Sadly ignored by the Oscars, I give you this comedic gem. If you haven’t seen “The Death of Stalin”, from the acidic snarkmaster that brought us Veep Armando Iannucci, you need to. The sassy Jason Isaacs as Field Marshal Zhukov is especially enjoyable. #thedeathofstalin #movies #film #comedy #armandoiannucci #deathofstalin #favoritefilms #2018films #jasonisaacs #stevebuscemi #moviequotes #lol #cocochanel https://www.instagram.com/p/BuZwmhKAlaG/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=w88coecfu6o5

Best and Worst of 2018 (So Far)

1. Death of Stalin - Smart comedy 

2. American Animals - Perfect millennial story

3. Ready Player One - Perfect 21st Centery hero story

4. Won’t You be My Neighbor - Why are people so mean to eachother?

5. A Quiet Place - Creepy this hasn’t been done before 

1. Avengers IW - Should have just made a full Thanos movie 

2. Hereditary - Sloppy and Slow

3. Equalizer 2 - This movie has two second acts to establish what we already know, he’s a sensitive guy. Painful to watch. 

4. Oceans 8 - Cue people walking to jazz with handshake handoffs 

5. Tully - Insert Shyamalan-ian hook at end here.

Mostly Daily Graphic Novel, May 7th: Fabian Nury’s DEATH OF STALIN is the latest and most popular of the writer’s forays into historical fiction. A scholar of WWII and the Cold War this book digs deep into the vicious conspiracies and paranoid state of affairs during the late part of Stalin’s reign. As the cover would indicate, the book has recently been made into a feature film, but you should definitely read the book first! #fabiannury #stevebuscemi #deathofstalin #thierryrobin #titancomics (at Worlds Collide) https://www.instagram.com/p/BxN5ne4A8ot/?igshid=6c9hvuz9b2qb

That self-stabbing yesterday was weird, because I barely felt it. I wasn’t expecting any blood (I’ve had more yelp-worthy injections that have resulted in no blood whatsoever), which is why the most perfect drip landed right between the legs of one of my little people. Sometimes, I leave blood in my work. But this was so circular, and so impeccably placed that it looked contrived. I was listening to Armando Iannucci talking about The Death of Stalin a while back. He said they had to leave some bits out of the film because they were way too funny for anyone to believe. Even though they were true. This was a similar thing. That blood was flawlessly shaped, positioned and coloured. So I removed it. Squeezed a blob of 27yo travel-wash on, leaving just the faintest trace that only I and you know about. I like that. Meanwhile, if you want to follow someone in Moscow, you can’t go wrong with @kjspompey10_vinylly . Gave me great pleasure seeing his square omelette and cauliflower breakfast. Don’t know why. Have a good day. #itmightbecominghome #engcro #handstitching #armandoiannucci #deathofstalin

(Perpetual note: Mini Review: 250 characters or less because I’m lazy and I like Twitter. Shark Wrighter (SW) Score: based on rankings on a scale of 1 to 10 for 5 key components in a movie) . . . The Death of Stalin: 6 acting,6 story,5 directing, N/A special effects,6 editing. SW SCORE: 23. Special: nothing. Ianucci’s previous works (In the Loop, VEEP) bristled with vicious, funny dialogue.

  therealjasonisaacs / #DeathofStalin Q&A no 593 in LA with the certifiable @rupertfriend and the x-rated #ArmandoIannucci. Delirious and jetlagged after assaulting audiences on both coasts. Sorry if we repeated ourselves. More to come apparently, so sprint for the exit if you see me lurking and don't want to hear how comedy sausages are made (spoiler: it's all eyelids and anii). Sorry if we repeated ourselves. #DeadDictatorsMakeMeLaugh
