Mystery Men by Kinka Usher.
This movie is a combination of a lot of things that I like:
An underdog story, gaudy superheroes, creative sets/visuals/costumes, and some of the funniest actors of our era. Loosely based on Bob Burden's Flaming Carrot Comics, Mystery Men takes place in a world where not only are superheroes for reals, but there are way too many of them, putting some of the superheroes with the lamest powers on the Z-list.
The main thing I don't like about this film is the ending. Throughout the movie, none of the Mystery Men's powers work quite right. Then suddenly, at the end, everything just works for no good reason. That's lazy writing. What should have happened was the heroes should've figured out a way to turn their weaknesses into strengths. Instead, their powers just work out of the blue, "THE END."
Still, I really like the production value and this movie has some of my favorite fanboy jokes. Also, I find Mr. Furious relatable from time to time...
Fun Fact:
Humans have been astral planing a LOT longer than we thought.
Researchers analyzed hair strands from a burial site in Menorca and detected scopolamine, ephedrine and atropine. Atropine and scopolamine are naturally occurring substances in the nightshade plant family that cause hallucinations and altered sensory perception, while ephedrine is a stimulant taken from certain shrubs and pines that boosts excitement and physical activity. Before this discovery, we'd only found indirect evidence of psychedelic use in ancient cultures. The cave that the analyzed hair strands were taken from was first occupied around 1600 BCE and featured a chamber that was used as a funeral space until around 800 BCE. It's estimated that 210 individuals were laid to rest here, but only certain people had their hair dyed red, placed in containers and sealed in a chamber further back in the cave. We don't know what made these individuals so special that their hair had to be preserved but we are certain that a major psychedelic discovery was just made in Spain.
A scene from Studio Ghibli's most timeless, underrated masterpiece....
It's worth mentioning that Miyazaki has a personal affinity with pigs. He often draws himself as a pig and even created a whole film starring a man turned pig, "Porco Rosso" (I love it. The end.).
Fun Fact:
Bad news everyone. If you've seen a ghost recently, then there's a chance you have black mold poisoning. At least that's the theory that scientists at Clarkson University started studying in 2015.
Their hypothesis was that experiencing paranormal phenomenon at older homes could actually result from the presence of black mold, which is known to cause hallucinations, delusions, anxiety, depression and the feeling of impending doom. Rye ergot fungus is one culprit they're paying special attention to, because it can have a psychedelic effect when ingested and some even think that ergot growing on crops may have been what created the delusions and mass hysteria during the Salem Witch Trials.
Is black mold poisoning better or worse than being haunted?
