Matilda (2022)

BMC CONFESSION TIME

The first time I listened to The Squip Song, I was instantly reminded of The School Song (because of the name) and The Chokey Chant from Matilda. And so I imagined it (especially in the "it's from Japan section") as like this big ol' creepy group number in a school hallway with all the lights dimmed and green smoke (yes specifically green smoke) billowing around and the ensemble closing in on Jeremy

And I thought Michael was singing it too, which gives the entire song a WHOLE new context just think about those implications

and now I wanna make an animatic of that the way I first envisioned it bc it's fucking sick

DOUKIMANIA~!

OK, I've been waiting since Wednesday to talk about Jack Perry vs. DOUKI on Rampage.

I don't think most of the fans in the building knew who Douki was. Or if they did know him, they were confused why he was brought in. In general the crowd was very into the big names from New Japan, and they knew enough about the United Empire to root for the faction rather than just mark out for Ospreay. But their main taweaway about Douki was "he looks like a Mortal Kombat guy" and "his name sounds like "dookie" (actually it rhymes with "chokey").

In the early going a few smartass "Let's go Dookie" chants started up, along the lines of "let's go jobber." I don't think many people expected the match to be anything more than a quick squash. But after Douki made a couple of comebacks people were surprised that Jungle Boy couldn't put him away. And when he did some cool flips and such, the crowd started getting behind him. When Jack made a comeback, he got booed hard, and at one point he made a face like "really?"

Around the point Douki did that big highspot into the table, the fans realized this guy was for real and were unironically behind him. They chanted "holy Dookie" instead of "holy shit." After Jack finally won there were "thank you Dookie" chants, as if he was a top star who just passed the torch in honorable defeat. When SANADA came out to do a staredown with Perry, I don't think a lot of people made the connection that he and Douki are in the same faction. So when Sanada stopped on his way out of the ring to pat Douki on the back, it got a reaction as if the IWGP world champion was acknowledging that this weird random jobber had unexpectedly impressed Chicago.

I don't know, I might be reading too much into it. But one thing's for sure, Chicago loves DOUKI, and Tony Khan needs to bring him back soon.

Red beret girl is Hortensia. She's not named in actual movie, but that supposed to be her :p

She's... Not really important to the plot. She's sort of was added in movie to represent school kids as a whole (Her lines in original musical were given to random unnamed kids :p)

She participates in three chore songs: School song, Chokey Chant and Revolting Children. And, to be fair, steals scene in all of them 😁

(Also, her arm injury is never addressed, but implication, that it was Trunchbull's doing is there)

Ah

I was wondering because it seems weird that she's allowed to have pins on her uniform without being some kind of important in the school hierarchy. (I honestly thought she was gonna be some Carmalita Spats situation ngl)

I mean.. I guess generally representing the student body is important but yknow what I mean.

Must just be to make her stand out.

DOUKI CHOKEY CHANT

[transformers-coded-music]

The DJD with the CHOKEY CHANT as their introduction theme, as sung by other Decepticons who fear them:

"There's a group who will hunt every 'Con that defects

And it looks like YOU'LL BE NEXT!

Your names will be added on their list

So, even if you could

Run away, hide your face,

It's no use, no good

Once they find you and you are tortured so,

You cannot see squat, not the end of your nose!

And when you scream, you don't know if the sound came out,

Or if the scream in your head

EVEN REACHED YOUR MOUTH."

Being enrolled in this hell as long as Tim has been, he really shouldn't have gotten his hopes up when he heard that the principal, Ms. East, (notice the lack of an 'r' in her title) had gotten into a crash during the summer. She'd broken a couple of bones, but overall she was fine.

Tim is enrolled in Githam Academy; a very crappy imitation of the wildly more popular Gotham Prep (Funded, advertised, and attended by the Wayne Family). The two schools are across the city from each other, and most parents want to send their kids to Gotham Prep because of its excellent reputation. Githam, on the other hand, is known for its strict staff.

Due to this reputation, the only kids sent here are future criminals. They send them to school and hope they get humbled enough to not start any riots at the nearest donut shop. Or- you know- steal things. Whatever is worse. (It's totally the burnt donuts).

