Peter Hacks

Man kann mit Würde dekadent sein, aber nicht mit Würde modern

[ulrichgebert]

Die Leseliste ist gar nicht besonders lang, reicht aber ob der Unendlichkeit des letztes Buches weit zurück. Zunächst aber The Good Apprentince von Iris Murdoch, die unfähig ist, ohne faszinierende und schöne Farbigkeit zu schreiben (sagt die Times), warum ich sie Ihnen immer ans Herz lege, so auch in dieser verfahrenen Patchwork-Familien-Geschichte voller guter, aber natürlich zum Scheitern verurteilten Vorsätze, Lebenskonzepte mit jeder Menge Schuld, bisschen Sühne, Liebesgeschichten, Untreue und was noch.

Dann dachte ich, informiere ich mich einmal über Engel und Heilige. Eliot Weinberger hat nachgeforscht, mit widersprüchlichen und sonderbaren Ergebnissen. Es ist eine komische Religion, aber ein sehr schönes Buch.

David Bowie steigt in Warschau aus dem Zug, worüber er später ein berühmtes Lied schreibt, und erlebt einige haarsträubende Abenteuer, die wahrscheinlich nicht genau so passiert sind.

Habe dann nach bloß ca. 45 Jahren entdeckt, daß es noch mehr Geschichten von Onkel Titus und Henriette aus meinem Allzeit-Lieblingskinderbuch Das Windloch gibt. Irgendwie holt sie hier aber der DDR-Altag ein, weshalb es nicht mehr ganz so wundersam ist. Es fiel aber auch schon ein bisschen unter "Nebenhergelesenes", und daneben zwangsläufig etwas verblassendes, neben:

There! I did it! Es geht viel um Tennis, hat mich immer abgeschreckt. Aber es geht ja eigentlich um alles. Süchtigmachende Unterhaltungskultur als Geheimwaffe beispielsweise in Quebecs Freiheitskampf in der Organisation Nord-Amerikanischer Nationen (O. N. A. N.), die Rituale der Bostoner A. A., Dasein als Wunderkind, Dänenprinz, Tennis... Sie sollten es vielleicht selber lesen. Es ist sehr ausladend erzählt, letztlich aber weniger kompliziert, als gemeinhin unterstellt wird, macht akut süchtig und unendlichen Spaß.

Tony: I've figured out your plan on how to sneak out and be Spiderman!

Peter: Well that just proves you're an idiot because I don't have a plan!

The Therapist

There's a new therapist at school.

Normally this wouldn't really bother Peter at all, since he's never gone to see a shrink in his life and doesn't ever plan on it, but there's something... off about this woman.

She seems unassuming enough at first glance. Red hair, green eyes, bright red lipstick. But there is something in her eyes, something that Peter can only describe as a predator looking at its next prey, when she looks around the school at all of the teenagers milling about. Heck, even the way she walks makes her seem as if she is a predator stalking her prey.

It could always be some kind of power move, Peter reasons. He's met people like that before, who try to intimidate everyone around them into thinking that they are superior, that they are the apex predator and anyone who dares to cross them would pay for it dearly.

But his Spidey Sense went crazy around her.

He tries to brush it off as paranoia. He'd pulled an all-nighter last night in the lab with Tony because neither of them had been able to sleep, and he hadn't been sleeping well even before that. (Funny, how it had all started the night after he first bumped into the new therapist in the halls.) So his Spidey Sense is probably out of wack because he's tired. Simple as that.

But it seems like everyone in the school is depressed. Even Ned, who can't even muster up the energy and enthusiasm to talk about Legos or Star Wars or even the weather. It worries Peter.

Because it all started when that therapist came to the school.

He can't ignore it forever, he knows that. There is only so long his Spidey Sense can tell him that she is danger danger danger before he finally listens. He has to do something to help everyone.

So he researches.

And he falls into the rabbit hole of ghosts and ectoplasm and secret government organizations and the little, unassuming town of Amity Park, Illinois.

He doesn't sleep that night.

When he comes to school the next morning, Dr. Penelope Spectra looks him dead in the eyes, and smiles.

David Tennant in 'The Hack' | david capaldi or what?

Guys, I'm begging, screaming, crying, I can't be the only one who absolutely adores this look of his in this pictures? Like yeah, at the end of the day, I'm more looking forward to the show and his perfomance, BUT COME ON?! WHAT'S NOT TO LOVE?!

He looks like a mix of himself and Peter Capaldi, which I absoletly adore, and I will die on this hill. Grey haired David Tennant? Hell yes. David Tennant in a suit in this look? It'll look like a malcolm tucker cosplay.

