WATCH AI WEIWEI: NEVER SORRY ON NETFLIX STREAMING
Sometimes it feels like some documentaries have a pretty sweet head start, based on their subject matter. It’s not unfair, but you can only do wrong by your subject. We have, in our heads, an idea of how awesome your movie is going to be based on what it’s about, and you can’t let us down. Ai Weiwei: Never Sorry has an incredibly promising premise, and doesn’t miss a single mark. Ai Weiwei is an artist (interesting) who uses his art to, literally and figuratively, give the middle finger (interesting) to his home country China (interesting), only to be thrown in jail for his actions (interesting). The jail part is only a tailor made third act, the rest of the movie details how and why a large, quiet Asian man would attempt to start a revolution. The only shitty part is that after you watch it, you’re going to have to recommend it to your friends by saying “I Weewee.†Worth it. Barely. – RH
STOP RUINING WILLY WONKA
Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory is one of my top five musicals. Stop posting terrible things over pictures of the movie, or “meme†for the savvy. I didn’t know that’s what they were called, or how they were pronounced. I understand that the first time you saw a Willy Wonka meme, you combined your love for the movie, the look on his face, and the partially witty remark that some high school sophomore wrote; it could be described as clever. I thought it was, until day two, when I saw five more. This thing spreads faster than a zombie plague and has worse effects. By day three, you can’t google “Willy Wonka meme†without your computer blowing up. Case and point! – TA
