In Florida
Moms For Liberty together with the governor
Ron DeSantis are fighting against the woke. Or as a
different group of Moms pointed out, they are practicing fascism in a supposedly Free Country. The situation is hilarious!

In my review of
She Rides Shotgun I briefly commented on the performance of
Taron Egerton who you may know from the 2014 British Spy film
Kingsman: The Secret Service by
Matthew Vaughn. Today I gonna present to you a sort of half assed theory about how
Kingsman happened due to a different Matthew Vaughn picture: 2004
Layer Cake. And alternatively how Tarantino brought to us the
Daniel Craig era of
James Bond.

Nicolas Winding Refn seems to be making only cult-classics. His 2011
Drive was a moderate box office success. But a banger of a cult-classic later on, as people understood that it is not a mere action film. Then he made
Only God Forgives. A strange psycho-sexual movie where the plot lives in the crack-space between reality and dream-land. The film got misunderstood and barely made its money back. Yet those people who like it, like it very much. And then he made a straight box-office disaster
The Neon Demon that made only half of its ( rather small $7.5 million ) budget back. Yet it is seems like it's the kind of movie that just begs for a deep analysis.

There are ( at least ) 3 types of movies: Corporate bullshit, like the shit Disney produces now a days, which for some reason are popular as heck; smart films with a strong message, which win awards but fail at the box office; and the third type: a film with a message, disguised as corporate bullshit, to trick the audiences that it's the shit they wanna see, while actually being the shit they need to see.
Paul Verhoeven's 1987 film
RoboCop is from the third type.

Christopher Nolan was developing his spy movie
Tenet for decades before its release in 2020. In 2014 Nolan already was fully in the writing process on the script. While the general public didn't know much about the project, other filmmakers, including the French director
Luc Besson probably could know something about it. And so trying to beat Nolan at his own game, Besson quickly wrote and directed his own spy movie with a palindrome title:
Anna.

Why Hitchock's "Family Plot" 1976 is so kosher?

Alfred Hitchcock is known to be a hell of a filmmaker at the time of
the code. When everybody were required to be kosher, Hitch found every loophole in the rule book to get us exciting stuff. He was able to make sexy and violent psycho-sexual thrillers when sex and violence were not allowed. His final film, 1976
Family Plot was already shot during the MPAA rating system. Other filmmakers like
Brian De Palma took the thrown the master of the macabre. So what does Hitch do? He does the safest, most PG movie of his career.
