Hello! I listened to this garbage so you don’t have to! —Part 2 (April 6, 2023)

I typed up a transcription from the podcast that I will post below. I typed quickly, so please excuse any typos I might not have caught. Don’t drag me for the grammar. That’s all DM talking. I just typed it out the way she said it. For those of you wanting to hear it for yourself, she starts at 52:30.

————————————————————

DM: Well. I did a little poll on Instagram. Because I posted that Chris Evans is Boston’s hometown hero. And I did a little pill for the Bostonians. I said Who is your hometown hero? Ben Affleck or Matt Damon, I grouped them together, Chris Evans, Mark Wahlberg, or Hilaria Baldwin who I just threw in for good measure. And Matt Damon and Ben Affleck won the poll by a landslide and I just need to clarify for my Boston followers, I didn’t realize that Chris Evans didn’t grow up exactly in Boston, he grew up in Sudbury which

Lex: Yeah, Like a suburb.

DM: Which is like right outside of Boston, so I had someone write in and say “grew up in Lincoln Sudbury, was about 8 years behind Chris, but fully agree with this.” so the Sudbury people, and I hope I’m saying that right, they do think that Chris is Boston’s hometown hero.

Lex: Right.

DM: This person says “Lincoln Sudbury” I’m assuming that’s the school “was obsessed with Chris and our whole theatre department was like a shrine to him. He’d come home frequently to visit his family in the early 2000s and we’d see him at the local Natick mall. Him and his family are super suburb-normie. Like I think his dad coached youth soccer when we were all younger. He’s for sure a Sudbury hero, but not Boston. Just a star that loves Boston and Massachusetts." so I felt like I needed to make that distinction because I didn't realize that before I claimed Chris Evans as the...

Lex: I love this distinction. You know, any chance to talk about Chris Evans is a chance I'll take.

DM: Bost (laughs, cuts off word). Wait, I was just going to say! Aren't you, don't you love Chris Evans? Do you still love him so so much?

Lex: I mean, I do but it's so hard because I'm not getting enough content. That's why I posted, you posted those like high school or elementary school, his like bowl cuts year book photos and I was like "I needed this today!" I feel like we never see him anymore because he's got his girlfriend! But we're gonna get some press soon, right? Because he's got that movie coming out on Apple with Ana de Armas again.

DM: Yes. And he's in New York right now with Alba.

Lex: I mean, yeah, like in my, I don't know what the rumor is circulating or blah blah blah, but like, I just feel like they've been engaged since last year. He would not do the People magazine, come out about his love life, again, you wanna talk PR game. That is all strategic to keep the crazies at an arms length...

DM: You think so?!

Lex: satisfy the beast, but still maintain his privacy. Yes! Yes, yes ,yes!

DM: So you think that their relationship is PR?

Lex: Oh no! I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I think their relationship is real.

DM: Got you. Got you.

Lex: I think he gave...he's normally very private, but he like gave the PR the big, uh, People's Sexiest Man Alive and blah blah blah to then double down and then drop his relationship so that it's like, you know, he's given, he's giving us, he's breadcrumbing us a little bit and then he can still have his life.

DM: You know, I had heard People magazine was pissed about that. Because he didn't disclose to them..."

Lex: Stop, that he was in the relationship?

DM: When he was....yes. Yes.

Lex: Oh my God.

DM: Mhmm. And he did the photoshoot, did the article, was in the magazine, was in the article, and then was like SURPRISE! I'm in this relationship and they were kinda like...why didn't you just tell us? Like you were just on this huge cover and...

Lex: Talking about what you look for in a relationship...

DM: Yes!

Lex:...and like, what you want in a relationship.

DM: Yes, yes. They were like what the f-ck, but whatever. I mean, you know, happy for him. He seems really happy. I'm still...

Lex: So happy.

DM: in the...

Lex: I'm devastated.

DM: I'm still in the camp that if they do get engaged, or if they are currently engaged, I would not be surprised. I'm still in the camp.

Lex: Same. A thousand percent, I agree.

--and then they move on to the next topic.

2, 3, 7, 8, 11, 13, 21, 26, 30

2: Favourite actor(s) - I honestly do not know, because I am not always too excited about the actors, but if I have to go by performance, I would say Jim Carey, Jamie Foxx, Denzel Washington, Christina Hendricks, Tom Cavanaugh, Jessica Chastain, Regina King, Gal Gadot, Kevin Hart, Chadwick Boseman, Lupita N’yongo, Chris Evans, Bryan Cranston, to name a few. I would not go out of my way to see movies, simply because of the actor, unless for other reasons beyond just interest.

3: Favourite genre(s) - I am into comedy movies, but I have been on a roll with my interest in superhero themed movies. I will also say that documentaries are incredibly interesting, since they are worth the entertainment value, and the means to speak on social commentary. I will also give a special nod to horror, though that is a low-key interest on my end.

7: Favourite era(s) of film - I would probably say movies from the 80s and 90s, since I have grown up around those periods, and it really helped shape my mindset in certain ways.

8: Spell your first, middle, and last name out in movie titles - I will just do this out of initials, so....

King Kong

Night of the Living Dead

Willard

11: Favourite film character(s) - None that piques my interests per se, so I will say Donnie Darko, Alex DeLarge, Adelaide/Red, Killmonger, Loki, Lex Luthor, Superman, Spider-Man, Blade, Spawn to name a few.

13: Movie(s) you remember as part of your childhood - Ghostbusters I, Ghostbusters II, Alien, Aliens, Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: The Movie, Ace Ventura, The Land Before Time, RoboCop, Terminator, Goldeneye,Terminator II, The Matrix, Mortal Kombat, to name a few.

21: Movie character(s) you have a crush on - I wish I could remember, but I don’t think I had any movie crushes like talking about it.

