It’s #springBreak! I was invited to a celebratory pau hana (after work gathering) for helping with campus accreditation. And a classmate is visiting from Kauai, so I was invited to another pau hana. I still gotta work my full time job. I’m thankful people invite me out. When it rains it pours. I had also wanted to see #Mickey17 + #Novocaine but probably can’t with these dinners. Lately, I want to quit the PhD so I can have more free time... i am presenting at a conference in April. #phdlife

Bong Joon-ho's latest dystopian film, which feels like its reaching theaters about four years too late — or early, depending on your point of view, offers a brutal metaphor for societal inequality. japantimes.co.jp/culture/2025/ #culture #film #mickey17 #bongjoonho

The Japan Times · The sci-fi satire 'Mickey 17' might be a classic — somedayBy Mark Leydorf

★★ out of 5

So MICKEY 17.... what can I say.

It's STARSHIP TROOPERS meets GROUNDHOG DAY, but it's not as funny or interesting as either of those films. And the tone of "dark humor" and "farce," like with DON'T LOOK UP, gets old fast. Oh, and it's too long.

Other than that, not worth seeing for $14 in a cinema.

Other than that, well, I got nothing.

Before you see #Mickey17, pleeeease read @edashtonwriting.bsky.social wonderful novel, Mickey 7.

I'm halfway through his new novel The Fourth Consort and, fuck me, it's brilliant.

His writing reminds me of Vonnegut, Kage Baker, Justina Robson, MR Carey, Joe Haldeman, his prose has that poetry.

War in #Mickey17: Dass dieser Film überhaupt produziert worden ist, ist die vielleicht noch größere Obskurität als seine Handlung. Die Raumfahrtgeschichte ist keine echte Komödie, auf keinen Fall ein Actionfilm, relativ viel Drama und dabei doch zu viel Komödie. Schwer, den Film irgendwie in Kategorien zu zwingen. Fühlte sich oft wie ein Genrestoff an, der es Ende der 90er ins Kino geschafft hätte, so à la Being John Malkovich.
Mutig, so was wieder zu wagen.

Le he dado 4 estrellas, pero no porque sea buena, sino porque el personaje de Mickey se te queda grabado bastante tiempo. Es lo único realmente bueno que tiene esta película: las reflexiones del protagonista y su excelentísima interpretación por parte de Robert Pattinson. El resto no es más que unos cuantos personajes exagerados, subtramas que ni aportan ni llegan a ningún sitio y metraje de relleno.
Una pena, porque la historia daba para un guion mucho más interesante.

Maybe I was expecting philosophical dilemmas and world-building akin to the Blade Runner films, but MICKEY 17 still provided a strong narrative that delivers the usual Bong Joon-ho themes. It might not be mind-blowing, but it's still entertaining, bold, and hilarious. #mickey17

Alors, je sors de voir #Mickey17, et j'ai bien aimé. Quelques faiblesses de temps à autres, certes, mais j'en retiens surtout des moments... biologiques... enthousiastes qui s'imbriquent à d'autres plus subtils voire à l'occasion profonds.

Bien que tiré d'un roman, j'ai eu le sentiment d'une (bonne) adaptation d'une (bonne) nouvelle, qui ne fait pas dans l'intello mais qui n'oublie pas de faire réfléchir. Un très bon moment, donc.

Mais bon, je savais pouvoir faire confiance à @Laird_Fumble 🙂

If I had a nickel for every time I saw a scifi movie set in a frigid environment, rife with themes of class struggle, featuring a well known actor who has appeared in the Marvel Cinematic Universe wearing prosthetic teeth to play a cartoonishly over the top villian, and directed by Bong Joon Ho, I would have two nickels. Which isn't a lot but it's odd that it should happen twice.

#Mickey17, the new sci-fi movie from Oscar-winning director Bong Joon Ho, starts with the silly premise that you can 3D print copies of "expendable" space travelers. But it's a teachable moment for researchers looking into ways to modify the human body for living more comfortably on other worlds. We delve into that topic on the #FictionScience podcast. cosmiclog.com/2025/03/08/how-h #Space #Entertainment #Movies #Science #Genetics #3dprinting
