What Makes X-Men so Gay? - by #MattBaume on #YouTube
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZhtkT0IeavA
> From the earliest issues, the X-men #comics used subtle subtext to comment on the way #society treats #outcasts. But when it came time to make a #movie in the early 2000s, filmmakers set a seemingly impossible goal — to make a direct comparison to gay rights, to tell a story about what happens when the #government targets #minorities, and to ask the question: In the face of #bigotry, is it better to respond with compromise, like Professor X? Or with violence, like Magneto? This is the story of the original X-Men films, the twenty-year struggle to make them, and why they are so very gay.

Rated Before the Devil Knows You're Dead 7/10
First time viewing despite the fact I bought this on DVD from the Virgin Megastore in Sheffield circa 2009. It stayed wrapped in plastic until I lost the DVD in one of my subsequent 5/6 house moves.
Sidney Lumet’s last film is good but not great. I’d set my mood up for something more heist-y, and I don’t think the flashing back to 1/2/3/4 days before that one heist adds to anything. It’s undeniably greatly acted and the elements come together nicely as the two brothers succumb to pressure - just on another day I’d have rated it more.

Rated From Here to Eternity 10/10
I mean, sure, this is a flawless, perfect piece of cinema, but what if instead of Clift and Lancaster you had Josh Hartley and Ben Affleck?

Rated Bad Karaoke 6/10
Finally, a decent karaoke horror film! As a karaoke enthusiast, Bad Karaoke is anything but.
Bad Karaoke, straight from its premiere at Tubi FrightFest, hits both high and low notes, but, ultimately, offers a fun watching (and, at times, listening) experience.
The high note is that the storyline is clever. A possessed karaoke machine judges its singers. If they pass, they live. If they do meet the machine's expectations, they have to choose between three options for how they will die. It's messy (gore-wise), but the following reactions (if any) from the characters who witness their deaths were too mellow for what happens throughout. That's where the notes fall flat.
Overall, this was a great directorial debut for both Robert J. Steinmiller Jr. and Chris Lightbody. The script needs a bit of improvement, but the settings let the story flow, and the music wasn't bad as well. Let's say it was Do-Re-Me-Fantastic!
Bonus: This is me at live band karaoke.
Film Setup: I was looking for a pitch-perfect (viewing-wise) setup to watch Bad Karaoke with, and settled with LG OLED TV's filmmaker mode for a great viewing experience.
