This expansion to 2,600 has really galvanized the movie-assessing/movie-re-assessing part of me, as with having a lot of room for many options reduces the overwhelming thought of needing certain movies to tank, in order to meet a certain quota. Let’s begin.
First up, during my re-assessment of “Wyrm”, I realized that “Miller’s Girl” needs another chance to prove its Flickuum eligibility, as they are both Jenna Ortega movies and the latter could very well outrank the former, especially after reading the latter’s plot online. So, given all of that, I will rip up my June 25 pact of no more pardons and write a new one after I pardon (already did) the latter of the two for re-assessment.
For over a year and a half, I had a list of six pre-2023 movies laying around for assessment, yet they kept getting lost in the shuffle for all this time. But thanks to the most recent expansion, I can incorporate them into my ever-changing roster of assessments/re-assessments. And as to what those six movies are, well they are 1) A pair of Brittany Snow movies in Petunia and The Vicious Kind, 2) Vanilla Sky, which gave me a small glimpse of three-time Flickuum champion Penelope Cruz, 3) Buffalo Soldiers, which is an early movie for 11-time Flickuum champion Idris Elba, 4) The Adjustment Bureau, which looks like a sophisticated version of Eagle Eye, and 5) Stealing Harvard, a movie that looks like a fun caper, despite the presence of the ever-annoying Tom Green. Yes, those six movies don’t exactly inspire high anticipation like Carmen or Fat Camp, but any/all of them could be pleasant surprises like Night Swim or The Hunt, the latter of which was the 609th Flickuum evaluation.
And finally, I was a big fan of the singer Brandy when I was 13 years old, but for a reason that still mystifies me to this very day. And as to why I say mystified, well she peaked way too early with her popularity to the point that I was already tired of her when “I Still Know What You Did Last Summer” came out. And that’s not all because in addition, she has no song that catches my attention like the Demi Lovato song “Still Alive” does, the sitcom “Moesha” became increasingly cringey and she has nothing else from an acting standpoint that is of interest to me. So, because of getting “Brandy fatigue” at 13 years of age and having that fatigue remain within me, I have added her version of “Cinderella”, her hype train made-for-TV movie “Double Platinum”, the 2001 live-action/2D-animation hybrid “Osmosis Jones” and her upcoming movie “The Front Room”, which is a figurative room that I’ll never set foot in, to the Movies That Mega Tat Refuses To See page.
Damn, I’m at 99 volumes of Flickasbord, which I didn’t even think was possible when I wrote volume 1 back in early-January. But I guess that’s what happens when so much movie information floats around in my head. Oh yes, I also have to write an epic 100th volume.
Until the next time.
