Scream 6 Samara Weaving speculation/predictions

Wanted to type out my thoughts around Samara Weaving in Scream 6 and what kinda character/role she’s gonna play since she’s one of the confirmed cast that hasn’t shown up in a previous movie.

Now I’m really not the most knowledgeable on Weaving and all her roles and stuff, but the movies I’ve watched with her in it are Guns Akimbo and Ready or Not both from 2019, and I’m aware of the horror franchise? (can I call it a franchise if there’s only 2 movies) The Babysitter. I feel like it’s important to note the kinda role she plays in all three of these since they’re more of her recent and well known works, especially Ready or Not, as this film was directed by Matt Bettinelli-Olpin, Tyler Gillet and Guy Buswick, directors and writers of Scream 5, and ofc scream 6 as well.

To kinda simplify her character in Guns Akimbo, she’s crazy and violent- and although I haven’t watched the babysitter, I know she’s the main antagonist and the leader of a cult so I assume her character has more or less similar traits. And I guess these are traits that would be indicative of being cast as ghostface.

But she’s a bit different or Ready or Not, being a much more innocent character and the final girl of the movie, but at the end, after she’s been through all the bullshit she’s been through, she finds a bit of schadenfreudic humour in all of the people who tried to kill her being blown to bits- in a way that would feel a little unhinged if we didn’t follow her through all the same bullshit throughout the movie.

So I have no idea how much influence the previously mentioned directors and writer have in the casting, but it feels like if they chose Samara themselves, it was most likely influenced by them working with her in Ready or Not- as a major supporting actor from that movie (Henry Czerny) is also gonna be in Scream 6.

Like it feels like she has a lot of pontential as ghostface cause she’s a lot of fun when she plays the antagonist- but it feels like since she’s mainly known for playing antagonists that this might be another fast one being pulled on us lolol and she might be set up as a red herring character.

Similar to the way Dylan Minette, and more famously, Drew Barrymore had been cast and killed off fairly quickly, something unexpected as they were much more well known than their fellow cast members, there’s a possibility that Weaving’s character could be set up as a red herring character, using the audience’s experience with her as someone unhinged to push their suspicion further.

I’m pretty much excited anyway bc ik she’d make a sick ghostface but also is amazing at horror acting?? (Idk if I should call it that but what I mean is like- specifically acting like completely terrified and doing chase scenes and the like)

But yeah I literally just typed this all out as a bit of an infodump so if u actually read all of it I’m so suprised and very proud of u tysm <3

Decorative Sunday

Album de la décoration from Milwaukee Public Library

This week we are highlighting a beautiful Art Nouveau decorative art portfolio held by our friends over at Milwaukee Public Library’s Central Library. It is titled Album de la décoration edited by A. Calavas, published in 1900 in Paris by Librairie des Arts décoratifs. This portfolio features beautiful floral motifs that would have been used as inspiration for designers of various decorative objects like textiles, tapestries, ceramics, wallpaper, and paintings. There were many artists that contributed to the portfolio, including L. H. Bonvallet, Henry Lambert, Henri Gillet, and G. Lebart.

A sampling of illustrations from Album de la décoration can be found online at MCAD Library’s Flickr account.

If you are local to the Wisconsin you can see all three volumes of Album de la décoration in person at Milwaukee Public Library’s Central Library. Their MPL Special Collections department also recently started an Instagram account to highlight materials from their extensive collections including art, rarities, local history, and archives. Give them a follow at mplspecialcollections on Instagram!

Movie Review in 700 Words or Less: Ready or Not (2019)

I’ve never been married before, but I’ve heard a lot of stories from my friends involving their rather interesting relationships with their spouses’ families. Ready or Not - directed by Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillet also known as Radio Silence - explores the hardships (and perils) associated with marrying into a wealthy family. When Grace (Samara Weaving) marries into the Le Domas family, who have made millions off of selling card games and board games and acquiring professional sports teams, she learns she has to participate in a time-honored Le Domas family tradition: Game Night. The rules are simple: Grace must draw a card and whichever game is listed on the card (Old Maid, chess, etc.), that is the game she will play alongside the other Le Domas family members that include her new husband, Alex (Mark O’Brien), patriarch and matriarch, Tony and Becky (Henry Czerny and Andie MacDowell), their other children Daniel and Emilie (Adam Brody and Melanie Scrofano), Tony’s sister Helene (Nicky Guadagni) and Daniel and Emilie’s spouses, Fitch and Charity (Kristian Bruun and Elyse Levesque). When Fitch and Charity joined the family, they had to play Old Maid and chess, respectively, but when Grace draws the Hide and Seek card, she enters, unwittingly, into a game of cat and mouse.

