Watched as prep for the new episode. It was better than the short which is just kinda weird.
Yeah, I still watch new Simpsons. It's hit and miss. Not necessarily a waste of time.
90% "this movie would've sucked if they didn't have blank or added blank" but still a fond love letter that's pleasant to watch. I'll it I choked up in that fan screening near the end. Wish I could've gone.
And it made me bump Galaxy Quest up half a star after being on the fence about it which is the most a doc like this can do.
I know I said I wasn't going to waste my time but honestly I was kind of amused enough with its low-grade tacky sense of humour and I needed to turn my brain off for 90 minutes. I think both being stuck at home right now and having gone on holiday to Vegas and the Hoover Dam recently helped. Better than the European Vacation, it better captured the spirit of the first movie.
My first viewing of this was my first date with my future wife so I’ve always held it close to my heart, if not as close as some other Wes Anderson.
But this time, round six, I spotted some key ironies that must have gone over my head the first few times that really tied it together a lot more. It’s splendid.
The only reason I hold back on my enthusiasm for it is because I think it’s Wes’ 7th best film, but it grows on me each viewing.