He just has to worry about: 1) Being Red Robin 2) Making sure nobody knows about this schools idea of a punishment (Nobody meaning Dick or Jason) 3) Be good (his parents will come home sooner if he does) 4) "Avoid killing thy self"

Best musical song is chokey chant

S1E9: The Box/The Trial

Today I learned that I, growing up on the west coast of the United States, missed the official debut of Recess on the evening of August 31, 1997 because the networks over there were still covering Princess Diana’s death (which happened earlier in the day). The official premiere was pushed back to September 13 because her funeral took place on the original date, September 6.

I don’t know why that’s so fascinating to me. Maybe because it’s a damn thing that the first major news event I remember (not counting Hale-Bopp, but that was less news and more a comet that I was fascinated by?) and such an important TV show that I’m now dedicating a not-insignificant portion of my life to, 23 years later, intersected in this way.

Oh, well. Let’s watch more Recess.

The Box

How do you get all the ice cream you can eat? Apparently, it’s as easy as unplugging the big freezer in the cafeteria, which is what TJ and the gang have just done as the episode opens.

Our friend Hank the janitor informs the whole playground that the freezer is on the fritz and that all the ice cream — including Principal Prickly’s private stash, which I really would have liked to hear more about — is melting! So our friends step in and offer to eat the ice cream, because they’re good people.

Unfortunately for TJ, Miss Finster has discovered his frozen shoe at the scene of the crime, and so she send him to the wall (you know, the punishment where you put your nose on the wall and can’t move for however long. Fortunately for TJ, his friends come hang out with him at the wall. Miss Finster is incensed by this — he’s being punished, but having fun with it — and vows to come up with a better way to punish kids so they really feel it.

The next day, she unveils...The Box.

The playground falls in line, military-style, as Miss Finster explains that they’re just not taking getting into trouble seriously. But when she unveils her next great punishment tool, well...let’s just say it’s no Chokey. Everyone laughs — “It’s just a bunch of lines painted on the ground!” Vince exclaims — but Miss Finster is undeterred, convinced this new punishment will make her “more famous than Mildred Frizbone” — the teacher who invented detention in 1952.

(Other things invented in 1952: car airbag, polio vaccine, roll-on deodorant, pocket-size transistor radio. Ms. Frizbone was in good company!)

Naturally, TJ is the first to get in trouble, and naturally, he milks the attention for all it’s worth. Ten minutes in the box is nothing compared to his peers cheering him on! But Miss Finster then reveals that any kid who gets within 30 yards of the box will get detention for a week (perhaps an early sign that if you can’t beat Ms. Frizbone, join her).

We quickly learn that four lines painted on the ground is the elementary school equivalent of solitary confinement, though — that is, extremely bad (relative to, you know, kids’ attention spans). As TJ realizes he can’t play catch because his ball rolled out of the box, he can’t watch clouds because there aren’t any, and he's too impatient to nap — something he says he hasn’t done in a long time, but um, it’s been literally one episode — he starts to crack.

TJ hallucinates the box sinking into the ground, and all his helpless friends see from a great distance is him clawing at the walls surrounding him like a mime. When Miss Finster arrives to collect TJ after the worst 10 minutes of his life, he’s ready to do anything to never have to go back in the box again.

As the extent of TJ’s apparent PTSD sets in — he can’t eat square foods, like the ravioli and sandwich that Gretchen and Mikey offer him at lunch the next day — the gang realize they have to do something. Gretchen, of course, has an academic answer, while I’ll quote in full:

“According to Dr. Freud here, trying to take a person’s mind off his fears is just playing into them. The only cure is to make the person confront those fears. In other words, TJ must go back in the box.”

Now, as someone who somehow has a psychology degree, I’m wondering if she means Sigmund Freud, who was notably known for a lot of things, exposure therapy not being one of them. Maybe not. Maybe it’s a different Freud. In any case, this course of action seems like a good thing to try, except it also means the gang has to ensure TJ goes back in the box by framing him for a crime (in this case, spitballing Miss Finster in the back).

