“Our time will come” This movie is a dream and speaks to the part of me that still listens to my old man’s jukebox records

As usual, Carax needs to calm down with the manic-depressiveness, but that Bastille Day sequence needs to be seen on the big screen.

Schlocky but endearing. I was looking up different Mountain Dew flavors and maybe this movie is Hard Mountain Dew Variety Pack 12oz?

Baffling. By cosplaying hip hop, Vanilla Ice becomes a corny alternative to American(read: white) heteronormativity, to the point where whatever hip hop influences he adopted is barely recognizable as actual hip hop culture. The afterschool-special stylings of the film further enhances this deburring of any edge that Ice has and makes him a more Vanilla totem of free-spirited values for the female lead to hang onto as an escape from a more conservative mode of life.  Somehow, this movie came out the same year as Ice Cube’s “Death Certificate”.
