opinion on mike flanagan’s carrie?

It's kind of a mixed bag for me. I wish they were going more with an accurate casting (ie. A casting similar to the 1988 musical and 2002 adaptation)

Nothing against Summer Howell but I want an average-looking actress whose beauty shines through at the Prom: in the book, her classmates described her as 'a frog among swans' and King himself describes her as a 'chunky girl with pimples' and flat mousy blonde hair. But when Tommy first asks her to the Prom, he describes her as not bad looking if people looked past her bad posture "Her face was round rather than oval, and the eyes were so dark that they seemed to cast shadows beneath them, like bruises. Her hair was darkish blonde, slightly wiry, pulled back in a bun that was not becoming to her. The lips were full, almost lush, the teeth naturally white. Her body, for the most part, was indeterminate". And of course, when she arrives at the Prom, all dolled-up, she looks almost unrecognizable.

Angela Bettis was closest in terms of this appearance because of her messy hair, her clothing, and the worn, weary look she wore.

I hate to say this because I never want to say anything bad about anyone but Summer Howell just seems to be badly miscast...

When it comes to the positive aspects, I really want to see more development from the popular girls (in the 2013 film, according to the original script, girls like Heather, Nikki and Lizzie were supposed to get more characterization to make them better stand out and make you cheer when their deaths came, but said development was massively cut down. It's especially apparent with Heather because due to the bad editing of her scenes being cut, it seems that Heather is unaware that the prank is about to happen at first, as implied when she says at the Hair Salon that she knows Chris isn't coming to prom because she's suspended, and when she tells Sue at prom that Chris isn't there. However, judging by her reaction to the eventual prank, which is glee and laughter, it becomes blatantly obvious that she knew the whole time and lied to Sue....which makes it even more sickening because the day before Prom, when seeing Sue looks sickly---due to her pregnancy---Heather genuinely and sincerely asks Sue if she's okay...only to lie to her the next day. That's one of the many things that the petition of Carrie 2013 is said to restore.

In contrast, the popular girls in the 2002 adaptation were done far better: you have Tina who is established as Chris' right hand and gets her karma in the destruction the prank she caused, Helen Shyres who has a little character arc of her own where she starts as one of Chris and Tina's cronies but she slowly feels remorse and eventually wounds up voting for Carrie genuinely and trying to help Tommy during the chaos, and Norma who is by far one of my favorite characters in the 2002 adaptation) and apparently, Ralph White is said to be in this and given we don't know much about the man in the novel, this series can take any direction with him, especially given that Ralph White is said to have died when Carrie was a baby but here, he's around to raise Carrie with Margaret. Making that two ticking time bombs whom raise Carrie.

So....the upcoming Carrie series is a bit of a mixed bag and until I see a teaser/trailer and then the final product, we'll have to see.

[notthesodaa]

yea!!!

to this day i will stand by the 2002 movie bc of their ensemble. katharine isabella’s tina is INCREDIBLE and their ensemble generally is really well-written.

linzi hateley, molly ranson, and angela bettis are by far my favorites for carrie acting-wise, angela being my fav.

this tv series seems to have a lot of new ideas…good and bad. i’m surprised they haven’t done like any promo considering it’s set to drop october and it’s currently june

i also REALLYYYY hate the one costume we’ve seen so far. She Would Not Fucking Wear That. along with margaret never allowing her to wear that

[bandcampfun2021]

I'm surprised we haven't gotten something either. Normally, a TV-series has its teaser or even the full trailer set months in advance, such as Welcome to Derry. This allows for a lot of speculation and anticipation to grow.

But so far here, nothing.

[notthesodaa]

all i’ve seen is a tiktok from matthew lillard about being done with shooting, an image of the clapboard, that pic of summer’s carrie, and like. one set photo. (WHICH DOES HAVE A LGBTQ POSTER SO ONLY PROMISING THING SO FAR)

it’s so tragic that matthew lillard wasn’t put in a bigger role tho imo. he should’ve been ralph

[bandcampfun2021]

I've seen the man doubt his own acting skills when he does phenomenally in more than just 1990s horror films. He is a highlight in the Five Nights at Freddy's films as William Afton and more.

