OK, "Ebony & Ivory" is... really strange. I'm not really sure if I enjoyed it, but it's a... mostly interesting experience. Well, the writer and director, Jim Hosking, also wrote and directed "The Greasy Strangler", which is another weird film. I think "Ebony & Ivory" manages to be even weirder, which is quite an accomplishment.

This film is about two weirdos who are Paul McCartney and Stevie Wonder... I think. It takes place in the 1980s. Even though Stevie is blind, he manages to row a boat by himself to the Mull of Kintyre in Scotland to basically hang out and smoke weed with Paul. They barely talk about collaborating on a song. They just... I dunno, talk and behave weirdly. There are no other people in the film. It has a lot of repetitive dialogue and noises. It's actually kind of insane just how much they say the same things again and again. I understand if people don't like this film. While the repetition did bother me a bit, I pretty much went with it. I just accepted that this is the kind of film this is.

Are the actors' voices dubbed? They don't sound like they're speaking in their normal voices. I'm not sure. Again, it only bothered me a bit. Paul is played by Sky Elobar and Stevie is played by Gil Gex. Both actors are in "The Greasy Strangler". I think they did a good job in "Ebony & Ivory". They seem to be playing real famous musicians, but their performances probably aren't accurate. Well, I wasn't expecting their performances to *be* accurate.

I didn't find the film to be annoying. I was actually frequently laughing. The cinematography and the music are good. As for the editing, it's mostly fine. I would've maybe removed at least a bit of the repetition, but that's just me. I'm still not sure if I enjoyed the film because it's just *too* bizarre. Can you imagine watching it while on drugs? That would be crazy. Well, anyway, I certainly don't regret watching it. I wouldn't recommend it to my family members, but if you're someone who watches strange comedies like "The Greasy Strangler" or "Vampire's Kiss", then check it out.

When I first watched "Your Tomorrow", I found it boring. I think I was expecting there to be interviews with people about Ontario Place, but was disappointed that there aren't any. I decided to watch the film again and, surprisingly, I appreciated it a lot more. Yeah, I changed my mind. It helped that I knew what to expect.

"Your Tomorrow" is about the aforementioned Ontario Place, a venue and park in Toronto right by Lake Ontario. It used to be a theme park, but that was a long time ago. This film actually doesn't give a lot of history about Ontario Place. In fact, I don't think there's any talk about why people love it or maybe there's barely talk about that. There's only some stock footage. The film is mainly about people who work at and visit Ontario Place in the 2020s, obviously not too long before the film was released. There are a few scenes of people protesting redevelopment plans. Visitors relax and walk around. They spend time at a beach. There are at least a couple of eccentric people. One guy describes a beach he's on as "the greatest piece of art that humanity ever made". To me, that's kinda funny because it just looks like a regular beach. There doesn't seem to be anything really special about it.

The workers have to deal with concerts at Ontario Place. For example, Lynyrd Skynyrd is going to perform. Maybe it would've been nice if we could *see* that concert, but unfortunately, none of it is shown. This irked me the first time I watched the film, but I forgave it while watching it again. Maybe the filmmakers couldn't get the music rights. The film has a lot of quiet moments that I liked. It's well-shot. For example, the footage of a sunset is nice. The music is often gentle and it sounds very good. If you previously spent time at Ontario Place, the film might make you nostalgic.

Like I wrote, it took me a second viewing to enjoy "Your Tomorrow". I don't think it's great, but I do think it's a good time capsule. While you don't get much history about Ontario Place, you do get interesting cinematography, music, and dialogue. I recommend watching the film.

Talking Heads' song "Psycho Killer" came out in 1977, but for some reason, we only recently got an official music video for it. Well, to be fair, music videos weren't common in the '70s. Still, it's been a very long time. I love the song and I thought this video was a nice surprise. It's about a woman's daily routine. Every day, she wakes up, goes to work, and comes home. She soon starts to behave strangely. The woman is played by Saoirse Ronan and she gives an excellent performance. The video actually isn't very violent. I'd say it's only mildly violent and that's fine.

The editing is pretty quick, but I didn't find it distracting. It felt appropriate. The video is also definitely well-shot. I guess it's a *little* funny because of the woman's odd behaviour. So yeah, the video is very entertaining and rewatchable. I highly recommend it.
