I didn’t realize until just now that the amount of Flickasbord entries surpassed the total of United States volumes of Now That’s What I Call Music!, which happened a week ago yesterday. Of course, it was a feat that I had no intent on achieving yet I somehow pulled it off. And while it’s not the feat that I had my sights set on to begin with, it is pretty cool that volume 91 (my tie-breaking Flickasbord entry) included mentions of Melissa Barrera’s next two post-Your Monster releases. And given how much of a fixture that she is/will be in The Flickuum Project via her movies, it’s apropos that the mention of her was included in that volume.
Alright, so now that I have acknowledged some individual history in the Art Infliction Content Universe, it’s time to follow up that entry with some new pieces of content in this entry, so let’s begin.
First up, my number of theatrical trips for 2024 is 13 and I’m going to keep it that way. However, my first 2025 theatrical trip won’t be “In The Grey” nor “Paddington In Peru”, because I’m going to option a late-2024 release as my first 2025 theatrical outing just like I opened this year with the 2023 movie “The Iron Claw”. And as to what that movie will be, well it will be the Bob Dylan biopic “A Complete Unknown”, due to music biopics having a strong track record in making The Project. Plus, I also want to assess it because Monica Barbaro needs another Flickuum movie, especially since I very much enjoyed her performance in “Top Gun: Maverick”.
After deciding to take a flier on “Song Of The South”, I have come to the realization there is no way that I can assess that movie online, nor is there a way that I can get an inexpensive (and compatible) VHS copy of it for my VCR. So, with that being said, I’m going to take that movie off my assessment/re-assessment roster and place it on the Movies That Mega Tat Refuses To See page, followed by having “Yes Day” take its place on the roster, due to Jenna Ortega being a presence in anything that she appears in.
When it comes to pardoning movies for The Project, I usually blog about as such. However, I didn’t blog about the four that I granted from this most recent Sunday to two days ago, as I needed to take a break from blogging to recharge my mental batteries. And of course, with that being said, better late than never, as I have decided to get around to citing the pardons of “Good Boys”, “New Jersey Drive”, “Showgirls” and “The Blues Brothers” in blog entry form, thus those pardons are just now being blogged about. Yes, I was that mentally burned out from the afternoon of this most recent Sunday. But fortunately, the batteries have been recharged, thus these four citations. Now let’s see if three of the pardons are worth it or not since re-assessing “Showgirls” was a total energy-sapping process. Stay tuned.
And finally, after seeing the beauty of Idalis DeLeon butchered in “Woman Thou Art Loosed”, along with resigning myself to the possibility that the 2006 version of “Running Scared” will fail its assessment, I have decided to pardon her movie “Ride” from the Movie-Ocrity/Dishonorable Mention page, because that one is the safest bet in being a part of a package deal with her movie “Vicious Circle”. Yes, the third of those four movies will be her other Flickuum movie, although it has to be re-assessed, due to the current logjam on the assessment/re-assessment roster. Stay tuned.
Well, time to see what other foreseeable assessments/re-assessments are worthy of The Project, as “Wonder” just punched its ticket into the group of movies that have reserved Flickuum spots in Tier 7. But I’m not going to cram the foreseeable ones into impossible deadlines, because that will just burn me out mentally if I do as such. Instead, I’ll complete what I plan to complete for the rest of 2024, but with A) The modification of getting to 1,200 completed Flickuum evaluations instead of 1,252 completed Flickuum evaluations before New Year’s Day 2025, B) My decision to go a little bit more on feel than solely on pre-determined scheduling for what I want to complete in 2024, and C) A much greater emphasis on load-management for the foreseeable completion goals because over-thinking them will lead to certain scenarios, such as still being stuck on 1,127. Yes, it’s time to truly apply the definition of smard.
Until the next time.
