Movie Adventure 11/365 -- Breaking a Monster
Breaking a Monster
A great documentary about the teenagers who make up the metal band Unlocking the Truth. I was really impressed by the kids’ musicianship and enthusiasm for the genre. The real drama comes from the relationship between them and their manager... when the doc ends you will definitely want to hop online and see how that story ends. Well worth a watch and I hope these kids have a long musical career ahead of them.
Movie Adventure 10/365 -- Keanu
Keanu
I really enjoyed this one -- it was charming and a lot of fun. The cat was FUCKING ADORABLE OMG. Seriously, the cat(s) made this movie. The humans were good too. If you want to just relax and have some laughs, this one is a good choice.
Movie Adventure 9/365 -- Ant-Man
Ant-Man
Since we were watching a lot of Marvel movies, we decided to give this one a whirl. It was pretty good -- not amazing and mostly carried by Paul Rudd’s watery-eyed charm but a fun movie.
Movie Adventure 8/365 -- Pervert Park
Pervert Park
This documentary follows sex offenders who live in a sex offender-only community during their probation and rehabilitation process.
It was a rough watch. I felt the doc itself was very even handed and did not push an agenda. It didn’t demonize these people, nor did it treat them kindly -- as they discussed their crimes, what led them to those crimes and how they could move forward in life.
I think the best documentaries open your mind a bit or allow you to see things from another viewpoint. What this doc did for me was to help drive home the point that punishment alone doesn’t solve any problems -- but that real, actual rehabilitation/therapy is the only thing that can possibly slow the cycle of sexual abuse. Therapy for all victims of sexual abuse regardless of age or income is the only thing that *might* help abused children from growing up to become sexual offenders themselves. Because by that point, it’s probably too late.
This doc made me sad and angry. :( But I don’t think turning away from horrible, disturbing problems solves anything. It hasn’t so far. What we’re doing is obviously NOT helping and the cycle continues and people, especially children are the ones who pay.
Movie Adventure 7/365 -- Holy Hell
Holy Hell
This documentary follows the beginning and evolution of the Buddhafield cult which sprang up in the early to mid 80s and continues to this day. What really made this interesting is that the film was made by a former cult member who left after 20 years. His was the cult’s de facto filmmaker and so his use of the footage he’d taken during that times gives us an intimate, disturbing look into the cult, its leader and its members.
I don’t want to give too much away but if you’re at all familiar with cults, you can guess how it all falls apart for the filmmaker in the end. Well worth a watch if you’re at all interested in religion, cults, Scientology etc.
Movie Adventure 6/365 -- Avengers: Age of Ultron
Avengers Age of Ultron
Well, after watching “Captain America: Civil War” we wanted to watch this one. While I have read and heard a lot of negatives about this movie, I enjoyed it. It was a little slow to start, it was a fun movie. If you like the other Marvel movies, you’ll enjoy it.
I did NOT, however, enjoy Jeremy Renner, his house, his wife or his kids or any of that storyline. If the Avengers have to go chill and hide out, why didn’t they go to Savage Island that has fucking DINOSAURS on it??? Seriously -- if you have the choice of going to saddo Muppet-face Hawkeye’s house or DINSOSAUR ISLAND -- you GO TO DINOSAUR ISLAND. Jesus.
Apart from that, I enjoyed it, anyway.
Movie Adventure 5/365 -- Sing Street
Sing Street
This is the first movie of the adventure so far that I have really LOVED. It’s just so fucking delightful and charming and well done.
It follows a group of disaffected school-age Irish kids who decide to form a band in the mid-80s. It’s filled with great music -- both from the 80s and original songs. It’s a lovely, poignant little coming of age story that will get you smiling and tapping your feet.
And hell, we could all use that right about now, am I right? Definitely don’t pass this one up -- you won’t be sorry.
Movie Adventure 4/365 -- Captain America Civil War
Captain America Civil War
Even though I’m very much over superhero/comic book movies at this point, I really enjoyed this one. I enjoyed the first Cap movie -- and I thought Winter Soldier was a downright snoozefest -- so I wasn’t sure if I’d like this one. But it was good fun. I liked Black Panther and the new Spiderman and enjoyed Cap and Black Widow and Iron Man. Though I never enjoy Hawkeye bc Jeremy Renner is terrible. And the actor who plays Bucky is a black hole of charisma.
