PermalinkI am continuing to make my way through animated films. On Sunday I
watched:
South Park: Bigger Longer & Uncut (4K disc) 1999 "R" rated animated
movie based on the popular TV series. The kids of South Park all head
to the new Terrance and Phillip movie which consists of cursing and fart
jokes. When the South Park parents see the kids repeating what they
heard in the movie the parents decide to blame Canada. This leads to a
war with Canada and the potential releasing Satan and his lover Sadam
Hussein upon the world. A bit dated, but still very funny. I was on
the fence but decided to skip "Team America."
The Simpsons movie (blu-ray) 2007 movie based on the popular TV series.
After Homer pollutes the local water supply the EPA decides to put a
glass dome around Springfield to prevent their pollution from spreading
to the rest of the country. Wackiness ensues. This was not very funny.
And I kept waiting for Mr. Burns to put block out the sun until I
remembered that was from the TV show. Maybe it was funnier when I
watched it 15 years ago. But at least now I can cross it off my rewatch
list.
Sausage Party (4K disc) 2016 "R" rated animated movie written by and
Starring Seth Rogren and Jonah Hill, who bring along the usuals to voice
various food items who happily live in a grocery store unaware when they
leave the store they will be eaten by their "gods." It was a lot
funnier when I saw it in the theater. Another one I can cross off my
rewatch list.
MFKZ (blu-ray) 2018 French and Japanese "R" rated animated movie. I saw
it in the theater and really liked it. Enough time has passed that I
forgot what happens in it, and I've been eagerly looking forward to
revisiting it. The movie is a science fiction comedy about a young man
who starts to notice aliens walking among us. The aliens have
infiltrated the police and government and taking over the planet. The
aliens notice that the young man can see their true nature, and come
after him forcing him and his friends to go on the run. For no reason
that's ever explained the hero's best friend has a flaming skull. The
fact that it's never explained but occasionally referenced just adds to
the fun.
Mayfair Witches (AMC) "Lasher" - Season 2, episode 1. (Spoilers for
season 1 finale and mild spoilers for premier.)
Picking up almost two years since the finale, AMC graced us with an all
two brief clip show that provided zero context for the clips. What is
wrong with these studios? They wait multiple *years* between seasons,
then don't bother to do a proper recap. :-/ I was watching the recap
and it showed a baby. I was like, baby, what baby? Where did this baby
come from? Anyway, At the end of last season apparently Rowan
(Alexandra Daddario) was pregnant and Lasher had himself reincarnated as
her baby. And Cortland was turned to stone.
Season 2 picks up with Rowan caring for her baby/toddler, which is now
reincarnated Lasher, and *clearly* evil! The baby is growing at an
accelerated rate, (when has that *ever* worked out well on a TV show?)
And Rowan has deluded herself into thinking she can raise this demon
child into being good. There's a scene where she is awaken from her
sleep to find Lasher standing over hear with blood dripping from his
mouth as he eats something (unclear what, but probably a small animal)
and she still doesn't get it through her skull, this kid is evil! By
the end of the episode the "baby" is now a teenager, and he's already
killed someone. I couldn't tell for sure if Rowan was still in her
delusional everything is going to work out OK state or not.
This SNL skit is spot on:
Recorded for later: Sanctuary: A Witch's Tale.
What did you watch?
