So remember at the end of my Invite writeup when I said I was going to watch every single adaptation of this play that exists? Yeah, welp, so now, a project of mine for the next month is well underway. Well, I started doing the homework, and it turns out the assignment is way bigger than I thought it was. I figured there were maybe seven(?) versions of this thing floating around the world. There might actually be closer […]

Granted, generally they are more mindjobby than hilarious. More mind-fucks than intense life dramas. But still, I love a fantastically scripted closed box flick. Take for example the movie The Humans. That is 100% in this same veing… well, until it isn’t of course. Or 10×10, or Hippopotamus? Or or or or… Faults anyone? Hell! Or Tape?!? Or for the love of all that is good and holy?? Sanctuary? Huh? What about Sanctuary? Or […]

And before that — if you somehow haven’t already — go watch Kane Parsons’ original Backrooms YouTube series from the beginning. Not a recap video, not a “best moments” compilation. The actual thing, on his channel. The feature is a genuinely great expansion of what he built, but it’s built on top of that nine-minute short and everything he […]

Not a re-release. Not a director’s cut with a few extra beats sprinkled through. Fifteen minutes added on to the end of the film… post-credits… that Kane built himself, in Blender, in the exact aesthetic of the original YouTube series. I’ve been able to confirm that it was in fact Kane, solo, just like how he created […]

I thought we were done. The movie came out, it made a genuinely absurd amount of money, I already told you what I thought of it, and I figured that was that. Then A24 decided “that was that” wasn’t good enough. Starting July 3, Backrooms is heading back into theaters under a new name — Backrooms: Everything Must Go Edition — with somewhere between 15 and 16 minutes of brand […]

Please, for the love of all that is good and holy, just break the stereotypical Hollywood archetypal, and over used, mold. Well, today I discovered a movie that is so different, so weird, so original as to maybe collapse in under its own weight? Let me try to describe the experience of watching Buffet Infinity, because it’s unlike almost anything else you’ll […]