Still, it was enjoyable and one of the better efforts. Faint praise, I know.
Movie Adventure 3/365 -- Elstree 1976
Elstree 1976
The 3rd movie in our movie adventure is this sweet little documentary about bit actors who were in the original 3 Star Wars movies. I don’t know if I’d consider David Prowst a bit actor -- he was the embodiment of Darth Vadar, after all. But the others were often masked as aliens or Stormtroopers or otherwise blink-and-you’ll-miss-em characters. I love documentaries like this that give a little insight into the movie-making process.
It was interesting to see how the various actors felt about their role in the movies -- while some seemed pleased and even honored to be part of the huge phenomenon of STAR WARS no matter that their role was small -- there were others who came off as bitter that being part of a huge movie franchise didn’t translate into more success for themselves.
It was highly enjoyable, especially as a SW fan and geek. The whole damn thing was worth watching just for Paul Blake who played Greedo -- why this man didn’t become a HUGE success is beyond me. He’s dapper as fuck and utterly charming and I feel like I’d watch him in anything. Game of Thrones Casting People -- get on this. Trust.
Movie Adventure 2/356 -- Taxi Driver
TAXI DRIVER
Hard to believe I’ve lived so long and never saw this “classic,” right? Honestly, I’ve avoided a lot of these classics on principle. Don’t tell ME what’s good, media/society!!! I’ll decide for myself, damn you!
And thus, I feel this movie was both disturbing and wasted on me -- for the same reason, really. The sympathetic treatment of Travis Bickle was deeply disturbing to me. And at the same time, I could see so many young men watching this movie and deifying him. It’s like the MRA Creepy Stalker/Shooter Handbook. It made me angry and disgusted. If that was Scorsese’s goal -- well done, you.
I’m glad I saw it but I didn’t enjoy it. Also, I found the music weird. Maybe if I’d see it when I was younger, I’d have viewed it with a kinder eye. But as an Official Old, a feminist and someone who sees toxic masculinity killing people every day -- it’s hard not to view this movie as repulsive.
Movie Adventure 1/365 -- I Am Not A Serial Killer
So my husband and I are dedicating ourselves to watching a movie every damn day for a year. I know we’ll end up missing days here and there but we’re going to fly casual and do our best. I’ll be documenting it here.
The first movie we watched for this project is:
I AM NOT A SERIAL KILLER
Horror and especially indie horror is a genre we watch the most of, next to documentaries. We both really enjoyed this one. It’s about a teenager who is diagnosed with sociopathy who thinks he’s discovered a brutal killer in his hometown. Only the killer is more than he originally seems to be. To say much more would be spoiling the surprise, but I thought this was an interesting take on the serial killer horror movie.
While I didn’t find this movie scary -- I rarely find serial killer movies scary -- I don’t think I’ve ever seen one quite like this. Well acted (you’ll recognize Christopher Lloyd of course and Laura Fraser if you’re a “Breaking Bad” fan) and directed -- if you like horror, this is worth your time.
When talking about horror movies, I often like to mention the gore factor or anything triggery so that people who may want to avoid certain things can more easily do so. This movie had some realistic gore and scenes in a morgue of embalming and autopsies. No animals were hurt/harmed and there was no sexual violence whatsoever.
Game of Thrones: Book of the Stranger. Random thoughts.
If you know me, then you know how pissed I was about season 5 of GoT. I was so fed up with the male-gaze-nudity, the sexualized violence, the way they changed characters and story lines to add in MOAR RAPE. I hate-watched it and decided not to even watch season 6. In between the seasons, the showrunners came out with an interview where they said that they’d listened to the uproar and complaints over season 5 and were listening and taking it into account. I figured it was lip service and figured season 6 would be business as usual. But I decided to warily give it a chance and see for myself.
Well, so far, so good, D & D. In 4 episodes, we’ve seen hardly any boobs at all -- and those we have seen have been relevant to the story and mostly not male-gazey. (In fact the cries of the poor menz bitching over Old Melisandre’s breasts were like sweet sweet music to my ears.) There’s been nary a rape to be seen. And in fact, so far the prevailing message is: Sisters Are Doing It For Themselves.
Case in point, episode 4 The Book of the Stranger.