Clearly casting needed help with their casting because Matthew Lillard would be a great Ralph White.

[bandcampfun2021]

With the Carrie series directed by Mike Flanagan coming up, I want to take a rare character analysis on the antagonist of the book: Chris Hargensen.

For me, I used to initially hate Chris Hargensen as a kid because she was a bully and it just hit too close to home because it reminded me of how my classmates would treat me because I was different (even in elementary, I'd often find myself reading in the library during recess while others played outside).

But over the past few months, re-reading it with a clearer perspective on psychology, I see Chris Hargensen as a product of her environment she was raised in. Especially considering her father, whom I consider a foil to Margaret White.

In case those have forgotten, Irma Swope is a brief minor though mentioned character in the Carrie novel as Principal Henry Grayle goes over Chris Hargensen's history when putting her father in his place: according to Principal Grayle, in Junior High, Chris placed a firecracker in Irma's shoe and almost cost her two toes because she had a cleft lip. This demonstrates her father's lack of parenting because had the incident described below taken place today, Chris Hargensen would've been taken to a psychiatric hospital---at the very least---regardless of her father's money and influence as a lawyer. There was clearly psychological problems with her even before Ewen High that her father or the school didn't acknowledge. Here's the exact wording from the novel itself.

***

"Chamberlain Junior High, one suspension for putting a firecracker in a girl's shoe ... the note on the card says that little prank almost cost a little girl named Irma Swope two toes. The Swope girl has a harelip, I understand. I'm talking about your daughter, Mr Hargensen. Does that tell you anything?'

***

I mean, Chris Hargensen was already out of control due to her father's lack of parenting but being given a suspension---rather than being placed in psychiatric care---and her father's lack of response to how seriously out of control his daughter was getting speaks volumes. For those curious, this is her father's response to being called out.

***

'Yes,' Hargensen said, rising. A thin flush had suffused his features, 'It tells me I'll see you in court. And when I'm done with you, you'll be lucky to get a job selling encyclopedias door to door.'

****

I mean, if this is how he speaks towards being called out about the truth of his daughter's behavior and about the incident years after said incident occured, whose to say how he reacted when the firecracker incident initially happened? How he reacted when the Swope parents came after him?

Needless to say, I'm surprised that the Bar Association wasn't alerted earlier due to his behavior---because today, not even his influence would've gotten Chris Hargensen out from serious repercussions regarding the firecracker incident. At the very most, she would've been taken away to get serious psychological care and counseling and CPS would've been called in for John Hargensen's attitude towards the incident (how he reacts to his daughter's transgressions speaks volumes to how he probably reacted to a firecracker almost blowing off the two toes of a girl).

While it's never elaborated on, the parenting Chris faced at the hands of her father did affect her but in a different way to Carrie's parenting: His daughter's caught at a drug bust? She's putting his reputation at risk. It's even said by the Principal that John Hargensen pulled some pretty long strings to get her into Oberlin with no consideration over what she actually wanted (and not letting her do it on talent and hard work) and there's no implication he held her accountable for missing on the fifty detentions---out of seventy-three---for bullying students. He LET her escalate more and more.

It speaks more VOLUMES to John Hargensen as a parent and even though he only appears in one scene, I consider him even worse than Margaret White: Margaret was genuinely mentally ill from a mixture of what Ralph White did, implied genetic predispositions, a miscarriage of Carrie's older sibling in April 1962 mentioned early in the Shadow Exploded documentary, and finally what her grandmother Sadie Cochran did with her own telekinetic abilities to scare Margaret as a kid.

