends who recommended this documentary to me had put so perfectly, this movie was fucked. This was one of those true crime documentaries, much like Making a Murderer, The Jinx, and The Keepers. This genre has really taken off in the past couple years and it isn't hard to see why. They are captivating as shit. Much like Bambi, this movie didn't waste any time killing off the mother of the main character. More like Mommy Dead and Deerest. After showing the real life tapes of daughter Gypsy getting questioned about the death of her mother Dee Dee, the movie goes into the entire story. Turns out DeeDee was not only an over protective mother, but she was also a crazy bitch. She had a disease called Munchausen Syndrome by proxy. This means that she just made up a bunch of illnesses that her daughter Gypsy had so that people would fe