Where over and over we see the women in our story step up and take charge. We see Loras, one of the best knights in the kingdom, absolutely broken by his imprisonment and treatment by the Faith Militant. And we see Margaery realize that it’s up to her to be the strong one and carry them both through this. We see Sansa try to convince Jon Snow to rally the Northern banners and once again go to war and say that if he doesn’t help, she will damned well do it herself. (MY QUEEEEN! YASSS!) We see Dany ignore Jorah and Daario’s plan to wisk her away from the Dosh Khaleen and instead enlist them to help her enact HER own plan that involves not escape for conversion of the Dothraki horde. We see Yara Greyjoy prepared to step up and become queen of the Iron Islands and not too fucking happy at the thought that her brother might try and usurp her.
Yeah, ladies. GET SHIT DONE. DO THE THINGS!
One thing I really loved about ASOIAF is how varied the women were. While many adhered to common fantasy archetypes, all of the characters felt different. You’d never mistake a Cersei chapter for a Catelyn chapter. Their voices, their actions, their motivations were unique. Even the characters you might not like (or love to hate) felt fresh and authentic. And finally we are seeing that in the TV show in some of the younger female characters.
And it rocks. And if this season turns back into Rapeapalooza, I will BURN EVERYHING TO THE FUCKING GROUND.
But enough rambling -- to the episode itself.
Was there any scene more satisfying or heartbreaking than the reunion of Jon and Sansa?? The acting by both was off the charts and I felt like 5 years of story was passed between them in a single look. We see how world- and war-weary Jon is (Suck it up, buttercup!) and how Sansa has learned that now is the time for action.
And Brienne and Tormund is the OTP I never even knew I wanted until now. Someone, for the love of the old gods, make this happen. Again, the acting, the acting!!! Tormund’s dumbstruck expression when he sees Brienne and Brienne’s utter confusion over a man viewing her as a desirable woman was beyond brilliant. It tugged at all my feelings. Let us not forget that in Westeros, Brienne is a freak, a grotesque and not even really considered a woman. Never in her life has she been looked at with desire. And in fact, the one man who treated her kindly was our beloved Peach King, Renly Baratheon and she followed him with blind, unwavering faith until the very end. Her consternation at Tormund’s attention was a beautiful thing and I want them to have amazing giant ginger babies together. MAKE IT HAPPEN.
And honestly, everything else paled in comparison to the scenes at the wall. Dany’s Fire Trick -- great going, now you have a Super Biggie Time Army that you still can’t really use b/c you’ll be leaving the slave cities in a huge shitstorm. I mean, ok, fine. More armies is good. But where is it all going???
Osha -- we finally see our fave wildling again, only for her to get a knife in the neck. #oshadeservedbetter Ramsey has become a cartoon character of a villain. The only thing he needs now if a mustache to twirl and white fluffy cat to pet while making his dastardly plans. In my perfect dream world, Melisandre would resurrect LADY and Lady would tear his throat out. Hey, a gal can dream, right? I swear that it will not be a satisfying death unless Sansa herself kills him. I know it’ll never happen... but...
I suppose going off-book was the best thing that could have happened to GAME OF THRONES and I never thought I’d say that. But instead of being tied to GRRM’s storyline, they can fly into uncharted territories and move the plot -- which has moved more in these 4 episodes than in the past 2 seasons. So I’m curious to see where they’re all going and where their stories will cross and converge. And I hope against all hope that it’ll be the ladies who take up the banners and the swords and make things happen... since it was the men who started this shitstorm in the first place. (Thanks dumbass Robert Baratheon and Littlefinger!)
Game of Thrones s6e3 - Oathbreaker (random thoughts)
Looks like BASTARDBOWL is a sure thing at this point.
CLEGAINEBOWL looks nearly as sure.
Once again Dany’s storyline stagnates.
No Dorne in this episode. This is a good thing.
Jon, having died, is released from all his oaths.
Arya didn’t get her sight back like in the books. *sigh*
...and then there were two (direwolves). RIP Shaggy Dog. While I’ve seen a lot of people speculating that the wolf’s head in question didn’t belong to Shaggy Dog and instead just a large decoy wolf -- making House Umber, Osha and Rickon part of a long con to take back Winterfell... I’m not getting my hopes up.
I hope one day we’ll see Nymeria running wild through the north, killing all men in her wake.
