Newish Comics:

The Flash #7: The Linear Men? The Linear Men??? Si Spurrier, what is cooking in your brain and can you keep giving me a direct line to it? (I mean bringing the Linear Men in a series that also gave us Gold Beetle makes perfect sense because Rip would be so into her but wow. It looks like they've barely been used since Flashpoint too). Also it's fascinating watching the re-establishment of Max and Bart's relationship.

Barry seems to finally have risen out of his ennui a bit, only to notice Something Is Wrong With Linda and then immediately suspect (wrongly) it's Hartley. Still pretty sure Linda's main issue is PPD but it being imposed by an external source is certainly something.

Green Arrow #10: this is another issue that mostly exists for people to hug each other, while Williamson goes 'remember that these people had relationships?' Sean Izaakse's art is just so good in terms of drawing the memory backgrounds so well I can pick out the specific issues and storylines he used as references (Batman + Arsenal shoutout!)

Also, remember when Amanda Waller didn't put bombs in people's heads, she just very occasionally put explosive collars or wristbands on the most dangerous and/or irritating Suicide Squad members? (Like Captain Boomerang?) Because I do. I remember Suicide Squad 1987.

Batman: The Brave and the Bold #11: part of this is me just being contrary, I know, but I am extremely not convinced we are going to see Maps as an active Robin in a main title, given Kerschl is a Gotham Academy creator anyway, and she's currently getting appearances as Meridian over in Birds of Prey. Gotham Academy continuity is only about 1/4 linked to main book continuity. (Someone is going to try and point out 'they appeared in Robin War' or something but it was an active and new title then, and honestly, nobody writing most Bat titles cares about them. It's its own sub universe. Also this story has Bruce dating Isla MacPherson, something I guarantee will not be followed up anywhere else)

Also imagine being called Karl Kerschl and coming to DC to write? How much time does this poor man spend saying "no, not Kesel".

The Artemis story remains amazing and I am fully supportive of it retconning whatever character crimes it is currently trying to excuse as weird.

Also how did we get so unlucky as to have both a Bat Lash AND a Sgt Rock story in this issue?

Amazons Attack #6: and this tied things off nicely! Honestly for an event that didn't need to happen, Josie Campbell did well with it, featured a whole host of Wonder Woman characters that Tom King's barely interacting with, and added to some relationships between characters that needed additional work.

Alan Scott: The Green Lantern #5: I am sure this is a far more meaningful issue if you care deeply about Green Lantern lore. Also DELIGHTED that the JSA team up in this series actually happens on page rather than in the final splash like in Wesley Dodds: The Sandman. (Wesley Dodds is still the best of the three minis to me, but I'm happy here that we're going to get JSA backup).

The Warlord #45: Previously on Lost World of the Warlord (I said I would) Travis set out to find out what had happened to his daughter Jennifer. He goes back to the village of dwarfs and gets his old sword back (since he chucked Hellfire into a lake), and ends up fighting some Cyclops' that took several of the dwarves to eat. Tragically nothing particularly fun happens here (though a skeleton IS tied to a cross, the bondage isn't involving any characters I care about AND it's just a warning threat)

Also something weird went on with the lettering this issue where what I think were script directions ended up as text boxes for all the scene transitions. If it was a stylistic choice on Grell's part it's a particularly odd one.

Encino Man (1992)

This comedy film stars Brendan Fraser in his breakout role as a prehistoric caveman who finds himself in the 20th century after two high school nerds/best friends discover him frozen in a block of ice.

Other cast members include: Sean Astin as Dave Morgan, Pauly Shore as Stanley “Stoney” Brown, Megan Ward as popular girl (and Dave’s crush) Robyn Sweeney and Mariette Hartley and Richard Masur as Dave’s parents. Ke Huy Quan (future Oscar winner of Everything Everywhere All At Once) plays a small role as a computer geek.

