#me throughout s1: gd

[1-800-i-ship-it]

just watched lcla ep 8 losing my mind i need to stop watching this right before bed...

[wuntrum]

courtney I finally finished s3 of Succession and I’m losing my gd mind PLEASE give me all your spoilery predictions/opinions/thoughts/feelings please please PLEASE !

HIIII okay sorry for not getting to this sooner but yeah wow. WOW! the finale!!!! so freaking crazy!!! (gonna leave my spoilery thoughts under a read more)

sooooo i am still shocked and awed that tom actually Did That. not in a "how could he!" way but in a "good for him" way LOLLL. that whole decision and conversation with greg were actually insane. its such a perfect culmination of both of their arcs throughout the whole season though (particularly tom)...i'm rewatching the whole show with a friend right now and i think in s1ep6 ewan tells greg "paddle your own canoe", and that's absolutely what tom did in that moment. the tomshiv fail marriage is sooooo fascinating to me, like thinking about when at austerlitz logan told shiv that she only ended up with tom because she knows he won't betray her...like guess what! not anymore! i'm so intrigued to see what actually happens in season 4 because there's no more hiding from it really, like tom Knows and shiv Knows...the fall out from that whole convo is gonna be so crazy. (that last shot with tom over shiv's shoulder...OUGH)

i also think it shows (or maybe builds onto the conclusion) that greg isn't dumb. he actually has like, very acute intuition even if he doesn't know what he's doing half the time. (he's really good at falling upwards LOL) like tom said to kendall, logan's never gotten fucked over once. and even though tom and gregs relationship is. Like That for lack of a better description. tom has genuinely always looked after greg. the rest of the family views greg as an afterthought because in their dynamic, he literally is (cousin vs. being an "actual roy"). so, of course greg would say yes! (and there's this really great article which talks about how greg's "of course" is the total antithesis to the show's running theme of "fuck off"...really good read).

i have conflicted feelings about connor generally buT i'm so interested to see how he continues to develop in season 4 because i feel like he's starting to be written like an actual character now. the argument the siblings have really showed a different side to connor that i think the audience knew was there, but it hadn't been laid out like that before. (also if connor Actually becomes president, or even makes it particularly far, that's gonna be a sight to behold LOL) i also think the alliance shiv+kendall+roman created is SUPER interesting. like, was it a bad idea in terms of the OpTiCs for kendall to confess to what he did to that kid? probably, because bits of truth like that have been shown to be super damaging. BUT, its one of the only moments in the show where that doesn't really matter, and seeing these people come together as family and not like, the business sense of family, actual family, was huge. (also i think it speaks to kendall's complete rejection of the waystar/roy family dynamic at this point. he really does want out, so he's gonna be vulnerable in a way that was punished before bc he doesn't care about fitting in to that structure anymore). and seeing roman finally stick up to logan was CRAZY...the amount of development he's had since season one (being too afraid of logan to cast the deciding vote in the vote of no confidence) is incredible. (if s1 was kendall's, and s2 was shiv's, then s3 feels equally like roman's AND tom's seasons. rooting for a greg-oriented s4 tbh).

i think one of the sort of points that succession is trying to make (or at least, how i'm reading it), is that even though there's this vying for power, no one actually wins. these people are all so rich and yet so miserable. so even though logan might be winning through selling waystar to gojo and renegotiating the shares, his declining health is proof that even he won't always win. he had the chance to be the bigger man in the waystar/gojo transaction, buy them out to boost waystar, but he made the wrong decision, and now is trying to find a way to win (via screwing over his kids, and selling waystar). so...while i don't think anyone can particularly "win" succession...i AM rooting for tomstar gregco, at least on the business end. they’re both outsiders to the roy family, and i think that’s created a certain amount of hunger/desperation that no one else really has. (though i definitely think there's probably gonna be a betrayal, honestly by greg to tom? IDK though)

in terms of predictions i don't think i have a lot...i am REALLY trying to manifest a greg-centered season, so i think ewan is probably going to end up dying, and maybe greg's dad will finally come into the narrative? i just really want greg to have a chance to shine emotionally, since i feel like all the other characters have kinda gotten that to one extent or another. let's let nicholas braun cry!! really fuckin feel it!! the amount of baby-planning talk between tom and shiv makes me think that's also going to be a key point in season 4...although i also think a tomshiv divorce is kind of in the future, so we'll see LKDJFL. i genuinely don't know if/how the kids are going to find a way to come on top of this whole situation, but i'm very excited to see. (also since it appears that roman and gerri's thing is over (</3) i hope tabitha comes back...that'd be fun)

Good Girls 4x07 Soundtrack Review

Ohhhhh sweet Carolyn with a Y (...good songs never seemed so good?)

