Before, during and after both my assessment of “Magazine Dreams” and my second re-assessment of “The Glimmer Man”, I amassed 311 (Avalon High hasn’t been officially pardoned yet) more pardons, which all have been allocated to three specific categories on The Active Assessment/Re-Assessment Roster Tethered Together & Color-Coded page, thus the even exchange protocol for movies on the Movie-Ocrity/Dishonorable Mention page has been waived effective immediately. Plus, given that 37 other movies were up for pardon before those 311, those 37 movies too will be granted that same freedom. And as to what those 37 movies are, well they are the following:
- Duck Soup
- Watermelon Man
- The Sixth Man
- Senseless
- Lock, Stock And Two Smoking Barrels
- Snatch
- The Alamo
- War Of The Worlds
- Munich
- Freedomland
- Mr. Magorium’s Wonder Emporium
- Milk
- Confessions Of A Shopaholic
- Fighting
- Like Crazy
- The Tree Of Life
- Hick
- Smiley
- 9/11
- Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri
- The Gentlemen
- Minari
- News Of The World
- Shaft ‘71
- Shaft ’19
- Mad Max
- The Road Warrior
- Dick Tracy
- After The Sunset
- Three Thousand Years Of Longing
- Fool’s Gold
- Spread
- The Matador
- What We Do In The Shadows
- Broken Flowers
- So I Married An Axe Murderer
- The Informer
Next up, I’ve been making it a point to apply Flickuum Project inclusion for movies that I’ve already seen yet are completely absent from the Mega Movie Package, with at least 20 such movies falling under that category. And with that being said, one of the such movies that falls under that category will get a re-assessment a little over 14 years after I assessed it. And as to what that movie is, well it’s “The Bourne Identity”, which subsequently kept slipping through the cracks, but that’s what happens when The Project is in constant upheaval. But now that the Matt Damon-led movie has resurfaced, it has been added to the roster, along with the rest of The Bourne franchise.
Tier 12 has just went from 85 movies to 76 (the ending of “Anora” makes sense to me five days after the completion of its assessment, and “Extraction II” has gotten a 40F designation, due to its predecessor being Top Four-protected in Tier 13) movies, as I’ve decided to re-assess “The Zone Of Interest”, “The Re-Education Of Molly Singer”, “The Magician’s Elephant”, “Past Lives”, “Float”, “Puppy Love” and “Spellbound”, on the basis of the first one being a movie that’s similar to one of the 311 Movie-Ocrity/Dishonorable Mention movies that will be pardoned on Thursday, the second one possibly being something that can work well with a Melissa Barrera movie, the third one having me at “Elephant” since the live-action remake of “Dumbo” is my favorite Disney movie, the fourth one possibility being neck-and-neck with “The Farewell” in The Project, the fifth one possibly being than the fourth one, the sixth one being as deserving of a re-assessment as “F Marry Kill” and the seventh one riding on the possible Rachel Zegler momentum of “Y2K” and the 2025 version of “Snow White”. But these will be the last ever Tier 12 movies that are exempt (for now) from competition for the Final 99 Flickuum spots. Stay tuned.
I’ve spent most of this entry covering a lot of re-treads, which feels a little monotonous to be honest. So, with that being said, I looked through Jessica Rothe’s filmography to see if she has any more movies that I want to assess since I’ve overlooked a lot of her “pre-Happy Death Day” movies. And sure enough, I found one that A] Jumped out at me and B] Is accessible to assess, with that movie being “Jack, Jules, Esther & Me”. Of course, this movie would have never popped up on my radar if expansion to 4,000 didn’t go into effect nearly two weeks ago. Now let’s see if she can make it 12 Flickuum movies via the 2013 Austin Film Festival release.
And finally, I took a shot in the dark to see if “Magic City Memoirs” was back on Netflix via typing that title into the IMDB search engine. And as to how that went, well it’s available to rent on Amazon, thus that movie won’t get the dubious distinction of being the Mega Movie Package nomad that gets placed on the Movies That Mega Tat Refuses To See page. And given that the movie really picks up via the presence of Natalie Martinez, I feel that it can beat a lot of the 1,231 enshrined Flickuum movies.
Well, with some of the new additions and the re-additions to the roster via this entry, and a much bigger roster haul two days from now, the current amount of “pre-Dream Scenario” cap space is 580. And while that is still a decent amount of cap space to work with, the margin for error has somewhat decreased, thus the beginning of another likely round of roster spot musical chairs.
Until the next time.