26: People whose opinions on movies you value - Only people whom I interact with and feel like there is a kindred sense of rapport between us, be it offline or online. So, no one, except for a few people I know well, and you know you are. :)

30: Movie character(s) you find attractive - Mary Jane Watson, Maria Hill, Maya, Sif, Frigg, Nakia, Okoye, Wanda Maximoff, Black Widow, April O’Neil. I don’t know. I just cannot think of any that really spellbinds me.

-------------------------------------------------------------

This was a very difficult one to do, because my relationship with films and myself have grown a bit more distant than before, because I was never really too invested in the movies in the same way I was with cartoons and video games. But, @punk-courtesan, this was a very good selection of questions, regardless and I relish you having the patience for me to answer them soon. I hope you are doing well!

Nitromare: My God, We’re Really Doing This

Joe has returned to the Land of the Rising Sun, but Mark and I for some reason are committed to watching every Nitro of the Vince Russo Era, when WCW went beyond the point of no return in the battle against the WWF. Tonight we’re on the second week of the first Russo reign: October 25, 1999, from Phoenix, Arizona. Let’s soak up the horror!

We open with Sting, in street clothes, coming out to the ring to demand the presence of JJ Dillon, the kayfabe commissioner. Sting lost to Goldberg last night at Halloween Havoc, but says that match wasn’t for the title, and so Goldberg should not be the champ. Dillon says there’s going to be a tournament to determine the champ, so Sting beats up Dillon. Goldberg runs out to make the save, and in the scrum, Sting’s t-shirt remains impressively tucked into his jeans. Why are they trying to make Sting into a whiny, shitty bad guy? The most natural babyface in the company since Ricky Steamboat. People want to cheer for Sting.

The first match of the tournament is Norman Smiley vs. Bam Bam Bigelow. It’s over in about five minutes, with Norman winning. I think it was a hardcore match?

Now the Filthy Animals come out to show video footage of them taking Ric Flair out into a desert at night and dumping water on him. I’m not sure why you’d film yourself committing a crime, but the 1990s were a different time. You know who Billy Kidman looks like? The singer for Missing Foundation. It’s uncanny. There’s footage on YouTube of that guy, Peter Missing, setting himself on fire at a show in Boston.

Rey Misterio says the Filthy Animals are going to “hump” Harlem Heat “like the dogs we are.” OK? Dean Malenko and Perry Saturn are apparently outraged, perhaps on behalf of dogs, and they run out and start beating on the Animals with lead pipes. Shane Douglas and Asya come out and kidnap Torrie Wilson.

Now we’re backstage with Mike Tenay and Curt Hennig. Is there any American wrestler whose career was more a story of thwarted promise than Mr. Perfect? He was so good at everything, but never really got the breakthrough, either because of injuries or working for the wrong company at the wrong time, or both.

Kevin Nash and Scott Hall are hanging around backstage. Somewhat grimly considering what we know now, they’re drinking beer from a cooler.

The next match in the championship tournament is Hennig versus Lash Laroux, a truly forgotten figure from the WCW era. His gimmick was that he was a Cajun. That was pretty much it, mes amis. While the match is going on, Disco Inferno comes out to do commentary with Tony Schiavone and The Brain. For some reason. Hennig gets DQ’d for hitting Laroux with a chair. Disco Inferno comes in to help Laroux, and gets beat up with the chair. The match lasts maybe three minutes.

We’re back in the ring after a commercial break with Kim Page and Mean Gene talking about the Nitro Girl competition. This was a contest to find a new Nitro Girl that I think Stacy Keibler eventually won. We meet two more finalists, both local, and watch footage of them dancing as Disco Inferno looks on. Was he the judge? His whole gimmick was that he was a bad dancer.

The Nitro Girls thing is interrupted by DOUBLE J himself, Jeff Jarrett, recently arrived from the WWF. He immediately says the championship tournament is “a big work,” which I’m sure sounded like a good idea if you were on cocaine. Jarrett is still wrestling today; he’s currently a titleholder in AAA. He’s had one of the most remarkable careers of any American wrestler, yet I’ve never really enjoyed him.

Another match in the It’s A Big Work Tournament. Perry Saturn vs. Eddie Guerrero, which in theory should be a great match. So far each match in this tournament has featured one wrestler who is no longer alive. There are empty seats on the hard camera side; Mark notes that the revamped WCW logo reminds him of the final flag of a soon-to-be-vanquished country.

The match is not great. A few decent spots, but then David Flair runs in and hits Eddie Guerrero with a lead pipe, allowing Saturn to get the win via the Rings of Saturn. It last six minutes.

We’re backstage, and the Revolution have Torrie Wilson imprisoned in a backstage area. “This is a great hiding place; they’ll never find us!” exults Shane Douglas, in front of a camera crew. Chris Benoit arrives and locks most of the Revolution inside a caged area, allowing him to beat on Dean Malenko. Everyone is wearing what would today be classified as Mom Jeans. Wasn’t Benoit part of the Revolution? Eventually he’d jump to the WWF along with Saturn, Malenko, and Guerrero, as the Radicalz. You could tell they were extreme, because they scorned the letter ‘S.’

Hall and Nash walk out, wearing street clothes. “It seems these new bosses we got from up North can’t have a wrestling show without the Outsiders,” Hall says, in a reference to Russo and Ferrara that 99 percent of the audience wouldn’t understand. Nash is wearing a FUBU jersey. His meandering promo is interrupted by Goldberg, who is standing in the crowd, wearing his gear and holding a microphone. As one does. “You’re both next!” Goldberg says. Technically, they can’t BOTH be next, Bill.

Macho Man and Gorgeous George come out. I don’t know why her wrestling name was Gorgeous George, but she wasn’t the worst person to wear the mantle created by George Wagner. There were so many terrible Gorgeous Georges. Even in the twilight of his career, Savage is still a compelling, charismatic performer. “Don’t hunt what ya can’t kill, cuz ya can’t kill The Madness!” he cautions, adding “I ain’t no punk bitch!” He takes some shots at Hogan and Flair. Gorgeous George is chewing gum and looking a bit lost. “I got too much money in the bank to get punked out by punks like you!” Savage yells, although it’s still unclear to whom he’s referring. Then he says he and Gorgeous George are leaving. OK.

