I don’t believe I remembered to go over my viewing of the Mario bros movie, but then it didn’t leave much of an impression. I didn’t hate it, certainly enjoyable, and I’m one to be suckered in by references, but I’d echo previous comments about it feeling like a lot of noise and not much substance unfortunately. Definitely found the Sonic movies to have a bit more depth, which makes me sad I’ve heard news they haven’t even started filming the third one yet. I’d also say, I had enjoyed Detective Pikachu more as well, and it makes me curious as to what the new game may be like.
Today I’d gone to see Asteroid City with my folks. It was on recommendation from a friend, apparently by a director I ought to see more from eventually. Previews kinda had a Marwen vibe to them, the movie itself was definitely skewed s but more towards Twin Peaks and Rubber. Since it’s still new I don’t want to spoil it for anyone, but I found it really funny and entertaining on a surface level, as well as having enough depth underneath it to leave me thinking on it for some time I’m sure. Perhaps not directly, but some of the more serious bits had me think of works like Paranoia Agent or Rule of Rose in some fashion.
Same friend wants to see Oppenheimer, and had seen a preview or two for it myself. I’m a bit worried it could just be straight but I have a feeling it there may be more to it. Will probably be back in here when that time comes.
