Here at Art Infliction, we are very structured with things, such as Kaycee And The Forefront and Steve Believes.
However, there will be weeks where Steve Kaycee won’t make the Monday deadline for the former of those two pages, along with the fact that he could have more than one sports entry during a particular week.
But what if Steve could make up for a missed deadline? And what if he had a page to run in tandem with Steve Believes?
Well, the answers are here on this page, as we house both belated assignments and impromptu assignments.
Or in this case, Steve squeezing in a Kaycee And The Forefront entry into this page whenever the aforementioned Kaycee And The Forefront page, along with both The Bonus Round page and Miscellaneous page, are all booked solid.
So now you are most likely wondering, “What is Steve tackling this time?”
Well, he is blogging about what almost made the content cut in “Flickasbord, Volume 198”.
You can check it out via the entry below!
**Note: The following content has controversial wording. Discretion is advised
“Flickasbord, Volume 199”
Whenever I think of the number 199, I always think of the fact that Tom Brady was pick 199 of the 2000 NFL Draft. And while this 199th Flickasbord entry pales/will always pale in comparison to that specific NFL Draft occurrence, I consider it an honor to have at least 199 achievements in something, whether it’s this entry or “Igor” being the 199th Flickuum evaluation, simply because I feel that Tom Brady can inspire us all to shoot for the success that we have envision(ed) for ourselves.
Let’s begin.
First up, I did say no more pardons, but seeing Sasha Luss in the movie “Anna” reminded me of Margarita Levieva in the 2009 movie “Spread”. And given that the latter could potentially outrank the former, I have pardoned it for a third re-assessment. Alright, now pardons are completely out of my system.
Next up, I almost mixed up “French Exit” with “The French Dispatch”, simply because both movies have “French” in their titles. Of course, I pardoned the former two days ago, followed by being tempted to add the latter into the most recent Flickasbord entry since it was fresh on my mind. But there was no way for me to ease it into that entry, so I instead made a note to add it to the cut of this entry. Besides, I need a Wes Anderson mulligan after that pointless fourth re-assessment of “Asteroid City”. Stay tuned.
The Unbreakable Boy is my most recent completed assessment/re-assessment, and the aforementioned “Anna” just became my 1,357th completed Flickuum evaluation. However, the movie of the moment for me right now is “Kiss Of The Spider Woman”, due to every one of Jennifer Lopez’s appearances being as vibrant as I had envisioned. Yes, Jenny From The Block is continuing to have a Flickuum resurgence to the point that another vibrant movie of hers is finally making the assessment/re-assessment cut after being overlooked for nearly 20 years. And as to what that movie is, well it’s “El Cantante”, which also had/has her ex-husband, Marc Anthony, starring alongside her. Yes, I know that the two of them as a couple was considered polarizing at times and they’ve long been divorced from one another, but I think that I’d enjoy the 2007 movie way more than the portmanteau couple of “Blyan” collaborating on “Deadpool & Wolverine” together. Yes, vibrancy and a very easy bar to clear for the now divorced couple, from the standpoint of them possibly adding to their combined total of 15 overall guaranteed Flickuum movies.
A friend of mine named Christy, whom I lost touch with, was the last person that I had brought up “Pan’s Labyrinth” to, as I told her one day back in 2018 that I had gotten that movie mixed up with “Labyrinth” multiple times. And as to what she said, well she said that I (me) should see both of them. Of course, I have the latter pending a second re-assessment yet have allowed the former to continuously slip through the cracks. But luckily, that’s no longer the case, as my affinity for Latin-based movies, which long predated the discovery of my Spanish ancestry, has prompted me to give the 2006 New York Film Festival release a look to see if it will join other Spanish-speaking movies, such as “Two Times You” and “El Hotel”, in The Project or not. Stay tuned.
During quite a few occasions when I went to my closest Regal this year, I noticed a poster for the movie “Light Of The World”, followed by wondering if it would ever be accessible for me to assess, as I liked the poster artwork. And as it turned out, I noticed that movie in the new movie releases section of iTunes yesterday, thus answering my question. Of course, I’ll wait to rent it when the rental price is less than $19.99 (pre-sales tax), but it’s at least one of the 1,800-plus options that I can eventually go to when it comes to filling more “pre-Dream Scenario” Flickuum spots.
And finally, Miami buddy cop movies have had a successful track record in making The Project, thus five of the overall guaranteed Flickuum spots belong to “Miami Vice” and the four “Bad Boys” installments. And sometime next year, a sixth such movie could also make The Project, as I saw the trailer for the Ben Affleck-Matt Damon collaboration “The Rip”. And based on the trailer, along with finding out that Sasha Calle is also in the cast, I have decided to add that movie to the roster. Now let’s find out which January 2026 release will be assessed first out of that movie, “Soulm8te” and “Mercy”.
Well assessments/re-assessments, following the aforementioned “Kiss Of The Spider Woman”, haven’t happened as rapidly as the first half of last week. But given some of the load-management tactics that I’ll be utilizing both this week and next week, the progress will resume and could result in more than one movie following the most recent successful movie into The Project.
Until the next time.
