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 March 23, 2025 to that category, as Steve Kaycee blogs about his continued quest to find a live-action of Diane Guerrero’s for The Flickuum Project.
You can read about it via the entry below.
**Note: The following content has some controversial wording. Discretion is advised
“Flickasbord, Volume 148”
Two Flickasbord entries away from volume 150, thus three more such entries to buy time for the big announcement that will come four days from now. And yes, another Flickasbord entry in which more potential depth pieces for The Project have been found for the assessment/re-assessment roster.
Let’s begin.
First up, I don’t normally go for movies that look like an hour-plus episode of a bad Saturday morning, which was I initially thought of “Night Of The Zoopocalypse”. And yes, David Harbour is the only name actor who lent his voice to the nearly three-week old movie. But both the mere presence of Harbour, who has proven to be a bit of a late bloomer as an actor, and the high Rotten Tomatoes score lead me to believe that there could be something there with that movie, thus a movie that I mentally discarded during my theatrical assessment of “Hitpig!’ has become the latest 2023 and younger movie to join the roster.
Yesterday afternoon into last night, I doubled down on Diane Guerrero movies, in hopes that one or both of them would follow “The French Connection” into The Project. However, one (Blood Brothers: Civil War) isn’t protected in Tier 13, while the other one (My Man Is A Loser) was officially eliminated from Flickuum contention last night. But I remain committed to getting a live-action movie that features the Colombian-American actress into The Project, and I’ve doubled down yet again via adding her movies “Blast Beat” and “Emoticon ;)” to the roster. Maybe this double down will be the complete opposite of what I experienced yesterday. Stay tuned.
And finally, I always feel uneasy about both saying and typing racially-charged movie titles because such titles themselves feel morally wrong to me. But at the same time, there are times that I have to cite these titles as a content creator, whether it’s about deciding to completely boycott a certain movie, or take a flier on a certain movie via that certain movie itself looking like a potential surprise Flickuum movie. And of course, with that being said, I chose the latter, as the Janelle Monae-led movie “Antebellum” jumped out at me when I saw the trailer of it sometime during 2020 a.k.a. the COVID year. Yes, I’m putting it on the roster and it might be my most controversial roster addition to date, from the mere standpoint of a title. And sometime between now and New Year’s Day 2027, I will do deep dive into why this movie got its title via the assessment. And should it pass its assessment, then it won’t be a written movie until its Flickuum evaluation has been completed. Stay tuned.
Well, the numbers change day-to-day, with four additions to the roster, two additions (Little Giants is the other) to the Tier 5 Selection Pool and two movies (War On Everyone is the other) going to the Movie-Ocrity/Dishonorable Mention page. But the Flickuum-worthy movies have been few and far between since this most recent March 8, as only six (Dune, Mickey 17, Novocaine, Black Bag, Ash, The French Connection) have been the only assessments/re-assessments to emerge as quality depth pieces for The Project. But with “Scarecrow” and “Sacudete Las Penas” ready to get assessed/re-assessed any day now, the amount of quality depth pieces will very likely increase.
Until the next time.