Songs that made me feel things?

I MEAN. What a perfect question to kick things off, because the aptly named ‘Over and Over’ by Bobby Vinton has kept me in my feelings since 4x07 aired. So much so that I issued a, well, 25% apology to Jonathan Leahy for losing his trust hahaha—but coming from me after s3, that’s a big deal!!

Montage check! A wasted or taken soundtrack opportunity?

Taken!! The mom training montage with the girls and Phoebe gave us a delicious lil bop (that JL described as ‘a miraculous dusty groove’, which, YES) that I think had some French lyrics?? Excellent. I actually did some research on ‘Aha Aha’A Ha Ha’A’ by Paul Diamond bc I had a LOT of questions about it?? But all I could find is that it a. was released in Italy in the 80s (@mego42 ARE YOU PROUD OF ME?!) and b. it's only on vinyl/youtube. 

Bop/banger status?

Me rewatching the mom!training montage and groovin’ to Paul Diamond:

Any memorable songs?

Our now-beloved Crime Marriage anthem, ‘Over and Over’ by Bobby Vinton. JL was like “I think you, me, we deserve a very loud love song” and he was right and he should say it.

Fave song from the episode?

Not to be predictable by choosing OVER AND OVER, but uh, definitely ‘Over and Over.’ Honorable mention to the end scene song, ‘Figure 8′ by Body/Negative bc it sounds like a haunted, broken music box?? I think it added to whole Beth/Rio ~you’ve got a choice, choose me otherwise you’ll break us and I’ll haunt you~ tension/cliffhanger. It’s also just...extremely my vibe. 

Least fave song from the episode?

I don’t? actually?? have one???

How did the music fit with the episode’s ~vibe~?

So 4x07 had two very different vibes woven VERY closely together throughout it: one was lighthearted and playful (think: ‘grandma’s pissed we missed dessert’ and mom training), while the other was tense as hell (think: literally every time Rio was on screen giving Beth a million opportunities to stop lying to his face hahaha). Basically, it was a gd masterpiece of an episode and it reminded me exactly why I love gg in the first place. It walked that fine line of... we’re having fun but we’re also f*cking nervous!

That said!! I think the music fit SO well. And I’m not just saying that bc JL literally chose a song whose lyrics mention “one lifetime” not being long enough and put it over a Beth/Rio scene. I’m also not NOT saying that. Even the song in the background at Rio’s bar (’My Face on Your Head’ by Joel Jerome) was a good choice. Maaaaybe I’m reading into it too much, but while v subtle, the vocals in it keep looping, which made me think about how many times Beth/Rio have met in a bar and had conversations/situations that also loop. Like they keep going through the same shit, different days. Broken record vibes, y’know? I dig it.

Wishlist/Manifest-The-Songs-You-Want List

My ~feelings~ song tank has been refilled by 4x06 and 4x07, so I think I’m just really craving an alternative jam/bop/what-have-you (I’m clinging on to ‘Kimono Hill’ and ‘Something For Your M.I.N.D.’ which are so great that I just... I’m greedy. I want more of them!). 

Overall ranking:    over and over and over and over and over/10

Episode Track Listing:

My Face on Your Head - Joel Jerome Aha Aha’A Ha Ha’A - Paul Diamond Over and Over - Bobby Vinton Figure 8 - Body/Negative

watched 1x07 with @sprousehart-x. i’m either gonna need to drag my butt to the living room to watch my dvds or get a free trial of youtube premium bc consistently saying “pause” to her is getting old lmao.

also i forgot how fucking ashley centric the first season is. the acting is so bad in s1 but it’s ok bc everyone is fetus.

rose always being disappointed in the lack of snake will forever make me lol.

and jimmy’s rivalry with sean literally starts over him being cut from the team for hurting sean on purpose. i know jimmy grows throughout the show but gd he’s such an entitled drama king in the beginning lmao.