The Filthy Animals are searching for Torrie backstage. How did they find Shane Douglas’ great hiding place?? But the Revolution have moved off to another backstage space to complain about how Chris Benoit beat Malenko’s ass.

Next WCW title tournament match: Madusa vs. Meng. Oh God. Madusa looks legitimately unwell. Everyone who knows Meng is terrified of Meng. He’s like nuclear war. This is not a pioneering intergender matchup: none of Madusa’s offense is effective, while Meng just stands around and growls like an animal. Madusa wrestled Bull Nakano a lot, so this probably wasn’t the scariest opponent she’d faced. Meng wins in about four minutes with the Tongan Death Grip. Remember when it was a big deal that Madusa jumped to WCW with the WWF women’s belt? Boy, they sure made the most of that, didn’t they?

Evan Karagias comes out to help Madusa. “Isn’t he gallant,” Brain sneers, and for some reason he pronounces it “guh-launt” and it makes me laugh out loud. That’s how I’m pronouncing it from now on.

Nothing stands still. Malenko comes out and challenges Benoit and then leaves. Russo’s WCW feels like experimental theater, right down to the destruction of the fourth wall and acknowledgement of artifice.

Mark describes Hall and Nash as “two retirees going around, causing trouble,” and this is a perfect description of what they’re doing at this point. I’m omitting about half the backstage segments, because they all last about 45 seconds and seem meaningless.

Lex Luger and Miss Elizabeth come out, everything we know about what would happen later making it very hard to enjoy any of this. I think this is a match in the title tournament? The WCW commentary team does not do nearly as much recapping as today’s WWE announcers, and it’s kind of baffling.

It’s Luger vs. Rick Steiner, and a shirtless Jeff Jarrett comes out to join in on commentary. “We saw your shtick in the WWF, we know you’d hit a woman,” Schiavone says. “This is not the WWF, this is the WCW, and I am the Chosen One!” Jarrett replies. Jarrett is upset that he is being blamed for hitting Liz last week. Jarrett tries to hit Luger with a guitar and gets Steiner instead. Jarrett runs off and Steiner follows him. The crowd seems bored and angry. Luger wins via count. The match was maybe three minutes long.

Kidman and Konnan are backstage. Konnan calls the Revolution “mark busters.” I can’t look at Kidman without seeing Peter Missing. Have you ever heard Missing Foundation? It’s really challenging stuff. What a group they were.

Another title tournament match, this time between Kidman and Konnan, fellow Filthy Animals. There’s a ref bump 45 seconds into the match. Harlem Heat comes out and beat up Konnan and Kidman. Who’s getting humped now, gentlemen, hmmmm? Now Rey and Eddie come out to fight Harlem Heat. In the ring, Kidman gets the pin on an out-cold Konnan. The match lasted two minutes at most. The secret of Vince Russo is that Vince Russo is not a wrestling fan.

Buff Bagwell’s in the ring and vowing to break all the rules. “I’m going to take every little thing that’s ever been sacred in this business and I’m gonna relieve myself all over it.” Then he says, “I’m not doin’ a J-O-B, a job, for nobody ever again!” He calls out “the two idiots in the back writing this crap,” which, Jesus. Two giant bald guys in suits com out who say “We represent the two idiots in the back writing this crap,” and then proceed to beat the stuffing out of Buffing.

We’re back from commercial, and Chris Benoit is going to wrestle Dean Malenko in a Mom Jeans Beatdown. No, it’s a last man standing match, but they’re both wearing mom jeans, without belts. That really bothers me for some reason. This is a really good match, the only good one of the night so far. Not entirely surprising. There’s no way to reflect on Chris Benoit without the shadow of his hideous crimes hanging over everything, but for whatever it’s worth, he was one of the best wrestlers of his generation. He had a graceful ferocity and total commitment to what he did that very few wrestlers have ever matched. Benoit wins.

The Filthy Animals run out to beat on Malenko, then Shane Douglas and Asya come out with Torrie Wilson. Torrie Wilson is notably taller than her captor, Asya. They should’ve got Nicole Bass to be their Chyna-alike. Douglas kind of sucked, didn’t he?

Jimmy Hart comes out with Hugh Morrus and Knobs from the Nasty Boys. Was there a new Nasty Boys with Morrus in place of Sags? Or was Knobs moonlighting? I’ll tell you what: the Nasty Boys put together a surprising number of extremely fun matches. This is not one of them: Sting comes out with a baseball bat, beats down Knobs, and gets the pin. I guess this was a no DQ match?

One thing to remember in the Nitromare: nothing has to make sense.

We’re backstage with Tenay and Bret Hart, who has what I think is a storyline ankle injury. Bret interviews like an earnest hockey player, which was part of his appeal. He didn’t have to scream or act like a lunatic to sell you on a match.

Now there’s a tag match between Konnan and Kidman and the defending champs, Harlem Heat. Konnan is also wearing FUBU; were they a sponsor?

I’m flummoxed that they’d allow so many empty seats facing the hard camera. Why not send people in higher sections down to take those seats? This is AWA-at-the-end level inattention to detail.

Meanwhile, in the match, Harlem Heat are beating the shit out of the Filthy Animals in a mostly uninteresting fashion. It’s a slog. There’s an inexplicable screw job finish that has Schiavone asking “Who won?,” which is always a good sign. The answer: the Filthy Animals won because ... Kidman bridged out of a pin?

Nitromare: Nothing Has to Make Sense

DDP and Kimberly come out. My God, Kimberly was attractive. And Page was insanely over with WCW fans; it’s galling how badly he was mishandled by the WWF. Did you know Page sued Jay Z over the Diamond Cutter hand gesture? They settled out of court, so we still don’t have settled legal precedent on whether you can trademark a hand gesture.

