Hello Tomorrow! (2023)

In today's review, I find the monetary value in the dreams that take us beyond the stars. As I attempt a #positive review of the 2023 T.V. comedy drama, Hello Tomorrow! #BillyCrudup #HankAzaria #HaneefahWood #AlisonPill #NicholasPodany #DewshaneWilliams

The future was supposed to be magnificent, at least according to T.V., hopping on a hover car to take a trip to any planet, while robot butlers do all the busy work. A nice dream, or so it would remain to be. We might end up on the moon yet (well, not us… maybe our great-grandchildren). In 2023, a streaming series showcases the complications of life on the road, by promising us the stars, in…

Tara Reid, Rachael Leigh Cook, and Rosario Dawson in Josie and the Pussycats (Harry Elfont, Deborah Kaplan, 2001)

Cast: Rachael Leigh Cook, Tara Reid, Rosario Dawson, Gabriel Mann, Paulo Costanzo, Missi Pyle, Alan Cumming, Parker Posey, Tom Butler, Donald Faison, Seth Green, Breckin Meyer, Alexander Martin, Serena Altschul, Carson Daly, Aries Spears, Eugene Levy. Screenplay: Deborah Kaplan, Harry Elfont. Cinematography: Matthew Libatique. Production design: Jasna Stefanovic. Film editing: Peter Teschner. Music: John Frizzell. 

A "cult film" is any movie that didn't make it on the first theatrical release but later gained a huge following, either in theatrical re-release or TV and video. The reason usually given for the initial failure is often the mass incomprehension of film critics, but also the failure of marketing to target the right audience. In the case of Josie and the Pussycats it's a bit of both. In the case of the critics, a typical reaction might be Roger Ebert's decidedly thumbs-down comment, "The movie is a would-be comedy about prefab bands and commercial sponsorship, which may mean that the movie's own plugs for Coke, Target, Starbucks, Motorola and Evian are part of the joke." Is there a better example of seeing the point but not getting it? The central irony in the theatrical failure of Josie and the Pussycats is that it was a blatant satire of marketing that failed because of poor marketing: It was targeted to the wrong audiences. Instead of hip audiences like, say, viewers of Saturday Night Live, it was marketed to the teens and pre-teens who are the vehicle for its satire. Now, granted, I don't think it's a particularly good satire. It's silly where it should be edgy and a bit too loud and obvious. The comparatively novice writer-directors, Harry Elfont and Deborah Kaplan, have allowed skilled comic actors like Alan Cumming and Parker Posey to play too far over the top. But I do endorse what it's doing with its product-placement overkill, and maybe it made a few in its audience aware of how they're being manipulated. Or as Josie (the very good Rachael Leigh Cook) puts it, "Oh my god, I'm a trend pimp!"

hi anna i just got back from seeing preludes!! sent you that ask a while ago thank you so much for your response it was absolutely wonderful. not at all what i was expecting from the little i knew going in but i could absolutely feel dave malloy in it. rach was such a modern feeling and relatable character in a way that i don’t feel exists in any of his other work and i loved it. i did end up bringing the person i was unsure about and, while i do think i was able to follow the story a bit better, he loved it as well. dave malloy king of musicals that make me want to stand up in my seat and start screaming at various points. also going to go spend the rest of my night reading about rachmaninoff

this ask is from a MONTH ago and I haven't replied because I'm terribly jealous but also because I was so anxiously awaiting your answer that I got too giddy to even read it fully. I am so delighted you went (objectively the correct move of course, I am just the messenger)! Dave Malloy king of musicals in general, end of sentence! I find Preludes so so upsetting and excellent and I am glad you found something in Rach; I find Rach to be, in simplest terms, Malloy's rawest fucking protag. and of course, he is not Malloy's invention, but what strikes me so much about Preludes and Great Comet is his way of pulling out these absolutely killer emotions and concepts from pre-existing characters or people that are not even his creation. like man, why did you come up with something like "Why am I screaming? / Why am I shaking? / Oh God, was there something that I missed? / Did I squander my divinity? / Was happiness within me the whole time?" for the author's self-insert in War and Peace? did you seriously have to do that to me at age 16? if someone let me get my hands on Moby Dick I'm sure I'd be completely losing it right now. but anyhow, again I repeat that I am jealous and that I am glad you had a wonderful time watching it (I wonder if it was less frightening than the recording? 'frightening' may be wrong; ominous? upsetting? again that sound design just truly shakes me to my core). anyhow I hope you listen to the recording too, if not to be frightened but to hear Gabriel Ebert's Rach and Nikki M. James' Natalya. insane stuff on that tiny little cast recording that they inexplicably made for Preludes!