[wellward-a]

i feel like it simply isn’t dealt with fully that zelda is... canonically... a terrible effing person and that she treats people, repeatedly, like shit. she murders hilda over and over, she’s dismissive and nasty to sabrina especially throughout s1, she chooses blackwood over her family, oh and there’s that cute little scene where she barks at ambrose to stop thinking about his murdered boyfriend and focus on her wedding... it’s not that i don’t think she has good qualities or don’t find her interesting, but The Fax R The Fax, and largely these actions go beyond things that are like, “oh aunt zelda has flaws but we can live with them,” to massive things that horribly affect others’ lives (like murdering. her. sister. on a whim!).

but then... i don’t think zelda really is, ever, a complete character. i don’t think anyone writing the show particularly cares about portraying her as a full, rounded individual. miranda brings a wonderful depth and intensity to the character but i simply don’t see it in the writing. i remember feeling genuinely confused by the line at the end of s1--the one where she tells sabrina that she thinks you “simply do” as “humbly” as you can or whatever? i was like... what the forking fork? when did zelda suddenly develop an ability to verbalize honesty and authenticity--indeed, when did she ever value those qualities in the gd first place? --which isn’t to say she can’t do honest, authentic acts--like recognizing how poorly she’s treated hilda and working to connect w her in s1--just that it seemed like a HUGE swing from that to her suddenly sounding as eminently quotable as a christian mom pinterest meme.

this is my forkin issue, btw, with the obsessive shipping in this fandom and a dimension of why i don’t partake in it. i want zelda to be a fucking character in her own right before i see her in a ship, het or homo. i want proof that the writers see women, especially older women, as human beings before i want them showing me two ladies fuckin each other.

[spectraling]

It'd be nice if these "Jonathan is a creep" people showed the same energy towards Steve when he watched Nancy through her bedroom window after she told him she didn't want to see him, especially since he did this more than once, doesn't seem to think he did anything wrong, and was never called out for it in the show. It's almost like these people don't actually care about men being creeps, but are actually just looking for an excuse to hate one man in particular.

Would be nice, wouldn’t it. I don’t think it’s out of line to criticize bad behavior, but it falls flat when you’re not willing to look at what other characters also do. @jancys-blue-bayou have a bunch of good posts on the hypocrisy of shaming Jonathan for the bad things he did (that EVERYONE agrees on are bad and that he was rightfully punished for by having his camera removed for the last gd time), but completely ignoring all of the problematic/over the line things Steve is seen doing throughout both S1 and 2, like this one.

Steve makes a number of dick moves/mistakes towards Nancy, but he is redeemed by changing his behavior. The same sympathy is not often extended to Jonathan. And that makes no sense to me.

[miss-pettigrew]

I know I’ve had a few posts about this last chapter already, and with the last one dealing with fun things like rape consent, i did want to give some shoutouts to some things I REALLY liked about this chapter and why I’m prettttty stoked about S3.

1. Seungbae is now a free agent. 

Like we all knew this dude was a shitty cop which made for a interesting but limited dynamic as a “antagonist” for Sangwoo (and Bum). But now that he’s no longer tied by the law, there is no way he’s going to let this situation go. If anything I imagine him becoming more and more obsessed (especially with Sangwoo and Bum personally) as he attempt to exact his own form of justice. I’m reaaaaally looking forward to that. 

2. Sangwoo and Bum’s relationship

Yes this chapter was tough to read. We as an audience have been bracing ourselves for their first penetrative sex scene and it went more or less how most of us expected. But I think there are some truly interesting undercurrents that are fascinating and I honestly find it thrilling and I cannot wait to see what is going to happen.

For example, focusing on this chapter alone downplays how much of a force of nature Bum is becoming. 

I thought back to basically this entire season and how their relationship has developed and Bum is not nearly as helpless as he was S1. And it’s fascinating. Just a few chapters ago, we literally watched as Sangwoo’s grip on reality begin to crumble as soon as Bum was “gone.”

And the way Bum, despite being brutally raped still managed to turn the dynamic around enough that he still made Sangwoo nearly afraid of the effect Bum has on him.

