Watched Nerve (2016). Amazing considering it came out in 2016 but it feels very what life is like now. It's also very pretty and very techno futuristic vibes. I don't know. It feels very relevent to how life is like now.
Dave Franco also looked hot in it. Lowkey celeb crush.
She's facing criminal charges.
Before people react, consider this...
Max a single mother of one.
She's clearly going through some shit in her life.
Xanax and alcohol don't mix.
She should own this shit, and use it to drive her career into overdrive with the right people. (Not you, Bangbros...)
This could launch her career into maximum overdrive, if sold properly. Here, she's hoping for a Maxim cover. She should be building her story about how she got here, as a romantic comedy.
Here's my pitch, @maxmcintyrehaiku, you heard it here first:
A wedding photographer, former model and Miss State, raising a single daughter, with anxiety over aging and life choices, is trying to regain her former life and all the attention it brings. When one day, her depression anxiety gets the best of her, and inadvertently causes a black out drunken scene at a wedding she's documenting.
Cue mugshot flash. Snap to drunken squad car event. Cue next mugshot. Flash to drunken arrest. Cue slammer door closing in front of her, and the image of her daughter, a sense of having finally hit emotional rock bottom... when a snarky voice from behind asks what she's in for.
She says she was arrested after having public intoxicated sex, urinating on a tree, and resisting arrest at a wedding. In truth, she doesn't know what happened. It feels like it wasn't even her at all!
The laughter of a cackle retorts, "Oh, sweet! This is going to be a fun one!"
Max turns, confused, realizing she was the only one in the cell when she entered. Before her, bouncing and giggling, is a waifish, Iranian bedazzled pixie goth girl looking at her. Cocking an eyebrow, Max asks flatly, "And you are?"
"Ahura Mazda. I'm fixing what my sister is breaking. That'd be you."
With a flare of golden fire behind her eyes, Ahura vanishes. And a wild story begins about twin Zoroaster deities fighting over control, and one woman caught in their ancient struggle between chaos and wisdom, like a doll in a tug of war.
A zany, modern comedic twist on the likes of "Desperately Seeking Susan" and "Oh God! You Devil!"
Meet Cute (2022). Yes. So tightly written and made me feel things. Another one for Kaley Cuoco's post Big Bang experimental emotional chapter (Also The Flight Attendant and Based On A True Story). If you liked Palm Springs (2020), check it out. Ugh, the emotions. and the writing.
A new genre of weird rom com I don't think has been fully explored or defined yet. Just messy depressed disempowered milleniuls finding one another. (CW Suicidal Ideation)
Wedding Season (Netflix Film)
A fun romcom that I rewatch every couple months since I found it last year. I don't have the life experience to talk about the greater issues mentioned in the film so I won't make any comment on it.
The interpersonal relationships banter and conflicts felt like the romcoms I enjoyed from the 90s-00s. I felt like it didn't try too hard and was a good balance of comedy-romance-drama that is typical of romcoms from the "golden" age unlike Anyone But You (that one had some good jokes but often fell flat and the conflict seemed more forced)
Anyway, I just think Wedding Season deserves its flowers as a good fun romcom unlike other recent romcoms that I've seen so far.
Someone has to watch the weird movies so weird I can't even find gifs of it on here. So obscure it's a miracle I found it on streaming.
Bite Me (2019) so obscure a film, so dense, using vampirism as metaphor for chronic illness, cute couple, thorny and soft, gives Katniss and Peeta vibes. To me. Does all the things it aims to do well. Diversity, chronic illness, weirdness. Pretty to look at. Definitely the world is not ready. To me, a delightful modern romcom up there with all the other ones. I've got maybe 5 which clear.
Proof this movie exists.