Now, I'm not trying to justify what Chris did in any way. She's still a horrific bully who needed to be held accountable and Rita Desjardin was the only adult in her life who did so (I also noted the symbolism of the lack of mention of Chris' mother---meaning she's either dead or given John Hargensen’s entitlement and behavior, divorced and wasn't able to gain custody of Chris---and Chris lashing out at Ms. Desjardin when she lectures the girls). But still, a normal elementary school kid doesn't go from being a normal kid to what she did to Irma Swope and the fateful pigs blood prank.

That's my character analysis on Chris Hargensen and I kind of want to know your own thoughts on it.

[bandcampfun2021]

When it comes to the Carrie (2013) film especially as Mike Flanagan's take is coming up and Kimberly Pierce's original vision still hasn't been released, I find myself appreciating it more for what it could've been had it not been for executive meddling: I re-read the original script and it was an original modernized version of the novel with an emphasis on cyber-bullying.

The alternative ending to the 2013 film and the original script's ending (which keeps a pregnant Sue) also heavily implies that history will repeat through Sue and Tommy's baby (if you look in Sue's dream, the lights flicker). It's even set up the same way.

You have the father who dies before the child is born in Tommy Ross and Ralph White. By Chris and Billy killing Tommy at the prom, they ensure Isabelle grows up without the one person who showed genuine, selfless compassion to outsiders. Much like Ralph White’s absence after his actions towards his wife left Margaret to spiral into her religious mania, Tommy’s absence leaves Sue alone with her PTSD.

You have the traumatized mother in Margaret White and Sue Snell. Sue’s "trauma" isn't just grief; the flicking lights in the dream symbolizes---even subtly---that she is now terrified of her own child. If Sue raises Isabelle in a state of constant fear or hyper-vigilance (similar to Margaret’s repression of Carrie), she may inadvertently trigger the same destructive path.

And you have the telekinetic child in Carrie White and Tommy and Sue's baby (in the Carrie wiki, she's named Isabelle Snell and in a brief second, you can see a bloodied Carrie smiling as she holds baby Isabelle in her arms). This frames Carrie not just as a ghost, but as a symbolic "godmother" or harbinger, passing the torch to the next generation. 

In this alternative ending, Carrie holding baby Isabelle means that Tommy and Sue's daughter may become the new Carrie White.

[rayneilit]

Just a btw, all those Harry Potter "fans" out there that are hating on the new Harry Potter, fine. You don't need to like/love all things in a fandom that you're part of but the problem is the hate.

This is who you're hating on btw.

3 little children.

Now the fact that I've seen accounts slandering them and comparing them to the movies cast is actually crazy. Not to mention most of the comments and videos saying how the show is trash when the damn thing hasn't even come out yet.

The only casting thing I actually understand is Snape being black. Hear me out.

The show is meant to be more book accurate or include book details that the movies left out.

Now, everyone knows the Snape plot line is that he's meant to be misunderstood until Deathly Hallows when his character is fully explained. The issue I feel is that nowadays most people will see the characteristics of Snape played by a black man and claim the show is racist for making Snape black and play a character that complex or the racists will use it as a way to hate pocs more than they already do.

I'm not faulting or saying big character roles can't be poc but Snape is an interesting pick with his characterization. I am excited to see how the show goes though.

Besides that, I don't really have any qualms about the casting, I do however have problems with some of the costumes. I saw Snape in a zipper. Snape. Zipper. 🤦🏽‍♀️

Anyways, you're pathetic if you hate on children. Have a good day.

It looks like they’re dropping a teaser trailer for the new Harry Potter reboot tomorrow

Just a few important and gentle reminders:

🫶🏻 DO NOT WATCH THIS FUCKING SHOW 🫶🏻

If you claim you support human rights - not just trans rights but human rights in general - yet still plan to watch this show, unfollow me. You’re a fucking hypocrite and I don’t want you following me.

Do not watch it even if you’re hate watching it, it still contributes to streaming revenue and views!

The adults in this reboot of the franchise are FULLY accountable for choosing to do this show and accepting a pay cheque over supporting a minority group. Even if they claim they support trans rights, they’re cowards and don’t actually support them at all.