Up until now I’ve not been a super big fan of Bum. He’s not a good person. But he is a victim and I sympathize with him and I especially cannot handle how he’s physically treated by literally everyone. But fuck, this chapter made me realize that Bum is NOT helpless. He’s not. He’s actually insanely perseverant- not manipulative, he’s resilient and focused. 

But to hold enough power of Sangwoo that he’s able to literally make him cum by the way he says his name, like hot damn. Get me some of that.

To be a little corny about it, no matter how much Sangwoo likes to beat, bruise and break Bum’s skin, Bum is still the one who’s managing to get under Sangwoo’s.

I love it? I would love to see Bum become more and more aware of how much power he does have over Sangwoo. And I honestly think he does know, to an extent. GIVE ME MOOOOORE.

3. WTF is going to happen next

Bum and Sangwoo are now in their most interesting dynamic by far. Seungbae is finally set up to be a proper antagonist. We have the uncle threads still hanging loose. We have Sangwoo’s next inevitable victim.

Like, not to be too crass, but you know when you start a relationship with someone new and you sleep with them and that’s ALL you want to do for a good chunk of time like this is a GD “honeymoon” phase of an arc. I’m curious if that’s what is going to happen for them.

Like, we saw how smug and turned on Sangwoo looked for half of this chapter. But that last frame of him is SO GOOD because he knows what an effect Bum has on him and that he’s NOT in control it’s just so good and I feel like this has been my favorite chapter since the last time I said it was my favorite chapter.

Stoked that we have a little bit of time to recover from this and allow Koogi time to get herself all caught up. I’d rather she take a longer hiatus in between seasons and less breaks throughout the season. Until then, let’s be excited about official art (which we’ve already seen some!).

I really do miss the intrigue of previous stories arcs (like the man from the bar and even the chapter when Bum tried to escape). Fingers crossed we see some of that soon.

Stuck Inside Media Diary Week 5

I realized the last movie I saw in theaters was Little Women for the third time. Then that got me thinking about how I ranked my Top whatever movies from last year and inconsequential ranking things is. It was probably the movie that makes me feel the best; it and Knives Out were the two movies I saw the most in a theater last year and they were both the ones that I get excited talking about with people. Good flicks, you should check ‘em out. (I also re-learned recently that Emma Stone was originally supposed to play Meg who was played by Emma Watson. Had this happened, my brain would’ve collapsed due to trying to figure out how to balance crushes on Greta Gerwig, Saoirse Ronan, Florence Pugh, Laura Dern and Emma Stone all in the same thing).

Deliverance, Boorman 1972

On the one hand there is no real way to prepare you for how awful the assault on Ned Beatty and John Voight scene is as well as having me wonder if this was actually a Vietnam movie masked in something about the destruction of the natural world (maybe it’s both or just one). On the other hand, I thought it’d be funny to compare the characters to this to the characters in American Pie, but there’s no Stiffler or Jim’s Dad in this movie, so it doesn’t completely work.

Mad Men, “Long Weekend”, “Indian Summer”, “Nixon Vs. Kennedy”, “The Wheel” [season 1 finale]

There’s two things I’ll never forget the first time I ran through the first season of Mad Men: 1. Thinking “is Don even good at his job? I don’t think we’ve even seen this guy even really do his job yet, how did he become partner?” and then “The Wheel happens”. 2. I had let one of my favorite History teachers borrow my DVDs (this would happen again in my life when I later lent my English teacher The Wire when I was a senior two years later) and when he finished the first season he and I talked about what dumb-dumb idiots we were because we hadn’t figured out that Peggy was definitely pregnant and were surprised by this revelation, while his girlfriend at the time figured it out instantly.

Parks And Rec, “Greg Pikitis”, “Ron And Tammy”

That these two episodes were on back-to-back was probably the moment in the public consciousness that Parks was the real deal. How could you not; I watch “Greg Pikitis” every Halloween.

The Last Dance, Parts 1 & 2

I can’t remember the last thing I watched in real time on the tv. It’s very possible, though I don’t think so, that The Last Dance might be quarantine great and in real life very, very good. It doesn’t really matter, because this thing is just crazy fun to watch, as a person who was not able to watch Jordan basketball and sometimes thinks that Gen Xers gets way too [whatever that Spongebob meme is where you capitalize every other letter in a sentence] about Michael Jordan. The music cues are God-tier.

