Source of pic: screenshot with some extra safety Can you believe it, dear worst-reader. My better half finally singed up for one of those streaming services. I mean. We’ve actually tried it before but gave up on it pretty quick. That was back in 2015. Something about there just not being much available that was … Continue reading Look Where

A Most Unentertaining Film
Source of pic: see wiki link below Worst-title 2: How things look while you wait for American Dream death. Worst-title 3: Pseudo-Review of the documentary Nomadland. No. Seriously. Dear worst-reader. Nomadland has to be one of the most bizarre if not surreal movies ever. No. Seriously. I’d even compare it to the ending of 2001 … Continue reading A Most Unentertaining Film
Feindesliebe Or Stockholm Syndrom Or Both?
Source of pic: wiki Worst-title 2: After Nazis and DDR what will be Germany’s third atonement? Oh, it’s so rare, dear worst-reader. So rare that I sit back and watch a German tv-movie. You know. Those movies that have looked, sounded and play-out the same since... Well, since post WW2/Wirtschaftswunder Germany got all whacky with … Continue reading Feindesliebe Or Stockholm Syndrom Or Both?
Overcooked Pasta Ain’t All That Bad
Screenshot from the movie Pig (2021) Worst-title 2: Review of the movie Pig (2021) and SPOILER ALERT! The most profound moment in the entire film is when Robin Feld (Nicolas Cage) tells a former cooking student that he always overcooked the pasta. Now. In this film/story we’re dealing with a somewhat famous albeit now reclusive/austeiger … Continue reading Overcooked Pasta Ain’t All That Bad
Search For Mother
Not sure when this worst-thought first came to worst-moi, dear worst-reader. It’s a recent thought though, within the past year or three I’m sure. This thought has been percolating in a corner of my worst-mind as though it were a distant memory suppressed. It’s certainly been magnified since last summer. Indeed. Last summer is when … Continue reading Search For Mother
How Creativity Dies The Slow Death
Source of pic: screenshot from the interwebnets Worst-writer can remember his first confrontation with a movie sequel. It was Superman. Then came Star Wars. If you don't know, dear worst-reader, I'm worst-writing here from the POV of movies from the 1970s. Soon after that, the 1980s, the movie sequel would become the norm. But then, … Continue reading How Creativity Dies The Slow Death
American Dystopia And The Consumption Of Golf Balls Through Garden Hoses
Same sweater, different film? One is Body Snatchers and the other Animal House. Actresses? Not at all the same. (Sarcasm off.) Alternate worst-title: Back in the day you could play musical cars (as in: musical chairs) at a great drive-in movie. Disclaimer: this worst-post contains spoiler alerts for an old movie and may (or may … Continue reading American Dystopia And The Consumption Of Golf Balls Through Garden Hoses
Salad Days vs Beuys Days

Source: screenshot from the Interwebnets Worst-title #2: Thoughts stirred by Werk Ohne Autor Worst-title #3: Stop old money making all the films so that someone else can have a shot at it. "My salad days, when I was green in judgement…" -Cleopatra, Shakespeare Disclaimer: spoiler alert. This worst-post, like so … Continue reading Salad Days vs Beuys Days
Planet Of The Free To Be Stupid
Pseudo-Review: The Planet Of The Humans Pros: this is a somewhat informative--if you're uninformed--documentary with a well branded name connected to it. Cons: #OKBoomer white men1 who are so bored with life that they somehow find a way to make half-decent documentary movies but what they really need to do is step aside and help … Continue reading Planet Of The Free To Be Stupid
Zombie Virus Or Just A Bad Flu
Pseudo-review: World War Z by Max Brooks Note: To skip all the/my worst-writing, the actual pseudo-review of this book is just a scroll or two or thrice downwards. And now... Not sure if this makes since, dear worst-reader. So I appreciate you indulging me. Here's a worst-writer fact for ya: I was never, ever afraid … Continue reading Zombie Virus Or Just A Bad Flu
October Reading List And Missing Eyewear Nose Bridge
Superfluous post indeed, dear worst-reader. Begs only the question: what to do, what to do, what to do... in this consume-to-survive world of nothingness galore? Then again, at least I can still read. You know, read, as in, read something to expand the/my mind. It is, must be, a requirement in these days of Marvel … Continue reading October Reading List And Missing Eyewear Nose Bridge
Riding Easy
Or Ciao Bella, Peter Fonda Never understood Peter Fonda, dear worst-reader. Although I liked a few of his films, there was always something about him that bugged me. Maybe it was his odd, non-leading man looks--yet he got leading roles. Perhaps it was the hair line that he managed to cover up most of his … Continue reading Riding Easy
Breaking Through The Blockbusters
Not since The Shape Of Water have I been motivated to put up my ray-of-light sensors for more and better movies made for adults, intellects, those who prefer to think rather than have their wits dimmed and numbed by krappy, brain-dead comics come to digital albeit boring life. Yeah, I'm sick of blockbuster movies. Thank … Continue reading Breaking Through The Blockbusters
