an ode to the unique magic of the cinema
relevant link/disclaimer under the cut
here's the SNL skit I mentioned in the intro. I truly had no recollection that it was from Anya Taylor-Joy's episode until I rewatched it to post here
I poke pretty hard at some movies here, but at the end of the day, this is all in good fun. if you happen to love one of the movies I roasted a little, it's amazing that you have such a special connection with them! this is just my take. part of the joy of cinema is how people can come away from the same work with vastly different thoughts and experiences.

I wanted to see this French movie because I thought/hoped it would be gay. But sad to say, neither of the leads are gay. Despite the fact that they live together in an apartment that only has one bed (and they admit they share) and share their debts. And when they have the chance to move into a bigger, more spacious house, they still live together AND SHARE BATHS.

There are moments when it looks like the brunette is willing to risk it all...

And she has a weird flirtatious thing with the antagonist of the movie...

...but neither of those go anywhere.
But it was still a pretty fun movie, overall. It just felt like Pauline had a whole lesbian subplot that got cut.

Annabeth: I, a child, had to earn Thalia’s love, that’s how the world works! I have to earn my moms love. Love is transactional, you gotta be worthy of it first silly :)

New Orleans French Film Fest 2024
It’s the more laidback of the New Orleans Film Society‘s two annual film festivals, but New Orleans French Film Fest is still always a major highlight of the city’s cinematic calendar.  It’s more of a for-the-locals event than the Oscars-qualifying red-carpet pageantry of New Orleans Film Fest proper, and since it’s all contained to one single-screen venue, attendees tend to become fast friends…

The Crime is Mine and other distractions
I recently watched a French film (I'm cultured) called Mon crime, or as you English speakers (I don't speak French) might call it: The Crime is Mine. The film is set in Paris (which is in France (which is in Europe)) and takes place during the 1930's. As I recall, the film does not specify the exact year, but based on some dialogue it would seem to take place no later than 1934, I'd say. Many moons ago I watched another film, Fantastic Beasts: The Secrets of Dumbleydore, which takes place in 1932. Similar periods in time wouldn't you not leave unsaid? I will now make several irrelevant, yet provocative, observations using my impoverished understanding of the time period.
Let us begin with la France. In the 1930's France was quite unstable politically. Now perhaps that's not saying much given that there was very little political stability to go around in Europe at the time, but France had 14 'Prime Minister' equivalents (the President didn't have much power at the time) from 1930 to 1935. That's a lot of (male) leaders! It's possible that they were simply spoiled for choice and couldn't settle on anyone to run things for longer than a few months. It could also be that internal political divisions made it difficult to form a governing coalition.
There were economic problems on account of the Very Big Depression and foreign policy concerns, what with those Germans to the east (we'll get to them in a few seconds depending on how fast you read). People had different ideas about how to handle such issues, and some thought the best way of solving them would be to overthrow the Third Republic in favor of something a bit more authoritarian (the Germans eventually did that for them). There was even a riot by certain unsavory types (including proto-fascists) near where the National Assembly met in which 17 people died. The Crime is Mine didn't have much to say about any of this, or much to do with it since it's a crime-comedy, but still it would have been nice to see some protesters or something.
In Fantastic Beasts: The Subtitle several scenes take place in Berlin (and not just the magical Berlin underworld but the actual Berlin upperworld) in 1932. As you might expect, Germany in the early 30's was far more tumultuous than France and suffered much more from the Large Depression. There were three big elections in 1932, two because no Chancellor could form a functional government given the make-up of the Reichstag, and one for a new President. These elections were generally preceded by mass (increasingly violent) political demonstrations. Hitler became Chancellor in early 1933 and within a year Germany was a one party state under Nazi rule.
It's probably a good idea that none of this real world turmoil was depicted, or even alluded to, in the background of the Fantastic Beast film. It would be a bit distracting when there are already intra-wizard politics to get to (which I guess are supposed to mirror real German politics in some way except that's something the viewer has to bring to it cause the film doesn't depict the state of German politics). I don't think it takes away from the film (which has bigger problems anyway), but I wonder what the point is of having the movie take place in these locations at these times if it really wants to be the roaring 20's.
Good day.

The Crime Is Mine    [trailer]
A young actress, is accused of murdering a famous producer. After being acquitted, she begins her new life of fame and success, until the truth comes out.
Breezy crime comedy that succeeds at creating situations where characters say the most absurd things but it feels like it's the most normal thing to say at that moment. Which is a hallmark of comedic stage plays like this.
The whole cast is game. At the end I wanted to rise and applaud like at the theatre.
