  3. After seeing The Bride! for the second time, with the two days in between spent on reading and watching all the praise, criticism and vitriol I could find in an attempt to understand the possible reasons for its box office failure, I am happy to say that it's my new favourite movie. And no, I don't feel a need to moderate my opinion by adding that the movie is flawed. Except the iconic splatter at the side of the main character's mouth, I fail to see any substantial blemish on the movie that would justify anything beyond nitpicking. Not that we couldn't have conversations on what could have been done differently.

    This movie never takes itself seriously, yet it is very self-aware. It is the self-proclaimed "disobedient geometry." It throws such rich metaphors and apparently reckless symbolism at the observer. This "post-genre" monsterpunk flick is like few others, a meticulous fever dream.

    Like the recent "Wuthering Heights" and the much older Jacob's Ladder, The Bride! is what we make of it. But while the first is tragic and beautiful, the second frightening and beautiful, The Bride! is all of that but above all romantic, wholeheartedly funny and, most importantly, emancipating. Not in the feminist sense per se, rather in the human sense. It explores what it means to be free, how ravishing and how disastrous that can be, and how genuineness of spirit is incompatible with our own continuity and that of others.

    The director had said that when she was younger, she walked out from the movies permanently changed after seeing Trainspotting. Now, her movie did this to me. I keep crying even after watching it, but not because of melancholy, but because I've acquired something of myself that was legitimately stolen from me many years ago by the zeitgeist.

    And yet the buzzers who talk so much about female directors (namely Maggie Gyllenhaal and Emerald Fennell) finally getting huge budgets reveal themselves as sardonic when they complain that the tours de force those directors made aren't just more cliché-ridden done-things.

    There's so much else to say, so much I want to keep on raving about, from the emotionally piquant dialogues, and the layers upon layers of hurt and reciprocal empowerment, to the tangled characters, the villainous ghost possessor wrought by injustice, the mesmerising soundtrack, and the absolutely extravagant intellectual sexiness of it all... And I'm happy to go on if anyone wants to.

    But The Bride! doesn't deliver a complex story so much as it detonates one inside you. Which made me think about games where the same thing happens, or could happen. Specifically TTRPGs.

  4. After the reviews, I've decided to skip The Bride at the theater because I can't justify the expense.

    Just being aware of, or having some understanding or personal experience with, an issue isn't enough to create a compelling, or even coherent, story.

    Megalopolis, and One Battle After Another (despite the praise by white people), are similar examples.

    Visual confections lacking all substance.

  5. We went and saw "The Bride" last night. It was fantastic. We're still talking about all the symbolism and commentary going on in this movie. Highly, highly recommend.

    If you're on the fence about it, just read all the conservative media vilifying the movie, and that alone should be reason enough to go check it out.

  12. The Bride! was so frickin good. I can't even put it in to words. I can't remember the last time I enjoyed a movie that much. Jessie Buckely was wonderful and the supporting cast was great. Can't wait to see it again.

  17. "The Bride! is ultimately a caper movie with teeth: a joyful escape and an exhortation to own one’s inner nasty woman, or monster." My words on the @[email protected] blog - this movie would make a fun diversion this weekend! #TheBride #Frankenstein www.ucpress.edu/blog-posts/t...

  19. Good weekend! I saw The Bride Friday night and thought it was really fun. Went to drag brunch at Hamburger Mary's in West Hollywood for a friend's birthday on Saturday afternoon and hung out with that big group of people until Saturday night. Then on Sunday I went to a friend's house for his daughter's sixth birthday.

    Tonight I'm going to go watch a buddy play some hockey too! Nice little extra treat for a fun weekend.
