Movies watched in 2024

Monolith (2022, Australia)

Director: Matt Vesely

Writer: Lucy Campbell

Mini-review:

Monolith is pretty different from what I expected, but it's still a solid, low-budget sci-fi offering. The central mystery kept me hooked, even if it didn't give me any easy answers, and Lily Sullivan's committed performance elevates the material and carries the movie when it threatens to buckle under its own weight. It also tries to touch on some social issues here and there, but it never ventures too far into that direction, choosing to focus instead on the main character's descent into obsession. It won't enter my favorite sci-fi movies list, but it definitely helped me pass the time.

Movie: Monolith

Some movies set out with a big goal and a big story they want to tell in a big way. And of those movies, some succeed in reaching their goal and some don't quite fill the shoes they've claimed they can.

Monolith was kind of a smaller story with a smaller goal, but it fulfilled it. I think the ending could have been more but hey, I enjoyed the journey there and the ending fit.

6/10

my white trash upbringing where the dentists were always trying to drill your teeth for extra cash and all the good ol boys are telling you watch out for those doctors they’ll fuck you over you need to do what feels right in your gut mixed with my college learnin’s where i roll up to the obgyn going “actually though did you read the 2022 publication from Arab et al on pubmed re: c section fasting times on maternal outcomes cause they really turn out to show unless in rare really poor outcomes eating and drinking beforehand within 6-2 hours helps and that’s not counting how in 2016 the American society of anesthesiologists official outlines listed that 6-8 hours for food and 2 for clear liquids is perfectly fine as opposed to a full midnight on fasting, especially in regards to drinking clear liquids” is the kinda attitude the doctors really dont like

Monolith (2022)

Check out my review of MONOLITH (2022)!

I saw Monolith at the 2022 Adelaide Film Festival and loved it! It is a brilliant low-budget Australian sci-fi thriller that Lucy Campbell wrote and Matt Vesely directed. Lily Sullivan plays a disgraced journalist in the movie who looks into the mysterious “monolith” in an effort to salvage her career. While the film’s historical and cultural context is not explicitly stated, it is set in a world…

Fear not, everyone, I am here today with an exhaustive* spotter's guide to that bunch of masked lunatics we like to refer to as 'Char clones' in the Gundam fandom. Because people are always getting into this monolith of the mecha anime canon and I thought it would save some confusion.

Row 1, left to right:

Char Aznable (Mobile Suit Gundam, 1979): hey, it's that guy!

Quattro Bajeena (Mobile Suit Zeta Gundam, 1985): it's that guy, again, supposedly

Free space (Mobile Suit Gundam ZZ, 1986): ZZ omits masked lunatics to make room for all the unmasked lunatics

Iron Mask (Mobile Suit Gundam F91, 1991): evil uncle stepfather dad cut-price Darth Vader

Cronicle Asher (Mobile Suit Victory Gundam, 1993): some guy who is not really trying with this whole 'mysterious masked man' thing

Schwarz Bruder (Mobile Fighter G Gundam, 1994): just your average German ninja sportsman guy (honest)

Row 2, left to right:

Zechs Merquise (New Mobile Report Gundam Wing, 1995): a totally new guy with very familiar fashion-sense

Jamil Neate (After War Gundam X, 1996): ersatz guy, but not the one you think

Harry Ord (Turn A Gundam, 1999): what a guy!

Rau Le Cruset (Mobile Suit Gundam SEED, 2002): not that guy

Neo Roanoke (Mobile Suit Gundam SEED Destiny, 2004): also not that guy, or that guy

Graham Aker (Mobile Suit Gundam 00, 2007): This guy...

Row 3, left to right:

Full Frontal (behave yourselves; Mobile Suit Gundam Unicorn, 2010): not that guy either, probably, maybe, perhaps

Zeheart Galette (Mobile Suit Gundam AGE, 2011): a guy named after baked goods

Luin Lee (Gundam Reconguista in G, 2014): 'Captain Mask'

McGillis Fareed (Mobile Suit Gundam IRON-BLOODED ORPHANS, 2015): a guy who is way too into this

Vidar (Mobile Suit Gundam IRON-BLOODED ORPHANS, 2016): say, Iron-Blooded Orphans, how come mom lets you have two guys in masks?

Prospera Mercury (Mobile Suit Gundam the Witch from Mercury, 2022): mom
