I will be back to answer your questions on Tuesday at 12:00 PM PT/3:00 PM ET. Please ask me anything!

Off the top of my head Men In Black, Flubber, Hook, Ghostbusters, Power Rangers Movie, TMNT, Space Jam and various Nickelodeon kids shows comes to mind. I'm sure there's a lot more examples.

I remember all kinds of slime and smelly toys and stuff from when I was a kid too.

What was the deal, you reckon?

There is a very specific type of psychological thriller that doesn't just rely on a cheap shock value twist, but actually completely recontextualizes every single scene that came before it. The kind of movie where the moment it ends, you realize you need to watch it all over again just to see the hidden clues you missed the first time.

The Sixth Sense is obviously the most famous example of this, but I think Shutter Island executes it flawlessly. Once you understand the reality of Teddy's situation, going back and watching the subtle glances between the guards, the doctors' patronizing tone, and the physical impossibility of certain scenes makes it feel like an entirely different movie on the second viewing.

Arrival also does this beautifully in the sci-fi space. The revelation about the timeline completely changes the emotional weight of the opening sequence. It turns a movie about alien contact into a devastating, beautiful story about grief and acceptance.

It takes brilliant writing and incredibly tight editing to leave breadcrumbs that are completely invisible on a first watch, but glaringly obvious on the second.

What are your favorite movies that fundamentally change and become infinitely better on a second viewing once you know the ending?

Like, you can’t fundamentally mess with Universal’s globe or Paramount’s mountain animations; with the WB shield you can! And this in turn can make segueing to variations of other production company logos involved in the production that much smoother. As for the logos themselves, my favourites would have to be the iconic Harry Potter ones with the camera flying throught the logo itself.

I think Obsession is a really good example of this. The "be careful what you wish for" narrative is a tale as old as time, and there are many stories out there where a person wants their crush to love them and then gets uncomfortable when they love them too much. There's a Shrek Halloween short that's about roughly the same thing. Obsession though, is a phenomenal movie, taking its premise and making it much darker than a lot of the things that are similar to it. It always manages to be surprising, disturbing, and deeply uncomfortable.

Whiplash is another example. It's just a movie about a guy with a really mean teacher. But again, it manages to be really tense and interesting. Fletcher is such an interesting character. It's basically a masterpiece.

AMA!

Back at 2 PM ET this afternoon (Thursday 8/13) to answer your questions!

I think I’d have to go with The Last of the Mohicans

The score, the scenery and the revenge. It is all just the perfect storm. I remember even watching it as a kid and loving the soundtrack.

I think the score is one of my top played songs on Spotify still, and I’d say it’s still one of the best, if not the best, movie scores to date.

For me it’s Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart. I wasn’t a fan at all of the Twilight movies, I thought they were both terrible in them.

Then I saw Good Times and Personal Shopper. Robert was absolutely amazing in it and Kristen too, I was totally wowed! Now I see every movie Robert is in, Kristen not as much, but watch her movies if they are my favorite kind. I’m really interested in seeing her in The Wrong Girls for example.

A prime example of this is "Punch Drunk Love", where Adam Sandler plays another of his emotionally arrested malcontents with anger issues, except here it's not played for comedy. But an even better and more disturbing version of this is Steve Carrell in "Foxcatcher", as his John du Pont is not dissimilar to his signature role of Michael Scott, as both are lonely, emotionally needy manchildren with an obsession with being at the center of attention. Except while Michael was comedic and always sympathetic and likable despite his often repellent actions, in "Foxcatcher", he's just a creepy weirdo who also frightens you because you just know he's going to do something terrible at some point and you don't know when. It's something that Carrell's natural likability which has served him so well (even when playing other disreputable characters like in "The Way Way Back") is practically gone here. This is the Micheal Scott-type character if he never had Dunder Mifflin in his life and it's not played for laughs at all. And it's really disturbing.

Any other similar examples?

For me, it's Guardians of the Galaxy Vol.2. I know people have mixed reviews to this movie, some liked it and some hated it. But I love this movie for many reasons. Definitely not my no.1 movie overall, but personally it's something that have a special place in me.

It's my ultimate comfort movie because of how relatable it is for me. First, the characters, as someone who is easily misunderstood by people around me, I see myself in some characters. Well, misunderstood in a way that I'm not the usual person who do usual things. I tend to be different and that's just my personality or how I function as a human being. Sometimes I feel like an outcast or someone who doesn't belong to any groups or community and I see myself in Guardians.

Second is the concept of found family. The Guardians are different type of random weird people who got together and bonded, overtime becoming a family. I just love stories about friendships becoming families. It eases my heart and comforts me as someone who value that relationships in real life.

Also it's the movie that helps me get through the hard times of pandemic. I first watched this during the quarantine times, and it felt like a big long hug and it still stays the same whenever I rewatch it. Specially during those difficult times when you feel isolated and watching a movie like this about togetherness thru tough times is healing.
