BLOGTOBER 10/25/2022: SCREAM FOR HELP

This is a fucking doozy.

Tom Holland wrote this picture about a girl in trouble that, in some ways, will be familiar to his fans: Like Andy in CHILD'S PLAY and Charlie in FRIGHT NIGHT, Christie (Rachael Kelly) uncovers a horrible secret right in her own neighborhood, but none of the adults will believe her. Christie's handsome, charismatic stepfather Paul (David Allen Brooks) is plotting to murder her and her wealthy mother Karen (Marie Masters); all Christie has to do is prove it, which is easier said than done. In the process of trying, she uncovers a multilayered conspiracy, forcing her and her mother to team up against a gang of dangerous psychopaths.

My husband goes, "She's on the diving team."

So, that's all well and good. Tom Holland sets up what feels like a pretty solid, if overly involved teen thriller befitting the Lifetime Network…but the thing is, SCREAM FOR HELP is directed by Michael Winner, of DEATH WISH 1-3 fame. Which means that, in execution, this is a sordid, sadistic exploitation movie that crosses several lines in short order. When Christie realizes that Paul has been setting up deadly accidents meant for her mother, she begins to spy on him, and discovers that he is having a hot and heavy affair with a temptress named Brenda (Lolita Lesheim). Christie's mother won't believe her, and neither do her best friends, Janey (Sandra Clark) and her boyfriend Josh (Corey Parker). However, Josh eventually gets on board after Janey is gruesomely killed by a hit and run driver literally seconds after telling Christie that Josh knocked her up, and it feels like only seconds after that that Christie gives Josh her virginity in a disturbingly porny scene that makes you ask how old the actors are and if their parents knew they were making this movie. Raunchy sex is frequently interspersed with women getting smacked around violently, and you start to get a vivid sense of why Michael Winner has such a reputation for being an asshole. Eventually the whole thing devolves into a brutal home invasion scenario, with a gonzo ending that I thought had to be a dream, but which was not.

This is Rocco Sisto's first movie, whatever that means to ya.

I've focused on the discrepancy between Tom Holland's and Michael Winner's artistic sensibilities, but there is a third creator here who is just as responsible for making SCREAM FOR HELP into the bizarre monstrosity that it is: John Paul Jones, the bassist for Led Zeppelin. Jones provided the score for this movie, and while it is so over the top that it approaches the level of parody, it perfectly matches the film's sleazy, delirious tone. You kind of have to hear it to believe it, a combination of swingin' London swagger and scummy rock menace that is patently absurd, which is exactly what SCREAM FOR HELP deserves.

Obviously I don't have anything deep to say about this movie, and if I did, it might mean that I'm insane. It is definitely something to see, though, and it is recommended viewing for anyone who enjoys astonishment and confusion.

Reviewing Star Trek TNG - S3E23 "Sarek"

Finally, an episode title which can fit on one line.

THE PREMISE

Federation Ambassador Sarek (Mark Lenard once again) comes aboard the Enterprise to negotiate a treaty with the Legarans, after which he plans to retire. Sarek is accompanied by his second wife Perrin (Joanna Miles) and aides Ki Mendrossen (William Denis) and Sakkath (Rocco Sisto) who warn the crew that Sarek may be unable to attend to his usual duties due to his advancing age, and the crew only grow more suspicious when the ambassador starts to act strangely.

MY REVIEW

Nearly four seasons in and we finally get to acknowledge that TOS was a thing, since Gene Roddenberry was apparently adamant that this series should stand on its own... even though we had a cameo from Dr McCoy way back in the series' premiere. And the very next episode was just a rehash of a TOS episode, complete with an acknowledgement of that episode's events.

Gene Roddenberry kinda dropped the ball in this series, huh?

Also Spock got married. And it wasn’t to Kirk. Just wanted to get that on record.

ANYWAY, Picard is at least able to get Sarek to attend a classical music concert, during which the plot starts to thicken when Sarek sheds tears.

Now, Vulcan tears are usually reserved for long dramatic one-takes under the influence of viruses which complicate emotions, so we already know something's wrong.

But speaking of "The Naked Now," tempers begin to flare among the rest of the crew, starting with Geordi arguing with Wesley - Geordi says that he'll never get anywhere with his date that afternoon, while Wesley calls out Geordi for getting his women on the holodeck, confirming my suspicions that the rest of the crew will never let him live that down - and Dr Crusher actually slapping Wesley.

Though I'm surprised it took her this long, Dr Crusher herself is shocked at this behaviour, and when she reports it to Troi we find out that similar outbursts have been happening all over the ship, most notably with a full-on bar brawl in Ten Forward. I guess that was Guinan's day off?

Also, if a Star Trek bar brawl doesn't have a shady guy stealing drinks in the background, then is it even a Star Trek bar brawl?

