I have been meaning to get back to this series for a while and what better opportunity than randomly finding a collection of The Toxic Avenger (parts 1 through 4) randomly on sale.
Since when is Miles Teller a bigger star then Elizabeth Olsen? Like, really? Who thinks this way? Is there anyone, besides his immediate family, that would go out to see a Miles Teller movie? They are definitely implying that by having Miles Teller over Elizabeth Olsen in the credits. Anyhow…
So, the problem here is that I have not decided whether I like this or not. In general, it’s a positive sign that I saw this couple days ago and I still feel like I need to write about it, but at the same time, I’m not thinking about the message of the movie, I’m thinking about the filmmaking.
I was just wondering this. How common is it to see all the movies from a specific director? Of course, if you a scholar, why not, but what if you are just a fan? Even if you love Passion of Jean D’Arc, Gertrud and Vampyr, would you go out of your way to see all of Dreyer’s earlier movies?
First of all, I’m not saying it’s because of wokeness or anything like that. It’s because people got bored with their product.
It’s hard to make a comedy out of a movie that starts with a husband slapping his wife just because, but it works.
As usual, as a caveat, I’ll start with a list of movies I wish I had the opportunity to see, but haven’t yet.
There’s a fun little website called SteamDB. Now, since you need to volunteer your data to them to use the website, I’m not advocating for it. Use it at your own peril. However, I did and it did give me interesting information.

Yes, the name of the movie is ‘MIS?’. No, as of this writing, it’s not on IMDb or LetterBoxd. That must be a big oversight by the distributor or production company and someone should do something about that. I like to check movies before I see them. The only reason I decided to see this was that it’s by an independent company. I like to see those out of interest. Sometimes quite morbid interest.
