I first watched Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind in theatres upon it’s original release. Despite it doing okay theatrically we went to a sparsely attended showing which had an eerily quiet audience to take this film in. Afterword those … Continue reading Second Look: Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind
Last week I posited that due to daylight savings and the way I try to write these up in advance it is like I am the world’s least effective time traveler. If I were a more regular person that had … Continue reading The Avocado Weekly Movie Thread (03/18)
Okay, I am usually way on the ball and do the weekly movie thread prompts up about a week in advance so I can start writing the next one before the current one is published like I am the world’s … Continue reading The Avocado Weekly Movie Thread (03/11)
I have always enjoyed the subtle art of persuasion (also the not so subtle, and the super anti subtle for that matter). There is something interesting to me about making compelling arguments to convince others to do something they may … Continue reading The Avocado Weekly Movie Thread (03/04)
Okay, let’s say you are a movie company, for fun lets say Warner Bros. You have the story, and it is a great story. You have the characters all lined up and you have hired bankable movie stars to play … Continue reading The Avocado Weekly Movie Thread (02/25)
Any time you are taking the time to watch a movie you are setting yourself up for some form of emotional response. Happiness, fear, awesomeness (probably more accurately elation), anger and yes even sadness are generally the most common. The … Continue reading The Avocado Weekly Movie Thread (02/18)
I have run the numbers, double checked my calculations (for the record I LOVE calculations, any day I get to do math stuff at work automatically makes it better by a factor of X to the power of Y. X … Continue reading The Avocado Weekly Movie Thread (02/11)
As new age connected internet movie film nerds I am sure all of us have seen a variety of movies throughout our illustrious consumption of entertainment daily lifestyles. Movies that run the gamut from great friggin movies to god awful … Continue reading The Avocado Weekly Movie Thread (02/04)
It may not seem like it, but watching a movie is an event. It may be a small event, but an event nonetheless. You are investing precious time to be entertained in some way shape or form and you are … Continue reading The Avocado Weekly Movie Thread (01/28)
As a bit of a disclaimer I would not refer to myself as a Wes Anderson fan. I have seen most, but not all his films and I have had a varying level of enjoyment to each one. I view … Continue reading Second Looks: The Royal Tenenbaums
January, and to a lesser extend February is traditionally a dumping ground for movies, traditionally theatrical movie releases but more recently movies bought and released on streaming platforms but more on streaming in a bit. Stuff that got made and … Continue reading The Avocado Weekly Movie Thread (01/21)
A lot of people who work on movies are creative types. They can act, write, frame a shot or perhaps they are the types who have some really great ideas about how to pull off a special or practical effect … Continue reading The Avocado Weekly Movie Thread (01/14)
Did you ever see a preview and think: “That cannot possibly be a thing?” Like you are watching some sort of quick ad for a sketch comedy show, or an Onion style take on a movie trailer? I would be … Continue reading The Avocado Weekly Movie Thread (01/07)
Well, we made it, literally the last day of the year. After looking back last week I am always amazed at the creativity, fun and inspiration movies can provide me with every year. And even though I am writing this … Continue reading The Avocado Weekly Movie Thread (12/31)
The great part of these year end posts is that they are pretty much pre-written for me. I know there is a best of film for The Pits, go there and vote and represent and what not. But here we … Continue reading The Avocado Weekly Movie Thread (12/24)
Three prompts to go for the year so I am changing it up this week and starting my year end wrap up with a pretty simple one and a short preamble (relatively… as short as I can be anyway). So … Continue reading The Avocado Weekly Movie Thread 12/17
We have covered Post Apocalyptic futures where all seems hopeless, we have covered Dystopian ones as well where something is wrong, but there is often a light in the distance that says “things can still work out okay”, and most … Continue reading The Avocado Weekly Movie Thread (12/10)
Well I foolishly started an arc on movie types that was supposed to go for three installments Post Apocalyptic movies, Dystopian movies, and the last one is still to be prompted but for now we are going to intermission to … Continue reading The Avocado Weekly Movie Thread (12/3)
Well last we went negative and this week we will go also negative, but with a spark of hope at the end. Last week we talked about post apocalyptic so this week we will dial it back a little and … Continue reading The Avocado Weekly Movie Thread (26/11)
Last week I went fairly positive in asking for things you have enjoyed so much you are willing to ignore reality for them. So this week it is time to go opposite and deep dive into the dreary, dark, dank, … Continue reading The Avocado Weekly Movie Thread (11/19)