Brendan Fraser, Sean Astin and Pauly Shore are a tight onscreen trio. Brendan Fraser may not have much dialogue (since he plays a Neanderthal-type role), but his physicality and insanely goofy tactics are exactly how he conveys an animalistic sense of curiosity and astonishment. Sean Astin (post-Goonies/pre-Lord of the Rings) not only has the attributes of a socially awkward dork, but he emphasizes his character’s desperation so strongly, you hope he eventually fits in with the crowd. Pauly Shore (who delivers spaced-out dialogue with a surfer accent) is totally far-out as a super chill BFF.

The dynamic between the three guys is basically the central theme of the story. Dave and Stoney each see an opportunity to finish high school with a bang with this particular caveman. However, Dave wants to be popular among his peers, whereas Stoney wants to introduce the radical outlook on societal change to their strange new friend. The caveman (given the name “Link”) in turn helps Dave and Stoney rediscover their own coolness.

The setting takes place in Encino, California during the grunge era of the early’90s. Simultaneously, the film contrasts the Stone Age with that particular time period. In other words, this movie literally depicts the evolution of mankind in comical fashion. Unlike the time back when cave dwellers played with primitive tools made from stone, the ‘90s were a time when teens would gather at public hangouts (hence Dave attempts to dig a swimming pool in his backyard), dress in loose yet stylish clothing and listen to varieties of music (specifically either from a Walkman or at concerts).

Speaking of tunes, the soundtrack contains a list of rock, hip hop, metal, electronic and pop hits from the 1990s along with some original songs. The track list includes: “Let’s Get Rocked” by Def Leppard, “I’m Too Sexy” by Right Said Fred, “Feed the Monkey” by Infectious Grooves (who appear as themselves in the prom scene) and “You’re Invited (But Your Friend Can’t Come)” to name a few. Cover versions of “Wild Thing”, “Stone Cold Crazy” and “Wooly Bully” are also heard.

Now, for people who might’ve had low opinions of this particular movie in the past, to me, Encino Man has achieved a significant cultural impact in its own right since it represents what it’s like to have fun and be your own person. All that said, I honestly recommend this wildly entertaining cult film to every dedicated fan of Brendan Fraser.

“PEACE OUT, BUUUD-DY!”

MAG ???: New Girl

Statement of Sean Palmer regarding an encounter with a new student in his Year 13 class. Original statement given October 14th, 2011. Audio recording by Kokushibiyo Yamai, Head Archivist of the Magnus Institute, London.

Statement begins.

The new girl in our class was weird. Not really in a ‘said weird things’ or ‘wore weird clothes’ way, but more of in a ‘didn’t quite belong in our class’ way. Of course, that’s no reason to single anyone out. After all, she transferred to our school in our final year of secondary school and said she moved to our little town all the way from Japan after a nasty custody battle between her parents, so it only made sense she didn’t quite fit in. In retrospect, it should have been suspicious that the accidents started just after she arrived, but at the time they were just that. Accidents.

We lived in an ‘everyone knows everyone’ town. One of my Year 5 teachers had babysat me when I was younger and a couple of my classmates’ parents had been friends in their school years. Generally, we didn’t get many new students. By our final year, all of my classmates were people I’d known since I was practically in diapers. Still, on occasion, people joined us. Roger Parsons moved in after his grandma died and left her house to their family in Year 4, I think. Zoe Newton moved in Year 6. I can’t remember if it was because her Dad was going through some weird, mid-life crisis that inspired him to move to the country or if that was Ned Hartley. They joined our school in the same year, so I get them mixed up sometimes.

Anyways, point is, word travels through town fast. If someone moves in, it's the talk of the town for at least two weeks and someone usually hosts a small party to welcome them in. This new girl seemed to fly under the radar and no one knew she was around until she showed up at school. She was smaller, maybe the second shortest in the class, and wore thick circular glasses that almost gave her a sort of bug-eyed look. Her hair was a stark white, something that my friend Eli said could be caused by stress or trauma. I’m not sure if that’s true but he said he’d read about it online and we sort of just accepted it as fact. She introduced herself as Kiyomi and insisted that we call her Kiyo, but never Kiki or any other variation of her name. Again, in retrospect, I never learned her last name. I suppose she never actually had one or didn’t care to go through the trouble of making one up.

