A little over a month ago, I blogged about a couple instances of the uniqueness about the number 218, which you can read about via the intro of “Flickasbord, Volume 218”. And now the same can be said for the number 226, with them being 1] My first evaluation of a Nadine Velazquez movie could have occurred on February 26, 2006 via the movie “Chasing Papi”, only for that movie to be ousted from The Flickuum Project for over a decade before its return in late-2024, 2] My 200th evaluation occurred on February 26, 2012 via the movie “Pocahontas”, 3] My final evaluation as a 40-year-old (in 2025) occurred via the movie “Scary Stories To Tell In The Dark” and 4] This entry is volume 226 of Flickasbord.
Let’s begin.
First up, what’s a Flickasbord entry without any mention of A24, as two of their movies that I’ve shunned multiple times apiece actually have certain aspects in their favor. And as to what those two movies are, well they are 1] On Becoming A Guinea Fowl, due to its ending needing to be re-investigated, and 2] Men, simply because Jessie Buckley’s Flickuum stock is hot right now. Yes, Tier 12 and the Garbage Claim page will each lose a movie and possibly permanently, should each of those pardoned/exempted movies finally prove that they have what it takes to join the group that was first started by “Wildcats” and last extended by “Tag”. Stay tuned.
Next up, another addition of 2023 and beyond movies to the assessment/re-assessment roster was par for the course, as both browsing via iTunes and being shown trailers theatrically brought forth six movies that could find themselves as final Flickuum 95 movies, depending on how the ongoing assessment/re-assessment schedule plays out. And as to what those six movies are, well you can find out via the chart below:
| Movie | Why it has been added to the roster |
| Dolly | It could give Fabianne Therse a second Flickuum movie, following “Teenage Cocktail” a.k.a. evaluation 1,436. |
| The Yeti | A horror movie about a yeti? Sign me up! |
| Idiotka | Anna Baryshnikov deserves something chronologically after “Love Lies Bleeding”. Plus, this movie has three very dynamic actresses in Camila Mendes, Gigi Zumbado and Julia Fox. |
| The Sheep Detectives | The talking sheep in a live-action movie, along with the countryside aesthetic, gives off vibes that are similar to “Babe”. |
| Star Wars: The Mandalorian And Grogu | The reason that this movie wasn’t added to the roster sooner was because it was unknown where its events fell/fall in the Star Wars Cinematic Universe. But now that I have my answer, I’ll be booking my ticket for the final week of May, along with watching Episodes II through VI before then. |
| Moana | This movie could be surprisingly successful like last year’s live-action remake of “Lilo & Stitch”. |
In a new and possibly one-off Flickasbord component, there are three movies that have the fake trailer look to them to the point that they look stupid, thus the question of which one can/could possibly be the best of those three losers. And as to what those three potential losers are, well they are 1] The Cameron Diaz-James Marsden movie “The Box”, 2] The second of the two James Franco-Jonah Hill collaborations in “True Story”, and 3] The Kitchen, the latter of which I actually assessed in late-2019 yet want to see again, because it could be one of those gritty movies that is perfect to evaluate on a Saturday afternoon. Alright, so contestant number three possibly has an inside track of making The Project after all, but the miscasting of Tiffany Haddish is the only drawback about it, thus this “Three Stooges” assessment/re-assessment format, which will take place some time within the last nine days of next month. Stay tuned.
Given the pace of my unranked Flickuum movies becoming ranked since this most recent February 17, Flickuum evaluation eras will end much sooner than expected, i.e. the one of Christian Serratos, via “Cow Belles” being evaluated tomorrow night and “96 Minutes” likely being evaluated at some point this year. Of course, she’s too dynamic to have her Flickuum evaluation era end that quickly, thus I’ve added her movie “Pop Star” to the roster, along with pardoning “Flight 7500”, in hopes of extending it. Now it’s just a matter of how soon that I can get accessibility to assess/re-assess the latter half of those movies.
And finally, there are four movies in Tier 9 that each have a single asterisk next to them, meaning that it is unknown when they be released or if they will ever be released. And as to what those four movies are, well they are 1] The Collaboration, which has been an upcoming movie for Melissa Barrera via her IMDB filmography for two years now, 2] The One, which is another horror movie for Melissa Barrera, yet has disappeared from that upcoming section of her aforementioned IMDB filmography, 3] Ship, which has Mike Colter reprising his role as Louis Gaspare from the movie “Plane”, and is currently listed as only a “pitch” in his IMDB filmography, and 4] Killing Winston Jones, a movie that was completed all the way back in 2012 yet still hasn’t seen the light of day, due to Danny Masterson’s own conduct in all likelihood. Yes, I want to see all four of those movies and I’ll keep checking my Gmail inbox for Google Alerts about them. Plus, if any of them see the light of day after the March Madness style competition deadline, then they will be relegated to the group of movies (2023 and newer) that will be competing for the final 95 Flickuum spots. Stay tuned.
Well, given the routine that Flickuum evaluations have put me in since exactly a week ago, progress in clearing the assessment/re-assessment roster has been slow, thus this continuous overage. But with things opening up after I wake up this coming Monday, that overage could reduce a bit, to the point that the movies currently impacted by it could take tentatively reserved Flickuum spots, like “Night Patrol” did with “The Belko Experiment” two days ago. Now I need to regain my momentum in knocking out assignments.
Until the next time.
