Here's the pitch...
I can hear the execs being pitched... "Okay guys, just think Game of Thrones meets Little Mermaid meets Titanic meets Platoon... Set in the future but women and girls are still subservient to the patriarchy. Guaranteed to be a blockbuster!"
And where did they get bubblegum? From a vending machine, a 7-11? Do they get paychecks, what's the purchasing process like? Do they have bank accounts? My attention deficit mind wants to know.
In the theater I went to people were sleeping, others were on their phone... And it was almost sold out. I fought to stay awake and did but my friend slept through the entire thing.
I was sure one character who died was going to be saved by the one creature that could give eternal life... Missed opportunities.
Still it was pretty to look at and there were good moments. After seeing everything everywhere all at once, with such a positive message about fighting with love and connection and compassion in a brilliant way, I thought this could have done something similar. I'm just tired of weapons, it's such a weak prop in movies these days.

I love this type of movie... Watch director's cut...
Reminds me of movies I love: Heathers meets Donnie Darko meets Mean Girls meets Clueless meets Napoleon Dynamite. Weird, dark, fun, imaginative, witty, uplifting... In these pandemic days I just needed this... Mwah!
