They Called Him Mostly Harmless (2024)
A fascinating doc, but you need to know what you're getting
As a fan of various YouTube mystery and crime channels, I recall the tale of Mostly Harmless popping up from time to time. Eventually it was "solved" but the strange, sad and lonely tale retained its interest. If you'd like to hear more about that, I recommend checking out channels on YouTube like Scary Mysteries or Barely Sociable.
What THIS particular documentary represents is the story around the mystery. It's about the toxic and fannish world of True Crime aficionados, the infighting, the clashes, the betrayals and the often sad lives of the people behind the reddit accounts. Yes, the story of Mostly. Harmless is explored, but it's on the periphery.
If you go in knowing what you're getting, that this is as much or more about the amateur forum posters attempting to solve the mystery and give a name to the enigmatic hiker, then you're in for a very fascinating documentary.
But if you're already familiar with the case and looking for a break down or, worse, just looking for a proper investigative mystery, then you will probably come away disappointed and feeling a bit cheated.
Thunder Force (2021)
Don't listen to the whiny dudes
This movie is funny, family-friendly and a unique take on superhero tropes. Reminded me a bit of Sky High. The humor is great and plays nicely off the lead actress's personalities.
It's not surprising that if a movie features multiple female leads, the red pill weirdos come out of the woodwork to dogpile low ratings. If you don't want to watch, stick to hentai and Ben Shapiro YouTube videos.
Dragged Across Concrete (2018)
Almost unbelievably terrible.
I loved Bone Tomahawk and Brawl in Cell Block 99 and I was pretty excited to see what the director had in store this time. I sat and I waited. And waited. And waited. When it got to the part where Mel Gibson's insufferable character complains how unfair it is to be accused of racism just because he's a racist as hell I shut it off. This movie is a disaster and everyone involved should scrub this mess from their resume.
