Ehh 🙄

I dunno I think we're gonna look back on the hype for this movie kinda sheepishly. It's not great.

4) The Leader's spaceship crumbling to bits to reveal him doing the same stupid comb thing and like a whole Act later to loop back to a short but dense bit is 💫

One of the last pretty good episodes, and that series of jokes might be the highlight.

And Hans dying a horrible, cosmic goo death:

2) Lisa utters such a dumb line that a kid would say: "But we heard them hovering!"

3) Flanders emerging from the closet with comb + wax paper so dumb/funny when shown in that context. Also continues his bit of his unlikely sounds (his angelic singing voice, highpitched scream etc)

It's such a weird/dumb joke that they get so much mileage out of:

1) Marge tricks kids into abandoning the leader for their parents who bought them hover bikes, only for the kids to pledge allegiance to "hover bikes!" ("ehh close enough" -- such good kid logic)

Hadn't considered that for this THX! Checks out. The editing in the first 20 minutes is A+

As usual, dialogue heavy stuff is tough (detainment scene ugh) and the intrigue of that 1st act fizzles once we're in Lucas action mode.

Loved the PS2 cutscene-looking monkey mutants from the 2004 cut tho

Yeah, interesting. I didn't hate Nosferatu but felt it suffered from feeling to "samey" to the rest of his work -- a bit predictable.

I'd love to see him avoid the Wes Anderson trap and experiment with something tonally and aesthetically different

Oh damn been meaning to watch! Okay done. Just gotta figure out what to recommend back and no, it won't be Miami Vice

And yeah naturally have this sync with Lettrboxd! Not on their API yet but in time after we get this ironed out a bit

Try it out! Will for sure be buggy and probably broken here or there: flicrec.com/recommend