#no seriously everyone is so lucky I have no way of consuming Moby Dick. #anonymous #ask #all this to say I think Malloy is probably one of the few musicians alive who has a real talent at adaptation #LMM found something brilliant in Hamilton but he doesn't actually LIKE adaptation I don't think. whereas Malloy LOVES IT. #Ghost Quartet is an exercise in adaptation that would make anyone miserable except for him. truly!

I continue to enjoy The Adventure Zone Versus Dracula, but it was so difficult to pay attention to the last ten minutes of the most recent episode, because it sounded like the background music was Rachmaninoff’s “Prelude,” and I just kept hearing the lyrics to Dave Malloy’s musical adaptation of it. My mind went blank and was filled exclusively with the sound of Gabriel Ebert saying, “The Prelude, oh wow!”

#bunny babbles #i am 99% sure that i identified the track correctly #but im reserving 1% for doubt just in case #i am 1k of the 15k views on that youtube video btw /hj #(probably more like 300 or 500)

Ralph Fiennes and Kristin Scott Thomas in The English Patient (Anthony Minghella, 1996)

Cast: Ralph Fiennes, Juliette Binoche, Willem Dafoe, Kristin Scott Thomas, Naveen Andrews, Colin Firth, Julian Wadham, Jürgen Prochnow, Kevin Whately, Clive Merrison, NIno Castelnuovo. Screenplay: Anthony Minghella, based on a novel by Michael Ondaatje. Cinematography: John Seale. Production design: Stuart Craig. Film editing: Walter Murch. Music: Gabriel Yared. 

The "prestige motion picture" is a familiar genre: It's typically a movie derived from a distinguished literary source or a biopic about a distinguished historic figure, with a cast full of major actors, but designed not so much to advance the art of film as to attract critical raves and awards -- particularly Oscars. There are plenty of examples among the best-picture Oscar winners: A Man for All Seasons (Fred Zinnemann, 1966), Chariots of Fire (Hugh Hudson, 1981), Gandhi (Richard Attenborough, 1982), Amadeus (Milos Forman, 1984), Out of Africa (Sydney Pollack, 1985), and The Last Emperor (Bernardo Bertolucci, 1987). (The 1980s seemed to be particularly dominated by prestige-seekers.) The trouble is that once the initial attraction of these films has faded, few people seem to remember them fondly or want to watch them again. I'd rather watch The Battle of Algiers (Gillo Pontecorvo, 1966) today than sit through A Man for All Seasons, and I would say the same for Atlantic City (Louis Malle, 1981), Blade Runner (Ridley Scott, 1982), Starman (John Carpenter, 1984), Prizzi's Honor (John Huston, 1985), and Moonstruck (Norman Jewison, 1987) when put in competition with the prestige best-picture winners of their respective years. So I watched The English Patient last night to test my theory that prestige movies don't hold up over time. It fits the category precisely: It's based on a Booker Prize-winning novel by Michael Ondaatje; it has a distinguished cast, three of whom were nominated for acting Oscars, including Juliette Binoche, who won; it earned raves from The New Yorker, the New York Times, and Roger Ebert; it raked in 12 Oscar nominations and won nine of them -- picture, supporting actress, director Anthony Minghella, cinematographer John Seale, art direction, costumes, sound, film editor Walter Murch (who also shared in the Oscar for sound), and composer Gabriel Yared. And sure enough, there are films from 1996 that I'd rather watch again than The English Patient, including  Fargo (Joel Coen and Ethan Coen), Lone Star (John Sayles), and Trainspotting (Danny Boyle). But I also have to say that of all the "prestige" best picture winners, The English Patient makes the best case for the genre. It's a good movie, with a mostly well-crafted screenplay by Minghella from a book many thought unfilmable, though it still tries to carry over too much from the novel, such as the character of David Caravaggio (Willem Dafoe), whose function in the film, to provoke Almásy (Ralph Fiennes) into uncovering his story, could have been served equally well by Hana (Binoche). But the performances still seem fresh and committed. Binoche, though designated a supporting actress, carries the film by turning Hana into a kind of central consciousness. I was surprised at how much heat is generated by Fiennes and Kristin Scott Thomas as Katharine, considering that they are both usually rather icy performers. There are some beautifully staged scenes, like the one in which Kip (Naveen Andrews) "flies" Hana so she can view the frescoes high in a church. And Murch's sound editing gives the film a marvelous sonic texture, starting with the mysterious clinking sounds at the film's beginning, which are then revealed to be the bottles carried by an Arab vendor of potions. Murch's ear and Seale's eye make the film an enduring audiovisual treat.
