Notes

couldn’t wait for the movie to end so i could open my internet browser and type in “sorcerer 1977 how did they do that”

i always wanted a full episode-length ITYSL sketch, but never thought feature-length could actually work. it did work, but felt a bit too constrained by the realities of Big Movie. giving myself galaxy brain by imagining this as a 20 minute ITYSL skit that never lets you catch your breath

not very relatable when the protagonist blows on a bottle to summon the empty man. highly relatable when the protagonist checks what the empty man is about on wikipedia

i don’t like playing armchair casting director but i feel pretty strongly that Tim Robinson would have been a good choice here

has nothing new to add in terms of sci-fi, lazily adding an iphone app on top of all the basic robot tropes. barely qualifies for the horror or comedy tags. could have been a fun Love, Death and Robots short

ELBOW ROCKET

I would have been way more excited about this movie from the get go if only the marketing mentioned why Mrs. Harris goes to Paris (obviously because of her ADHD)

A beautiful puzzle box. Pieces fitting together so satisfyingly, I could practically hear the clicking sounds.

I really wish this series could just be its own thing outside the “marvel” “universe”

Creative team really should have given more control to whoever pitched “t-rex with big burly arms”

Ponyo fills my heart. It overflows.