How Much You Don’t Know Can Hurt You (Deep Inside) Forever
Disclaimer: This is not a pseudo-review of the movie The Butler and there is only one slight spoiler. My son asked me the other week if I had seen the movie The Butler. I told him I had not. When I asked if he'd seen it, to my surprise he said he had and then … Continue reading How Much You Don’t Know Can Hurt You (Deep Inside) Forever
Myth Porn Or How I Learned To Dodge Jizz Bling Bling
As stated here and here, dear worst-reader, I really dig the epic poem Beowulf. Reason? It's a very telling story--and not just about times long past, don't you know. Although difficult to read, especially the latter parts, it is truly a work of art that, once conquered, gives the feeling that one can somehow relate to … Continue reading Myth Porn Or How I Learned To Dodge Jizz Bling Bling
Pseudo-Review: The Film Collossal Or That Thing In My Substance Abuse That Is Serious Childhood Drama
Warning: spoiler alert! This movie is totally worst-explained. Things I wish I could have written? Kafka's The Metamorphosis. Thornton Wilder's The Ides of March. The movie Collossal. Etc., etc. And by-the-buy, I watched Colossal last night via some stupid streaming service and I was pleasantly surprised. On that note, streaming itself isn't stupid but the … Continue reading Pseudo-Review: The Film Collossal Or That Thing In My Substance Abuse That Is Serious Childhood Drama
Pseudo-Review: The Shape Of Water Not Unlike My Desire Of The Her Of All Fish
Returned from The Homeland last Monday. It was a horrible trip. It was horrible because, of the two weeks I was there, after doing some yard work for my Mom, I contracted a pretty bad skin ailment from poison ivy. In fact, as I worst-write this, two weeks after returning, I'm still itching. (But it … Continue reading Pseudo-Review: The Shape Of Water Not Unlike My Desire Of The Her Of All Fish
When All Else Fails Just Put Some Butter On It
Subtitle: Pseudo-Review Of .99€ Movie Rental The Founder Almost didn't make it, dear worst-reader. If it would have come to pass, this would have been the second movie I rented on iTunes but never watched. Luckily I had a few days left when I hit the play button last night. By-the-buy, iTunes (Germany) gives you … Continue reading When All Else Fails Just Put Some Butter On It
Things Are Moving Along Just Fine In The Land Of The Docile Free To Be Stupid
Something to ease the minds of the dumb-downed as another useless evening presents itself in the wake of my beloved and missed #americant dealing with a grand new-fangled tax scam from president smart for the rich and stupid for the rest of you suckers. Also wondering who the college grads are that set up all … Continue reading Things Are Moving Along Just Fine In The Land Of The Docile Free To Be Stupid
Not Much Going On In Sept
You Been Putting Up Your Whole Life
From the movie No Country For Old Men. Well worth the effort to transcribe. Some of the best writing and acting I've ever seen that encapsulates the #americant nightmare that is Disney and/or sparkles blowing out of a unicorn's a$$ or somewhere there's a rational person trying to figure out how your country got so … Continue reading You Been Putting Up Your Whole Life
How Terrible Cinema Can Save The World Or Maybe Not
Finally broke down, dear worst-reader. I splurged the 4,99-€ to rent Snowden last night. Do I regret it? In German the answer is: Jein. It's a cross between ja (yes) and nein (no). I suppose the more significant question is: would I do it again--as in maybe even buy this movie so that I can … Continue reading How Terrible Cinema Can Save The World Or Maybe Not
No Wag To Tail
Beckett the killer pug was taking me for a walk the other day while I listened to a podcast or three. After a few hours of peeing on trees and licking the dew from morning grass and counting the barges that traverse the Rhein, I decided enough was enough and told the old mutt to … Continue reading No Wag To Tail
Humiliation, Glorification And The Magic Of Butter On Your Conscience
You are not a victim of Bertolucci's film making. Or are you? Wait! Let me put that another way: When will the left learn? When will liberal thinking people grasp reality? The pathway to right above wrong is not traversed through political-correctness but through those who don't give a fcuk. But there is a way to get … Continue reading Humiliation, Glorification And The Magic Of Butter On Your Conscience
Chasing Meaninglessness Beyond The Pale Of Wishing Your Bubbles Are Bigger Than Mine
https://vimeo.com/184028703 http://www.chasingbubblesmovie.com/ Warning: major spoiler alert. This is a really cool little documentary. If you can call it a documentary. If you don't call it a documentary then what do you call it? A movie? A film? A TV show? A theatrical trailer for a film that is actually a warning to future generations about the pitfalls of... … Continue reading Chasing Meaninglessness Beyond The Pale Of Wishing Your Bubbles Are Bigger Than Mine
