DEATH OF ANALOG: Fire & Ice, short cut 3/4
A high-concept take on 30s-ish skiing. High on what is up to debate, but we did actually feed methamphetamine to babies that grew up in that era. This is followed by our protagonists journey through the midwest, which led to a joke in a local diner that was likely discarded from such as Airplane; involving two Japanese men in a fist-fight argument over Pearl Harbor (BECAUSE THE MIDWEST IS STILL LIKE OH 40 YEARS IN THE PAST THEY STILL WEAR ASCOTS). Im just surprised they didnt make an internment camp joke. Note also that the protagonist orders Steak Tartare. For the less than gourmand types in our readership, this is a slab of raw beef or horse, covered in Worchestershire and onions. This makes me wonder if the entire movie was meant to be portraying an E. Coli fever dream. Later, it would lead to a joke over how the protagonists journey was worse than being an Arab it must be worse being a camel. Is the anti-American sentiment behind 9/11 any wonder anymore?
