Reminder! Dark Comedy Twitch Stream Today at Noon! (Patreon)
Content
We're showing my favorite Bruce Willis performance of all time is in Zemeckis' dark comedy DEATH BECOMES HER. And a bunch of other dark comedies that fit the tone of that movie...
The stream starts today at NOON Pacific time. And can be watched at www.twitch.tv/filmcrithulk
To the lineup!
Noon - Pre-roll...
1210pm - Palm Beach Story (1942) - I love Preston Sturges and everything you need to know about this one is that the original title of the film was "Is Marriage Necessary?" I think they should have kept that one.
140pm - A New Leaf - An Elaine May movie that she disowned, but it's actually pretty damn great. If you need to be sold on the premise, sweet droopy dog Walter Matthau plays a rich guy whose run out of money and has to find a rich lady to marry and, you know, murder them to keep it.
320pm - Heathers - "What is your damage, Heather?" The cult classic I was raised on that I always like watching with people who haven't seen it because it reminds me how deranged this 80's satire really is... get ready for Winona, huge shoulder pads, and blood!
505pm - Sorry to Bother You - The newest entry on the list, but I just love Boots Riley's anti-capitalist comic screed with every fiber of my being. But really, it's about A LOT of things. And damn funny, too. Can't wait for first timers.
7pm - Death Becomes Her - The reason for the season. Get ready to watch Bruce Willis, Meryl Streep, and Goldie Hawn have a blast in this tremendously weird film that also scared Streep away from VFX driven movies forever!
845pm - Burn After Reading - The quietly scathing Coen Brothers movie that best sums up the "intelligence" behind the Iraq War. No, this is not a war film. It's kind of about two gym trainers. And a sex pillow. And a CD with secret shit. Or something.
1020 pm - After Hours - Let's get late-night stir-crazy with Martin Scorsese's ultimate ode to pre-Guiliani New York City. All hail the great Griffin Dunne!
Midnight - Secret Screening #1 - Hint: 80's weird.
140am - Secret Screening #2 - Hint: 90's weird.
Can't wait.