David Flair comes out. DDP is mad at Flair because Flair’s dad slept with Kimberly. Flair pulls out a crowbar and cheap-shots DDP, then starts whaling on him. David Flair looks like the character in a movie about rural 19th century America who’s described as “a bit touched.” Like a character who accidentally kills or injures a major character and then commits suicide in helpless despair. It’s not ... a great look for a pro wrestler.

DDP gets kayfabe stretchered out. Well, I believe he’s the winner by disqualification, so there is that.

Back from commercial. Hall and Nash, in street clothes, are in the ring. Their opponents appear to be local strippers. They’re not given an introduction, so we don’t know for sure. One of them motorboats Scott Hall. The crowd enjoys it, because wrestling fans in the 1990s were not very sophisticated. The other stripper is tagged in. “This is what it’s all about,” Tony says. Nash comes in. “The hot tag! The big save,” Tony says. One of the rare moments when I feel like Lou Thesz. A third stripper with balloon-sized fake breasts comes into the ring. The Outsiders lay down and get pinned. Who says Kevin Nash wouldn’t do jobs in WCW?

Goldberg mercifully runs into the ring and spears them both. The crowd likes it, but is also horny and mad that the woman with the huge fake breasts didn’t take her shirt off. The replay is brought to us by the Air Force, which at the time was using the slogan “Aim High.” Not a lot of that in Nitromare, I’m afraid.

I think it’s main event time. God, I hope it is. I’m so weary. Bret Hart hobbles out to the ring. He’s wrestling Goldberg, who has one of the all-time great entrances in pro wrestling history.

Tony says Bret’s shin is hurt, when earlier we were told it was his ankle. Later, Tony says it’s Bret’s ankle. Razor sharp.

Goldberg was not a great wrestler, and with Bret selling a broken ankle, it was hard to carry the big dude to a credible match. The story here is Bret’s insane pride and resilience, and it’s going well initially: the crowd rallying behind him as he tries to fight back against the onslaught from Goldberg. Goldberg does a good job of looking conflicted about wrestling a guy who’s less than 100 percent, which adds to the story. Goldberg finally starts working on the injured leg and then breaks the hold, hoping the ref will stop the match. Hey, this is actually not bad!

Bret fights out of a corner and applies the sleeper, which leads to, merciful God in heaven above, a ref bump. The Outsiders and Sid Vicious run out to take out Goldberg. Nash hits the most spectacular move in his arsenal, the sidewalk slam. Goldberg is out and Bret covers him for the win. This sucked.

Grade: D

Signs in the Crowd: WCW = Where Chumps Wrestle; Everyone Hates Rey, Man (so Nineties); Ryan Gill is Gay (also very Nineties, in a bad way); IM SINGLE; Goldberg Kicks Ass; Big Sexy in the House NWO 4 Life; Hall = Ratings; Filthy Animals = Circle Jerk; Can’t Stand Me No Fruit Booties; Buff is the Stuff; WWW. Rantsylvania . Com (still active! It’s Scott Keith’s blog); WCW Monday Maestro (was there really a person who liked the Maestro enough to make a sign?); Joe B is a Candy Ass; I Pimp Pimps; Russo Where’s the Gambler?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Six days had passed and things didn’t seem to be much better between you and Chris. You didn’t dare mention it to Lex though, it wasn’t her fault you were in this mess, it was your own. So you stayed sulking about, hoping that soon Chris would give you an answer.

Little to your knowledge, Lexi already knew about your problem, and she was getting ready to tackle it.

The new three musketeers were sitting in a quiet, dark restaurant as Lex turned to Chris, with Seb’s arm around her.

“Hey, Chris, have you talked to Y/N lately?” she asked.

“Yeah, about a week ago, why?”

“Did you talk or anything?”

“About…?”

“About getting together, you jackass,” she said, rolling her eyes.

“Lex, I don’t know, man. She did something really fucked up,” Chris started, not really wanted to talk about you or the situation.

“Yes, she did, but she had good intentions...just...did the wrong thing,” she tried.

Chris shook his head and shrugged. “But how can I trust her? She spread lies about you, her life long best friend, to my best friend, all to see to it that I wasn’t hurt…?” he rhetorically asked as his brows knitted together.

“Babe, she betrayed you. Hell she betrayed all of us,” Sebastian noted adding to Chris’ argument.

“Yeah, how can you just forgive her? I mean, out of everyone here, you should be the most pissed. She hurt you the most and lied about your reputation, and she’s known you longest,” Chris argued.

Lex nodded her head side to side. “Yeah, but it’s for that very reason that I forgave her so easily.”

“What do you mean?”

“I mean, because I know her, I know that wasn’t her, what she did.” The guys looked at her with shocked and confused looks. “Look, I know it isn’t...her grandest moment but...she told me she basically felt like she’s always been in my shadow, and after I thought about it, she’s right. We would enter science fair together and I’d get first, she’d get second. We’d go to prom and I’d have the limo with the most popular guy in school and she had his weird friend. Hell, in high school, I got all the great teachers and she got all the shitty ones and she studied harder and got worse grades. I don’t know why the cosmos has dealt her a shit hand…”

“So you’re saying she’s justified in being jealous or...what’s your point?” Chris asked.

“My point is, is even though she always sort of came in second best in other people’s eyes, she’s always been my best friend, like a sister to me. She seems to forget all the good she’s done for me but I haven’t. When I was told no by quite a few record labels, I would cry every time, and she would be my rock that told me to buck up, try the next label, and keep pushing forward. When one of the guys and I dated would end things, she was there for my shoulder to cry on, telling me I’d find someone better. When I would get too drunk to even think straight at parties thrown by other artists or at the VMAs or whatever, she would show up at any time, day or night, to make sure I got home safe. When I’m sick, she runs to the store and gets my meds. She knows what I’m allergic to, what I like and don’t like...”

For a moment, he was speechless.