This episode was demoralizing for me and exhausting and I hope House Stark will one day come out the victors, after raining 7 hells on their enemies.
The north remembers.
Random Game of Thrones thoughts.
I’m not planning on doing recaps each week (though I might) but wanted to just throw some thoughts out there. Do I even need to talk about a spoiler tag? Ok, there may be spoilers -- for the TV show up through season 6 episode 2 and for all 5 books. Though since the books and show have diverged, it’s all theory and guesswork at this point for all of us.
I can’t be the only one who got teary-eyed during the Winterfell “flashback” right? Mostly, seeing Hodor -- sorry, Willas. In the books we know how he “became” Hodor due to an injury but I wonder if they’ll show us that or change it somehow. The scene with Bran talking to Hodor about it was heartbreaking. Poor Hodor! <3
I suppose that flashback (for lack of a better term) is a precursor to showing us some pretty important things like the Tower of Joy -- and proving the R + L = J theory. It’ll be exciting to see.
This episode touched base with all of my favorites... brief interlude with Sansa, where I felt she finally looks and carries herself like the Queen in the North she needs to become.She finally seemed regal to me -- not like a girl pretending to be a lady. Oh gods... Lady. I still cry about Lady, you guys. STILL. I will never fucking forgive Cersei for that. NEVER.
Arya is still blind but getting back on track now. How she gets her sight back in the books was one of my favorite things ever so I hope they keep that -- but I’m thinking they won’t. Which I’ll be disappointed about. Oh and hey Jaqen H’gar, how YOU doin?
I’ll get all the hate for this but I have never been a superhuge Tyrion fan. I find the self-loathing tedious. Though Peter Dinklage is amazing and it’s a credit to him that I like the character at all (I loathe Tyrion in the books). But Tyrion, buddy... I feel you about the dragons. Because I want a dragon too. And I loved when Viserion (I think?) looked at him, appraising, and then turned his neck so he could undo the collar. Clever girl. Uh, boy. You know.
I don’t care a bit about Lannisters so yeah, skipping King’s Landing.
I may be the only one who cares about the Kingsmoot though, on the Iron Islands because Yara (Asha) Greyjoy is one of my favorites and I’m pretty sure if she and Sansa could become BFFs, they’d take over the 7 kingdoms. Someone has surely written this fanfic.
I have been thinking about Jon Snow’s resurrection... thinking back to the previous scenes of rezzing with Thoros of Myr and Beric Dondarrion, Thoros said he had no idea how he resurrected Beric time and time again. He didn’t do any magic. He just asked and the Red God listened. All this time Melisandre has been throwing around her powers and lording them over everyone and using her power and influence to shape the fates of the world and of men and yet, all her visions and spells and magic has been for nothing.She has been humbled. And only then was she able to carry out her greatest magic -- resurrection. She asked. Humbly. For no gain or influence or power. She asked and the Red God (or maybe many gods) listened.
Also... Ghost and Davos and Dolorus Edd and Tormund and Wun Wun are the best and I would follow them anywhere. Definitely be on the side that has giants.
One more resurrection thought... Beric Dondarrion said that every time he “came back” he lost something of himself. But perhaps if Jon Snow safely stowed away in Ghost through warging, he is still himself and intact.
WISHFUL DREAMING TIME:
BastardBowl should be a GO! Bastard Jon Snow and Bastard Ramsay Bolton fight for Winterfell! Then Sansa can rule in the North like she should.
CleganeBowl!!! The Hound (not dead) and Robert Strong (aka Zombie The Mountain Clegane, the Hound’s brother) fight to the death for... whatever, it’s CleganeBowl!
I don’t care if every other person dies and the world turns to ice and snow so long as Arya and Nymeria are reunited. I know it’ll never happen but I am keeping the dream alive. Because it makes me too upset to think otherwise.
is it just me or were there NO BOOBS in these two episodes? What show IS this? Did the showrunners listen and realize so many are tired of the seemingly endless display of tits and sexual violence? I’m sure it’ll be boobs-o-rama next week. Oh well.
THE WALKING DEAD s6e16 The Last Day on Earth
I’m really not sure how I’ll get through this without some mild comic book spoilers but I’ll try and confine them to the end. Ok? Deep breath.