In the first couple of weeks, having Kiyo around was completely normal. She wasn’t particularly social or antisocial, she sort of just hung around and chatted if we engaged with her. The more we got to know her, the more we enjoyed her presence and, eventually, we were inviting her to all our social gatherings as regular classmates would. Outside of school, she had a very cute and frilly style that was just as clean cut and neat as her uniform looked. Everything about her was just so clean and perfect, you’d wonder if she was a living doll at times.

Everything, except her shoes. For some reason, she always wore these beat up, old trainers that were practically falling apart at the seams. I think the soles were glued on in some places and a patch had been haphazardly sewn on the ankle of the right one. Honestly, they always looked two steps from just disintegrating on her feet. Worse than that, they were always filthy, as if she spent every morning running through muddy creeks or dragging them through animal pens. But, somehow, not an ounce of that dirt ended up on her pristine stockings or her perfectly pressed skirt. When I mentioned it to a classmate, he brushed it off without much regard and claimed he hadn’t even noticed them. It really seemed that I was the only one that found it odd. Even so, I befriended Kiyo and enjoyed chatting with her on the sidelines of parties when we ended up near each other.

The first accident occurred two months into school. Jacob Larson, a classmate of ours, had washed up beside a stream in the nearby woods after a particularly heavy rainstorm. He had apparently gone out to meet some buddies and took the woods as a shortcut. It was officially ruled an accident after his ankle was found to be broken and it was assumed that he made a misstep that sent him tumbling into the flash-flooding stream and left him to drown. The town was devastated, but an accident is an accident. There’s no one to blame, save for Jacob’s ignorance. At the time, I was too shocked by the news to think anything of how exceptionally muddy Kiyo’s shoes were the day he was found.

Next was Hollie Rhodes, a couple weeks later. She’d been found near the train tracks with one of her legs on the other side. Those of us that knew Hollie told the police that she had absolutely no reason to be around the train tracks, especially given how nasty the weather had been that night. Sarah Allen, her best friend, even told them that Hollie had made plans to come to her house to watch movies on the night of her death. Yet, the needle found on scene and the drugs found in Hollie’s system were enough to have it ruled as an accident, despite how much Sarah pleaded with them to explore the potential for foul play. By the end of the week, everyone had moved on from Hollie’s death, as if there had been no cause for concern. Even Sarah seemed to get over it.

Then Sarah died too. This one happened a month later and I really felt like I was the only one with some sense about it. Her body was in the woods. They were always in the damned woods and that never seemed to strike anyone as odd. Her head was entirely caved in with a tree resting atop it like it was meant to land there. Sure, it had been storming that night as well, and sure, trees fell when they were struck by lightning, but what were the odds of one falling so perfectly on Sarah’s head? The bloodstains on the actual tree almost seemed.. Painted on. As if someone had taken great care to decorate the scene to look like an accident. Not to mention, her ankle was broken too. I think her mother said it was shattered. How does tripping shatter an ankle? And why was I the only one that seemed to want to know?

After Sarah, I became much more outright with my suspicions of murder. I brought it up in so many conversations that my classmates started ignoring me. Even Kiyo, whose shoes bore faint red flecks among their dirt and grime, seemed to distance herself from me. Who could blame them? I was crazed and kept bringing up our classmates that died in horrific accidents, obsessing over an imagined killer. But not one person even took the time to consider my ramblings. They brushed me off, called me ‘troubled’ and recommended therapists. Still, I stuck to my theories and became intent on proving that something was wrong.

My parents were worried too, so I had to wait until after dark to check out the woods. Now, I know, yes, if there’s a killer on the loose it is incredibly stupid to mill about after dark, but I was a stupid kid and all of my friends thought I was insane so off I went into the night. This is where things start to get a little blurry. I don’t remember how deep into the woods I got before the hairs on my neck started to stand up with the horrifying feeling that I was being watched. I do remember spinning around aimlessly and shining my torch at anything that made even the slightest noise, but there was nothing there. I pressed on, even as I felt the beginnings of rain and a nauseating lurch in my stomach. That feeling never subsided. Every step I took had me checking over my shoulders for something, anything that might be watching me, stalking me. Without realizing, I’d become some sort of prey and whatever was following me was determined to scare me before attacking.