“So she fucked up one time and screwed me over.” She shrugged nonchalantly. “I still have Sebastian and it doesn’t negate all the wonderful things she’s done for me throughout the years. No matter what has happened between us, she was always there for me. We all make mistakes, Chris. She’s trying to make up for them...Don’t make it any harder for her than it has been. I know you two like each other a lot, I can see it in every little interaction you make. Don’t let one fuck up of hers define your potential future together.”

“You really mean all that?” Chris finally asked after a few minutes of silence and contemplation.

“Yes, she’s been with me through it all,” Lex assured with a head nod. “Give her a second chance. I bet she won’t disappoint you.”

“But what do I do? I mean...I’m not ready to just accept her with open arms.”

“Are you willing to at least give her a second chance?” she asked.

Chris shrugged but nodded reluctantly. “Yeah...sure.”

“Then start there. Go with baby steps.”

“Why are you doing all of this for her? When she practically ruined your chance at happiness? Do you think she would do the same for you?” Chris wondered. He understood trying to help her, but Lex was going above and beyond to make sure that you two worked things out, when she certainly didn’t have to.

“Yeah, I think she would,” Lex answered, nodding. “I’m doing all of this because it’s time she found happiness too.”

hello, everyone! sorry for being a bit late to the party, i’ve been sick and waiting for my stuff to actually show up in tags (gotta love new blogs). anyways, i’m matt and i’ll be playing ryder & alexander. if you’d like to know more about them and/or plot with them, here’s a bit of info on them.

For a second I thought I saw CHRIS EVANS around here, but it was just RYDER RUSSO. I heard that they are THIRTY-ONE and that they WERE BORN HERE. They are a HETEROSEXUAL CISMALE, known as the PARADOX around here. I know that they are an ACTOR. I’ve talked to HIM and they seem CHARMING & PASSIONATE, but also POSSESSIVE & STUBBORN. I think The Love Club paired them with ILIANA SAGE & SCARLETT JOHANSSON/ELIZABETH OLSEN/EMERAUDE TOUBIA/ANY FEMALE FC, I guess we’ll see how it goes.

a local, his parents were part of the experiment but aren’t “true” loves. bc of that, ryder has always been a little skeptical of the whole system. he isn’t against it, he just thinks it’s unnecessary as people can be happy without it

as stated above he’s an actor & i’m keeping that he played cap bc why not?

he was married once before and has an eight-year-old daughter from said marriage

his wife died a few years back, however, leaving him to care for his daughter

it’s something he has yet to completely get over, which is why he hasn’t been too concerned with finding his “true” love(s). he believes if it’s meant to happen it will regardless of if he pursues it

he’s usually an upbeat, goofy, friendly person, even if most of that is an act. left alone he can be quite somber

can drink you under the table

basically an actual man-child

For a second I thought I saw HENRY CAVILL around here, but it was just ALEXANDER SCOTT. I head that they are TWENTY-NINE and that they JUST MOVED HERE. They are a HETEROSEXUAL CISMALE, known as the ALBATROSS around here. I know that they are a PSYCHOLOGIST. I’ve talked to HIM and they seem CLEVER & STOIC, but also CYNICAL & RESTLESS. I think The Love Club paired them with GAL GADOT, ALICIA VIKANDER, ANDY FEMALE FC, I guess we’ll see how it goes.

born & raised in scotland

but moved to england at 16 to attend cambridge university (he’s smart af ok?)

his parents were never involved with the love club but he’d heard of it and had always been a bit intrigued by it

still, he has always been more concerned with his career than finding out if the things he’d heard about the love club were true

typically goes by alex or lex

rather quiet & reserved & serious type of guy

he can be a bit of a grump & downer but he’s used to listening to people’s problems so can you blame him?

he kinda analyzes everyone he meets?

may come off as an ass at times bc he’s blunt & not great with expressing his own thoughts/emotions but he’s actually a huge teddy bear once you get to know him

if you’d like to plot with either of these idiots either like this or shoot me an im!

Is the Major Oscar Drought Over for Superhero Movies? Let’s Hope.

So we’re well in the swing of awards season and as Deadpool gets more nominations for various industry awards the buzz gets louder that it will be the first superhero film to get an Oscar nomination for Best Picture. Now I loved Deadpool and I think it would be great if it got an Oscar nod. And yet I have to ask why Doctor Strange and Captain America: Civil War (also excellent superhero films) aren’t getting similar buzz. And another question going through my mind is why it’s taken so long for a superhero film to be even considered for such a major award.

The last time there was talk of a superhero movie getting major Oscar nods was 2008-2009 when The Dark Knight received critical raves and made numerous critics’ lists of their top films of the year. There was a wide consensus that it would (and should) get nominated for Best Picture but when that didn’t happen many saw it as a snub. That being said it shouldn’t have come as that big of a surprise. Superhero films (and most offerings of the Sci-Fi/Fantasy genre) have long been looked over for the major Oscar categories. The Dark Knight did win in the Best Supporting Actor category, but to be brutally honest (and I might get in trouble for saying this) I don’t think Heath Ledger would’ve won that statue if he hadn’t died so tragically. Does anyone really think that in normal circumstances a guy playing The Joker would get an Oscar nomination? Jack Nicholson’s performance as the Clown Prince of Crime was pretty noteworthy, but was he considered for the Oscar? Nope.

I can list some excellent performances that should have gotten Oscar consideration but were looked over (I guess because they were in movies about guys in tights and capes). Gene Hackman’s wry and wicked Lex Luthor and Christopher Reeve’s beautiful star-making turn as Superman/Clark Kent in Superman: The Movie. Then we have Michael Keaton and Christian Bale as Batman, both outstanding. Not to mention Gary Oldman’s Commissioner Gordon and Aaron Eckhart’s Two-Face in The Dark Knight trilogy. And there’s no shortage of caliber actors in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, including Robert Downey, Jr. and Chris Evans who have been consistently terrific as Iron Man/Tony Stark and Captain America/Steve Rogers, including 2016′s Captain America: Civil War. Marvel Studios kept up their standard of quality with Doctor Strange, whose cast included past Oscar nominees Benedict Cumberbatch (Stephen Strange) and Chiwetel Ejiofor (Mordo), and past Oscar winner Tilda Swinton (The Ancient One).