Negan. The big bad we’ve been waiting for. The boogieman that has been lurking about in the shadows this entire season. Really, TWD’s version of the devil incarnate... we knew he was going to show up but did he live up to his potential?
Not really. Because we never see the result of his carnage.
I’d read some spoilers that the season would end the way it did -- with the ultimate cliffhanger -- so I wasn’t surprised. But I can’t say I wasn’t disappointed. I’d would have much preferred to see the person who got Lucille’d and then spend the next 6 months raging and grieving the character. I think doing things the way they did felt cheap and insulting -- especially after the BULLSHIT they pulled with Glenn and the dumpster. It’s disappointing. I’m not disappointed in the story but in the way it was presented. Even in the comics, the last panel is the unrecognizable pulp of [spoiler]’s face. You’re left reeling from it. We get no satisfaction here.
Word of warning to the writers -- people will only put up with your shit so far.
There’s rumors going around that the writers etc haven’t even decided who was killed yet and want to gauge fan reaction before they make the final decision. I tend to think that’s bullshit. They know and they’re keeping it close to their chest. But on THE TALKING DEAD, Robert Kirkman said there are definitive clues as to who it is (and you can find those on the Youtubes).
I had nothing bad to say about Negan’s portrayal -- other than it’s a shame Americans are so ridiculous about profanity because I felt he was muzzled a bit by not being able to be his true profane, boisterous self. I hope they filmed a swear-laden version for the blu-ray. The biggest difference between Negan and say, the Governor is the joy. Negan is full of fucking joy. He kills with glee. Sure he rules with an iron fist but he’s pretty damned happy about it, in sharp contrast to the Governor's cold, calculating psychopathy. Negan is practical and capable of mercy but if he’s going to punish you, he will do it with a light heart and a smile on his face.
So we meet Negan and he’s scary and funny and well portrayed by Jeffrey Dean Morgan (excellent casting there -- UNLIKE the fucking Governor!). But we, the viewers, get no love from this storyline at all. We know they’re being herded from the very beginning. And it’s like shouting at a horror movie actress to NOT GO IN THE BASEMENT -- we see the inevitable. We also can see this as the ultimate price for Rick’s hubris. And we can see that The Saviors aren’t get a well-armed rag tag group -- but probably number in the hundreds. And if Rick hadn’t been so cocksure about their ability to take out baddies, maybe they’d have done some reconnaissance and figured that out beforehand.
Because that’s what this death is. Punishment for Rick. And his he deals with it, reacts to it shapes his character for the foreseeable future. Rick isn’t the type to live on his knees... but how long will he stay there and how he stands up are questions we’ll be answering for a long time to come.
Meanwhile, Morgan is on the hunt for Carol. He finds her but can’t convince her to go back to Alexandria. And in possibly the best moment in the entire episode (fuck, maybe the entire season) -- Morgan makes the decision to kill. And by killing the man who was slowly killing Carol, I think he saves both her and himself. I admit, I cheered and screams and almost ripped my husband’s arm out of its socket when he pulled the trigger. Maybe all life IS precious... some maybe some life is a bit more precious than others.
And in another moment that made me cheer with delight, we meet once again the man in body armor from last episode -- the one who was just looking for his horse at the barn and whom Morgan stopped Rick from killing. He shows up with another man and in perhaps the most unambiguous scene on TWD, we see that they are instantly trustworthy types. The good guys. The calvary has arrived. And they will save Carol and perhaps -- can show her that she doesn’t have to just survive or die -- but that she can live. There are now options for her that didn’t exist before.
And if the Negan scenes were demoralizing and frustrating -- the scenes with Carol and Morgan and these new people gave me hope.
Because the gods know we need it now more than ever.
COMICS SPOILERS BELOW!!!!!!!!!!
-- The guys on horseback really ARE good guys. They’re from a group called The Kingdom and HOLY CRAP I CANNOT WAIT TO SEE THIS SHIT. It’s going to be a lot of fun. In the comics, Michonne becomes romantically involved with the leader of the Kingdom but I’m thinking Carol will take her place now since Michonne’s with Rick (taking the place of Andrea in the comics).
-- Who died? I think it’s likely to still follow the comic. But let’s see.
It’s not Rick or Carl b/c Negan mentions that if Carl acts up to take his other eye and feed it to Rick. Nice.
