I promise not to start using this blog to play movie critic, but given the dismal state of "entrainment entertainment" these days that forced me to totally ignore pretty much every form of modern day video refuse, so anything with a screen that is not part of my computer, if I even still have it, has been collecting dust for several years now.
But yesterday, a friend came by wanting to waste a couple hours on a flick and I obliged. I was running out of old Cheers episodes anyhow. So I grudgingly chose this low budget indie title out of desperation and apathy.
I can never find anything worth watching, but if I ever do find a gem in all the crap movies it is usually dreamed up by a filmmaker that is too damn broke and unknown for some producer to bother ham-handedly inserting a bunch of deviant shit into it, like climate change affirming plot lines, tranny sidekicks and kissing men. As it turns out, this was a lucky pick that, astonishingly, I really enjoyed, so I am sharing it with a thumbs up, since I know if you like my usual content you are probably as fed up with 'tube tapes' as I am.
It was also three bucks on Cox-On-Demand. (I'll risk giving Kill Gates three bucks, but never seven, LOL.)
My buddy and I had a ball heckling it like the muppets on Mystery Science Theater 3000, and we kept pausing it to try and guess what would happen next and bet on a crass prediction. It's obviously a pandemic based sketch out of the gate, but that’s pretty much the only thing the film seemed to be pushing in terms of inverted propaganda narratives. I picked up on a bit of Ray Kurzweil promo, but that went right over my friends head. He's a bit slow tho, so not surprising.
The plot is sort of like Groundhog Day, but not really. It's what you would get if Bill Murray had been a brooding philosopher rather than a comedian, but even so, I found plenty of scenes to satirize and the witty wisecracks were just flowing out effortlessly from both of us.
In this movie the protagonist is reliving the same day over and over for some weird reason, but he's not in a time loop. Instead, he is hopscotching from one alternate reality to the next.
I joked that the one reliable thing about alternate universes is they always seem to have pandemics. Haha! But other than that it was very creative, and I thought it had a fabulously unexpected ending. Just a one-liner, but you gotta watch the movie to really appreciate it:
"May your quarantine … End."

I know I haven't been posting much thus far this year, but behind the scenes,
I have been on one wicked 'discovery' roll.
And I am going to be dropping some bombs that blew my mind this past month.