Usually when a superhero film is nominated for or wins an Oscar it’s for the technical categories, and don’t get me wrong those are well-deserved. But it’s past time these films get taken more seriously. They might be blockbusters but they can also be as artistic as La La Land or as well-written as Moonlight. Yeah, we have the Saturn and Hugo Awards to recognize these films but does that mean that the Academy shouldn’t recognize them too? Most of Hollywood clearly doesn’t turn it’s nose up at superhero movies as we have Oscar winners and nominees signing on to them. Heck, comic books are also taken more seriously as authors such as Brad Meltzer and Ta Nehisi Coates have been writing them. Deadpool was a brilliant film, but so were Doctor Strange and Captain America: Civil War. Cumberbatch’s performance was as memorable as Downey’s in the first Iron Man and as moving as his nominated turn in The Imitation Game and many of his scenes in Sherlock. And whitewashing controversy or not, Tilda Swinton was mesmerizing as The Ancient One. I’m willing to bet if the movie were not called Doctor Strange it might get consideration in the acting and Best Picture categories. Same goes for Captain America: Civil War, just for the final Cap/Iron Man/Winter Soldier battle alone. (And if you ask me Captain America: The Winter Soldier should’ve been considered for Best Picture when it was out.)

If Deadpool does get the Oscar nod I hope this will finally put an end to the superhero genre getting treated like the proverbial stepchild, but by that same token I hope it won’t be the only superhero movie getting major love (and respect) from the Academy this year.

After writing and filming one version of its pilot (and showing it at Comic-Con), the people behind DC Comics’ Powerless decided to completely revamp the show. That means that the new first episode, which aired last night, had a ton of major changes from the original—and here’s what they were.

1) The Setting Has Changed From a Superhero Insurance Company to Wayne Security

Let’s start with a change that was announced in the new synopsis for the show. Instead of an insurance company that pays out to people after supervillain attacks, the show now takes place at Wayne Security, a subsidiary of Wayne Enterprises. This ties the show more obviously into the larger DC universe and is a relatively stable source of jokes. (Also, there’s a shout-out to the old premise in the new pilot when, in a flashback, the main character is shown working in insurance.)

2) The Main Character Is Now a Newcomer

In the old pilot, Emily Locke (Vanessa Hudgens) was a long-time employee of the company, and she’d spent enough time living in Charm City to be deeply tired of superheroes and the damage they cause. The old pilot opened with Emily going off on Crimson Fox (Atlin Mitchell) for the way that innocent people keep getting dragged into the middle of the fights between superheroes and villains. In the new version, she’s not only excited about moving to Charm City, but being caught in-between her first superhero/villain fight. She even takes a selfie in the derailed train that she was trying to take to work.

3) ...and No One Likes Her

In the old pilot, Emily was one of the gang. Teddy (Danny Pudi) was her best friend. Now, she’s the new supervisor of a bunch of R&D nerds who don’t like her or her habit of spewing business clichés. Plus, they’re all resigned to doing their jobs, which mainly amount to ripping off Lex Corp designs rather than inventing anything new.

Emily is also the fifth manager the R&D team at Wayne Security has had over the last year, and they have learned not care about their ever-rotating bosses. Plus, she’s a business school graduate who doesn’t actually know anything about inventing new devices. All she does is tell them to invent new things, which they point out they have done. I think possibly the best joke, even if I saw it coming, was when Emily implored them all to “think outside the box” and then discover that one of their projects was a literal box.

One character invents an “Emily Alarm” to warn when “people you don’t like” are nearby. Just in case you wondering just how much her employees hate her.

4) Pretty Much Everyone Is Extremely Mean

With the exception of the character Ron—because I think making comedian Ron Funches play someone who isn’t delightful would break the universe—everyone at Wayne Security is relentlessly negative. In the old pilot, the characters were all some flavor of quirky and pretty upbeat. The old Teddy was a practical joker who tried to make the office more fun; the new Teddy is there to puncture her illusions. The old Jackie (Christina Kirk) was a superhero groupie with a cubicle plastered with photos and posters of them, and a failure as Van Wayne’s (Alan Tudyk) assistant; the new Jackie is a world-weary assistant who drops one-liners at her idiot boss. (The best example is her deadpan delivery of “You’re going to be a great father” after he threatens to fill her pockets with rocks and throw her in the river if she lies about Bruce Wayne being on the phone for him again.) If nothing else, Kirk is funny in both versions, showing her range.

5) The Man in Charge Changed From One Kind of Entitled Ass Into Another

In the original pilot, Tudyk played Del Heller, the son of the insurance company’s owner, installed when her old boss died. He was obsessed with making money by denying claims, and every act of defiance led to him punishing the office by doing things like taking away their bagels or their desks. He was both a dilettante and a tyrant. He was an angry man-child in the old of the show.

Now, Tudyk is Van Wayne—a cousin of Bruce—so desperate to get promoted to a place in the main Wayne Enterprises office in Gotham City that he’s been pressuring everyone under him to come up with something good enough to get him there. That means going through R&D department heads like Emily at a really fast clip. Also, he loves to tout his connection to Bruce Wayne constantly, to the point of his assistant having a running “Bruce Wayne is calling for you” joke. Van Wayne is just as entitled and selfish as Del Heller, but in a more conniving, less pettily destructive way.

6) The Conflict Is Completely Different

The original pilot was framed around Emily trying to fight the Heller’s dictates that they deny more of their customers’ claims. The conflict was contained inside the company, basically. The new conflict is that Wayne Enterprises shuts down their branch of Wayne Security, so Emily needs the team to make something amazing that proves they’re worth keeping in business. And then she needs to get Van—who is ecstatic that the closing of the company means he’s getting absorbed into the Gotham City office—to actually present it. It’s a two-sided fight.