A twig finally snapped behind me and when I turned, torch at the ready, I caught a set of eyes in the darkness. They were too high up to belong to an animal, maybe a large bear but we didn’t see many of those where I lived. Still, the way they reflected the light was.. animalistic. They didn’t approach while I stared at them, waiting for something, anything, to happen. I yelled at them, beckoned them to come forward, but nothing. They were waiting, patiently waiting, for me to make a move.

So I did.

The second I stepped back, preparing to run, the eyes grew closer. Without waiting for the figure to reveal itself, I took off at a dead sprint. Whatever had been following me did too and I found myself stuck in a desperate chase for my life just as the rain picked up into a downpour that made it even harder to see. My lungs burned and my feet ached but I kept up my pace on pure adrenaline. I knew that slowing down would cost my life. I knew I’d end up like Sarah or Hollie or Jacob. I knew whatever was chasing me was the culprit, I just did.

Then, the footsteps behind me grew quieter until they disappeared entirely. I kept running a while longer just to be safe, though this left me completely lost in the woods. When I came to a stop, I couldn’t feel my body and had to buckle over to catch my breath. I was just barely able to avoid being sick as the adrenaline continued to pump through my system, keeping me on edge. The sound of running feet brought me back upright and before I could take off again, a body came crashing into mine. It was Eli, my friend and classmate, soaked to the bone and screaming as we tumbled to the ground. With both of us in hysterics, it took a minute for both of us to calm down enough to realize that we had collided with one another rather than whatever creature was chasing us. Our stories matched up. Strange eyes in the darkness, a long and sudden chase, only Eli couldn’t remember entering the woods while I could. We stood, holding each other at arm’s length by the shoulders as rain beat down on us, trying to keep each other steady and devise a plan for surviving the night and navigating home in the morning.

I don’t actually know what happened next, but I remember the sharp crack of something hard against Eli’s head. My torch was small but once I scrambled back and managed to hold it to the scene in front of me, it was more than bright enough.

Have you heard the crack of human bones? The squish of flesh as its pounded over and over and over again? I can still hear it when I close my eyes. Eli didn’t scream, I’m not sure he could after that initial whack. I didn’t scream either, but I think that was because I was so shocked as I watched Kiyomi take a bloody baseball bat to Eli’s head and body. Her perfectly clean appearance had been ruined with blood splatters, but she didn’t seem bothered. No, her mouth was curled in the most terrifying smile, as if this was some demented game for her.

I was awestruck and couldn’t move. I just shined that torch on her and Eli until she finally stopped. She was facing me when she dropped the bat, let out a laugh, and licked some of the blood off her fingers. That’s when I noticed how unnaturally sharp some of her teeth were. I was sure she’d kill me, so I stayed still. I was a deer in the headlights just waiting for her to step over the mound of flesh and bone that was once my friend to start bashing me in as well. It felt like a century passed as I just stared up at her and she stared down at me from behind those thick glasses.

Then, through that animalistic smile, she said one word: “Run.”

So I did. I ran and ran, as if I hadn’t just exhausted myself only moments prior. I ran until I hit a tree branch that sent me tumbling to the ground with rocks slicing through my skin, then got up and ran some more. I don’t know when I stopped but eventually I did and I holed myself up by a large rock, desperate to use it as a shelter from the monster that wore the new girl’s face.

When morning broke, I was still alive. I hadn’t slept. I hadn’t moved. I was covered in a spray of blood that I hadn’t noticed last night. My ankle burned in pain and I deduced that I had twisted it at some point while I was running for my life.

I wish I could tell you how I avoided being charged with Eli’s murder, but honestly I have no idea. I spent months in a haze after it all happened, constantly checking over my shoulder, constantly ready to run, but I never saw Kiyomi again. No one did. No one even seemed to know who I was talking about.