The kids do NOT deserve abuse or hate, whether it’s because you’re comparing them to Dan/Rupert/Emma or because you’re boycotting due to the author’s views. They are literal CHILDREN.

Your nostalgia over a children’s series about kids going to school is NOT more important than trans people being respected and having rights. As long as JKR is still alive, she profits off of this.

[bandcampfun2021]

Also, something I will point out is the racial backlash that Paapa Essiedu is getting: including DEATH THREATS!

These people need to have their heads checked. I've already made my own story on Instagram and here on Tumblr making it clear that these people are disgusting for their comments against Paapa for something beyond his control.

If you have problems with the series, you DON’T have to watch this. Also, if you have problems with the casting, take it up with Rowling and HBO. Don't send DEATH THREATS over a TV SHOW!

HARRY POTTER HBO SERIES

We all know that the new Harry Potter series is coming. With the release of the new teaser things have officially become official.

Now....

We might hate the remake , we definitely don't vibe with the author( because no matter what pro jkr people argue we still hate her and that is entirely justifiable) and maybe some of us may not even like that our favourite people are being replaced and some of us may be excited because we love the universe so much but hate the author the same way.

This creates a friction on whether we want to support the series or not. I want to say... It doesn't matter. It doesn't matter if you hate it love it , or want to support it or not ( it is advised not to because no one wants jkr getting profits ) but in the end it's your wish and do not let anyone judge you for it.

But here's something we should do :

Don't hate or bash the cast - most of them are kids and we shouldn't let the hate get to them. It's not on them that YOU hate the series for whatever reason - justifiable or not.

Don't be a racist jerk - no one should personally care that Snape's character is being played by a black man or Hermione's cast isn't black. Idk why even in this economy people look at the colour of the skin ( like if there is war we are all going to die irrespective of our skin colour) Just look at the character they're playing and be a nice person.

Don't troll it too much - We might not be happy for it but we can be a decent human being and not give a single shit that it exists. People who are making a lot of money off of it don't care...but the cast does ( especially the kids )and we need to be extra sensitive about that.

Remember that no one is forcing you to watch it- don't watch it if you hate it. Because protecting our mind is more important than being pissed off about it after we've spent our time and energy on it.

It's okay to hate jkr - AND I RECOMMEND YOU DO SO. But don't be personal like "oh my god she's chopped" or "oh my god her voice sounds like a man". Hate her because what she stands for isn't right and you recognise it which makes you a better person in the end anyways.

...and yes. That's about it. Thank you for coming to my TedTalk. I don't care if you disagree with whatever I have to say. Have a nice life.

P.S. : Some of us do want to watch it ( including me ) because we love the idea of it and there is always more room for magic in our lives. But if you hate the author or don't want her to profit off of this ( like me ) go for the pirated sites. Bc this is the only time we can justify using pirated sites to watch whatever we want to.

[bandcampfun2021]

This is what I've been saying about Paapa Essiedu (sorry if I mispronounced his name). The people who have been making DEATH THREATS against him need to have their heads checked because I've seen the comments on Instagram and they are insane and brutal---like, do you people have anything better to do other than harass a man who has every right to feel SAFE in his own home?

I've already made my own story on Instagram making it clear that these people are disgusting for their comments against Paapa for something beyond his control (my god, if you have a problem, take it up with Rowling and HBO). Paapa didn't chose for this, he's a person with FEELINGS and with a home who has every right to feel safe and NOT be given death threats in a place he should feel SAFE.

As for the children's casting, I've got to say: for anyone who is criticizing the race of side characters, chill out. Terry Boot and Katie Bell have no defined race in the books. Susan Bones is described as having a plait in her hair which comes from Africa. Leave these children alone.

For crying out loud, leave Paapa and these children ALONE.

[adoredmarigold]

They fired her for being pro-Palestine and anti-Zionist. Don’t fucking watch or support this movie y’all, let it flop

[bandcampfun2021]

Speaking out against murders and exercising your first amendment right of speech isn't the same as what Spyglass accused Melissa Barrera of. Forget Scream 7, I'm going to watch Iron Lung.

