Mini Reviews: "Wish," "American Fiction," and "Lisa Frankenstein"

Finally caught up to watching some movies from 2023, and others:

Bambi: I don't why they're making a horror movie version. This WAS a horror movie! Just the scene of that poor little bird getting freaked out and bolting from its hiding place only to...that was worse than the part with Bambi's mom because you actually saw the body.

The Adventures of Huck Finn: The version with Elijah Wood and Courtney B. Vance. It probably hasn't aged well, but after reading Percival Everett's James, I had to give it a watch.

Capote: Forget that stupid Ryan Murphy show, Philip Seymour Hoffman's Oscar-winning performance of Capote before he hit it big with In Cold Blood is a much better use of your time. I still don't like Capote as a person, but since this takes place back when he still had a modicum of decency, you can empathize with him slightly more.

Nightmare Alley: Part gothic horror and part noir movie, Bradley Cooper plays a carnival worker who fronts as a psychic. Probably the most despicable character he's ever played.

The Munsters: Rob Zombie, what the hell did you do to our beloved Herman and Lily Munster? This was hot garbage and nothing at all like the TV show we all knew and loved.

Morbius: Couldn't even get through five minutes. Nobody asked for this. Nobody.

American Fiction: I wish this had gotten more Oscars instead of just best adapted screenplay. A biting commentary of white guilt and pandering in the publishing industry. Now they HAVE to make a movie version of Yellowface!

Wish: I don't get why people though this was terrible. While it's certainly not Disney's best, it's far from its worst. It was cute, even if it was corny, and I liked the easter eggs. You can't just endlessly bitch about all the sequels and remakes, then turn your nose up at anything original because it doesn't meet your standards.

Shirley: Regina King rocks as Shirley Chisholm. Even though the movie has gotten mixed reviews, it's still worth watching, not just to tell the story of Chisolm's 1972 presidential campaign, but also for a takeaway that people have lately forgotten: if you don't vote, all your outrage is basically just yelling at a brick wall.

Lisa Frankenstein: Everyone that loved Heathers and Jennifer's Body will eat this up. It wasn't exactly my cup of tea, but it was entertaining -- and I love the '80s setting. I just wish Robin Williams were alive to see the quirky horror comedy movie his daughter made.

just saw someone say Rick Riordan making a TV show is just as bad as anything JKR has done. BFFR you're comparing Rick Riordan trying to make his world more inclusive, changing some parts because of money/time constraints, or just making changes cus he thinks they're needed, to JKR being a terrible person!

#and not to say Ricks work is perfect. ill be the firat to tell you his mistakes. his aspec rep is shit. his minorities rep has problems #he has general time line problems. im not says hes perfect but he tried from a good place #jkr named a character ChoChang. her Scottish character blow stuff up and tried to make alcohol. named a black character Shackelbolt #like damn get over yourself. #percy jackson #percy jackon and the olympians #percy jackson and the olympians #percy series #pjo series #pjo #pjo tv show #pjo tv series #pjo tv adaptation #if you wanna say shit about Rick ok. but be correct about it #how is he just as bad as jkr for not using the book he made in the early 2000s an exact script for the TV show being released in 2024? #and they yall had the audacity to be pissed when he didn't put a song about sex thats literally says `fuck her face° in the background of #LITERAL 12 YEAR OLDS in a place with memory altering properties..... thats whats you wanted. children getting high to a song about sex. #°oH bUt iN tHe mOvIe tHaT i WaTcHeD wHeN i waS tWeLvE' where the actors where like what 18? and weren't 12? that one? 🙄 #some of you are getting on my nerves. yes the show's pacing is eh really thats a reason to curisfy Rick Riordan? thats what you're deciding #this is the line? a tv show thats on its first season and is more accurate then the movies that came out? #good to know

so weird being an eldest sibling who can't relate to most of the "eldest sibling memes". not the being a surrogate parent against your will to your younger siblings and being expected to set the bar for success in everything you did, i did have to deal with that, but all the jokes about how you were the only one resembling an actual normal human being in your family and your younger siblings were like imps sent from hell to torment you. because out of me and my brother i was the devil sibling. he didn't like to bring his friends over to our house because they were scared of his creepy sister who would stare out at them from the windows with her horrible dead shark's eyes and read books and watch shows on tv with photos of real life decomposing corpses and diseased rotting flesh in them that would give them nightmares.

