Cap and Bean comment on the new releases for the weekend the only way they know how: with little to no actual research and after only briefly looking at the posters.
by FILMGRAPHS STAFF ON SEPTEMBER 19, 2014
The Maze Runner
CAP: Well, there
is a maze and there are indeed people running. No one can accuse this poster of
being misleading.
BEAN: “Get ready
to run, kids!” “When, sir?” “I dunno. Soon?”
CAP: Run all you want, kid from Teen Wolf. You'll never the escape the invariable young-adult fiction theme of identity!
A Walk Among the Tombstones
BEAN: What are
you afraid of, Cap? Death? Heights? Clowns? Guess what. THOSE ARE ALL THE WRONG
THINGS!
CAP: Well, the
poster has it spot on. I am afraid of
Liam Neeson showing up to a funeral I’m attending, shooting me with a pistol,
and presumably putting my severed head in a bag.
BEAN: I’m afraid
of a world where all the stars of action movies are over the age of 60 OH
WAIT THAT’S THIS WORLD MY LIFE IS AN UNCEASING NIGHTMARE!
This Is Where I Leave You
CAP: Have you
ever heard of the “Seven Dwarves Theory”, where it’s impossible to remember the
names of more than seven characters in a movie much less have them be properly
developed? Well, this movie has eight characters and ten credited actors on the bloody poster alone!
BEAN: And the
running time is apparently 103 minutes, which means each of these integral
parts will have about 10 minutes each to flesh out their entire life story.
What is this, my weekly speed dating seminar?
CAP: And like
your sad speed dating, it’ll likely be just as awkward and unsuccessful.
Tracks
CAP: That dude is
in everything and is everywhere. New York. Tattooine. New York. This desert Mia
Wasikowska is in. New York. The poster right before this one. Toronto for some
reason. Everywhere! Adam Driver is Watching You! Especially if you live in New
York!
BEAN: One lady
and her dog need four baggage camels? Well, I guess women be shoppin’, amirite
men?
CAP: “Leave
Everything Behind" except for whatever you can pack on four camels, which may be up to 2400 pounds.
BEAN: That’s at
least the weight of all my worldly possessions, including my sweet 1981 Toyota Corolla.