Joe Pera Talks With You, “Joe Pera Shows You Iron”, “Joe Pera Takes You To Breakfast”, “Joe Pera Takes You On A Fall Drive”

“Joe Pera Takes You To Breakfast” might be one of the funniest episodes of television I’ve seen in a long time. As someone who takes too much enjoyment in stream of consciousness humor, I might be too in the bag for this show. I certainly don’t know how to sell it to any of you, other than it might be the perfect counterpart to Review. That could just be that Joe Pera looks like an alt-universe Andy Daly or it could be that Forrest MacNeil could’ve, desperately, used a friend like Joe Pera if only just to see how they’d interact with each other.

Under The Silver Lake, Mitchell 2018 [as of now this is available on Prime]

I’m embarrassed that I caved into watching a stoner movie on 4/20, but I’m glad it was this. This weird, gross and beautifully shot weird little movie that really did some good work in reminding me that Andrew Garfield is good. People will argue that this broke his brain, when in reality it was those two embarrassing Spider-Man movies.

Joe Pera Talks With You, “Joe Pera Shows You How To Dance”, “Joe Pera Talks You Back To Sleep”, “Joe Pera Reads You The Church Announcements”

So “Church Announcements” was the first episode of this show that I had ever seen, because I had three different friends recommend it to me because I had posted something about “Baba O’Riley” very off-handedly, not even knowing this episode existed. It’s probably the purest expression of joy and one of the most sincerely happy things I might have ever seen. I love this show so much.

The Birdcage, Nichols 1996 [as of now this is available on Prime]

This is a good reminder that Nathan Lane is insanely talented and easily one of the most undervalued performers alive. I wanted to watch a Gene Hackman movie and this was available and it’s pretty good. Sometimes plays shouldn’t be turned into movies, that’s my take here-what do you want from me.

Better Call Saul, “Something Unforgivable”

Safe to say Saul’s got the belt. I was listening to Greenwald and Ryan the other night and someone had throughout a hypothetical to them that if they could would they want Gilligan and the gang to to remake Breaking Bad now, and have that (essentially) be the spin-off from Saul instead of vice-versa. That then got me thinking about if there’s ever been a property that’s taken place within the same universe that waited almost a season and a half to introduce the character (or thing) that connected the two things? There’s probably some kind of sci-fi or fantasy story that nerds would be eager to inform me of and it’s called 2une or something like that. Cool if so! If not, then no one steal my idea, this could be huge.

Joe Pera Talks With You, “Joe Pera Lights Up The Night with You”, “Joe Pera Talks to You About the Rat Wars of Alberta, Canada (1950–Present Day)”, “Joe Pera Answers Your Questions About Cold Weather” [Season 1 finale]

“Can you believe those jag-offs through a New Year’s Eve party with just one bottle of Disarooney” is something I just say out loud when I’m frustrated now. I stayed up until like 3AM last Tuesday wrapping up the first season.

The Stranger, Welles 1946 [as of now this is available on Netflix]

First Orson Welles movie. It was fine! I don’t really think it should’ve been an hour-and-a-half long, but I was also surprised that they were already making movies about Nazis escaping to the US in 1946, but I’m definitely not a historian and I’m sure a lot of things would surprise me about 1946. It’s also a public domain movie which is just kinda....weird and would probably piss off Orson Welles or maybe he’d be thrilled.

Ferris Bueller’s Day Off, Hughes 1986 [as of now this is available on Netflix]

Maybe the best use of a Beatles song in a movie that doesn’t star The Beatles? I used to go back and forth on whether or not I like this movie, because so many people do like it and I used to be loathe to conform to non-controversial opinions. But something I think that gets really overlooked is how well this movie is shot-Hughes had a real eye for framing and blocking. Or maybe people talk about this all the time and I just haven’t cared to ever listen or seek it out.

The Plot Against America, “Part 2″

Mad Men,  [Season 2 premier] “For Those Who Think Young”, “Flight 1″

I had forgotten how GD disorienting this show can be when it goes out of its way to not tell you how much time has passed between each season (it’s like 15 months this time). That’s all I’ve got now, that and Duck Phillips: welcome back into my life, you sick son of a bitch.