I was institutionalized later that year and now, five years later, I think I’ve finally overcome it. I’ve actually taken up running as a hobby now. My therapist said it could be useful to reclaim it after being so afraid of it for so long. It feels good.

Statement ends.

Sean is still alive from what I’ve found but was readmitted to a psychological hospital after coming home in a panic and telling his wife that ‘she was back’. It wouldn’t shock me if Kiyomi was intent on carrying out this hunt over a long period of time. Every time I think I've escaped her, she worms her way back into my attention. Crazy bitch. For Sean's sake, I hope she grows tired of him soon. For my sake, I hope she becomes obsessed with him. Then, she'll at least leave me be a little while longer.

Sean Connery and Tippi Hedren in Marnie (Alfred Hitchcock, 1964) Cast: Tippi Hedren, Sean Connery, Martin Gabel, Louise Latham, Diane Baker, Alan Napier, Mariette Hartley, Bruce Dern. Screenplay: Jay Presson Allen. Cinematography: Robert Burks. Film editing: George Tomasini. Music: Bernard Herrmann. Marnie, once dismissed as just a stew of melodrama and pop psychology, has undergone a wholesale re-evaluation in recent years, though some of it was spurred by revelations about Alfred Hitchcock's sexual harassment of Tippi Hedren. Now it's often seen as not only one of his most revealing films about his personal obsessions -- second perhaps only to Vertigo (1958), which it much resembles -- but also one of his greatest. (No other Hitchcock film has been made into an opera performed at the Met.) Its champions include the New Yorker's Richard Brody and filmmaker Alexandre Philippe, who has compared Hedren's performance to that of Isabelle Huppert in Michael Haneke's The Piano Teacher (2001). I wouldn't go that far. In fact, the most I'm willing to say is that Marnie is a very odd duck of a movie, one that just thinking about for a while can give me the creeps, especially in these times when each day seems to bring a new revelation about powerful men and their treatment of vulnerable women (and men). That's why the key to Marnie seems to me not so much Marnie herself but Mark Rutland (Sean Connery). Hedren is very good in her role, fully playing up her character's ever-present self-consciousness, born of being the constant object of the male gaze. But the film turns on an actor's ability to make something both credible and meaningful of Mark's obsession with Marnie, his persistence in trying to treat her disorder, and the breakdown of his endurance when he rapes her. I doubt that even Hitchcock's most gifted leading men, i.e., Cary Grant and James Stewart, could have brought off the role with much success. Sean Connery brings his Bondian smirk to the part, which heightens our sense of Marnie's fear of men, but also undercuts what should be at least a plausible interest on his part of treating her illness. There's no gentleness in Connery's performance, so that even Mark's attempts to win her over -- buying her beloved horse, for example -- look like power plays. But Marnie's response to Mark is equally perverse: After the rape, she tries to drown herself in the ship's swimming pool, and when he asks why she didn't just jump overboard, she replies, "The idea was to kill myself, not feed the damn fish." Not only is the reply nonsensical but it also underscores the truth: The idea was obviously to let herself be found, either to be rescued or by her death to score another point against men. So it's clear that Marnie is the kind of film that invites exhaustive comment, which is not exactly the same thing as saying it's a great film, or even a good one. To my mind, it's a showcase of Hitchcockian technique without heart or wit. It has some fine touches, such as the scene in which Marnie goes to rob the Rutland safe and we watch as she goes about it on one side of the screen while on the other a cleaning woman comes closer and closer to discovering her. Once again, Hitchcock makes us root for someone who's doing something we should disapprove of, but there's also something overfamiliar about it: We saw something like it in Psycho (1960), when Norman tries and almost fails to sink the Ford containing Marion's body in the swamp. But there it was an important alienating moment; here it just seems like a trick to build suspense in a film that doesn't particularly need it. It's style for style's sake, the essence of decadence, and Marnie may be Hitchcock's most decadent film.
