Nowhere

ComedyDramaScience Fiction

Directed by Gregg Araki

In Los Angeles, a colorful assortment of bohemians try to make sense of their intersecting lives. The moody Dark Smith, his bisexual girlfriend, her lesbian lover and their shy gay friend plan on attending the wildest party of the year. But they'll only make it if they can survive the drug trips, suicides, trysts, mutilations and alien abductions that occur as one surreal day unfolds. From TMDB

    We have never been closer to passing a federal film tax incentive and bringing the movie magic back to America. Nowhere will that be felt more than in the backyard of California’s film and television industry, Los Angeles County.

    Nowhere have I said people should avoid this movie. If that’s what you got out of what I wrote — if you even read the piece — then I’m sorry your understanding of the function and purpose of film criticism is so limited.

    Anyone who likes this movie should read Road to Nowhere by Christopher Pike. Yeah, it's 90s YA, but I swear, it's solid. It also involves a road trip from/to hell. #FrightClub

    Book reviewer here. Nowhere in this piece does the author in any fashion discuss the nuts and bolts of the movie. No scenes, no quotes, no details to support his criticisms. Just a pointless rant unrelated to the film. If I submitted something like this it wouldn’t get printed.

    Yesterday's inflight movie: Disclosure Day. Nowhere near Spielberg's best work (could he have been less creative with the look of the aliens?), but Emily Blunt was great. And as a Georgetown grad, I appreciated seeing a little of what seemed a Jesuit contemplation of "are we alone in the universe?"

    #BOTD (1921-2002) George Nader in Nowhere to Go (1958) British #filmnoir Clinical, detached, procedural tone, similar to The Day of the Jackal. Director Seth Holt, co-writer Kenneth Tynan, in the story of a cold blooded criminal, was vastly ahead of its time. (co-stars Maggie Smith in film debut)

The film should have been released exclusively on either HBO or Netflix instead in cinemas internationally. The author fails to think critically and devolved into a Trumpster. 🇺🇸🧑🏻‍🦱🪕✊🏻🤡✍️🚨

    To me, THERE'S NOWHERE NEAR ENOUGH URGENCY in making these films, etc. Folks making revelatory films need to get them TO THE PUBLIC faster. It's not about making a film for profit. It's about making the corruption PLAIN, so that the public cannot look at the admin without recognizing it.

    Nowhere and the film plays out like a standard RomCom. Hell tbe ending almost says something, but bitches out at the last second. The main characters are about to fuck as the sun rises on the next day and instead of just going for it, they instead go "well let's not break the law and wait a year"

    Hereditary, the well known horror movie that somewhat famously has an ending that to a lot of people felt from out of nowhere and plays “Both Sides Now.” Transit is a modern reframing of a Jewish WWII refugee story where much of the film is spent idly, nervously waiting has “Road to Nowhere.”

    One of my grapes about modern literature these days has been that everyone is making a book or comic book so that I can get options into a TV show or movie. No one wants to write a piece of literature to just be a piece of literature. Nowhere is that more apparent than Marvel company crossovers.

    Today's spooky season film rewatch is Friday the 13th (2009). Nowhere near as good as the original but an entertaining watch in the 2000s slasher genre. I tried to watch the new Crystal Lake series. I gave up in the middle of episode three. It was soooo slow. A shame as Linda Cardellini was great.