Maggie? Why would they make Maggie deathly ill, only to kill her with a bat? It’s not Maggie.
Daryl? Same -- why shoot him, only to kill him in a slightly different way? IF Daryl ever dies, you know he’ll go out in a blaze of glory, saving someone. He won’t die like this.
Abraham? I think he may not be long for this world (Denise gets his death in the comics) but he’s a secondary character at best and his death would have little emotional impact.
Sasha? Same as Abraham.
Aaron? We’ve seen precious little of Aaron this season to the point where I forget he’s there. Which is a shame b/c I love the character. But nah, he’s far too minor to kill this way.
Michonne? Not a chance. She’s not just one of the main characters, but she has the plot-armor of being Rick’s main squeeze.
Eugene? Secondary character who, despite leaving cliffnotes, is needed in the upcoming battles.
Rosita? Who cares about Rosita? Not even Abraham.
Glenn. He swings... he hits... HOME RUN.
Rickface!!!!! The best non-eyerolling eyeroll ever. Yes, Morgan, tell us more about how all life is precious.
The Walking Dead s6e15 EAST
I’ve read a lot of people saying this episode was boring. I couldn’t disagree more... TWD has never really been about zombie-killing 24/7. TWD is about people and it’s in the quieter episodes that the characters grow and change.
But this episode was a little frustrating because the characters acted hasty and when characters act hasty, shit goes wrong. Daryl is overcome by guilt over Denise’s death -- feeling that if he had just killed Dwight & Co back in the burned forest, Denise would be alive and well. He takes off on a wild revenge scheme. Glenn, Michonne and Rosita go after him.
Carol is discovered to be missing and so Rick and Morgan go off after her. I think in a way, Morgan feels responsible for her leaving. For being the annoying-as-fuck angel on her shoulder reminding her of all the people she’s killed and inspiring the kind of guilt and self-loathing that caused her to leave. But if anything, she’s doing the responsible thing -- the thing MORGAN himself should do. If you cannot protect the ones you love then you should leave before your cowardice and inaction put them in harm’s way.
Meanwhile, Carol comes upon a group of Saviors and TAKES THEM THE FUCK OUT LIKE A BEAST. But... unlike her, she leaves a few of them alive. Conflicted, once again.
And in the conversations between Rick and Morgan we see how Rick has grown as a character, which we haven’t had a chance to dwell on, really. Gone is Farmer Rick. Gone is the Rick who banished Carol. In fact the Rick of today would have applauded her actions. And he sees her as family (though I might argue he always did).
But in the end, Rick goes back to Alexandria (good idea b/c leaving Alexandria w/o ALL THE BADASSES was a BAD idea) and lets Morgan go after her -- to appease his conscience, if nothing else. Will he find her? And who will she be when he does?
And then Daryl gets shot. Well... I’m skipping over a lot but essentially Glenn and Michonne and Rosita try to convince Daryl to give up his mad hunt for Dwight and go back so they can plan something that might work better than some hairbrained attempt at revenge. And in the process, Glenn and Michonne get caught by Dwight and Co. And OF COURSE Dwight’s group flanks them and then someone off-camera shoots and Daryl is hit. Is this the end of Daryl? I really doubt it.
Oh and Maggie gets a haircut.
Random Thoughts (MILD COMIC SPOILERS TO FOLLOW):
- In the comics, Maggie does cut her hair but it’s when they’re just leaving the farm, so that’d be back in season 2 in the TV series timeline.
- If you are pregnant and start to miscarry -- will the fzombiefetus be able to gum its way out? Would this make quick and easy abortions like THE MOST IMPORTANT THING EVER? Pro-choice now and forever, y’all.
- The guy at the barn who was looking for his horse (so he said) -- he was wearing full body armor. Comic readers like me will speculate that he isn’t one of the Saviors at all -- but from another group called The Kingdom. And just you fucking wait till we meet their leader. I CANNOT WAIT.
- I am still wondering who is going to get killed in the finale. Will they have saved Glenn so many times only to kill him? (That would be one cheap fucking trick.) Will Daryl get shot and live, only to die in the finale? Will Maggie have the most short-lived haircut ever??? I still think Abraham and Maggie are on the chopping block... but at this point, who knows? I do feel strongly that we actually won’t find out until NEXT SEASON. Which will suck.