I'M BEGGING YOU PLEASE, SEE THE VISION

Hiii I love your work & Just genuinely Curious. If you got to make a Deadpool movie, Fox backing you up and all. What would it be like or about? Would it be an original story or adapt certain storylines like how Andrew & Tobey did with Spidey? Any specific actor in mind for Wade? Idk just again curious how a Sci made DP film would be

oouugh... my dream deadpool movie is honestly the first deadpool movie but with like. some changes. not even major changes. even ryan can stay. i can't really think of anyone i'd like to replace him – i've always been kind of bad at fan casts - my imagined wade wilson is so specific, i don't think there are any actors that could come close, no sir. i think i'd do the origin - as is - i kind of like the flipping from present to past motif they have – i'd probably keep more scenes they had in the script in the final film that they wound up cutting – i've revolved it in my head, really, how i'd fix that first deadpool movie, and really - first, i'd keep this scene in:

and i'd shift the ending so that wade just... doesn't get the girl at the end. vanessa walks away. because he's become something else. and actually, a guy like deadpool shouldn't get the girl. he saves her, he saves the day, but actually – becoming deadpool, and becoming so wantonly violent and you know, becoming the exact kind of killing machine he did not want to be – 

oy.

i feel like the film wanted to set up this theme that wade needs to be better than this. that he desires to be better. but when he becomes deadpool he spirals back into old violent habits because he deems himself unloveable and does everything in his power to make himself "loveable" (aka attractive) again for vanessa. but what he doesn't realise is that it's not his appearance that does that – it's his actions.

so i think my perfect deadpool movie would be that first deadpool movie, but committing to the theme that actually, just because wade was dealt a shitty hand doesn't mean he has to be a monster. and that his violence isn't something funny or romantic. and that he can change. instead of us seeing this guy who clearly wanted to escape violence... being pushed back into violence and what's worse, being rewarded for it.

it's such a weird, twisted moral attached to the first deadpool movie and i'm constantly thinking about it. i remember the first time i read the leaked script, back in like, 2012, i said: "it's so good, but dear god i hope they change the ending." and they didn't. they just did not. and so when i first saw the deadpool movie i was so thrilled but. when the credits rolled i kind of audibly sighed too. because wade shouldn't get that ending. not yet. not until he does the work.

i also would've given vanessa her powers. or i would've at least teased her powers. i think having it be a surprise that wade didn't know is a delight. save it for the sequel, but tease it. or, honestly – the original script kind of did tease it. like, it's very readable that vanessa could be a shapeshifter, in the original script. she's shapeshifter-coded.

i think i wouldn't do a deadpool movie without first doing it as an origin – the set-up is so important. i don't have any sort of grand plotline i'd do with wade. maybe i'd love to write a cable and deadpool movie – or an x-force movie – god, i want an x-force movie so bad. but honest to god, there's not really any plotlines i'm eager to adapt for the big screen. wade wilson has decidedly less interesting villains and storylines than spider-man has, unfortunately. like, sorry. all his villains kind of are stupid. they've really tried to give him villains but, dear god. the best villain he's ever been up against is his ex-wife. and i don't know, i don't think i particularly want to see shiklah in the movies. i think i'd much rather see grounded, personal stories with wade – ones that don't deal with monsters and supernatural beasts – but, with other mutants, i guess.

if i were to pitch a new fresh deadpool movie in the existing deadpool franchise, save for an x-force movie, i'd love to see wade being recruited as an x-chaperone, and having to look after all these mutant kids but him being completely out of his depth throughout, and they drag him on some huge "world-ending-stakes" adventure but actually, the personal stakes stay very small, and it's almost a ferris buellers day off affair but with more spandex. these kids with their powers run amok and wade's trying to wrangle them but is also whisked away in all the fun of it and is actually worse than they are when it comes to staying well-behaved. they take over the macy's parade... maybe logan swoops in to yank wade by the ear... other x-men cameos abound. that's a deadpool movie i'd love to see. if i were to make a fresh one, that would be it. ferris bueller's day off, but with more spandex.

"He'd Rather Act Than Eat" - Peter Lorre article in Modern Screen (Dec 1935 - Nov 1936)

Check those captions:

"Mrs. Lorre"! She has a NAME, her acting prowess dazzled that young man beside her, just because she temporarily went on hiatus arrrrrghhh

But oh, does he look adorable, the way he gazes at her. She's got all his attention.

Here's the full article, including a ridiculous sentence that claims not even the women in love with him would call Peter remotely handsome. Grr.

But you know what? That cloth-eared bint of a journalist is onto something.

He's not remotely handsome. No. He's FULL ON FUCKING GORGEOUS, YOU HELLHOUND.

cooking up an AU where Peter is nudged more into the gray area where he isn't a villain nor a hero, but works for himself as a hacker/information broker who also might or might not be going for a huge database chock-full of information on New York's most powerful people that he could either sell for a huge amount of money, use for blackmail or straight up start a war between all the criminal overlords "information is power" and all that

he is just known as The Spider, but a lot of people think he's an urban legend, because he likes to work very discreetly and makes sure to cover up his tracks. it's mostly those shady people/criminals that are aware of him who hire him to get information. he also occasionally helps to track down missing people or hunts down human traffickers. he doesn't care as long as he gets paid.

he lies to his friends and family that he works as a cybersecurity guy for a company

Inevitably, conversation drifts to Cats, the widely panned film adaptation of the Andrew Lloyd Webber musical that, for its sheer madness, has gained cult status as a wonderfully distracting comedy-watch in the current crisis. Dench visibly prickles at its mention. “The cloak I was made to wear!” she cries. “Like five foxes f**king on my back.” Filmed in green screen, and with her eyesight impaired, Dench has yet to see the film in full but was far from pleased at how her Old Deuteronomy turned out looking in the pictures she’s seen. She’d hoped she would look rather elegant. Instead: “A battered, mangy old cat,” she says, appalled. “A great big orange bruiser. What’s that about?” I reassure her that irony-loving younger audiences can’t get enough of it, and she nods. “I had a very nice email… no, not an email.” A text? “Yes, a text, from Ben Whishaw [the actor], who just doted on it. So sweet. So lovely.”
