The Fish Jelly guys (i.er., self-described “gay homosexuals Nick and Joseph“) are my new favorite film reviewing duo, largely because their reviews seem to spoil plot points. Or they have, at least, in their review of Steven Soderbergh’s The Christophers, which HE will be seeing on Tuesday.
Unlike the HE whiner brigade, I love spoilers because a film plot isn’t the thing — it’s how the plot is conveyed that matters. I love watching a film fully armed with a plot rundown — that way I can concentrate on the film artistry…the mise-en-scene stuff.
No offense but Michaela Cole, Ian McKellen‘s costar in the film, has funny-looking alien eyes. It’s like they were created by Carlo Rimbaldi.
Cole privately identifies, incidentally, as an “aromantic“, a romantic orientation characterized by experiencing little to no romantic attraction.