But it’s one largely resolved by the end of the episode: Emily spurs the invention of something great, it keeps the office open, and Van is sad. The need to keep inventing things to stay employed may come up again, but it doesn’t seem like it’s going to be a driving thread. In the old pilot, it seemed like the fight against the boss was going to be the theme of most episodes.

7) The Best Joke From the Original Pilot Is Missing

In the original pilot, there was a raging debate about whether or not their co-worker Hank Detweiler was really Green Lantern. The old pilot spent a lot of screen time having the characters try to prove it, including having a character smash a yellow chair over Hank. That running joke—which included Hank being suspiciously missing during villain attacks—is completely missing, as is the character of Hank (at least for now). It’s a casualty of Danny Pudi’s character going from an upbeat superhero fan to a cynical and sarcastic scientist. I’m hopeful it turns up again in another form in a later episode, because it really did work.

8) The Superfriends Characters Are Mostly Gone

In the old pilot, Emily’s co-workers Wendy and Marvin—named for the classic but goofy Superfriends sidekicks—were squabbling siblings who happened to work together. Now, Marvin is missing completely and a new actress is playing Wendy. It’s not even clear if her name is meant to be a reference anymore.

9) In Fact, Almost Every DC Reference That Wasn’t to Batman Was Cut

I get that, as a company owned by Bruce Wayne, it makes the most sense to make Batman jokes. There are even a few Superman jokes. But the old pilot was a more pan-DC kind of show, whereas this one isn’t. Here’s a list of DC shout-outs from the old pilot our own Evan Narcisse wrote last year:

Del is shown chuckling over the Luthor biography from a few years back, while world clocks showing the time in Atlantis and Themyscira are part of the set dressing. Marvin slams Hank with a yellow, plastic-backed, wooden chair to try and find out once and for all whether he’s Green Lantern in a moment that got big laughs. When Emily is gloomy, Danny Pudi’s Eddie tries to cheer her up by saying “After the blackest day is the brightest day.” There’s a lot of self-awareness with just a touch of raunch, seen when Kirsten Wiig Christina Kirk’s Jackie groans lustily, “I wanna nail Aquaman so hard… He can breathe underwater so when he goes downtown…”

All of those are gone now. There is a meta-joke where the company is shut down because the devices it makes to help people in the event of a villain attack are useless now. “Bruce says we’re obsolete,” says Van in the new pilot. “Gone are the days of a man in a bandit mask stealing a ruby from a museum. Now it’s all just supervillains trying to destroy the Earth, superheroes fighting each other for vaguely defined reasons—our products are powerless to stop them.”

Another joke has Ron explaining that everyone knows that the “number one cause of office accidents is Superman crashing through windows mid-fight.” Both are solid jokes, but both are jokes based on general public awareness of DC’s superheroes rather than a deeper comics knowledge.

10) There’s So Much More Batman

It is almost exhausting how many Batman references are in this show. Emily is obsessed with Bruce Wayne’s book on business, quoting it constantly and carrying it everywhere. Van Wayne talks about his cousin all the time and mentions that he’s “very hard to get ahold of.” The end of the show has Batman using something very similar to the “Emily Alarm” the team invented to catch the Joker. Any one of these jokes might have worked.

All put together, Powerless ends up with the same problem that the first season of Supergirl had: they keep talking about this guy that never shows up. A charitable reading is that this overload is supposed to make clear how funny it is for these people to be working for Batman and not know it. But it’s overkill.

All in all, the new Powerless isn’t better or worse than its original pilot. It’s just very different.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Friday night - Lex was at the studio, no doubt. She always said Friday were her lucky days, something about the potential of the weekend got her music vibes going. You got inside the studio and stood behind the soundboard. She was belting out some gorgeous harmony you had yet to hear, with her eyes closed, really giving it her all. She hadn’t seen you yet, which was good. Finally, the song ended and they said that was a wrap and to take five. She came out of her booth and saw you.

“What are you doing here?” she asked, sounding a little tired, as she sat down in a chair at the soundboard.

“I want to apologize,” you started, stepping toward her.

“Okay, go ahead,” she offered and gestured to a chair.

“I know it was wrong of me to lie to Sebastian about you. There’s no excuse for what I did. There’s no forgiving me for doing that. I’ve talked to him though and I think he’s going to try and get back with you, if you’ll have him. He feels awful for pushing you away--”

“He shouldn’t. It’s not his fault he was being fed lies,” she said with a coolness.

“I know...Nothing I can do will make this right, I know. I just...I was so jealous and I am so in love with Chris and I didn’t know what to do. I wanted to tell you, or tell him, but I thought you were together and I thought I’d be ruining a relationship and...I know, none of this makes sense, I was just so mad and jealous and angry. I thought you were cheating and it just...it got under my skin so I acted irrationally. I’m sorry.”

“Can I ask what your...plan was? I mean, if you really wanted to hurt me, why would you go after my reputation through Sebastian?” she wondered.

“To be honest? I didn’t want to hurt Chris. You and Sebastian were just starting to date and I figured if I steered him away from you, you would be forced to stay with Chris…And hopefully he wouldn’t find out about the affair…I just thought you two were fucking him over and I wanted to hurt you two back…”

You knew admitting what you did, why you did it, and how you did it made it sound even worse, but nothing was worse than the look on your best friend’s face when she found out how you hurt her. Or the cold avoidance Chris was giving you. Both were killing you.

After a few minutes of tense silence, she asked, “You really talked to Seb and set the record straight?”

“Yes, and I’ll continue to attest to your...non-lack of morals. It’s just...ever since we were little, you’ve gotten everything handed to you on a silver platter by people like Chris and Sebastian and...I guess I just wanted my own happy ending for once, like you always get...but I cost you yours to do it.”

