**Note: The following content has controversial wording. Discretion is advised
I knew that I would be writing a Flickasbord entry this week, but did not expect today to be the day for that. But with how many various content-gathering activities that will be in the foreseeable future for me, I thought to myself, “What the hell?” and just decided to go for it.
Let’s begin.
First up, an actor, whom is no stranger to appearing in multiple franchises, is Antonio Banderas, as he has appeared in A] The second and third installments of the “El Mariachi” trilogy, B] Five of the six Shrek/Puss In Boots movies, C] The third installment of “The Expendables”, and D] The fifth and final installment of the “Indiana Jones” franchise. Yes, the actor that upped his coolness with me via “Desperado” has been quite a franchise journeyman in his career, and I didn’t even mention the “Spy Kids” franchise yet, as that’s a whole cluster of movies that continuously slipped through the cracks for me. But that’s no longer the case, as his endlessly rising Flickuum stock makes me want to asses the three installments that he has appeared in, plus the two installments that he was absent from, therefore the assessment/re-assessment roster is now up to 1,875 movies. But that number will no doubt increase as this entry continues.
Next up, what’s a Flickasbord entry without an A24 movie, as sometime in between the first nine minutes of my evaluation for “Glass” and the writing of this entry, I somehow came across the movie “Outlaws” and subsequently gravitated towards it, due to it being a movie that takes place in Australia. Of course, A24 has been very hit-and-miss with me since late-June, but that doesn’t mean that I’ll shy away from assessing more movies that are in their massive catalog. Plus, the Stephen McCallum-directed movie could fill the “Savages” void in The Project, although the latter takes place in New Zealand, but both movies are very similar in tone, therefore the “void” remark. Stay tuned.
It looks like there will be a third hate-watch of “Green Lantern”, as I’m reneging on my vow of both no more pardons and no more exemptions, due to a hodgepodge lucky seven of four seemingly permanently movies, two non-Top 29 protected Tier 13 movies and one Tier 12 movie each making a case for getting another chance at following “Gabby’s Dollhouse: The Movie” into Tier 5. And as to what those seven movies are, well you can find out via the chart below:
| Movie | Why it will get another chance |
| Wolfs | George Clooney and Brad Pitt attempting to turn this movie into a 21st century version of “Tango & Cash” is worthy of a re-assessment. |
| Life Itself | It’s rare that two of my favorite actors in Oscar Isaac, and the aforementioned Antonio Banderas appear in a movie together, thus that rarity alone making this one worthy of a re-assessment. |
| Under The Skin | If “Lucy” can be re-assessed, then this movie should be as well. |
| The Blackcoat’s Daughter | This movie is perfect to watch during nighttime and/or wee hours, along with it having a Zach Cregger style of execution. |
| Your Sister’s Sister | The mistake that I made with this movie was having it be one of the ones that I re-assessed after both my 2024 and 2025 COVID vaccines, therefore I’ll re-assess it in a better state of mind. Plus, I like how Emily Blunt looked wearing eyeglasses, as she looked like a sexy office woman. |
| Authors Anonymous | This movie is yet another one that was assessed in between the assessment and physical copy test run of “Husband For Hire”, therefore that fact earns it a re-assessment. |
| Never Cry Wolf | If “The Journey Of Natty Gann” can be re-assessed a second time, then this movie should be as well. |
In another Tier 13 related paragraph, 29 of its now 94 movies currently have reserved Flickuum spots, thus the mention of “Top 29 protected”. But as soon as I ranked “Jem And The Holograms” 30th in that tier two days ago, I knew right then and there that I wanted the Jon M. Chu-directed movie in The Project, as A] It grew on me and B] Its mid-credits scene is open to interpretation, therefore it is now the 30th Tier 13 movie with a 9522R designation. Oh, and since I used the numbers 30 and 13 in a sentence together, I’ve also added “13 Going On 30” to the roster since that particular number usage somehow sounded like the title of that movie in my head. Some of these paragraphs sure have a way of writing themselves.
Breaking news (although that won’t be the case when this entry first posts and then archives), there will be a fourth hate-watch of “Green Lantern”. And as to why that will be the case, well the seven Rocky/Creed movies that I assessed/reassessed and the four Rambo movies that I assessed/re-assessed have all been pardoned, due to the eternal coolness of Sylvester Stallone. And since the respective seven and four installments of those two different franchises have all been pardoned, well both “Creed” sequels” and “Rambo: Last Blood” will get assessments. Looks like marathons of both the army and athletic competition will be in my future.
A couple weeks ago, I mentioned adding “Ed” to the assessment/re-assessment roster as a way to increase my chances of getting a Matt LeBlanc movie into The Project. And while I’m totally ironclad about my ruling for “Lovesick”, I don’t want to limit the figurative eggs to just the baskets of the 1996 movie and “Lost In Space”, therefore I have added the two “Charlie’s Angels” movies (from two decades ago) to the roster. And since I’m on the topic of “Charlie’s Angels”, the 2019 version has been added to the roster as well.
And finally, I’m happy to have amassed a double-digit (11) amount of Shemar Moore movies for The Project, as he is just too cool to be under 10 Flickuum movies. And while the successful re-assessment of “Kill Me, Deadly” is an added bonus to what he amassed prior to that, a movie (How To Marry A Billionaire: A Christmas Tale) with him and John Stamos together is just way too cool to pass up, therefore it too has been added to the roster, so “The Bounce Back” could be at a dozen Flickuum movies, while the coolest member of “Full House” could get his second, should the 2000 movie pass its assessment. Stay tuned.
Well, the running count of assessments/re-assessments has increased once again and with very little movement on that roster, as the only recent semblance of that was the second re-assessment of “Lionheart”. And while a lot more movement will occur this week, I don’t know exactly when that will be, as the evaluation of “Doctor Strange” could occur when today (November 11) becomes tomorrow. Either way, I will be on an assessment/re-assessment heater before midnight Saturday, and The Flickuum completion total will go from 1,366 to 1,367 before then as well.
Until the next time.
