Hundreds of Beavers (2024)
Basically a "silent" film in the vein of slapstick Loney Tunes-esque nonsense. Except it has a coherent, albeit quite silly, plot.
In independent film and the most madcap and creative I have seen in a long time.
I've seen the style compared to lofi music, a very simple aesthetic. It sets your expectations accordingly. Its well done in its own unique style.
Come for the story of Jean Kayak and his wilderness adventures.
We watched the big short for the 4th or so time and I wanted to see what other movies were directed by Adam McKay.
So we watched vice which is about dick Cheney and Donald Rumsfeld and I knew how corrupt those fuckers we’re but damn that movie did a great job of breaking down some of the shady shot that went on with the bush presidency. Highly recommend but if you’re like me you are so repulsed by that time period that it’s hard to give it a shot.
If you liked the big short then you will like vice.
