To anyone else like me who was blown away by The Sixth Commandment, I highly recommend the second episode of Rev. that features charismatic preacher 'Darren'. He's the comedy version of Ben Field.

I'm so glad that these two portrayals of virtue-signalling psychopaths exist because they are the closest thing I've ever seen on film or TV to the person who targeted me in my twenties. One day I'll magically become a great writer and then he'll be sorry.

Feeling charitable. Do you think I should give Sarah Phelps’s Agatha Christie adaptations another chance?

I did like And Then There Were None, the only good one. I did try with the Pale Horse, I put everything I had into it, but in the end it just didn’t make any sense. Like literally there was no explanation about what happened. Plus the assassination of Mark’s character... And I cannot get past the change of the murderer on Ordeal by Innocence. So idk... it’s just that ABC Murders I guess. I never said John Malkovich’s Poirot was bad, it was the writing that was bad. 

I once saw a tweet from Sarah Phelps, about the TV show Luther, which went something like: “and you thought my stuff was fucked up”. Except Luther IS supposed to be dark and gritty. Agatha Christie isn’t--which is why so many male writers scoffed at her. (Raymond Chandler.) The word you most see people associate with Agatha is “cosy”. (Although not every single one of her books is cosy, just most of them.) Nothing Phelps wrote is cosy. ATTWN is dark, obvs, maybe that’s why she managed not to completely fuck it up, but then there’s not much about ATTWN that you can fuck up. 

She’s also, I suspect, the reason why the official Agatha Christie Facebook page blocked me. I spoke negatively about her... but then, they’re ok with so many people trashing Branagh’s Poirot, whom I like... depends on what Phelps has on them, I suppose... she must be high up at BBC or be connected to someone high up at the BBC, as she’s in no way qualified to adapt Agatha Christie, she admits to never having read her, she used to write for Eastenders (a trashy, idiotic soap) and thinks she’s being edgy when she inserts f-bombs into Agatha Christie’s adaptations. So I don’t know...

A Mission Impossible (1996) Appreciation Post

When I think about MI ’96, I think a lot about the aesthetic and stylistic choices it made  (how I’ve been chasing that high ever since) Allow me to enumerate some of those things in another list formatted post:

Sound: The movie’s comfort with total silence. not a beat pause. No a music drop and then a rising crescendo for triumph. The deeply uncomfortable *cough cough* *sniff sniff* silence. You never get the sense that the movie is desperate to fill the space, point in fact it thrives on your discomfort. As a viewer of any cloth, you know its likely that Ethan Hunt is gonna come out of this, but you really ask yourself how far the team pulls before the rubberband snaps.  Hearing Luther talk near the sound sensor makes you want to jump out of your skin…. The suspense. The urgency. Donloe is coming. He’s coming but they can’t move at any pace except the one they set. Because if it’s not the decibel monitor, it’s the heat sensor, if it’s not the heat sensor it’s the motion sensor, and if it’s not any of that it’s the fucking knife! The one thing we weren’t even worried about! 

Space: The claustrophobic & contained nature of space need to be talked about. An all white room so vast and sleek- yet so small. Max’s car, the diner, the elevator shaft, the train cars, the phone booths. The safe house too. There’s all this space around each, but the amount that the characters are allowed to occupy as is narrow. It’s paramount that they take up as little space as possible to pull off the NOC List heist. The sets themselves do a lot of work, but we have to give ms. camera her dues. which brings me to my next ‘S’; 

Style: motherfuckin dutch tilts baybee!!! You get two (2) things out of their use as a technique:  (1) a sense of urgency for Ethan and Sarah when they’re under the elevator. One wrong move and they’re crushed, the camera accommodates and gets some foreshadowing in on what happens to Jack from a top down perspective and (2) the sense Ethan’s entire world has been tipped on its axis when Kittredge drops the big bomb in the diner scene. It’s as shocking for him as it is for us that *it was all a trap*. 

The first Mission Impossible movie was made with a film style that doesn’t? really exist anymore? I think that’s a bit of a shame, really. Then again, I’m glad the time of grossly framed pat-downs and “Ethan fucked my wife” allegations have passed. Claire might’ve aided and abetted the slaughter of her teammates, but fuck you for treating her like a piece of meat anyway @Director.

#Mission Impossible #Ethan Hunt #Luther Stickell #Sarah Davies #Jack Harmon #Mission Impossible: I #Brian DePalma you better put them hands up b/c I’m fixin to smack the shit out you #*doesn’t exist = generally not utilized in non-indie film circles or not utilized as effectively so as to be worth remembering these days. #MI: I has a lot going for it but later MI entries at LEAST acknowledge that women are people #vault scene my love… Luther... The only bitch I’ve ever trusted. Only bitch I’ll ever trust. #sneak suit I luv uuuu. Wish you had more time in the franchise. #@Jim Phelps I hope you & your antiquated ass are roasting in hell #Mission: impossible

I know I thought the Dublin Murders series was only so-so but I would still sell my soul for a The Secret Place/The Trespasser adaptation. Give me Moran and Conway onscreen pleeeeeeease.

women's sports appreciation post:

this is sarah sjöström

she just won her fifth wold championship gold medal in a row in 50m butterfly and 15 minutes later set a world record in the semi-finals for 50m freestyle.

she now has 20 individual medals from long course world championships, which is only matched by michael phelps. if she takes the 50m freestyle gold tomorrow, she will beat him.

she is the only woman to ever swim 50m butterfly in less than 25 seconds, a feat she has accomplished 17 times. her world record, 24.43, is therefore more than half a second faster than any other woman has ever swam this distance. she currently holds four long course world records: 100m and 50m butterfly and freestyle. she managed her first world record (and second, the next day) when she was just 15 (100m butterfly).

The cast includes Jacob Ifan as William Carey, Kemi-Bo Jacobs as Queen Katherine, Alex Kingston as Lady Elizabeth, Peter Losasso as Francis Weston, Freya Mavor as Anne Boleyn, Lily Nichol as Jane Parker, Lucy Phelps as Mary Boleyn, and Andrew Woodall as the Duke of Norfolk.

The flaw in the argument against trans people in sports is that sports are already dominated by 'biological advantages.' The idea of generally equal competitors succeeding on skill alone is a fantasy. Look at our most widely decorated olympians. Usain Bolt did not become the fastest man on the planet by training hard, he started training because he was already biologically inclined to it. Michael Phelps isn't built with long arms and hyper-flexible chest joints because he swam every day, he started swimming because his body happened to be built to reward it.

So when Becky the highschooler hits six feet tall by age fifteen, she's praised and told she should try basketball. Her uncommon deviance from the average is seen as an opportunity. But when Sarah the trans girl wants to compete - even if she's shorter and slower than Becky - she's accused of having an unfair advantage over her fellow women. The argument for fairness does not work because fairness in sports does not exist in the first place.

This double standard further falls apart when you stop thinking of trans people as hypotheticals. Few people actually believe that any random person can become a successful athlete. Odds are, no matter how much you train, you would not be able to match the top competitors that have an actual biological advantage via the genetic lottery. Trans people are the same way: we come in just as many different body types as cis people. For every trans woman that's built perfectly for basketball, there are thousands more who would be average at best. That's no different than cis women. On top of that, hormone transitioning brings trans people's physical ability close to a cis person's of the same gender.

When a trans woman athlete loses nineteen games in the woman's division, no one says a word. But when she wins one, everyone starts questioning if it's unfair. The biological advantage myth is based on nothing but transphobic double standards and it's irritating how common it is even among self-described cis allies.
