Perhaps I’m reading too much into it, but

For this Special Thursday Cinema Night, first up is Christiane F. (1981), a German teen drama about a teenage girl who starts clubbing in Berlin in the 70s, and begins a romance with a handsome, charming guy. That would all be fine and good, except that she also gets into heroin on the side. I’m sure this will go well. Apparently, this movie is one of the most commonly-shown films in German schools, which makes me curious. Generally compared to stuff like Trainspotting (1996) and Requiem for a Dream (2000). This is the best-known and best-regarded work of director Uli Edel.

After that is Four Lions (2010), a British satirical comedy about a quartet of jihadists who plot an attack against the West, only to be pulled apart by their conflicting ideologies, particularly in the conflict between their fundamentalist understanding of Islam and their consumerist mindset toward Western pop culture. Apparently right-wingers didn’t like this film because it “glorifies terrorists”, which is a better endorsement than the reviews, which are great. This is the only notable feature film to date of director Chris Morris, who has otherwise been active in TV and radio.

We’ll start at 8PM EST on Blorptube, right here:

For this Wednesday Super Slop Night, first up is 13 Assassins (2010), an Edo-period samurai action film from the master of gore himself, Takashi Miike, whose Ichi the Killer (2001) and The Happiness of the Katakuris (2005) we have previous watched. It is a remake the 1963 film of the same name, which we have not watched, and unlike most remakes, the reviews are better than those of the original. In 1844, a bunch of samurai decide to band together to kill an evil lord who has his eye on the shogun’s position; dudes will to have to rock to keep him from attaining even more power. A whole lot of stabbing and bloodshed ensue. Great reviews for this, so let’s give it a whirl.

After that is Freaky Friday (2003), a remake of the 1976 Disney family comedy of the same name. Jamie Lee Curtis and Lindsay Lohan star as a mom and daughter who wake up one morning to find themselves inhabiting each other’s bodies. Hilarity ensues as they try to fill each other’s roles, and each gains a deeper understanding of the other’s struggles. Director Mark Waters is best-known for Mean Girls (2004), though this film is well-regarded, too. This movie is really popular on Letterboxd.

Note that you need a Hexbear account to use Blorptube. You may wish to use a VPN as well. Also, don't use a cartoon from the 1980s as medical advice, not that I was expecting you to.

Also, if you use an anime tracker like Anilist or MAL: Once Upon a Time... Life is listed in a number of anime databases due to being a Japanese co-production.

• https://myanimelist.net/anime/3624/Seimei_no_Kagaku__Micro_Patrol
• https://anilist.co/anime/3624/Once-Upon-a-Time-Life/

What are we watching?

Episode titles: "The Cell Planet" — "Birth" — "The Body's Sentinels" — "The Bone Marrow" — "The Blood"

Series description: Once Upon a Time... Life teaches about the human body and its various systems using the same characters from the other Once Upon a Time... seasons. The "good guys" (such as Pierrot and Mercedes from Space) represent the cells of the body's defense mechanisms, and the "bad guys" (including the "red-nose guys" as one of our regulars calls them) represent the viruses and bacteria.

We'll be watching the English dub, which this time around has pretty decent audio mixing.

Content warnings

I did rewatch a few episodes of this show a few years ago and honestly don't really remember anything particularly offensive. I'll just say that this show's got body shit, so if you've got like trypophobia or don't like looking at landscapes made of cartoon human flesh, then this show might be a problem for you. Also, a child gets infected with tetanus at one point, but ends up OK; a character dies of old age at some point I believe; there is some nudity in the opening; the immune system is presented as cops; the birth episode tells the "great sperm race" narrative and might trigger gender dysphoria for some people depending on how well you can handle other things related to gestation and birth.

All in all, though, this show is really the most innocuous Once Upon a Time... series, and I think that's really a big part of why it's had so much staying power compared to the other OUAT shows. Like I don't think this show's gonna have robot drapetomania like Space nor preach the Bible as fact like Man.

...But hey, Life is a sequel to those shows, so be prepared for That Sort of Thing. France in the '80s stuff. Weirdness around race and class. I don't remember any of that stuff in this show, no, but I'm prepared to be proven wrong.

JB: One of the interesting things, I think it's his second movie, he shot it on Grenada. And the stipulation, the reason Grenada allowed him to shoot there -- it was like a James Bond type movie and it had a Russian communist femme fatale villain-- and the only reason they let him shoot there is if he rewrote it so she was the hero of the film. So he did that and then while they were there making the movie, Grenada got invaded by the US. So he just starts filming like the helicopters and the tanks and he just filmed it and put it in the movie. It's just in the film.

MS: Shooting the rodeo...

JB: Shooting the rodeo!

Sinners behind the scenes shows how movie makeup turned the characters into vampires. Special effects artist Mike Fontaine doesn’t just apply makeup. He sculpts emotion, story and shock into every detail.

Posting here so other people might catch it before it's gone but I don't know what timezones do to schedules

Anyway,

Loved it, awesome movie. A great scenescape of 80's New York as well and I love the snappy and playful editing, Alan Ruck and the main actor playing Ferris are perfect but everyone really does a great job here. Instant recommend if you want a teenage comedy that's competently made and doesn't make fun of you while watching it

Also love that Deadpool stole/references the end credit, such a lovely thing