[bandcampfun2021]

Happy Friday the 13th!

Also, one of my coworkers broke one of the known horror movie rules----you all know which one. By saying "I'll be back....maybe...."

"never, ever, ever under any circumstances say, “I’ll be right back.” Because you won't be back."

Because you won’t be back.”

[slaughtergutz]

Fuck this film. Do not fall for them bringing Stu back. They did that specifically to bring viewers back after firing their main actress and protagonist.

People's lives are more important than your desire for entertainment.

Standing up against genocide is more important than your desire for entertainment.

[rratzuri]

Thought this was a good time to bring this back! Will repost in moment of movie’s release.

Don’t watch it at the theaters, don’t watch it on streaming, and remove yourself from contributing to word of mouth on it!

(real Scream fans say) Free Palestine my luvs! 🇵🇸

[bandcampfun2021]

Going to see Iron Lung instead of this. The Scream franchise has run its course and the way they treat Melissa Barrera for simply exercising her 1st amendment right for free speech is disgusting.

[bandcampfun2021]

Athena showing up is what automatically had me be like "Wait a minute....didn't Athena withdraw her protection from her temple back in S1?" And it was all for something Percy did.

I will say that when Athena and Annabeth meet again in S3, Athena has a lot to learn about being a good mother, especially after what she did in S1. I suspect Annabeth wouldn't be too happy to see her, especially because she, Grover and Percy DEPENDED on Athena's temple for protection....and Athena removed it all because of her 'ruined pride'.

[bandcampfun2021]

Now that we're waiting for S2 of Welcome to Derry, I have just got to say---Marge Truman (Tozier) has become one of the best and my favorite characters of this show.

At the beginning, her wanting to fit in with the popular crowd kind of had me pitying her on some level---even if I was mostly on Lily's side---because I remember being in middle school and feeling the same way she did. I wanted to be as popular as the girls with the pretty clothes and pretty hair.

But at the same time, Marge is sweet and awkward with genuine motives and everything changes once her eye is damaged.

And among the group, Rich is one of the people to genuinely treat her like another person and not like a freak. Which likely spoke volumes after her ordeal.

She even gets the courage to stand up to the popular girls in a truly awesome manner

Watching her go from an insecure, awkward girl treated poorly by the popular girls to a badass willing to help others face down Pennywise was so awesome.

[bandcampfun2021]

To be honest, after watching Five Nights at Freddy's 2 movie and having some time to think about it, I don't completely mind this version of him. I don't mind that the films aren't completely paint-by-numbers adaptations of the games they're adapted from but are trying to stand on out on their own from the games they're adapted from. I like how movie! Michael takes more inspiration from game! Elizabeth and even game! Vanny, in the few scenes he's in, he's genuinely terrifying and his smile looks like Matthew Lillard (think Stu's smile when he's behind Billy for the "Surprise, Sidney!"). My only problem is that we didn't get more backstory on him---given how game! Michael obediently followed his father's orders without question until Sister Location and how Vanessa is terrified of William even after death, my question is what did William do to movie! Michael that made him the way he is?

Hopefully these questions will be answered in the third film because even with a great and terrifying performance by Freddy Carter, we didn't see enough of Michael Afton (who escapes like Michael Myers into the night by the end of the film)

[eldritchx]

All I have to say. I'm about to be so annoying.

[bandcampfun2021]

This photo literally has me speculating on what's to come. Charlie Emily looks like she's about to throw hands with William and poor Vanessa is pleading her not to.

But just look at Charlie's expression and her fist; she looks absolutely livid for Vanessa's sake, her fist is clenched...

Something tells me that this movie will go into Charlie's 'nature to protect the innocent' and the day 'how no one was there to lift her into her arms---like how she lifted Vanessa into hers'---I really do hope we hear some of Henry's speech!