With Sarek (and most of the crew) potentially being emotionally compromised, Picard is unsure if they can proceed with the negotiations. They deduce that Sarek is suffering from Bendii Syndrome (I really wish they could've come up with a better name - it sounds like another term for erectile dysfunction), a rare sickness which causes Vulcans over 200 years old to lose emotional control, and Sarek is unconsciously broadcasting his intense emotions to the rest of the crew. His aides had tried to help him control it, but they could only do so much. The main problem is that it'll take several days for them to confirm it, well after the negotiations.

Also they had brought aboard a slime pit earlier on to replicate the Legarans' home environment, and my original theory was that the Skittles-coloured substance was somehow influencing the mood of everyone on board. Fortunately the writers were above ripping off Ghostbusters 2. But it's not really a "Naked Now" situation either. I'm sure Data will be thrilled.

It's here that an otherwise passable plot starts to come into its own. Bendii Syndrome is obviously meant to be the Vulcan equivalent of dementia - and that's not me making assumptions, it's literally the condition they based it on - and it's good that they were able to handle this matter in a mature fashion.

Sarek of course denies the diagnosis, and his ensuing argument with Picard is a rare opportunity for Mark Lenard to do some properly emotional acting in the role, and he definitely makes the most of it.

It ends with Sarek realising his problem, and agreeing to mind meld with Picard to inherit the captain's emotional control, even if it would overwhelm Picard with Sarek's intense Vulcan emotions.

We all know what happened last time Picard had a meltdown.

youtube

(You have no idea how long it took me to find a version of this fucking clip which didn’t have SpongeBob in it.)

Picard is of course overwhelmed, and Patrick Stewart gets to show off his own acting talents as he finally lets loose the emotions that Sarek has been holding back for so long - namely his regret at never being able to show tenderness to Perrin, his first wife Amanda (who had passed away at this point - bear in mind that this series takes place about 80 YEARS after TOS) and Spock, who finally gets namedropped. It's probably the best scene in the episode, made even more impressive by the fact that Patrick Stewart did the whole thing in a single long shot which he nailed on the first take.

More importantly, we also get this meme format.

Meanwhile, the negotiations go off without a hitch, and without the pressure of the negotiations, Sarek is once again in full control of his emotions. Through the mind meld, their lives are now forever intertwined, with each carrying the best parts of the other with them. A surprising connection to be sure, but a welcome one.

So yeah. The plot is fine enough, with Sarek having an interesting new role to play aside from fanservice and his dynamic with Picard acting as a nice emotional core. Only problem is that whenever it isn't focused on either of them, the plot can kind of drag.

Also, why do half of the characters seem to pronounce it “Sah-rik?” I thought it was pronounced to rhyme with “Garak.” That’s how they pronounced it in TOS.

6/10 - Feels like it deserves to be better than it is.

Hello lovely Anon! Not at all a weird question, in fact I love this question, this was really fun to think about (even if it took a lot of thinking, as I haven’t actually thought about it before, at least in terms of face claims). Honestly, if I were to choose, I’d definitely prefer animation hands down (for several reasons). It was like a no-brainer for me to pick voice actors for Leikos and Scarlett, partially because animating them to pre-existing properties and really listening to the audio carved some cannon voices in my mind. Part of what makes the Never Talk To Strangers sequence from Red Riding Hood (1989) work really well as a prequel to Wolf Song (aside from the obvious connection of Little Red Riding Hood) is the similarity of the voices from the actors in that film to the singers in Omnia’s Wolf Song track. Which is why for Leikos’s voice I would HANDS DOWN and without hesitation pick Rocco Sisto, who is the actor behind Red Riding Hood (1989)’s wolf. Not only does he have experience playing a wolf in a Little Red Riding Hood adaptation, he is also a voice actor. And call it Stockholm Syndrome from the repeated times I have been listening to his voice while animating Leikos’s lipsyncs for the prequel, but I am in love with his voice. It’s deep and soothing and absolutely perf, I can listen to him talk all day. Here’s a clip of him talking. He will always be the cannon voice for Leikos in my mind <3 As for Scarlett, I would pick Brina Palencia. She is absolutely one of my favourite voice actors in anime and she has excellent range. I don’t need to say anymore, she’s also perf, look up her IMDB, if you like watching your anime in english dub, chances are you have heard her voice before. Alrighty, now here comes the hard part, face claims. I gave this a lot of thought and I’m not nearly as sure about these as I am about the voice actors I have listed so bear with me, haha. But if we’re going on pure aesthetics alone.... Rupert Friend as Leikos:

He’s like the closest actor I could think of that I feel can pull off Leikos’s look and facial structure (also I personally think he’s a very handsome boi, fight me). And Bella Heathcote as Scarlett:

I think she’s really pretty and I like her face shape AND she can pull off red hair and bangs, which is super important of course. So these are my choice voice actors and actors (sorry if this post is long). I’m pretty firm for my VA choices, haha, but I’m open to other face claim ideas you all may have. This was super fun to think about, thanks for asking and stay awesome, Anon~
