Gone with the Wind



Where watched: Theaters/ Home

Watched with: myself.

So the theater I go to has something called "Flashback Cinema" or some shit and plays a classic movie every Sunday and Wednesday. Classic movies like Gone with the Wind, The Godfather, and Harry Potter 2. This was my first time dabbling in Flashback Cinema and it will not be my last.

I went to the theater and loved this movie from the start. I thought it was funny, it was an interesting topic, although I don't know how I feel about the south being painted like victims in the Civil War. I could see why it was a classic. I loved Clark Gable's Rhett Butler. He was a smooth talking, rich, smart ass and I found myself idolizing his character. I despised Scarlett O'hara, as she is one of the biggest brats and most insufferable movie characters I have ever seen. I had so much respect for what I was watching, especially knowing what a classic it was and all of the history. This movie had the first oscar given to an African American actor or actress ever for the role of Mammy. Mammy would have been played masterfully by my girl Abigail Spencer by the way. That isn't racist of me to say.

As I was really just enjoying myself, I decided to check the IMDB page for this movie just for kicks. That's when I realized it was fucking four hours long. That is entirely too long. I can hardly stay awake for any movie that I see after the sun goes down. This movie had a god damn intermission. I am not joking. So I left about halfway through and finished the movie the next day on demand at my apartment. I gotta say, if the movie had just ended when I left, it would have been one of my favorite movies I had ever seen. Not the case. The second half seemed so uneven and upsetting. I am not somebody that needs a happy ending but to watch my man Rhett Butler become all abusive and shit. Not that I couldn't understand why he got fed up with Scarlett but thats not the man I grew to love in the first 2 hours of this damn movie. Then they just started killing people left and right. They had a baby just so she could grow up to be a snotty little runt (I said Runt) and die jumping with her pony like a real moron.  The second half really hurt this flick.

Favorite Scene: Whenever Rhett would be a dick to Scarlett in a flirty way.

Least Favorite Scene: Whenever Rhett would be a dick to Scarlett in a domestic violency way.

Overall Score: 86/100

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

Image
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
