#BoratSubsequentMoviefilm / #Borat2

He's baaaack…and better/funnier/darker(🤭) than ever!

Can it really have been almost…*15* years since the first one came out? Remember the pop-cultural event that was? I mean, unlike my throughly hip sister who was all in the know about #DaAliGShow, I had little to no(and little left town a long time ago🤣) idea who or what a #Borat was. The commercials were funny, but that movie, my G*d!(as Ma says!), that was something less. Thanks to the sui generis(sorry, been reading a lot of NYT lately😬) #LarryCharles was an event, no? The reaction in the crowd that opening night, before all the memes flooded our brains(there were memes back then, right?), wowwowweewa…sorry couldn't resist🤪!

A *lot* has changed in the intervening years, right?, so it couldn't just be the same-old, same-old this time out, no? TBH was right, as funny and outrageous as the stuff is in the second movie is, there really is an undercurrent of, dareIsay?, maturity?, grown-up-ness?, not-shying-away-er-ness? of tackling some really, really icky stuffy head on?

And, honestly?, it all works this time thanks to Bakalova. Where did she come from? The kid completely steals the show! Her utter commitment to the bit, her deft handling of all the people in the real-life situations, man, talk about courage! Seriously, this one is worthy of an #Oscars(are those still happening🙏?!) nom!

Speaking of noms, can I give one to Jones just for being such a generally awesome human👏?

Man, 15 years go by in the *blink* of an eye, no😐?

PS. Bryan Brother…🤣…SBC's a tennis fan?!

#Voyagers Good, clean #LordOfTheFlies YA poli-sci-fi fun. Expert craftsmanship, especially when you consider the budget for indie-sci-fi's. Beautiful work by the DP(well-lit scenes so you don't have to squint, imagine that?, and those richly saturated colours!), composer(not resorting to easy sci-fi tropes), and esp the drool-worthy production design(that, too, on a budget!). And, to top it all off, expert sound design by Hsu, the hardest-working (sound)man in the indie film biz👏! And the kids?, well, they're certainly all right, highlighted by a terrific villain in Whitehead, kid's a keeper. - - - #NeilBurger #PaulHsu #ScottChambliss #EnriqueChediak #TrevorGureckis #FionnWhitehead #TyeSheridan #LilyRoseDepp(#VanessaParadis's kid!, boy time moves fast😳!) #ChanteAdams #ViveikKalra(#BlindedByTheLight!) #IsaacHempsteadWright(#GoT!) #ColinFarrell(yes, that CF, be still TBH's beating heart!) @voyagersfilm @lionsgate @neil.burger

The Dog (2014) .

#TBT so how about a #Throwback Movie? 😁 #TheDog (2014) One of those headspinning truth-is-stranger-than-fiction-way-stranger stories that the good documentaries, uh, spin so very well. If "The Dog" weren't a real person, you'd have to make him up! You always hear that tagline, right?, the [blank] was only the beginning…that was never truer here. I mean, yeah, we've all seen #DogDayAfternoon, but there's so much more that happened before..and after😲. Wojtowicz himself is a terrific character, and kudos to the documentarians for digging beneath that charismatic, seemingly-fun surface to hint at the darkness beneath. And, kudos, also, for giving a showcase to his mom, a star in her own right! And how about all that early gay rights activism footage…real eye-opening stuff. An informative, absorbing, entertaining documentary about a quintessential New York character. - - - #AllisonBerg #FrankKeraudren #JohnWojtowicz #TheresaWojtowicz #Sidn

#WolfWalkers Wonderful, just bl**dy wonderful! The kind of intelligent, layered, nervewrack/heartwarm/thoughtprovok-ing, non-1000-gags-per-minute-headache inducing kid's film you don't see too often these days. Let's start with that eye-watering, beautiful, lyrical, artwork (I'm not an art major, but looks like they do lotsa interesting stuff with perspectives🤔?). Every frame is one of those, uh, frame-worthy efforts, inspired by those awesome woodcut-type stuff I used to see at my Aunt's place, contrasting with the magical, mythical forests(like I said, I'm not an art major…TL;DR: it's *beautiful*!). There's a lesson in there for all of us: never let budget, or lack thereof, stand in your way! Speaking of lessons, dude, this film has *all* the allegory(?metaphor? unlike Kornheiser, I wasn't an English major😁) you can handle, especially for a kid's film(actually, all the good ones have some layer of subtext, right?). "Into your
