Starting our countdown to Halloween! Today is #7: Spooky Song, starring Chance the Rapper and a myriad of his ghostly friends as they sing about their (not at all embarrassing) deaths.
what are your top five favourite movies of all time (and why?) 💘
again this is so hard cuz i don't watch movies but ill try my best to answer.
5. sleep away camp; literally the definition of 80s campy horror it's what ahs 1984 wishes it could be
4. scott pilgrim vs the world; ultimate comfort movie!! ive read all the comics and have a scott pilgrim action figure also besides this fact its a good movie i like how i can recognize a bunch of the places DONT GET ME STARTED ON THE SOUNDTRACK i love all the bands so much and because the majority of them are canadian i have like some weird connection to them (my fave thing to brag abt is how my mom went to highschool with the drummer of broken social scene and they were like CLOSE friends like not just acquaintances)
3. brigsby bear; another comfort movie- i used to be a diehard snl fan but i was like SPECIFICALLY obsessed with kyle mooney (still love him) and also this movie is so like sweet and like perfect example of the offbeat humour + heartwarming ending combo im convinced that kyle's just ahead of his time and that this will totally be a cult classic one day.
2. kill me now; another movie with kyle mooney- im a giant nerd when it comes to improv and sketch comedy (don't get me started on the podcasts omfg) so when i found out that all of good neighbor was in this movie i had to watch. another example of campy horror although it's very 2012 type humour so i think a lot of ppl think it's like stupid but whatever ill defend it till the day i die its free on youtube go watch
1. excision (2008); literally another film from youtube that i've seen too many times to count. this is a short film (which is great considering i have horrible adhd) but it was turned into a full length feature in like 2013 i think. the full length one is also very good; it features traci lords AND john waters as a minister 💀 so again it has kind of a kitschy vibe to it but not as much as the others. the original is a lot more on the serious side. it's totally perfect if u have mommy issues the last scene always makes me cry (you'll also like it if ur mentally ill or maybe just have a blood kink)
sorry idk why i wrote a whole essay. also honourable mention is the movie 'slaxx' that was absolutely wild.
Look, I'm not gonna lie, I thought this would be wilder and funnier. I just feel like the movie doesn't know if it wants to be a raunchy comedy or a feel-good, heartfelt one, and it struggles when it comes to handling both tones. It's certainly not a bad film, but I kept thinking it could be much better. Tbh, Jennifer Lawrence and Andrew Barth Feldman are the main reason why it's watchable. They pull off both the comedic stuff and the dramatic content, and they do it with ease. Anyway, I think a movie with such a salacious plot should be less forgettable.
also snl livebloggers some other things about Le Mass Exodus of cast members leaving tonight
- cecily revealed on conan's podcast that she decides in the summer after each season (she also did this last year if any1 remembers)
- che had a back and forth w the star tribune (!!) and the nytimes over him leaving. he revealed everything and nothing at the same time. literally chances are 50/50 but probably no goodbye sketch (unless the twitter stats people who went to dress are lying)
- if che leaves, jost probs also leaves as an update anchor. probably unlikely that he does stick around but he was there for cecily's anchor era so again, 50/50 chance.
- kenan is probs still staying (and slaying)
- no mass writer's exodus as far as anyone knows. streeter is staying while mikey is still on. celeste yim/pdd/dan buella combo is probably still going strong so who knows???
