Best and Worst of 2024
Hey bumchums. I'm trying to rack my booze-addled brain for all the 2024 flicks I've seen. Would love to hear your thoughts on what's worth seeing because it's good and what's worth seeing because it isn't. It would also be cool if heated arguments broke out over what's good and what isn't.
A list of my faves and not-faves so far, in rough order of preference (2023 movies that didn't get a wide release until '24 will be noted):
Good
The Substance
Love Lies Bleeding
The Coffee Table (not 24)
Spaceman
Oddity
Terrifier 3
Hundreds of Beavers (not 24)
It's What's Inside
Maxxxine
Longlegs
Late Night with the Devil (not 24)
Wonka
Abigail
Dumb Money
Scoop
Beverly Hills Cop: Axel F
Not Good
Civil War
Infested
Strange Darling
Under Paris
Destroy All Monsters
Don't Move
In a Violent Nature
The Platform 2
The Trust Fall
Good Boy (not 24)

Mike Tyson vs. Jake Paul
November 15th on Netflix.
I've been waiting a long time for this. I want to see Mike annihilate Jake. Jake loses either way, beating up an old guy or getting beat up by an old guy.

Dylan's New Nightmare (2023)
A Freddy fan film featuring Miko Hughes reprising his role as Dylan Porter, son of the late SFX guru Chase Porter and institutionalized horror actress Heather Langenkamp.
First off, the video begins with a disclaimer that it contains suicidal content, which it doesn't. The production itself is pretty professional, so I knew I could end up watching the whole thing.
Miko Hughes is a short dude. He's also got a beard now and he's a bit more jacked. I met him at a con a few years back and he said acting wasn't really his thing after his few childhood flicks, but he's certainly fine at it. In fact, the character is trying to audition for a role in Hatchet 5 in this short film.
Freddy does appear, and it ain't Englund, but it's not bad either. A pretty gross and creepy look to Freddy here, opting to look closer to traditional Freddy rather than the New Nightmare version.
Overall, it's a decent effort, though it just kinda... ends. Then of its 35 minute runtime, 8 minutes of that are end credits. Don't you just hate that?

Late Night with the Devil
Have there been any threads about this? I saw it last night, largely because... because... God forgive me... because Ariana Grande recommended it, in that clip I posted last night in the shout box. OK, I realize that I just lost all respect and street credit from everybody reading this, but just... just... just... I got nothing.
Having said that: I watched it last night, and it was interesting, in a demented way. I am waffling on what my final interpretation of it is. There are two possibilities, or perhaps some combination of the two. I won't say more than that right now, partly to avoid spoilers and partly because it is time for me to get the hell out of my apartment for the day.
Anyway... worth a watch, IMAAAGHP. (In my and also Ariana Grande's humble opinion).

wages etc
I'll stick this all here so as not to polute the shoutbox -
@Box & Vince. Perhaps you don't know but inflation happened all over the world. not just NY, calc.
Here from forbes
https://www.forbes.com/sites/errolschweizer/2022/05/10/how-windfall-profits-have-supercharged-food-inflation/?sh=3b43b5966672
forbes the famously pro worker, anti business periodical (thats sarcasm btw) look at figure A
Vince you spoke about mcdonalds. Look at their profits
https://www.macrotrends.net/stocks/charts/MCD/mcdonalds/gross-profit 2020 (down due to covid) but 21,22,23 really shot up. Now if they rose the prices to cover their increased costs of wages then
profits would of stayed about the same.
There are so many articles about it. In short basically everyone agrees it was just companies using other excuses (covid/war) to make windfall profits. Some countries have even done a windfall tax
also you might wanna check the they doubled the NY mimimum wage statement, everyones memory is valiable
https://dol.ny.gov/history-minimum-wage-new-york-state
(bit busy atm) I'll return

The Penguin (2024)
Colin Farrell is back under heavy prosthetics to play Oswald Cobblepot, Gotham gangster from 2022's The Batman. The first episode picks up 1 week after that film, where Gotham is recovering from the Riddler's flooding and crime families are re-organizing.
Oswald isn't a top-dog here. He's a hot-head and he makes mistakes. He wants respect and he's ready to take it. He plays it really well, keeping you rooting for him even when he's clearly an asshole. We'll see if he retains that Tony Soprano-like quality as the series plays out.
Fortunately, this wont be some dumb superhero garbage. This is a grounded crime story, and producers assure us that Batman wont even be in it. Weird move, but I think it'll work, given the show's R-rated tone. Who needs Batman around to ruin the fun? Penguin isn't afraid to get his hands dirty, and that's what we all want here, right? The bad guys are always more interesting than the heroes.
Promising start. I'll keep watching...
