Not surprised "What if Asteroid City was charmless and hated people" is failing to be a barn burner at the box office.

And in an absurdly stacked cast where everybody is scene stealing, I was particularly tickled by Maya Hawke's schoolteacher who is trying not to emotionally disintegrate under the situation.

Asteroid City (2023). A strange southwestern town experiences an alien visitation. I run more cold than hot on Anderson now but I was really charmed by this. Imagine if Chuck Jones and Thorton Wilder collaborated on a rewrite of Close Encounters.

I'm in the habit of going on Archive and other places to peruse scanned magazines and I'm gonna post stuff I find now and then. Mostly when they're ads that are just incredible
vintage magazine ad for an RCA television

on the television is an image of an old sailing vessel listing at sea due to foul weather and waves

two dogs are watching it, and, so enrapt, they are tilting at the same angle as the ship

ad text: "Watching a ship on a stormy sea on the RCA Home Theatre is like being there without getting drenched or feeling seasick. Our new Optimum Contrast Screen gives you blacker blacks and more brilliant whites for a picture so clear and bright, you can almost feel the waves crashing around you. See the Home Theatre" at an RCA dealer: And go sailing without ever leaving your house. Changing Entertainment. Again. RC"

THE WARRIORS is a real moviemaker's movie: it has in visual terms the kind of impact that "Rock Around the Clock" did behind the titles of BLACKBOARD JUNGLE. THE WARRIORS is like visual rock. (1979)

Sometimes a movie directed by a woman does badly not because of misogyny, but because it fucking sucks. Seriously, the right to be human is the right to make work that sometimes blows. Come on people.

While we're here, I'd like to give some flowers to Jane Seymour in Frankenstein: The True Story (1973). Showing that a femme fatale Bride can work, provided you're interested in telling a Frankenstein story and not letting a performer gobble down scenery like hot mozzerella sticks.

Ah, but I love Frankenhooker! It's every bit the cheeky, bad taste riff on the novel, that also gets at the book's core ideas much better than many faithful adaptions, that The Bride! is flailing at with all the grace of a child yelling a naughty word at mummy's cocktail party to shock the guests.
