Cade screening at 60 theaters. in typical Breen fashion he doesn't post a list, rather this 7 minute YouTube video in which he reads them off in random order. he gives no link to buy tickets just "keep checking the website and eventually they will come up".

I kinda knew what was coming thanks to this thread but wow not really prepared for how fast things ramp up. every movie he does brings to mind the Garth Marenghi "I know writers who use subtext and they're all cowards" clip but wow, this is next level
I thought the blonde lady from Fateful Findings was the worst actor to ever appear in a Breen film (Jim's wife/murderer, not Breen's long lost love), but the lady who takes refuge in Breen's bean van is somehow even worse. honorable mention to the cartel thugs whose only direction must've been "BE AS LOUD AND MEAN AS POSSIBLE!!!!"

follow up - I was not at the screening because I had somewhere I had to be that day, unfortunately. but I did get the DVD - perhaps the last DVD I will ever buy - and I will be watching it tonight

Sounds like he delivered once more!

Like Lynch or Tarkovsky, Breen's films are quite subtle and complex so you need to rewatch them again and again.

I guess we'll never know what goes on in the mind of Breen but this really did feel like he filmed two different versions of the same movie and just put all the footage together - it's not really clear if these actors are supposed to be playing the same character throughout the movie. like one of them appears to die three times and other times is in a wheelchair, but then is doing karate moves five minutes later?? even for Neil Breen it's incomprehensible. still very entertaining, though I hope his future movies aren't all green screened like this

what in god’s name
all the green screen gave me something like zoom fatigue
as usual, really can’t tell how in on it breen is
“holy shit… it’s a castle!”