She smiled softly.

“I know life hasn’t been as easy for you as it has for me,” she acknowledged, leaning forward and squeezing your shoulder. “I’m sorry you see me as a threat or something though. Sweetie, I want your happiness too. You should’ve just told me you liked Chris, I would’ve gotten you two together sooner. Even if I am legitimately dating a dude, you need to tell me if you have feelings for them. If we get it all out in the open, we can deal with it like adults.”

“Yeah, you’re right. I was just scared and at first I didn’t want to come between you, but when I thought you were cheating, I guess I sort of snapped.”

“I can see that,” she said with a laugh.

“So you’re not mad?” you asked.

“Not any more. I was hurt more than anything. I was hurt you would lie about me, hurt that you would even think I would be capable of fucking over Chris like that but... But you’re trying to turn it around and fix it. You’re owning up to it and trying to make it better and that’s all I can ask.”

She leaned up to hug you.

“Thank you for being understanding,” you said, happy tears threatening to spill.

“Just promise me no more lies and you won’t keep any more secrets,” she requested.

“I promise,” you vowed as you held her tight.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Some time had passed, a little over half a month, and you were still on set around both men that you had accidentally destroyed. According to Lexi, who was the only one of the three talking to you, Sebastian had begged her to take him back. She happily agreed and they were underway for restarting their relationship. Sebastian had sort of forgiven you, but he didn’t know you as well as Lex did nor for as long, so it was going to be a while before he felt comfortable around you again.

As for you and Chris though, there wasn’t much hope there. He avoided you at all cost on set and otherwise. Lex had told you he would ask every time they hung out if you were going to be there. You couldn’t blame him. He was put in a very awkward situation. He’d been the innocent collateral damage in a battle that you fought single handedly.

Now, you were no longer the third wheel, whining about being there. It was Lex, Sebastian, and Chris who hung out. All of them becoming the best of friends, with Lex and Sebastian stealing a kiss here or there, and the only reason you knew about that was thanks to Twitter and Instagram. It was quickly turning into a relationship that the tabloids ate up. They tried to sort out the relationship ordeal between the three, just as you had done. But of course, there wasn’t one mention of your absence anywhere. So, at least now, you couldn’t bitch about watching the two of them have a good time in front of you. They were doing it all together...without you.

One day, as you were picking up dinner, you ran into Chris.

“Oh, hey,” you said in a cheery tone.

“Hi,” he said in a clipped tone.

“I was wondering if we could talk,” you tried.

“Uh, I don’t know, Y/N,” he answered as he tried to step around you, all while not looking in your eyes.

“Please? Five minutes, if you don’t like what I have to say, leave.”

“Okay, five minutes.”

He followed you around the block to your apartment, then followed you inside where you sat the food down on your counter and turned to him.

“So,” you began, dragging the word out.

“So...you wanted to talk?”

“Yeah. I was...I was wondering if--if have you had a chance to think over everything?”

“Think over what?” he asked, his brow furrowing, sounding confused and irritated.

This wasn’t starting off as well as you hoped. A rock seemed to settle in your stomach. “Well...about us. I said I was in love with you and you never really said anything back. Lexi told me you liked me so...I just wondered if there was any hope for us or….what.”

You were going out on a limb, your heart hammering in your chest, but he liked you, you liked him, you apologized, you figured it was time for everyone to move on.

“Us? Y/N, I’m not sure there can be an ‘us’. You did some pretty despicable things.”

“I know but...I apologized and Sebastian and Lex are together so...it’s okay, right?” you tried, your chest tightening as you slowly panicked. You knew that he wouldn’t take you immediately. You knew he would probably be pretty pissed, for a while, but now he was saying the idea of you two being together wasn’t even on his radar any more.

He frowned and became agitated. “No, no it’s not. You don’t get to destroy people’s relationships and because they can find a way back to each other that makes it okay. This isn’t elementary school where the teacher tells you to apologize, and you do, and you and the other kid you hurt pretend everything’s okay.” You flinched at his words. “Look...I did like you...but I’m going to need some time. I can’t exactly trust you. It’s not about what you did but who you did it to. I mean, if you’re willing to fuck over your best friend, your lifelong friend for me, who knows what other kind of chaos you could cause because of a fan or a co-star or whatever else. I could see it if it was some random chick, someone you just met. Spreading a lie or rumor about her might not be quite as big of a deal. It’d still be shitty, but a lot less shitty because you didn’t know her. But this was supposed to be someone you’ve known most of your life and you fucked her over in the blink of an eye for me...for a guy.”

“Chris, please...I’m trying to make amends…” you said, feeling your heart breaking.

“And I’m glad you are. I’m not shitting on that. But did you even think about it? Did you even stop to think about what you were doing? Or did you just go ‘I’m gonna get what’s mine’ and start badmouthing her?”

“Chris...It wasn’t like that...I just...It just came out and...I told you I was mad and...Please try to forgive me. It’s killing me to not talk to you or see you…”

“I’m sorry for that...but...I’m just saying for us...if we’re going to be something...I need some time to process and think about this. I mean, what you did was petty, childish, juvenile, a huge asshole move. When you could’ve just talked to me.” He paused, seeming to catch his breath and gather his thoughts. When he spoke again, his voice was lower. “I need to know I can trust you, and you aren’t going to repeat that sort of shit.”

“I won’t, I promise,” you vowed emphatically.

“I’m gonna let actions and time speak for themselves, okay? I’ll let you know when I’ve made up my mind.”

“But that could be a while,” you said. “What if you take years? Am I just supposed to hold out hope?”

“Two weeks. Give me two weeks. I’ll give you my answer,” he said. In a softer tone, and a gentler face, he said, “I care about you, I’m not saying I don’t...I just...I need to think this all over.”

You nodded numbly and he left your apartment. How could you even think he was interested in getting together? After everything you’d done...why would he want you now? You were a fool, as you had always been...
