The Bonus Round

On occasion, Steve Kaycee has had problems in blogging about things in timely fashion, such as his reaction to the 2019 World Series matchup between the Washington Nationals and Houston Astros.

But after one of Art Infliction’s most innovative minds has come up with a way to never allow such problems to ever happen again via this page. Especially when Extra Sessions keeps getting overbooked with either constant entries or entries that need to remain on this website for an indefinite amount of time.

And of course, with that being said, the need for this page arises again, as he blogs about deciding to look for an additional Kate Beckinsale movie for The Flickuum Project.

“Flickasbord, Volume 116”

Getting more and more resolution on rounding out 2,501 of the 2,600 overall guaranteed Flickuum spots is becoming increasingly methodical by the day, as more movies are seemingly throwing their hats into the ring to make this pare-down a very challenging process. Let’s begin.

First up, after seeing a movie (Red One) about main protagonists trying to prevent evil from ruining Christmas, I decided to give another chance to a movie (Mr. St. Nick) that’s about preventing Christmas from being cancelled, thus I pardoned the latter of the two movies to Tier 8 for a re-assessment. Plus, it’s Ana Ortiz’s best chance at having a live-action movie of hers make The Project.

As it stands right now, Kate Beckinsale has no more Flickuum movies after “Pearl Harbor” was evaluated on July 1 of last year. And of course, with that being said, it’s too early to end her Flickuum evaluation era, because she’s just too damn radiant. So, given that, I looked through her IMDB filmography yesterday to see if I could extend her Flickuum evaluation era with a worthy movie. And sure enough, I found the perfect candidate in getting the first shot at it, with that candidate being “The Aviator”. Besides, “Serendipity” was assessed before “The Bounce Back” in August 2017, so a March Madness style between a movie of hers (Kate Beckinsale) and a Nadine Velazquez movie has to happen.

During some mental strategizing time this most recent Monday, I went to the Movies app on Apple TV to see Erinn Hayes’ accessible movies on there to see if anything else of hers slipped through the cracks. And sure enough, something else did, with that movie being “Fixed”. And as to why it will no longer slip through the cracks, well I loved that she came off as feisty in the trailer.

There are some actresses that I deem hot and realize that they are even hotter when I see them in a movie and/or TV show again. Ayden Mayeri is one of those actresses, yet she keeps showing up in movies that either make her hard to spot or completely waste her radiance. So, with all of that being said, I’ve come up with a two-way route of getting a good movie of hers in which she’s easy to spot, as I have tabbed “Cora Bora” and “Before You Know It” for that route, and in hopes that at least one of them can make The Project. Stay tuned.

After seeing Nostalgia Critic’s review of the 2015 movie “Krampus” and coming away feeling that it would have an incomplete feel to it, I found myself tempted to put it on the Movies That Mega Tat Refuses To See page. But after noticing the way that “Red One” incorporated that Christmas folklore, I’ve decided that I will assess the aforementioned 2015 movie after all because maybe it will have a much more complete feel to me.

And finally, Jeffrey Wright is going to give it his all, whether it’s him playing Peoples Hernandez in the 2000 version of “Shaft” or him playing Winston in the otherwise head-scratching “Broken Flowers”. And of course, all of this brings me to the crux of this sentence, which is that I felt nothing but apprehension about seeing “American Fiction”. But of course, I have decided to take a flier on it, simply because Wright’s performance is highly-touted in that movie and he’s too good to not have at least 10 Flickuum movies. Currently, he is on pace for six.

Well, I’ve made at least a bit more progress in getting movies for The Project via both my eighth consecutive successful theatrical outing in “Red One”, and the successful re-assessment of “Marcel The Shell With Shoes On”. But I’m going to need more successful assessments/re-assessments at a much faster pace, as I’m one year, one month, one week and three days away from the New Year’s Day 2026 deadline.

Until the next time.
