#Betsy Patterson

[empirearchives]

Apparently there’s a biopic in the works about Napoleon’s American sister-in-law, Betsy Patterson Bonaparte.

She was the first wife of Jerome Bonaparte. I’m really curious about this. There’s definitely some drama in Betsy’s story during her time as Jerome’s wife. If they end up making this, I’m sure Napoleon will be in it! (Btw, Betsy and Jerome’s descendants end up becoming very important American figures. One of them was the creator of the FBI)

This is Betsy (left) and Jerome (right):

saw IV third rewatch thoughts

- this movie is entertaining but nowhere near good enough to deserve how well it’s edited. the practical scene transitions alone are award worthy and for THIS

- art blank looks like sad owen wilson

- literally criminal that the guy who played rigg was only billed FIFTH. lyriq bent you carried this film

- scalper chair girl is crazy hot

- i think i said this somewhere before but i appreciate that perez and strahm are less good cop/bad cop and more like vaguely empathetic cop/rabid hunting dog

- betsy russell is also so absolutely comically attractive she literally makes scott patterson (who is on the good side of average) look worse by comparison. the interrogation bits are crazy like get away from her you beast. also i think his eyelashes are longer than hers

- hoffman’s new york accent is CRAZY in this movie i don’t think he ever sounds quite this brooklyn again

- not to be like “jigsaw was right” in any capacity but the rapist guy in the motel room trap deserved it

- i wish jill tuck was my auntie

- can we talk about apprentice perez please mac i’ve been dying to talk about apprentice perez with you all day

- literal seven out of ten chance costas mandylor has lip fillers

- i loooove all the weird silly obvious anatomical/surgical aspects there are to some of the traps. sewing up those guys’ eyes and mouth, the spikes through the vital points with that married couple. they had dr. gordon’s ass working overtime with these

- donnie wahlberg does possibly the best job any member of the new kids on the block could have done playing a pathetic wet rat

- oh so they can have a scene with the billy puppet being small on a chair looking like he would perfectly fit in your lap but when i say “i think billy is lap-sized” everybody loses their minds. i don’t care if it’s forced perspective perez gets right up next to him and he’s literally the size of like a toddler

- speaking of perez there is no way her ass is dying from that puppet explosion. like i get that she didn’t ACTUALLY die but she was clearly in danger of it and they had strahm believing it even though there is no fucking wayyyy a couple pieces of shrapnel in her forehead could have killed her unless that weird dust was some kind of poison or something and not just plaster

- the version i watched unfortunately did cut the bit where strahm pulls a gun in the interrogation room and mimes shooting himself in the head with it

- i never caught that john got in his car accident on the WAY HOME from being diagnosed with cancer…. i kinda get it now

- the implication that john designed the glass coffin for jill makes me genuinely crazy

- i don’t even care about the reveal of hoffman as the accomplice the twist at the end where it’s revealed that it was all happening concurrently with saw III is the most insane part of this movie i remember the first time i saw it i literally stood up out of my seat going WHAT THE FUCKKKKK

- in conclusion

Saw V (2008)

This is a Movie Health Community evaluation. It is intended to inform people of potential health hazards in movies and does not reflect the quality of the film itself. The information presented here has not been reviewed by any medical professionals.

Saw V has two scenes with emergency vehicle lights, a few with flickering lights in darkness, one with lightning, and a few moments where the transitions between flashbacks and current happenings use a strobe effect that is more mild and less frequent than in the previous films. The Twisted Pictures production company logo at the beginning uses a severe but brief strobe effect with the sound of lightning.

There is some handheld camera work, and a few very quick camera tricks to make the viewer feel somewhat disoriented.

Flashing Lights: 8/10. Motion Sickness: 3/10.

TRIGGER WARNINGS: Jump scares, blood, gore, kidnapping, stalking, white supremacist imagery.

Trigger Warning: Gore Scoring below the spoiler! :)

ESE: 45/100

50 -5 for Hoffman’s lame pendulum trap +10 for Scott Patterson +10 for the quick-thinking panic tracheotomy +5 for Strahm surviving the drowny-box trap +10 for Julie Benz -10 for these five selfish pricks because the key-box/decapitation trap was so easily solved -10 because none of them think to share the very long safe corridor hole, and all four could have been safe +10 for Tobin Bell +5 for Hoffman having been involved since before Amanda +10 for more backstory -10 for feeling mostly like a filler film -10 for realizing way too late that they should have saved each other -5 for the “whoops” -5 for Strahm not getting in the glass box and thus causing his demise
