"There’s something in the dust… our chocolate dust chai latte blew in just in time for “HOLD YOUR BREATH” a new horror from Searchlight Pictures premiering on HULU this October 3rd." Don't choke on this one. You usually don't sell a drink based on dust.

-Examines the global impact and lasting influence of the science fiction subgenre cyberpunk on cinema culture. Featuring near-future scenarios set in worlds that resemble our own, cyberpunk films juxtapose technological advances with social upheaval, ecological crisis, and urban decay. Central to these stories are outcasts and rebellious characters who fight against corrupt political systems, technology gone haywire, global mega-corporations, and colonialism.

October 4, 2024 -December 14, 2024
Billy Wilder Theater

"Science Fiction Against the Margins showcases filmmakers who occupy the “margins” of mainstream cinema in order to challenge and subvert the science fiction genre. Hollywood’s ubiquitous sci-fi story structure functions within the conventions of action-driven melodrama, resolving social issues in private, emotional and moral terms that reinforce the status quo. This series offers an alternative body of media wherein a speculative mode of thinking outside familiar expectations of narrative resolution opens up representations of race and ethnicity, gender politics and cultural identity. While the focus is on the feature film as a global form of mass entertainment, the series also includes documentaries, shorts, video art and television episodes."

The Jackbox Survey Scramble

 

 

Didn't see this one coming! The Jackbox Survey Scramble is headed to us all at the end of October.

Just played a fun full game of The Naughty Pack, making one of my more prudish friends leave, so... it's kind of funny a more family friendly game is ready to be played.

This is a new survey based game given the Jackbox polish to make it both entertaining and weird. We can't wait to play.

Here's more from the press release:

In this all-new party game experience, players are challenged to think outside of the box to guess what the survey says! Taking real surveys from real people around the globe, The Jackbox Survey Scramble is constantly changing based on answers submitted from players. Play with friends, family, coworkers, and enemies to see how they think when it comes to questions like, “In one word, what’s the cutest nickname for butts?” or “In one word, what’s the best sandwich topping?”

Full in-game features from The Jackbox Survey Scramble can be found below, including 4 varied game modes, personalized game options and more. Additional game modes will be added to the game in a free update before the end of the year!

Key In-Game Features + Modes:

    Personalized Experience: Customize your game with content filters, streamer settings, or accessibility options.

    Endless Replayability: Each guess submitted is sent to a database and inputted back into the game as an answer, so each time you play will be an updated experience.

  

  A Game For Everyone: Family-friendly settings mean that there’s something to enjoy for every type of party game player.

    Four Game Modes: Guess the most and least popular answers with Hilo mode, think fast on your toes in rapid fire game rounds with Speed mode, organize choices in popularity order with your team in Squares mode and scale a variety of answers from most-to-least popular with a chance to intercept your opponents answers in Bounce mode.

Survey enthusiasts will have the chance to test drive The Jackbox Survey Scramble early during Steam Next Fest from October 14 - 21 in a free demo featuring the game’s Hilo and Squares modes. Head to the game’s Steam page to download The Jackbox Survey Scramble free demo during Steam Next Fest.

Beyond Fest Already Looking Really Fun

Fantastic Fest 2024: The Spirit of Halloweentown Review: You Need To Finish Making The Doc

Fantastic Fest ends today and I was granted access to the online screener section. I tried watching Chainsaws Were Singing and couldn't get pass the surreal nature of it. I thought it was going to be a horror musical out of Estonia, but it was more like a crude cartoon that had beautiful patches of scenery like In a Violent Nature. Why so much filler? Because, I'd rather see a doc on Chainsaw Were Singing, which took, ten years to make (!?!), then this doc going no where, asking nothing.

The premise from Bradford Thomason & Brett Whitcomb's The Spirit of Halloweentown is what dragged me in. And these two figures, known for their doc, Jasper Mall, about a dying mall  have some recognition or at least recognition from podcasters I listen too. What if a town based its identity partially on a Disney Channel movie? Filmed in St. Helens, Oregon in the 90's, Halloweentown is known to many as campy made-for-TV-movie, an annual tradition probably shown to kids who have their own kids now. Every Halloween month the town transforms back into looking like it did when the movie was filmed there.
What started as a small little pumpkin lighting has become a full on festival lasting multiple weekends.

So, the premise, is great. What's it like to live there and deal with your town turning all kinds of super into Halloween? We meet an odd bunch of locals who all have something riding with it. And, I'd tell you their names if the directors put them in the documentary. Also, we ditch them in such an order that I'm not sure why they were put in or whose story was meant to be told.
 
So, first problem, I'm not sure who anyone is, their was no title or name given to them on screen. These characters are memorable, but you still need those little words clarifying their names and what they do. If their name is spoken or said, it goes by too fast to remember. 
 
Second problem, we ditch a lot of them for unequal amounts of time, one man who runs or owns haunted houses throughout the town is dropped by the end. I'm not sure he's name or what is he's actual profession. We have a woman who is against the town having Halloween whose very Christian, but she's barely in the film. Thought she was going to be an antagonist, but not really. The only real conflict is an amazing problem on Yelp fit for a sitcom. It's like Office, Park & Rec level petty.

The funniest bit is how the new owner of a local restaurant/bar gets angry over someone who privately emailed him that a burger was under cooked. He emails the customer back very rudely. This becomes town news. This story goes on for so long and it's so dumb, but might have been my favorite part of a movie about the people who live in this town. I'm not giving it justice here, the movie should have chosen to maybe just focus on that at a certain point.

Also, this new owner is gay and brings a drag show to the small town, to which the movie posits no one has a problem with. The only problem, he acted slightly rude to a customer.

There's a former cheerleader who has a squad of high schoolers doing a zombie performance who had daddy issues and a Queen of Halloweentown who host contests and a ghost hunter team, but all of them fall short in having a conflict or fascinating story to the doc crew. Or better yet, the doc crew making fascinating.

It's weird there's no real meet-up of the main characters, even if it were to be spurred by the doc directors in the end as they all live in a small town and that might of be a fun ending. Like, where's everyone on Halloween Night or during the main event.

It's hard to pull what the two directors wanted a viewer to get out of this if anything and makes it seem unfinished.

There's a scene where the "ghost hunters" go to the hotel above the bar/restaurant, but the owner who we've met before in the doc doesn't interact with them at all?

One of the ghost hunters is married or a friend to the Queen of Halloweentown hostess, possibly? I'm just unsure, because the movie is bad at informing you of people's names and relations.

I could only recommend if the movie actually chose one person to follow and did actually try to tie the others to that person in some way.

Great premise, bad for Halloween viewing or even accompanying after watching the original movie. More on the broomstick factory though, please.