Soon Grace is running around the creepy and cool Le Domas mansion trying to avoid being hunted down and sacrificed to Satan by her new in-laws. While Grace is the heroine of the movie, if you are expecting her to take down each member of the Le Domas clan à la assassin Beatrix Kiddo in Kill Bill or the survivalist Erin in You’re Next, that is not what Ready or Not is all about. Instead, Grace is like us, the viewer, and a lot of her choices are made out of fear and often times result in her being shot in the hand or stabbed in the shoulder. Even though Grace is not the total kickass badass many were expecting her to be, it is quite entertaining watching her outsmart the members of the Le Domas family all the while donning a bloodied wedding dress.

Ready or Not’s script is pretty solid, but my favorite part of the film is actually the characters. Each member of the Le Domas family, even the kids, are given a unique POV which influences every move they make. The film explores wealth and how it affects the people who have it. For Aunt Helene, her husband was killed and sacrificed the last time the Hide and Seek card was drawn. Her view is if she can survive losing the love of her life, so can her nephew Alex. Becky is a bit more sympathetic towards Grace since she, too, married into the family – but make no mistake, she will do anything in her power to protect her family, even if that means sacrificing Grace. Daniel and Emilie are jaded by their wealth and use alcohol and drugs, respectively, to cope. Then there’s the Tony. Tony’s wealth comes from his parents and grandparents. He was born into wealth and has greatly benefited from that wealth. He will stop at nothing to maintain that wealth – even if it means hurting his children in the process. Yeah – they’re all awful, awful people but at least there’s a method behind their madness. Love them or hate them (I kind of love them), it’s refreshing to see fleshed out characters in a movie.

It goes without saying, I absolutely freaking love this movie. If Clue and Hunger Games got together and had a baby, that baby would be Ready or Not. Samara Weaving is a great protagonist and you are rooting for her every second of the movie. Perhaps one of my favorite parts of the movie is the ending. I won’t spoil it for those of you who have not seen the film but let’s just say it’s one of the most perfect endings to a film I have seen in quite some time. If you are seeking the perfect movie for the holidays, I highly suggest this movie. I promise you will not be able to hide the smile on your face.

Ready or Not Review

Ready or Not comes from the creators of V/H/S, Devil’s Due, and Southbound and is directed by Matt Bettinelli-Olpin & Tyler Gillet with the script written by Guy Busick and R. Christopher Murphy. The film stars Samara Weaving, Mark O’Brien, Adam Brody, Henry Czerny, and Andie MacDowell. The film follows a recently wed bride Grace (Weaving) who marries into a rich family and soon ends up being hunted by her new in-laws in a sinister game of hide and seek. The concept for this story is ingenious and I give credit to the writers for coming up with this unique, fun, and twisted tale on what we used to play when we were children. Ready or Not is a welcome surprise into the horror genre that mixes elements from past films with some excellent black comedy that makes this film a late summer gem. 

Samara Weaving is awesome and kicks so much ass in this film. This actress is a star and is currently making a name for herself in the genre space with this film, The Babysitter, and Mayhem. If you haven’t checked either of those films out do so, she shines bright in those films. Weaving continues to do no wrong and shines in all the scenes she’s in displaying a wide variety of emotions from start to finish. The supporting cast that round out Weaving are enjoyable as well and each have their moments to shine in this film with some having great comedic moments. 

Ready or Not moves at a fast pace and it doesn’t stop once the action gets going. The story is tight and never meanders or feels like the film is slowing down at any points. I appreciate what the directors and writers did with that as this could have been a concept that proved silly and campy, but the filmmakers made this film better than it should be. Any real issues with this film are miniscule as I had a blast with Ready or Not from start to finish. Ready or Not is sure to be a crowd pleaser and possible cult hit for those that watch it and for genre fans like myself it’s refreshing to see a new and fun concept work so well in the horror space.

