I kinda had a loose head cannon about mickey 18. The film very briefly touches on the metaphysical ramifications of duplicates. Mickey 18 is significantly more aggressive and amoral than 17. Meanwhile 1-17 are very consistent. In my mind 18 either had no or only a small portion of a soul as 17 wasnt dead to release it to him.

I watched it last month and it was essentially "Moon" with all of the beauty, sincerity and existential terror removed from it.
The only part that made me think "Now that's actually clever" was the reasoning/plot behind making simultaneous cloning illegal but even that tried to be a bit too cute.

2/4

It's like when Alexander Payne made "Downsizing".
I'm not angry, I'm just disappointed.

"Saltburn" was bad. Very bad. Too bad to rate.

When he started lapping up the spunkbath I knew it was another exercise in stating the boring. Stating the obvious is one thing but please spare me the pathetic attempts at being obscene. That's nursery level transgression.

It's like when you see respectable people trying drugs for the first time or getting hammered and smoking cigarettes.

Who are they trying to impress

"Das Boot" - 3.5/4

I like boats but submarines terrify me. This is one of the films that was made at the right time. Today you'd see it ruined with CGI everywhere but with the practical effects of the eighties you can see real fear in the eyes of the actors when water starts gushing in.

It was made by Wolfgang Petersen and it was so long that he could have actually named it "The Neverending Story" instead.

Really good for the first three quarters then everything falls apart as soon as the doors open for the big fight.

SPOILER: show
They're out numbered like 50 to 10 and they have few lethal weapons but somehow last forever.

No one considers the sun. They're fn vampires and it catches ALL OF THEM off guard.

All the vampires would have died regardless if Preacher Boy gets bit or not.

Bunch of racists randomly show up in the morning and one guy takes 15-20 of them out by himself.

The mid credit stinger only worsens things. So, vampires make deals that are binding or one of them suddenly developed a sense of honor when making a promise? What have the two leftover vampires been doing this whole time? Not rebuilding a vampire cult? Why show up now?

Why did Preacher Boy go all the way back home? To do what? Then he leaves anyway.


You can try to explain those away or say not to care too much but those don't do it for me. All in all pretty forgettable when it could have been a near classic.
