Allison Joseph A Constellation of Kisses “The Numerology of Kisses”

[fluttering-slips]

Traveling Alone        for JT I always miss you most when coming back to you from some faraway coast, some unfamiliar view.

The closer I arrive, the further that I feel. Airports are netherworlds where nothing is revealed.

I want to glimpse your face before I know I can, impatient for the place where I'll see you again—

no crowded airplane aisles, no evening flight delays. I want to shrink the miles until they fall away—

no suitcases to claim, no rush hour to fight. I'd like to blink my eyes, come home without a flight.

At home at last with you and weary from my life, I'm private once again, unfettered as your wife. Allison Joseph

[ineedtoreadmorepoetry]

Sweep the walk and cook the dinner, have his babies but stay thinner.

Raise his children, feed them knowledge, clean the house with spit and polish.

Wipe their noses, scrub their fingers, do their laundry, tweeze their splinters,

buy the groceries, sew on patches, while your hair falls out in thatches.

Chop the veggies, fry the bacon, tell your girlfriends they're mistaken

when they see your husband straying, though his hair is dull and graying.

Wash the windows, weed the garden, feel yourself begin to harden

as your husband packs his suitcase, shines his shoes then ties each shoelace...

--from "Parable" by Allison Joseph

Friendly reminder that when Andrew got fucking assaulted, he didn't care what was done to him but instead his first thought was to pull Aaron in closer and make sure he wasn't harmed in any form or another and I just—

— ❥ DISLIKES: Fake people, people being rude for no reason, people saying she’ll only be pretty “if she stops wearing so much black,” being scolded for things she feels justified in, her makeup or hair getting messed up, people who use religion as an excuse to be assholes, coffee, pigeons.

— ❥ Ally has been in love with romance novels ever since she was eleven and read an old copy of The Princess Bride that she borrowed from her sister. She’s never been exactly good at sharing her love of them with people, but actually falling in love herself has been enough to open her up about it a little bit more.

— ❥ Despite the stereotype of tattoo artists being covered in ink, Ally only has two tattoos of her own: a pair of deer antlers with flowers curling around them on her ribs, and some small bats flying through a starry sky on her left shoulder. She wants some more in the future, but she also wants any future tattoos to be based on designs she’s drawn herself, and she has yet to pick any that she really wants on her body.

— ❥ In addition to her reading of romance novels, Ally is a huge Neil Gaiman fan, and has read almost all of his books and watched all the movie and TV adaptations of his works. Some of her favorites include the Sandman graphic novels and show, Good Omens, Coraline, and The Graveyard Book.

— ❥ Even though everyone who looks at her generally expects her to love black coffee, Ally actually doesn’t like coffee at all - she’s a big tea drinker, especially a nice cup of Oolong first thing in the morning.

M3GAN - Review

DISTRIBUTOR: Universal Pictures

SYNOPSIS:  Gemma is a roboticist at a toy company where she is working on her pet project, using artificial intelligence to develop M3GAN (short for Model 3 Generative Android), a lifelike doll programmed to be a child's companion and a parent's greatest ally. When her sister and brother-in-law die in a tragic car accident she is given custody of her niece Cady. When her niece responds to her college robotic project, Gemma resurrects her M3GAN prototype as an answer to her lacking parenting skills. As MEGAN begins to process data from the web, her interactions with Cady and the world, her programming modifies her self-awareness and she becomes overprotective of Cady. Her interaction with people has horrific consequences as she harms and ultimately kills anyone that gets in her way of "protecting" Cady and Gemma.

REVIEW: I went in to M3GAN with few expectations and left the theater exhilarated having been on an excellent thrill ride. From the trailers, clearly the tale encompasses themes from literary traditions such as “Frankenstein” and all the cautionary cinematic sci-fi tales from “2001: A Space Odyssey,” “Deadly Friend,” “Blade Runner,”and “I, Robot,” to name a few.

I love Akela Cooper’s screenplay. I was not a fan of her screenplay for the horror film “Malignant,” but her work here is impressive. At its core, M3GAN’s mother daughter themes feel like a contemporary reimagining of Mary Shelley’s father and son themes of “Frankenstein.” Woven into those universal themes are contemporary issues of parenting, such as children, technology, and present-day concepts on parenting. The debate about what is too much screen time for children evolves into what is too much time with M3gan. What I found extremely interesting is how Gemma’s use of M3gan is a double edge sword. She sees it as a fix for her inability to connect with or be a parent to Cady and as a unique situation to test her creation. Gemma doesn’t even consider the consequences and shortcomings of her coding, an excellent commentary on how modern programmers have only recently become aware of biases that exist in their coding. I loved Cooper’s dialogue. Instead of worrying about catch phrases, M3gan delivers cutting, satirical lines that feel like indictments of society's lack of concern about the downfalls of technology. I adore how Cooper doesn’t look to fully reveal her hand as to what exactly causes M3gan to go rogue. She indicates that there are shortcomings with the doll’s programming, but she presents a series of other events that might have exacerbated those flaws. Some of the secondary characters did feel a bit like caricature villains, but their arcs and dialogue kept them fresh and engaging. There is an element introduced early on in the story that you can’t help feel that it will play a part in the film’s climax. It could be that it might have been telegraphed or that I’m just a seasoned genre consumer.

This is a great ensemble cast. Allison Williams delvers a captivating performance as Gemma, allowing the viewer to sympathize for her situation and believe the circumstances that lead to her hubris to bring M3gan online. Violet McGraw’s Cady is a solid heartfelt performance. You feel the complexity of this character who is dealing with this kaleidoscope of emotions brought on by her parents’ death. She is charming and charismatic, and great in her action scenes. The character of M3gan is a complex construct of Amie Donald’s performance, Jenna Davis’ vocals, the special effects of Morot FX Studio and visual effects of Wētā FX. It’s a great, creepy character that has a great character arc and some well written dialogue. I’m a fan of Ronny Chieng, so maybe I’m a bit jaded. His performance here simply felt like an extension of his performance from his comedy specials or “The Daily Show.” It wasn’t bad, just nothing new.

I could expound on the special and visual effects, but the proof is in the viewing. M3gan is wonderfully rendered that captures the essence of what Cady connects with and still has that subtle creepiness lingering just below the surface. Clearly they did their homework as M3gan is a composite of trends in both the toy industry and state of the art technology. The film is well worth viewing based on just the work here alone.

M3GAN has few flaws in its logic and I didn’t find them distracting considering the rest of the excellent writing. Likewise, I could make comparisons to other horror or sci-fi doll and toy films, but this feels fresh and unique. Plus, many of the evil doll films deal with possession and not bad tech. As a big sci-fi fan there were moments that I should have seen coming but did not. In fact, I was impressed that they thought of it as I was being dazzled by M3gan’s effects, and enchanted by the performances. It’s a kick-ass thrill ride with loads of laughs and shocking moments, and I appreciated that it doesn’t go for gratuitous jump scares. This is one of those films you need to savor in a theater with an audience. Still, if for whatever reason you can’t make it to your local cinema, don’t miss M3GAN when it drops on Peacock.

They have announced there will be a sequel and I have trepidations about that. This is such a near perfect film it’s going to be hard to recreate this experience.
