What makes a movie “good”? How do the elements of a long-form video converge to a goodness that is affirmed by a community? During my viewing of Hokum, I found myself reflecting on its individual qualities and what they meant as a whole, kind of like a lemon AND lime beverage.
Gimme a reason not to just start talking about something else! Seriously, why should I continue talking about Hokum? Dis Drawma Kingg goes on non-sequitur rants about something other than the movie in a lot of episodes of drawmakingg.com. So gimme a reason not to!
Alas, I was once walking on another world, barefoot on a substance resembling sand. A humanoid approaches me in bizarre movements.
Drawma Kingg: Hello?
Humanoid: Hey whatchya doin’?
Drawma Kingg: Ahhh, not much… how… about… you?
Humanoid: Ohh nuthin’, was hangin’ out with Nina Lou the other planetary rotation.
Drawma Kingg: Cool? Who’s Nina Lou?
Humanoid: MY BEST FRIEND! Wait?! You don’t even know, Nina Lou?!
Drawma Kingg: Oh yeah… [getting scared] I know Nina Lou. She’s from that thing I saw that one time.
Humanoid: Phew! You had me worried you were an alien spy for a second there.
Drawma Kingg: Wow, that is sooooo not like me.
Humanoid: We’re cool then. If you don’t mind me asking – what’s the one thing you know Nina Lou from?
Drawma Kingg: Errrm gee ahh… y’know the ol’ memory ain’t what it used to be.
Humanoid: Surely ha ha, I hear that! I’ll quit bugging you about it. WAIT A SECOND! I don’t know how old you are, but you are clearly less than 100 orbits around our star! How is your memory bad already?!
[Inputs an electronic command to alert authorities of the extraterrestrial spy]
Is It Worth Watching?: I personally did not find Hokum to be very entertaining.
Final Thoughts: 5/10 Crowns. Hokum’s plot did not amount to anything interesting, and there were only some slight scares. Generally, there were no standout moments that were exciting or noteworthy. Adam Scott’s acting is the only aspect that comes to mind to praise. His character hurt my feelings though when he suggested you’re not a writer if you don’t make a lot of money from writing. Dis Drawma Kingg isn’t no gazillionaire!
BONUS: Bet you’re wondering how I made it out of that interplanetary conflict alive and how I got back to planet Earth. I’d tell you all about it if only my memory were what it used to be!
