Here at Art Infliction, we run into the rare instances of having so many blog entries to the point that we run out of pages that can house any blog entry, with the week of May 18, 2020 through May 24, 2020 being such a week.
However, we always think of ways to showcase content that needs to be showcased. Especially in specific situations, such as when Artist Vs. (Con) Artists: Part 2 needed to be showcased on May 23, 2020 or when Heard Might Not Be The Word needed to be showcased on October 7, 2020.
And now you can add October 10, 2025 to that category, as Steve Kaycee blogs about his decision to assess the rest of the “Evil Dead” franchise.
You can read about it via the entry below.
**Note: The following content has both controversial and adult wording. Discretion is advised
“Flickasbord, Volume 192”
Given how mentally drained that I felt after writing most of Volume 191, I contemplated choosing movies to assess in an impromptu kind of way. However, I need(ed) the structure of blogging, as that part of my repertoire is a staple of constant Art Infliction content flow, especially when I have already amassed yet another batch of additions/re-additions to the assessment/re-assessment roster.
Let’s begin.
First up, not too long after both adding “Evil Dead Rise” and re-adding “Army Of Darkness” to the roster, I came to the realization that franchise connectivity was needed for those two movies being assessed/re-assessed, so I have decided to add the other three franchise installments to the aforementioned roster. Yes, I’m a stickler for both franchise connectivity and franchise continuity, i.e. the “Harry Potter” franchise, while also not applying those rules to the James Bond franchise. But with something like “Army Of Darkness”, I need to see the beginning of the Ash Williams story arc instead of watching that movie for solely big-name movie hunting. Plus, it does help that the fourth installment continues his story arc, which in turn could give a complete feel to the 1993 movie.
Next up, new/upcoming theatrical releases never cease to stop jumping out at me, as A] The trailer for “Kiss Of The Spider Woman” gave off an “In The Heights” vibrancy, while B] I softened my stance on “Marty Supreme” after seeing its trailer 15 days ago, and C] The Miles Teller and Elizabeth Olsen co-led movie “Eternity” reminds me of a live-action version of the 2020 movie “Soul” a.k.a. evaluation 787. Yes, it looks like my 2025 theatrical tour could have more outings, although the timing will be tight in how to incorporate them. Stay tuned.
What’s a Flickasbord entry without pardons and/or exemptions, as this time around, a lucky seven each gives at least one reason about why they should all follow “The Smashing Machine” into the group of now 2,518 overall guaranteed Flickuum movies. And of course, you can find the movies and their reasons via the chart below:
| Movie | Why it’s getting another chance |
| Plunkett & Macleane (Pardon) | It has a somewhat cliffhanger ending just like “Blue Collar”, the latter of which won’t high-point over the 1999 movie, and was placed back on the roster well before this entry was even planned. |
| 100% Wolf (Pardon) | It has a sequel, with Samara Weaving reprising her voice of Betty. |
| Girl Meets Boy (Pardon) | This might be Anna Pheil’s best and possibly only shot at Flickuum lore. |
| Snow White And The Huntsman (Pardon) | Kristen Stewart wouldn’t have been my first choice as Snow White in this movie, but I can’t fathom having it outside of The Project, while having Blake Lively as Lily Bloom via “It Ends With Us” in The Project. |
| The Huntsman: Winter’s War (Pardon) | This movie abandons the Snow White component, but more than makes up for that with the trio of Jessica Chastain, Charlize Theron and Emily Blunt. |
| Howards End (Exemption) | Because movies of its ilk are either guaranteed or up for assessment/re-assessment, this one is just way too much of a powerhouse to endlessly languish in Tier 13. |
| Jem And The Holograms (Exemption) | This movie has a vibe similar to “Rockumentary”, which is a Saved By The Bell episode. Plus, the appearance of Eiza Gonzalez at the end is totally worthy of a re-assessment. |
Last minute roster additions being written into existence are occasional, as I like to have all of my Flickasbord content mapped out before such entries are written. But since I brought up “100% Wolf” having a sequel in the previous paragraph, I decided to both include that sequel (200% Wolf) in this entry and add it to the roster instead of saving it for a likely Volume 193. Yes, that’s the type of pull that Samara Weaving has in this Project, especially since “Chevalier” has made me see her in a much more evolved light. Now let’s see if the pardon for that movie’s predecessor will eventually be worth it or not.
And finally, Madeline Petsch is all of a sudden getting more name recognition via “The Strangers” movies, two of which are on the roster. However, this paragraph isn’t about either of those movies nor the upcoming threequel. Instead, it’s about a romcom in which she’s number one on the call sheet, entitled “Maintenance Required”. Of course, she’s yet another actress, whom falls under the category of “no such thing as too many of her movies in The Project”. However, the Prime-released movie is a change of pace for her, and one that makes it a very intriguing addition to a continuously-loaded roster. Now let’s see which of her movies becomes her second overall guaranteed Flickuum movie, following “F The Prom”.
Well, thus far this week, five of the six movies that I have assessed/re-assessed up to this point are either languishing in Tier 12, languishing in Tier 13 or languishing on the Garbage Claim page. But given renewed excitement for “A Day In The Life” and the confidence that I have in what else is accessible to me, I have a feeling that successful assessments/re-assessments will come in bunches between now and the afternoon of this upcoming Wednesday.
Until the next time.
