Steve Kaycee has been on a tear (especially in 2023 and 2024) with writing multiple blog entries in a single week and doing so for multiple weeks.
However, he has grown tired of constantly converting fairly new blog entries into non-menu website pages, as he feels that A] Doing so doesn’t give such blog entries the proper exposure that they deserve and B] The constant impromptu pre-writes take their toll on him more and more.
But luckily, the impromptu pre-writes have (and will continue) to dwindle, as will the early non-menu website page conversions. And of course, with the latter being said, this page comes into play once again, as Steve Kaycee has a blog entry that he wrote before the 01-02-25 Nog Report on January 1, with it being about the possibility of Snow White And The Seven Dwarfs being superseded by a different movie as the oldest chronological Flickuum movie.
You can see it below.
“Flickasbord, Volume 127”
126. That’s how many Flickasbord blog entries that I wrote in 2024, and all of those entries have brought forth both a lot of foundational pieces and quality depth for The Flickuum Project.
Of course, all 2,900 pre-Dream Scenario spots aren’t yet filled, and there is still a bit more leeway in adding movies to the assessment/re-assessment roster. But of course, some of that leeway will be occupied by the movies that will be blogged about via this entry.
Let’s begin.
First up, let’s begin with five more Movie-Ocrity/Dishonorable movies that each make a case for why they should get re-considered for The Project. Yes, I’ve kept saying that no more pardons will be granted, but these five soon-to-be announced movies each have something that makes them worthy. And of course, you can find out which movies that they are via the chart below:
| Movie | Its case for Flickuum reconsideration |
| Freaky Friday ‘03 | This movie somewhat paved the way for “Confessions Of A Teenage Drama Queen”, the girl garage band scene is better than the band performance scene in “Woody Woodpecker” and it has the potential to be neck-and-neck with “Material Girls”. |
| Detroit | From both a historical standpoint and based on a true story standpoint, this movie is just as deserving as “Till” in being a part of The Project. |
| Roll Bounce | This movie has the potential to be neck-and-neck with “Lottery Ticket”. |
| First Sunday | Ice Cube being cast with Keith David in movies has resulted in both “Barbershop” being enshrined, and the aforementioned “Lottery Ticket” getting a 30F designation in Tier 7. This is their third collaboration, so might as well see if the 2008 movie can join those other two movies in Flickuum lore or not. |
| Into The Blue | Every time that this movie seems destined to fail, Jessica Alba always saves it with her presence. |
Next up, there is always that one movie that I have no idea how it made my list of eventual additions to the assessment/re-assessment roster. And of course, with that being said, the Dutch language stop-motion movie “Oink (Knor)” is such a movie. Regardless, I’m glad that I wrote it down on that list because both the plot and animation make it pretty much a shoe-in to punch its ticket into The Project.
Six days ago, a friend and teammate of mine saw The Flickuum rankings page and mentioned that one of her favorite movies “Flight Of The Navigator” wasn’t on there, although that page is entirely my subjectivity. However, I also encourage external ideas for Flickuum movies, as there are still hundreds of open spots for The Project. So, with that being said, I took that input and decided to add that movie to the roster. Now let’s see if her input can produce another gain for a group that was both started by “Wildcats” and extended by “One Man And His Cow”.
Staying on the topic of “Flight Of The Navigator”, I got that movie mixed up with “Monster In The Closet”, as both movies were released in 1986. But that comes with the territory when kids movies about science get released in the same calendar year. Regardless, that movie will make the roster because I thought it onto the list of eventual additions. Plus, let’s see if it will join the group of enshrined 1986 movies, which currently stands at eight.
A24 provided me with a mixed bag of movies in 2024, as the quartet of “The Iron Claw”, “Love Lies Bleeding”, “Civil War” and “We In Love In Time” were awesome theatrical experiences, while the at-home viewing experiences of “MaXXXine” and “High Life” were completely pointless. Still, I will continue to assess A24 movies because I think there are some more potential Flickuum movies that that company has released. So, with that being said, the 2015 movie “Green Room” will be the next such movie to get a shot, as it stood out to me in a YouTube video about Top A24 movies. However, I’m also getting both “Jennifer’s Body” vibes and “American Satan” vibes about it, and that might be a bad thing, as both movies failed to make The Project. So, in that case, stay tuned.
For nearly 15 years, the oldest movie in The Project has been “Snow White And The Seven Dwarfs”, as I have always thought that that movie [1937] was perfect as the first Flickuum movie from a chronologically-released standpoint. However, due to my want of seeing Robert Eggers’ version of “Nosferatu” again, a movie that is eight years older [1929 United States release] than Disney’s first full-length movie could become the oldest chronologically-released Flickuum movie, as I want to see the movie that paved the way for Robert Eggers’ latest movie. And as to what that movie is, well it’s “Nosferatu: A Symphony Of Horrors”. And should that movie pass its assessment, well then The Project will gain an additional meaning of the roaring ‘20s, as my first meaning about it is the fact that 855 movies have been evaluated this decade.
And finally, the new/upcoming aspect of the roster has had nine more movies added to it, via the combination of me looking up a specific IMDB filmography and watching various YouTube videos. And as to what those nine movies are, well they are 1] Ash, a movie that both puts Eiza Gonzalez in the lead role and is further along than her other movie “In The Grey”, 2] Tron: Ares, which will give continuity to “Tron: Legacy”, 3] High And Low, which will pair Denzel Washington with Jeffrey Wright, 4] Jurassic World: Rebirth, which is an unexpected follow-up to “Jurassic World: Dominion”, 5] Wake Up, Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery, which is the long-anticipated third “Knives Out” movie, 6] The Gorge, which is an intriguing action-romance movie, led by Anya Taylor-Joy, 7] Predator: Badlands, the latest installment in the Predator movie universe, 8] The Monkey, which has me hooked, based on the look of that toy monkey and 9] Wildwood, which is the sixth movie to be released by Laika Animation Studios.
Well, today is the beginning of a new year and what better time than today for new additions to the assessment/re-assessment roster. Yes “Green Room” has question marks, but I won’t know for certain about its Project status until assessing it. So, for all I know, it could emerge as a pleasant surprise like “Night Swim” back in early-August of last year. Oh, and before I wrap this entry up, every movie that is pardon-pending has been added to the roster, because it will take way too long to come up with movies to take their spots on the Movie-Ocrity/Dishonorable Mention page. Especially with foreseeable time going to evaluations and methodically ranking movies in Tier 13.
Until the next time.