An extract from ‘Matisse: The Chapel at Vence’

“The artist’s conscience is a pure, faithful mirror in which he must be able to reflect his work every day … The abiding responsibility of the creator towards himself and towards others is not a hollow concept: by assisting the universe to construct itself the artist maintains his dignity.” ~ Letter from Henri Matisse to André Verdet, 1954

Introduction: The Chapel of the Rosary, Vence

Matisse compared the Chapel of the Rosary in Vence to a book whose pages are to be inscribed using brushes and black Indian ink on white ceramic tiles, enhanced by the colour of the stained-glass windows. Beginning in 1932 with an edition of the poems of Mallarmé, Matisse illustrated a number of different books; their pages all share the same characteristic architectural space constructed through the artist’s choice of typography and graphic design – pen and Indian ink, or sepia and cut paper coloured with gouache. As in the chapel, the pages of these books are overlaid with patterns and this serves to accentuate their luminous quality and their presence.

In creating the chapel, Matisse went beyond the specific religious ritual for which it is the framework: he was also motivated by his personal view of the archetypes represented by light and space. The boundless white inside the chapel represented the infinite, as well as man’s spiritual dimension and mystical nature. The chapel is an enclosed space built around the idea of man’s potential salvation; this is symbolised by the disproportionate height and verticality of the chapel’s bell tower, which extends upwards towards the sky, and by the brightness from the sky that enters the chapel through its windows. The building represents an embodied metaphor for our efforts to escape from material and spiritual constraints and return to a state of transcendence; it does this without destroying the identity of the person who comes to it to pray or to visit – instead it assuages their suffering.

Vence

In March 1943 an area of Nice was destroyed by bombing. Fearing that some of the city’s blocks of flats would be taken over by the Germans, Matisse temporarily abandoned his studio apartment in the Régina building in Nice’s Cimiez neighbourhood and moved to Vence, a village in the countryside just outside the city. There he occupied a villa named Le Rêve, in which he remained until the end of 1948. As he did with all his homes, Matisse also used the villa as a studio. He produced a large body of work there, work that was noteworthy for the originality of the technique used, and in particular Matisse’s method of composing his image by laying out the colour in flat planes. This technique characterises the so-called ‘Vence period’ in Matisse’s work. As usual, Matisse was completely dedicated to his work at this time, and organised his day around sessions of drawing and painting. The garden of Le Rêve was a major source of inspiration. The artist filled many notebooks with drawings of plant forms, and he would work on a pattern and its structure until it became a part of the fabric of his visual language. Through the simplification of their graphic forms, leaves and branches became ‘signs’. He said: ‘An artist must take possession of Nature. He must identify himself with Nature’s rhythm through applied effort; this will help him acquire the mastery which, later, will enable him to express himself in his own language.’ Matisse viewed nature as the guardian of the secret of creation. He wished to be penetrated by the beauty of nature so that his art might be lively yet at the same time accessible to others.

In addition to his studies of nature, the serious operation Matisse had undergone in 1941 and his encounter in 1942 with Monique Bourgeois, who was at the time a nurse but was later to become a Dominican nun, added spiritual depth to his art and inspiration while he was in Vence. “At the moment I go every morning to say my prayers, pencil in hand; I stand in front of a pomegranate tree covered in blossom, each flower at a different stage, and I watch their transformation. Not in fact in any spirit of scientific enquiry, but filled with admiration for the work of God. Is this not a way of praying? And I act in such a way (although basically I do nothing myself as it is God who guides my hand) as to make the tenderness of my heart accessible to others.”

The development of his drawing, and the amplification of his expressiveness through colour and design, created a new pictorial realm. Particularly during 1947, Matisse’s interpretation of interiors that were open to the outside world via the window foreshadowed the approach he was to adopt within the chapel.4 With their coloured motifs, the chapel’s stained-glass windows use the contrast between transparency and opacity to mediate the relationship between the inner religious world and the world outside. Additionally, the representations of St Dominic, the Virgin and Child and the Way of the Cross are simplified to such a degree that their lines have become ‘signs’. With the chapel, Matisse’s work acquired a new dimension, infused with far greater awareness of the spiritual grandeur of artistic creation of all kinds. “Most painters … look for an external light to see clearly into their own nature. Whereas the artist or the poet possesses an inner light that transforms objects, creating a new world with them, a sentient, organised and living world, a sure sign of divinity in itself, the reflection of divinity.”

Matisse moved into the Villa Le Rêve in 1943. In February the historian of art and literature, Louis Gillet, recorded the artist’s words, as reported above. During this wartime period, while recovering from his operation of 1941, Matisse was soothed and supported by the landscape of Vence and the plants in his garden. Destiny was to lead him to create the Chapel of the Rosary for the Dominican nuns at the nearby Foyer Lacordaire.
