Movies And TV Shows That I Like:
The Truman Show
A comedy and a light psychological horror in one film. A concept that could have so easily been used for just wacky Jim Carrey shenanigans, being used as a vessel to explore existentialism, surveillance and privacy. Absolutely beautiful. Hell, I'd argue it's flawless.
The Muppet Movie
INFINITE WHIMSY UNTO THE WORLD. The purest film I've ever seen. An exercise in the distillation of joy, executed perfectly for one hour and thirty minutes.
If you're feeling sad AT ALL, watch The Muppet Movie immediately. It is genuinely impossible to feel sad when this movie is on.
Pizza Movie
Twitter and Instagram had the sheer unadulterated audacity to doubt BriTANicK just because the trailers for this movie had a few weird YouTube thumbnails. Starts kinda badly but sharply increases in quality after about 15-20 minutes. Ends incredibly. Snackatron my beloved.
Although, I will say, I think watching it with a few sleep-deprived friends on Discord helped the experience along.
Star Wars Original Trilogy
I'm a basic bitch, dude, I love my space-slop. I don't need to explain why I love the original trilogy to you. I like it for the exact same reasons that you like it.
Star Wars Prequel Trilogy
Further space-slop! Questionable space-slop? Eh whatever, I like it. It's flawed, don't get me wrong, but I can't hate a trilogy that ends on Revenge Of The Sith. I really do respect how these films seem to explore the flaws inherent in Jedi philosophy. The emotionally repressive teachings of the Jedi Council are what made Anakin willing to accept Palpatine's coercion.
And the only person who ever saw the flaws in the council was Qui-Gon Jinn. It's nice to see good guys that aren't all that good under scrutiny.
Star Trek: The Next Generation
THE OTHER SPACESLOP! Yeah, I like both. Sue me. It really does get on my nerves when people compare Star Wars and Star Trek, as if they have really anything that matters in common. Anyway yeah, TNG. I'll say, as much as I love the bigger episodes with the whole bridge crew dealing with Borg bullshit, I'll always prefer the more macro looks at just one character. Data my GOAT forever, Jenna didn't deserve him.
Metallica: Some Kind Of Monster
Look man, I'm a Metallica turbonerd, I have to like this. St. Anger is the musical equivalent of an open wound, and it's somewhat sordidly fascinating to see the band's once-repressed trauma slowly creating such a raw and disgusting musical trainwreck.
Generator Rex
I went into this series fully expecting just goofy shenanigans and whatnot, but it turns out this series actually has a surprising amount to say. No, really. Like at face value, it's about a cocky teenager with superpowers fighting evil monsters. But if you think about it maybe a little too deeply: It's also an anti-authoritarian allegory for the class struggle, capitalism, and the inevitable revolution as portrayed by parallels to Greek/Abrahamic mythology.
Maybe I'm reading too much into it? Who cares. Media analysis has never been about discovering authorial intent.
Red Dwarf
Look, I'll concede. It gets THOROUGHLY mid after Season 8. But those first 7 are great.
