South Park: Back to the Cold War (2022)
The horse is Russia
Seems no one got the joke. Butters horse represents Russia as uncivilized and inevitably going to do whatever it wants despite the shock to bourgeois sensibilities.
Come on Children (1973)
Had to skip through much of it but has it's moments
Every budding young musician who has to put up with the harassment of their parents about their chosen career path should watch this. How rare is it to have captured on film one of rock's future guitar gods (Alex Lifeson) having "the conversation" with his parents? Of course a musician probably has a much less than 1% chance of 'making it' so 'the conversation' is warranted.
John Hamilton seems to steal the show though. Many commenting on Youtube wonder what ever happened to him.
Otherwise, it's interesting to see the interplay between young people back then; strikes me as much more genuine and fun. No cell phones certainly helped. They were more engaged in the conversation - no heads perpetually looking down. And it's also weird that it's weird being so weird. What?
The X Files: Provenance (2002)
So tired of seeing Skully well up with tears
I'd swear i'm watching 'The Bold and the Beautiful'. What is it with Gillian having to tear up in nearly every scene?! This Messianic Baby theme is akin to Fonzy 'jumping the shark' IMO. I think the additional actors did justice to the show but it's Skully who lost her edge. I just don't get it. I guess the writers were having to scuffle since they didn't even know if there would be a season 9 or not for a long time.
Plus there is never any convincing excuse for Mulder to be in hiding. I think a better premise would have been him having infiltrated the Illuminati type group and plant a bomb at a meeting between them and the highest-ranking aliens ala Operation Valkyrie against Hitler. But have Smoking Man be the wounded surviving 'hitler'. This would be after Mulder seemingly excepts his offer to join his covert group but to be a double-agent. Now THAT would be a great excuse to go into hiding and something we could all buy into. It'd been a great scene to see a bunch of big-eyed alien generals get blasted to bits in a conference room but Smoking Man is saved by a large oak table leg! Oh well, what could have been!
(I've been watching the entire episodes on amazon prime for the first time)
The X Files: Je Souhaite (2000)
Funny...and so frustrating.
I couldn't help but be so excruciatingly frustrated at bros Dumb & Dumbest attempts at making meaningful wishes - like watching a slow motion wreck of stupidity. You can't help but wonder 'what would i wish for?'. The fact she couldn't care less about the outcome much less offered any guidance was telling.
It was really easy to miss but when the trailer blows up she falls back to earth already rolled up in the carpet and hits quite hard, letting out a muffled yelp.
They said at this point of the series, they were writing without knowing whether there would be a new season approved or not. So you can see why they'd tend to take routes even further from the beaten X-Files path.
(I'm in the middle of binge watching every episode as they are all free on Amazon Prime)