Joe Pera Talks With You, [Season 2 premier] “Joe Pera Talks With You About Beans”, “Joe Pera Takes You On A Hike”

Thursday, April 23

Harold And Maude, Ashby 1971 [as of now this is available on Prime]

Another entry in the “I didn’t realize how many movies try to be this one” book. Really funny, and so shockingly dark, I can’t imagine how much people hated this when it first came out and how hard of a sell it would be to try and talk someone into seeing it. Probably what I liked most about it was how earned the sense of finding joy in life is in this movie, considering how cynical it is in depicting the fetishization guys tend to do with the notion of suicide. It’s quirky without being twee (if you want that, I guess go to Rushmore, a movie I adore, but definitely borrows heavily from this, something Anderson wouldn’t ever deny).

Mad Men, “The Benefactor”, “Three Sundays”

Harry Crane’s campaign to be the least liked person in Mad Men, you could argue, starts more-so here than it did in the finale of S1 when he cheats on his wife.

The Plot Against America, “Part 3″

I don’t think anything, Television-wise, has benefited less from the pandemic than TPAA. Of course it would happen to a David Simon show and maybe it’s a good thing, considering how the number of bad takes would greatly outweigh the number of good takes that would come about if there was some more attention on it. 

Joe Pera Talks With You, “Joe Pera Waits With You”, “Joe Pera Guides You Through The Dark”

I can’t remember the last time I laughed as hard as I did when they started demonstrating the different hair styles you can get when getting your hair cut. These episodes have somehow gotten goofier than the first season and it’s, uh, really good.

Friday, April 24

Parks And Recreation, “The Camel”

Top Chef, Season 17 episode 6

Brooklyn Nine-Nine, “Lights Out”

Dan Goor & Luke Del Tredici is to Brooklyn Nine-Nine as Michael Schur & Aisha Muharrar was to Parks And Recreation.

The Beastie Boys Story, Jonze 2020 [available on AppleTV+]

As with any kind of retrospective, there’s a fair amount of yadda-yadda-ing and maybe not everything totally works with this live-documentary, but it’s so deeply Beastie Boys that I can’t help but just be so grateful that it exists. While it’s like a vaudeville symposium it is absolutely doubles as a love letter to a departed friend and immense talent. The worst thing that could happen is that it’ll just make you want to re-listen to the gods.

Mad Men, “The New Girl”, “Maidenform”

I just can’t believe that Chauncey exits the series the same episode that he enters.This was and still remains the turning point of Duck Phillips: terrible human (and kind of when he turns a little cartoonish).

Saturday, April 25

Parks And Recreation, “Hunting Trip”

Mad Men, “The Gold Violin”, “A Night To Remember”, “Six Month Leave”, “The Inheritance”, “The Jet Set”

Quite a run of episodes here for ole Mad Men here. Always love when they remind us that everyone really underestimates Ken Cosgrove (even himself). And as I was watching “Six Month Leave” it kind of hit me that this is an outlier episode of Mad Men. It’s so much of a whole that I find it hard to put one episode above another, but if I needed just an episode of Mad Men to watch at random like a year or so from now, this is one that would really stick out to me. A great farewell to a great Murray brother.

Bad Education, Finley 2019 [available on HBO Now/Go]

It sucks that HBO makes more bad movies than it does good, but when they’re good, man they’re really good. It hits some HBO movie bingo squares which are kind of eye-rolley to me, but all-in-all, this is a really outstanding little movie. It feels weird that it’s taken this long for Ray Romano to start carving out a character actor niche for himself, but I’m just happy we’re finally here! I saw someone compare it to or with Wolf Of Wall Street and as someone not from Long Island I feel confident in saying that they’re a helluva Long Island scum-bag (repetitive?) double feature.

The Plot Against America, “Part 4″

Was really hoping this was going to be the thing that made people remember that Winona is incredible and not Stranger Things, but that’d require like a dozen monkey’s paw wishes that I just don’t have. (What a world it’d be if The Plot Against America adaptation somehow eclipsed Stranger Things in terms of cultural significance) However badly I wanted that though, this has really been Zoe Kazan’s show-a quieter role than Anthony Boyle (who I am also just floored by) but more effective in how much internal processing she’s doing with this character.

Joe Pera Talks With You, “Joe Pera Takes You To The Grocery Store”, “Joe Pera Goes To Dave Wojcek’s Bachelor Party With You”
