Pre-apocalypse news items

in “Anaconda”, 7x08 of The 100

Newscaster:

"President Wallace's administration declared the extremist environmentalist group known as the Tree Crew (...) who (...) the national (...) the environment (,,,)" (the second part is unclear as it’s covered by dialogue)

"United States declared a public health alert in response to the Russian Ankovirus outbreak..." (the screen shows the title “RUSSIAN ANKOVIRUS SPREADS” with a photo of a group of people with face masks)

“...above 110 degrees” (title on screen: “DEADLY HEAT WAVE”. with the other title, GLOBAL WARMING, seen in the background)

“The 11 billionth child was born this morning in the Wayne County internment camp...” (title on screen: “WORLD’S 11 BILLIONTH CHILD BORN”

“Today marks the one-year anniversary of the banishment (..) Becca Franko. After creating the world’s first sentient artificial intelligence program, the reclusive billionaire and owner of this network made her last public appearance. She is rumored to be aboard her space station Polaris, working on a project that her legion of devotees...”

(Becca is called “missing tech tycoon” in the title of this news item we see on screen. The network’s logo is her Infinity Symbol. One of the pictures used is the cover of the magazine we saw in Josephine’s memory in 6x07.

The other brief news items seen on screen are also quite interesting:

"...brain transplant successfully performed in Bangalore" (How would that work, since a person who has a functioning brain is still alive, so..? Uh... does that mean what I think it means?)

"Dubai's Alpha Centauri Group debuts the first orbital hotel, offering..."

another news item we don't see, it ends with "...concerns"

"Wyoming joins 32 other states in legalizing the recreation uses of psilocybin mushrooms"

“...Congress's negotiations on economic relief finds an impasse amidst violent riots..."

So, ALIE was one year old when she destroyed the world.

The magazine cover of Becca used here must have been several years old at the time of the apocalypse, as the issue was new at the time when Josephine was thinking of whether to join her family in the Eligius 3 mission - and she and the rest of the Mission Team Alpha were on Sanctum 7 years before the apocalypse. Another cover story from the same time was Diyoza’s capture. For comparison, 6x07:

108: Project Moon Base

Saying ‘fuck this movie’ doesn’t seem like enough, really. Please take a moment and picture the full Mormon Tabernacle Choir singing it to the tune of Handel’s Hallelujah Chorus. That should about do it. I’m gonna say ‘fuck’ an awful lot in this review, like even more than I usually do. I really hate this movie.

This was a very moon episode. After a couple of dull and suspenseless episodes of Radar Men from the Moon, we get on to Project Moon Base. In the far future year of 1970, the Enemies of Freedom are working to destroy the UN’s space program. To do this, they kidnap a Dr. Wernher and replace him with a lookalike, who is ordered to go to the atomic-armed space station and destroy it in a suicide mission. He’ll have crew-mates on his rocket, though – and Major Moore and space program legend Colonel Briteis aren’t going to let him complete his mission without a fight.

Wow, space spy capers and secret plots! It sounds so exciting when I write it down! Too bad this movie is actually so dismally fucking cheap and boring. The KGB apparently works out of a nicely decorated living room somewhere, and the Spacom offices aren’t much better. Everything is bare walls, clean tables and desks, and giant clocks on the walls, and none of it resembles a place people actually work in. The actors all look like they’d really prefer to be anywhere else and recite their lines at a fast clip that suggests they’re just trying to get this ordeal over with. Given the characters they were being asked to play, I feel for them.

And then there’s the stuff that’s just fucking surreal, like the skullcaps or propane-tank-headed spacesuits that wouldn’t have been out of place in an episode of Rocky Jones: Space Ranger. Or the fact that the first ‘suspicious’ thing the fake Dr. Wernher does is support the wrong baseball team. Or the annoying reporter whose name is Polly Prattles (I guess to imply that she endlessly ‘parrots’ everything she’s told?) and who dresses like a disco ball!

About the only thing that really earns any points is that the effects people made a commendable effort to be realistic. Stuff like the lunar rocket and the frisbee-shaped space station are intended to look practical rather than future-y, and there’s a discussion of orbital mechanics (though it’s confusing and useless to the plot). Navigation information refers to bright stars like Fomalhaut and Polaris. Microgravity is mentioned and there’s even a pretty neat shot where characters walk on the ceilings with magnetic-soled boots! I’m also impressed that they actually filmed some miniatures for their rocket takeoff scene, instead of using the same stock footage we’ve seen in fifty other films.

That’s only a fraction of the movie, though. The other ninety-eight percent or so I absolutely despise from the very bottom of whatever twisted black abomination remains of my soul, and the reason why is the fucking characters.

