The combination of having a ton of assessments/re-assessments currently accessible to me, a list of 39 possibly impromptu assessments to ponder and not having the consistent energy to do a wee hours doubleheader has made me revise my pursuit of 1,400 completed Flickuum evaluations, as well as having me constantly tinker with integrating accessible assessments/re-assessments into my current two-month window of total upcoming evaluation days. And since I’m constantly tinkering, I can also take some of those 39 movies and add them to the current assessment/re-assessment roster.
Let’s begin.
First up, I had a huge gap in between theatrical outings two days ago, so I killed some time, by first getting lunch at a nearby Subway and then going down the street to a Barnes-N-Noble to add to my Stamps Rewards membership. And as to how the latter went, well initially there was nothing evaluation-ready nor flier-worthy for me to purchase until I noticed the A24 movie “Priscilla” via DVD/Blu-ray combo, thus I picked it up for an assessment that will happen either today or tomorrow. Yes, I’m a consumer of almost anything A24, thus why I’m going to give that movie a look, along with the fact that I already have the Austin Butler-led “Elvis” biopic in my pile of accessible assessments/re-assessments, so I can look at the same time period about the same subject from two different perspectives. Hopefully, that Barnes-N-Noble gamble pays off.
Next up, staying with A24, another one of their movies that kept going unnoticed to me was “Climax”, a movie that gave/gives Sofia Boutella the rarity of being number one on the call sheet. And given that she is already a three-time Flickuum champion with the upside of having more Project movies, along with that movie having vibes that are somewhat similar to “Midsummer”, it has been added to the roster.
Back in the 2010s, there were a lot of those movies with those over-the-top posters that eventually became over-the-top DVD cover art, such as “Cooties” and “Tucker & Dale Vs. Evil”, two movies that will eventually be enshrined. And of course, those two movies aren’t the only ones with such posters, as there are others, including “Sushi Girl”, the latter of which I noticed while exercising a “buy three, get a fourth free” deal on eBay five days ago. So, given that I like those types of movies, along with it (Sushi Girl) having a very free-thinking actress in Cortney Palm, I’ve decided to add it to the roster. Now let’s see if it can live up to the reputations of those other two movies.
There have been times that I have added movies to a queue (Tubi) as possible assessments, only for me to almost forget about them. Of course, this has constantly happened with the Pedro Pascal movie “Prospect”, except I have it written down in my document of impromptu assessments. But this type of constant happening will no longer be the case, as I have chosen it as another one of the additions to the assessment/re-assessment roster. And given what that movie is about, it can possibly fill the “High Life” void in The Project. Stay tuned.
And finally, “Teen Wolf: The Movie” has caused Shelley Hennig’s stock rise to the point that four of her other movies that were already pardoned for re-assessment will be re-assessed sooner than I had originally anticipated. And of course, with that being said, she’s such a presence that I made the attempt to find something of hers that I haven’t seen before. And sure enough, I was able to find such a movie in “Cult Killer”, which has her as the third one on the call sheet. Hopefully, it will be an under-the-radar success instead of a movie with the DVD cover art of a movie that looks like something you’d find in a $5 bin at Walmart. Stay tuned.
Well, it’s time to add my list of Tier 7 movies that are awaiting graduation to Tier 5, and all five of those movies could get me five steps closer to that goal. Plus, any/all of them could get me in the right frame of mind for resuming evaluations, as addressing Blake Lively related matters for The Project almost sapped my mental strength completely during the wee hours of this morning and I can’t have that when I give “Shrek 2” another try.
Until the next time.
