Not much snark to go here so we’ll get right into the film. We’re going old school this time with Daredevil[2003]. Yes, one of the first Marvel movies before their studio was purchased by the house of mouse. And it’s over twenty years old at this point. Tuck your shirt into your highwaisted pants and let’s go to the buffet, old folks.
It’s an origin story for Daredevil with the future Bat-Fleck playing the blind lawyer. It’s also a longer film clocking in at over two hours. Why? Because fuck you and your bladder. This is before the two hour mark was the norm thanks to all the empty multiplexes that want to keep you pinned so you’ll buy drinks and snacks in bulk. Because films should be like a journey through the desert and require provisions.
Tim then has The Ambulance(1990). It’s a horror movie about an Ambulance. The idea being that ambulances picking up people is common in the city and take people who knows where. So what if they took them to an evil doctor who cured their diabetes and killed them? Lucky for one girl, a comic book artist witnesses her disappearance and his boner guides him on an investigation.
Weltall has The Last Castle[2001]. Robert Redford is a general and he’s under a court martial. It also features James Gandolfini wearing glasses which makes him look like a bookish version of Tony Soprano. Once in jail, Redford ends up leading an uprising against the corrupt warden. Also, we eventually find out why Robert Redford is in prison.
