Sarah Silverman: Someone You Love (2023)
On brand, quite bland.
Back in the day, Sarah had this incredible ability to catch us off guard with her sharp wit. She would have us in stitches, never knowing what hilarious remark she would come up with next. But now, it's like she's lost her comedic mojo and is stuck on autopilot. It's like watching a rerun of a tired sitcom you've seen a million times before.
You know the jokes before she does... "But there are Nazis", "All Jewish mothers are proud", "I have a gay friend and we might've scissored but not really, or did we, no we didn't". It's just tired and gross, but not gross enough to move into the really offensive (Where comedic gold is mined), it was safe. No effort to push any boundaries, just completely safe and predictable.
Some comedians are funny only in reaction to others, I could imagine her on 8 out 10 cats does countdown, or raising money for leukaemia patients, perhaps if she performed her set for the west-borough baptist's she could eek out a chuckle.
Glass Onion (2022)
All the ingredients for good cinema.
A movie that will inspire you to pat your cat until it purrs.
A movie that you won't hit the pause button for when you walk out to kitchen to stir something on the stove.
A movie where you'll turn to your friend on the couch and have a conversation about how good Edward Norton was in Birdman.
It's a grin, not a belly laugh.
It's the kind of ret-con plot reveals you find in a badly written con-movie; the great mystery in this film being that you won't have to pay attention. There are no breadcrumbs to follow and you only get to see into the omniscient mind of the detective when he Sherlock Holmes' this mess into a semblance of order at the end. Ta-da!!!
Solid 5/10 with zero juice to go any higher.
Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness (2022)
Actually pretty bad.
Every once in a while the Marvel franchise throws out some outrageously funny movie where you can look past all the plot holes because it's a bit of a laugh but DSMVM was not this and was presented as a serious action adventure.
I think the biggest problem is that the Marvel universes no longer have any rules that the universes have to adhere to. This is a collection of universes where you have Tony Stark and Groot, and witches, and zombies... you literally have aliens and zombies. This is poorly explained as earth 616 + others. Because anything and everything is now possible there is no longer any meaning, it's not madness, it's nonsense.
The Simpsons: The Star of the Backstage (2021)
Never again.
This is the first Simpsons I have watched for about 2 years, always hoping that they'll finally get some decent writers for such a great platform. And... It stank terribly!
The staff writers were murdering some kind of musical theatre, ...and no jokes! The writers should stick to what they know; writing tik-toks and dyeing their hair zany colors.
It was pretty near to impossible to sit through the entire episode, and the inevitable reference from Bart about the musical Rent? Oh yeah, for sure erotic dancers that are dying from AIDS sounds exactly like something a 10 year old Bart Simpson (that likes dogs and skateboards) would know all about.
To be clear, the voice acting was good, the animation was clean and colourful, the cinematography, all of it perfection that was utterly destroyed by lousy, plotless writing. You would actually have to fight the characters to write that badly.
How can this show possibly be drawing enough people to make financial sense?
Too woke & out of touch, such a shame.
If they can't up their game then it's time to pull the plug folks.
