At the start of the era of talking pictures, a group of minions want to make a monster movie. For this, they need a monster and they end up accidentally summoning a shoggoth.
This one is an absolute hoot. It is Pierre Coffin & Brian Lynches homage both to silent era Hollywood and 1950s creature features, with a guest appearance of Goomi's take on Lovecraft (of the Unspeakable Vault of Doom). It is chock full of references. Yet, contrary to meme based humour, these references aren't the jokes in themselves. The gags work in themselves, the references just add a layer (for instance the two monsters from Mountains of Madness are called Howard and Phillips)
For the rest it is non-stop minions slapstick action. Contrary to most contemporary movies, it doesn't stop to provide An Uplifting Moment, or Spell Out A Message. Not that it doesn't contain commentary, it doesn't let it get in the way of the action.
Highly recommended, especially for film buffs
Thnaks for that Dr., I wasn't looking forward to this based on the trailer (and the fact that I've never seen another Minions movie) but now I look forward to checking it out.

Good Movies / Re: Recent Viewings, Part 2
Last post by M.10rda - July 05, 2026, 07:56:35 AMIn truth there isn't much "Winged Serpent" onscreen in Q, but there is some, which is more than there is "Feathered Serpent" in THE FEATHERED SERPENT (1947). Michael Moriarty is a real contender for greatest actor of the 70s-90s. His work in movies like BANG THE DRUM SLOWLY and on the first few seasons of "Law & Order" was incredible. I guess he was hard to work with though (maybe in similar ways to Chevy Chase) and clearly had alcohol and.or other substance abuse issues and maybe mental health issues in this century. (He's still alive but he hasn't worked in years.) Larry Cohen was the only director who seemed to tolerate Moriarty's antics in perpetuity. I think Q was their first of several collaborations and Moriarty did get rave reviews for his performance, including from Roger Ebert. Honestly I think Moriarty is usually wingin' it in Cohen movies but it's still superior acting to that seen in most horror flicks.

I didn't think his first few films were that bad. I saw some later ones though that were pretty rough.
