#192, or #842, leaving now to go see 2022's "Men."
People always express some doubt when I say I might have a dash of face-blindness but when I first saw it I genuinely didn't realise all the men in the trailer for 2022's "Men" were Rory Kinnear, so.
🚹 🚹 🚹 "Men" (2022)
It's all very-- Jessie Buckley continues to be one of the Great Actors, obviously, the imagery is great and striking even when I've seen it before, but I wish it had more to /say/ than "society sure gives men quite a lot of space to be rubbish, doesn't it" / "what if men but too much."
📖 "To Olivia" (2021)
Presumably these real people really were just awful to each other in these ways, but what's the point the film is trying to make? It's just quite a lot of needless marital cruelty and abuse for no particular reason, with no particular, like, thesis statement, nothing to say.
Is the point meant to be that it's all worth it because we got "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory" out of it? Fucking miserable.
@Alexis It made it especially hard to watch The Americans. Orphan Black was also a ... different experience for me.
@naga@weirder.earth @Alexis@beepboop.one I'm not sure if it made The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus easier or harder
@naga@weirder.earth @Alexis@beepboop.one (The gimmick of that movie being that the same character is played by several different actors... whom I couldn't visually distinguish for most of the movie. I remember it being a very confusing movie, but I'm not sure if that's because or in spite of the facial recognition woes.)
@skysailor @naga I do sort of acclimatise to it over the course of a longer-running show, but just last night, "Vertigo," the Kim Novak in the first half and the Kim Novak in the second could have been played by completely separate actors
I genuinely can't tell what's supposed to be different about Mark Hamill's face between "A New Hope" and "Empire." And people insist Doc Brown does actually look different when he pulls the make-up off his face -- I thought the joke was he looked the same!
@Alexis @skysailor @naga He does look the same, I don't know what those people are on about.
I didn't notice much difference in Mark Hammil's face either; I think his nice and right cheekbone are supposed to be different? That's what was damaged during the accident and he had to have surgery for. If I didn't know I wouldn't notice and just guess maybe time and a tiny bit of weight loss as the cause if someone said he looked different but not why.
@kurt @skysailor @naga If I'd noticed on my own I might have said it was just age, a young actor's boyish features settling into place.
@kurt @skysailor @naga With Hamill at least I can see it in clear comparison pictures from the same angle, similar lighting, etc, but the Doc Brown thing, I don't see it at all.
@Alexis @skysailor @naga Are you sure the people who say that aren't joke blind?
@kurt @skysailor @naga Look, that's. A very real possibility. On /this/ internet? Yeah, definitely.
@Alexis @jeezus@heaven.god?
@kurt heaven dot god defederated from this movie millennia ago
@Alexis Aah, TM stands for The Movie.
@Alexis Ooh, yeah, that movie, boy it's been a long time since I saw that one.
@kurt I suppose you'd say it's a real blast from the, how do you say, a period of time from before now.
@Alexis A Blast From the What Was't
@kurt That's it, that's the common phrase people say all the time.
💥 "Blast from the Past" (1999)
@Alexis "It's like cricket but less complicated."
💥 "Blast from the Past" (1999)
@kurt "So, more complicated than golf, but less complicated than cricket. And where does polo, water or otherwise fit in?"
"...I forgot about polo, let me start over."
💥 "Blast from the Past" (1999)
@Alexis
That one is a LOT of fun!
@Alexis I love it. I never made that connection before about and now I'm mad at myself. They are so similar.
@Llamacalamity They're very different circumstances, but they're both young weirdoes coming out of unfortunate bunker situations and having to navigate a complicated modern world.

@Alexis Damnit, Daily, you just have to sit there what's the big deal!?

@kurt If we get caught I'm telling the cops you kidnapped me and threatened to sell me to the cartel.
