My Two Weeks in Movies: July 25 - August 7
Aug. 8th, 2021 07:20 pmOops. Let's not do that again.
I had a miserable week last week when I was off my ADHD meds for five days due to an ever-cascading series of f**kups, mostly not mine. I ended up taking two non-consecutive days off of work, which I'm sure didn't look weird at all.
I've been playing a lot of LEGO DC Super Villains which is cute as most LEGO games are.
This week I'm in Des Moines to see family, so there may not be any movies to post about.
Movies I've seen before are in italics.
Godzilla 2000 (1999)
Fear Street: 1994 (2021)
The Suicide Squad (2021)
Annette (2021)
Aquaman (2018)
sol_se and I are back on our Godzilla bullsh**t, working through the Millennium series. Godzilla 2000 is a perfectly serviceable entry with no great highs or lows.
I really liked Fear Street: 1994 and look forward to completing the trilogy eventually.
The Suicide Squad is a ton of fun. I'm really glad that Warner is committed to doing hybrid releases through the end of the year, because it's nice to watch these new movies at home sometimes. Margot Robbie is a delight as Harley Quinn as usual. King Shark is deadly and adorable. Be warned, this movie earns its R rating.
Annette. Where to start with Annette. I just felt like Sparks (the musicians who wrote the story and the music) were just screwing with me the whole time. It's a musical where everyone just states what they are feeling and doing in the most banal terms possible. There's some other strangeness that I won't spoil, but yeah. I was never bored, but I think I'm angry at the movie? I hope there's some artistic conceit I'm missing and the movie is secretly brilliant.
Aquaman is stupid fun and there's not much more to say about it.
