IV: Lives, Chapter Three, Back to School Edition (September 2023)

From 2020 to 2022 I watched 1043 movies.
In 2023 so far I've watched 296 movies.

Which, once again, maths tells me is 1339 movies, not 1340.

One of these days I'll get the hang of numbers.

This is one of those characters that I don't think ever really made it over here, at least not when I would've noticed. And I never quite figured out if he was aimed at kids or at adults as a parodical thing? Starting Tim Burton, it's --

, or , 1985's "Pee-wee's Big Adventure."

Let's find out how much of whatever the fuck that was was Tim Burton's fault, it's --

, or , 1988's "Beetlejuice."

It only right now occurs to me just how much Johnny Depp I'll be suffering through watching through the Tim Burtons, oh well, nothing I can do about it, it's --

, or , 's "Edward Scissorhands."

It's not (it's not that far off) yo mama's (1995's) adaptation of Koji Suzuki's 1991 novel "Ring," it's --

, or , 1998's "リング," or "Ring," which in the west is typically called "Ringu."

A funny thing about the 1998 "Ring" is because they figured everyone would've had the chance to read the book or see the 1995 movie, meaning the story wouldn't be particularly surprising, they dropped the sequel in cinemas on the very same day, a strategy nobody sensible would try again until Netflix (still not very sensible) pretended it came up with it, it's --

, or , 1998's "らせん" or "Spiral," sometimes known in the west as "Rasen."

Alexis,
@Alexis@beepboop.one avatar

Never got around to this while it was in cinemas, it's --

, or , 2023's "The Boogeyman."

According to an old urban legend, I'm watching --

Alexis,
@Alexis@beepboop.one avatar

I wonder what this one's about, it's --

, or , 1998 John Carpenter picture "Vampires."

Alexis,
@Alexis@beepboop.one avatar

I don't know what this is about, I just saw the title and that Jon Hamm was in it and downloaded it, it's --

, or , 2023's "Corner Office."

Alexis,
@Alexis@beepboop.one avatar

All I know is you should never take candy from strangers, it's --

, or , 1992's "Candyman."

Alexis,
@Alexis@beepboop.one avatar

me: what if I watched not horror

also me: it's --

, or , 1998's "I Still Know What You Did Last Summer."

Alexis,
@Alexis@beepboop.one avatar

If the name "Edward Scissorhands" means he has scissorhands, does that mean this guy's name means he has-- Well, you know. It's --

, or , 1994 Tim Burton picture "Ed Wood."

Alexis,
@Alexis@beepboop.one avatar

In the "sometimes you just gotta get 'em over with" category, this next Best Picture nominee looks like the most boring kind of social drama, it's --

, or , 1941's "Kings Row."

Alexis,
@Alexis@beepboop.one avatar

Gus Van Sant says "you've seen "Psycho," now get ready for THIS" and just shows you "Psycho" again, it's —

, or , 1998's "Psycho."

Alexis,
@Alexis@beepboop.one avatar

This is surely "what if after his movie about Ed Wood Tim Burton made one like the kind Ed Wood made," it's --

, or , 1996's "Mars Attacks!"

Alexis,
@Alexis@beepboop.one avatar

You kind of understood where "What Women Want" was coming from because, you know, it was the far-flung distant past of the year 2000, science had yet to determine women were people, but with this one, I feel like there are already one million movies with clear answers to this question? It's —

#314, or #1357, 2019's "What Men Want."

Alexis,
@Alexis@beepboop.one avatar

What if upstate New York but too much, it's --

, or , 1999 Tim Burton picture "Sleepy Hollow."

Alexis,
@Alexis@beepboop.one avatar

My understanding is that this is to Tim Burton as "Airbender" is to M Night Shyamalan, it's --

, or , 2001's "Planet of the Apes."

Alexis,
@Alexis@beepboop.one avatar

From the people who brought you the origin story of Poirot's moustache, this time it's Poirot vs the afterlife, leaving now to go see —

, or , 2023's "A Haunting in Venice."

Alexis,
@Alexis@beepboop.one avatar

Small fish? No, it's --

, or , 2003's "Big Fish."

Alexis,
@Alexis@beepboop.one avatar

Leaving now for Sneak Preview — which is a real god-damned minefield until the end of October, because it might now actually be "Sound of Freedom," yuck.

But I'm hoping it'll be "Dumb Money" or maybe "Retribution."

Whatever this is, it's , or .

Unless it's "Sound of Freedom," in which case, you know, nah.

Alexis,
@Alexis@beepboop.one avatar

See, this is why I go to Sneak Preview. Most of the time it's "Bank of Dave" or "The Courier," but then every now and then it's something I didn't know existed and that hits me just right.

Sneak Preview was 2023's "Dogman."

What if there was a sequel to 1998's "Ring"? Wouldn't that be wild? Just imagine it.

(1998's "Spiral," not you.)

Never been done before now.

, or , 1999's "Ring 2."

Alexis,
@Alexis@beepboop.one avatar

What if video'd games -- but too much? Can you imagine?

, or , 1999's "eXistenZ."

Alexis,
@Alexis@beepboop.one avatar