#🐉 #i unintentionally terrified so many of my brothers friends by just hanging out in the living room watching horror movies #when he had them around for sleepovers #and like. wildlife and medical shows. it was usually those because we didnt have good tv and i had to save up to buy dvds from the store. #unironically my teen years were like those 'guys say they want a goth gf but if they met a real goth gf theyd get scared' posts

JFC that Munsters movie trailer looks awful. Not because it looks cheap and cheesy, but because that doesn’t look or sound anything like Herman or Lily or Grandpa.

the percy jackson tv show is actually great when there isn’t a little shit in your ear telling you it’s not “book accurate”

#it’s book accurate enough FOR ME #god can we just try to enjoy something for once #it’s an ADAPTATION. it is not gonna be copy and pasted from the books #but they have the tone and the humor and the CHARACTERS and the themes right #isn’t that what really matters? #and some of yall are acting like they changed the entire plot when really it’s just small changes that service the tv format #and deepen character relationships and interactions #seeing book fans say the movies are better is the most absurd thing i’ve heard in my life… like did we watch the same movies #every single thing the show does wrong is still light years better than every single thing the movies got right #can’t we just enjoy that please #can you tell i’m sick of the nitpicking😭 #anyways maybe try to have fun for once in ur life idk #also ur allowed to have constructive criticism that’s so valid. or criticism at all #ofc u should critique the media u enjoy #but saying it’s not a good adaptation is kinda crazy to me idk #when it’s so clear how much thought was put in by the creators and cast to get it right this time #pjo tv #pjo tv show #pjotv #percy jackson #pjo #percy jackson and the olympians #pjo spoilers #percy jackon and the olympians #ruch rambles #sorry to hide all that in the tags but it feels very angry and i don’t want to be mean😭 i have the crit tag filtered for a reason lol #i’m choosing joy #but i just wanted to put these thoughts out there

If I had a penny for every time I cried when Abed hugged someone goodbye, I'd have two pennies, which isn't a lot, but it's weird that it happened twice

tbh its not entirely fair to paint all blatant rep as poor in comparison to queercoding (altho i do love some good queercoding). i think the reason so much blatant rep is Like That, while queercoded stuff feels so much more meaningful and real, is because the blatant rep we often experience is made to Market To The Queers. while it may have queer creatives working on it, the reason its created is to make money off of queers. its trendy. so just write a fairly surface level fluffy movie about white queer teens and get some cash! its blatant, which means it will be treated as a groundbreaking queer media especially by liberals.

while queercoded media on the other hand (intentional or not) cant or wont just slap two conventionally attractive teens on screen and make them kiss and get those rainbow dollars. its an expression of queer silencing, the quiet thats left when you arent allowed to say what you desperately want to. when you cant spoon-feed your audience queerness you have to. yknow. actually think about what it means and how to express that artistically. you have to show and not tell.

thats all to say, there is blatant queer rep that is good. but you probably aren't gonna find it on amazon prime. that kind of rep is being made by queer artists making indie films. i promise you its not either "blatant queerness that feels shallow" or "deep queerness thats not allowed to be blatant". theres a secret third option and its "capitalism will never liberate you and you need to actually support indie queer artists and actively reject queer capitalism to experience the breadth and width of what queer art is capable of being and doing."

#m. #like verilybitchie has talked about “bad queer rep” in a video essay (check her out) #and she mentioned one bisexual tv show made by a bisexual #that was both blatant and interesting #or uhhh that transfem vampire movie #like. this shit exists. you just need to put effort into #breaking free from spoonfed capitalist media and interact w indie art #not trying to be pretentious either! #if you enjoy fluffy capitalist queer media good for you fr thats 100% fine #and its not NOT important that we CAN have that pandering now #but like. from an artistic standpoint #capitalism prioritizes money not art. it will never care about you #queer media is only being produced bc enough people will go see it that studios will put it out #its not even a matter of homophobia rlly. we only matter as long as we make money #when queers stop being profitable to netflix queer indie artists will still make thought provoking takes on queerness