The first characters we meet are the villains, although calling them ‘characters’ seems like a stretch. I’m not entirely sure who any of these people are or who they’re working for… I’m gonna keep calling them the KGB for lack of a better descriptor. They’re bland men in bland suits who behave as if destroying the capitalist west is just their day job – the bald bellhop guy may say it’s a twenty-four-hour job, but I bet these guys are out of that hotel room the moment the clock clicks to five pm. Even the guy posing as Dr. Wernher isn’t very interesting. Shouldn’t at least one of these people have some kind of motivation besides getting paid to do this? What happened to revenge, or fanatical loyalty to an ideal, or desperation to protect a family who’ll be killed if you don’t comply?

Weirdly, it’s the fake Dr. Wernher who is the closest thing we’re given to a POV character! We follow him into the hotel to take over from the real scientist, and them learn about the space program in tandem with him. If not for the opening crawl I’d be wondering if we’re supposed to root for this guy.

Our so-called ‘heroes’ have some more personality, but those personalities are the furthest thing from likable. First there’s Major Moore, a big sulky baby whose masculinity is threatened by Briteis outranking him. When he finds out he’s been cut from the mission in her favour he whines, and when he finds out he’s been assigned as her co-pilot he whines more because now he’s got to take orders from her. At the end when they marry, he is promoted to Brigadier General mostly so that he’ll outrank his wife!

Briteis herself is no better – we see a few sides of her and they’re all terrible. She pisses and moans about not wanting to interact with Moore, either, and then engages in passive-aggressive dick-measuring contests with him while the two of them are supposed to be flying a spacecraft and saving the free world. You almost can’t blame him for his jealousy when she takes every possible opportunity to rub things in his face. When things go wrong she manages to land on the moon, but then becomes a breathless damsel in distress, leaving Moore to make all the decisions… and then when they’re saved, she reverts right back to whining.

(Yes, by the way, the non-MST3K edit does show them actually landing, and no, it's not very exciting.)

The General in charge of these two is an ass, as well. He basically guilts Moore into accepting an assignment he doesn’t want, and when Briteis protests it as well, he tells her to shut up and then threatens to spank her. These people are supposed to be members of the military, an organization that is associated with rigid discipline, efficient organization, and a strict chain of command, and yet they display less professionalism than kids at a lemonade stand. Jesus Christ, how about we just let the bad guys take over the world? They at least have some fucking dignity.

The moment we discover Briteis is a woman is supposed to be a big surprise, since the characters have carefully avoided any gendered language so far – this seems to hint that we are looking at a future where equality of the sexes has been achieved, but what we see after that quickly disabuses us of the notion. Not only is Colonel Briteis treated like a misbehaving child in spite of her rank, but we’re told that the only reason women are allowed in the space program is to save weight – though not in the case of Prattles, who is told to her face that she’s too fat to go!

In questioning Briteis about how she pilots the spacecraft, Wernher actually treats her with more respect in her expertise than any other character. Are we sure we’re not rooting for this guy?

Of course the idea of Moore taking Briteis with him to set up the communications relay instead of Wernher never even comes up, despite the fact that she must be infinitely more qualified and much less likely to try to kill him. This whole sequence is weirdly mis-used. We’re expecting Wernher to either try to sabotage things somehow, or for Moore to believe he will do so and a fight to result. I guess it’s more realistic, seeing as how the survival of both men depends on the relay, that they cooperate successfully – but if that were supposed to be the case, then why does Wernher die in a total accident, falling from a rock and cracking his helmet open? It doesn’t resolve anything, it’s just a quick and lazy way of getting rid of the character so we can focus on Moore and Briteis and I don’t wanna focus on them.

Wernher’s death also leaves the audience sitting through the last part of the movie without any idea why we’re still watching this. The villain’s dead, so why isn’t the movie over? Even if we didn’t hate Moore and Briteis, we’ve actually known Wernher for longer and the movie was set up as if his mission and its defeat were the main storyline. If he’d been dealt with in a more satisfying manner, either by changing loyalties, or by being killed or recaptured in a way that felt like a victory, it would be easier to move on with the rest of the story.

The final ‘fuck you’ from this movie’s sexual politics is the revelation at the end that the President of the United States is also a woman. You know what that means? That means the writers thought they really were showing us a gender-equal future! They honestly believe that women in positions of power really will freak out and automatically turn to the men for help when things go wrong. They seriously think that women holding high ranks in the military will be threatened with spankings by their superior officers and that’s completely okay. And then when you watch the movie again, the scene where Briteis tells the General that the President has ordered Polly Prattles be admitted just looks like a bunch of girls ganging up on a boy they don't like.

Quite a bit of effort went into the effects in Project Moon Base and into its idea of the future (note how they predicted cordless phones!), but it was all wasted on bad actors, shitty sets, and a script that feels like a first draft. Nothing in the film comes across as properly concluded – not the space mission, not Wernher, and certainly not the love story between Moore and Briteis. Fuck this movie. Fuck, fuck, fuck this fucking movie. Fuck everyone who made it, fuck MST3K for bringing it to my attention, and fuck me for watching it again! Fuck.
