Trainwreck. Judd Apatow. 2015.
The Amy Schumer show is funny. This film isn’t.
I haven’t seen any of the other Judd Apatow films. My impression is that they are going for cringe humour, but this one just isn’t that cringe-worthy. Instead it’s just slow.
It’s like a very, very, very long partially improvised HBO sitcom.
Me am disappoint.
And perhaps my hatred of Bill Hader is showing here, but this is how the die rolled:

Death for a Unicorn. Riccardo Bernasconi and Francesca Reverdito. 2013.
Geez. This short is only available on Amazon Prime? So I had to hook up my Ipod Touch again to the rest of my system, and then spend half an hour re-routing the HDMI through splitters and capture devices to do this blog post…
Everything is so much easier when it’s on DVD or PirateBay.
But I can totes VPN to the US so that Amazon thinks I’m in the US so that I can watch stuff. Hah!
Anyway, this is a short narrated by Tilda Swinton. The text is mostly in end rhymes, so to get
… races back home /
… stay in that catacomb
Which is… OK? I guess?
It’s a cute little movie, but I’m not quite sure what it’s about. But I was somewhat preoccupied with the technical bits just to be able to watch it, so I may have been a bit stressed.

The Zero Theorem. Terry Gilliam. 2013.
The start made me go “Yes! Gilliam! Yay!” Unfortunately, the last four hours of the film is so dreary. It’s looks so cheap, and nothing much happens. Too bad. I think Gilliam really needs a huge budget to shine.