Back in the box, TJ immediately hallucinates again...until he’s hit in the head with a dodgeball, snapping him back to reality. He’s too shocked to throw it back to the kid who lost it, so the kid just comes into the box to get it, and TJ realizes if people can come into the box, he can get out of it! Wow!

When Miss Finster (and that snitch Randall, who gets his own episode coming up!) arrives to collect TJ from the box, she’s expecting a puddle of goo where TJ’s body used to be, more or less. But...TJ is fine. “I’d have to be nuts to be afraid of that!” he says, as Miss Finster sobs over her (apparently) failed creation (sample size of two?).

Takeaway: TJ can be vulnerable! Which...again, is something we learned ONE EPISODE AGO when he was taken prisoner by the kindergarteners and regressed to being a kindergartener. Which is way more of a Freud thing than exposure therapy is, by the way!!!!

The Trial

THIRD STREET SCHOOL, Ark. — The charge of throwing a rock in a dirt clod war against fourth-grader Ashley Spinelli was thrown out, though the trial took a surprising twist at its end.

Spinelli had been charged with violating the playground constitution by throwing a rock at playground snitch Randall Weems. The prosecution argued that Spinelli’s action was worse than cutting in line, throwing slush balls or spitting loogies in the drinking fountain, per the constitution.

“What kind of rotten, evil kid would throw a rock in a dirt clod war?” an anonymous digger told Recess News.

Though Weems’ reputation as a snitch preceded him, with many on the playground reluctant not to indict Spinelli but to give Weems any benefit of the doubt, the consensus was that the constitution was clear.

The punishment for violating the playground constitution in such an egregious manner, according to the document, is a swirly. According to Urban Dictionary, a swirly is “a prank often pulled in high school, in which a group of kids hold one kid upside down over a toilet then dunk their head in and flush it, resulting in a ‘swirl’ style hairdo.”

A high school-level punishment befitted the crime, King Bob said in a statement, but a trial would be required to prove Spinelli’s guilt.

The case’s first twist came when Gretchen Grundler, a close friend of Spinelli’s, was named prosecutor by virtue of being the smartest kid on the playground — another rule from the constitution.

Then, Recess News learned Spinelli herself would not be taking the stand, citing self-incrimination. Spinelli’s defense team told Recess News they were not in agreement with their client on this strategy.

The first surprise testimony came not from Weems’ own depiction of the incident, but from Mikey Blumberg, another close friend of the defendant. Blumberg told the court that he had witnessed Spinelli threatening Weems before the alleged rock throwing took place, but had not seen the incident in question.

“When will you people learn war is not a game?” Blumberg cried in the day’s most impassioned speech. “It’s not a game!”

But the second surprise testimony came as Spinelli herself opted to take the stand. She told Recess News later that she credited her friend Vince LaSalle with the decision.

“He goes, ‘This isn’t just about you anymore, it’s about all of us,’” Spinelli said. “That was all I needed to hear.”

Spinelli had left the scene to rescue a cat, she testified, and that cat turned out to belong to playground overseer Miss Finster, the teacher to snitch Weems’ teacher’s pet. Weems was so jealous of the attention Spinelli received that he threw the rock at himself and blamed it on her, he revealed.

Grundler immediately withdrew the charges upon this revelation, leaving the playground in a state of disarray.

This is a developing story. Recess News will update this page as news of Weems’ impending swirly is confirmed.

Takeaway: I don’t use the word “badass” very often — it’s pretty overused, IMO — but my goodness, was Gretchen telling Spinelli “I’ll see you in court” badass.

The Card Counter

Here are the rules for The Card Counter drinking game: when you see a character take a drink in the film, you have to match them. Tom Collins with Tanqueray. Double Jack Daniels. Double Johnnie Walker. Manhattan. Soda water. Beer. First you get that buzz which turns to mild euphoria, then the nasties kick in and the sickness starts to rise.

It emulates the experience of watching Paul Schrader’s rollocking new spin on his God’s Lonely Man project, this time focusing on Bill Tillich (aka William Tell), played by Oscar Isaac (easily his best performance since Inside Llewyn Davis), a man with a past who just likes to wrap his table lamps in bed sheets and play a bit of poker.

With his slicked back hair, omnipresent donkey jacket, khaki-green slacks and oversized Ray-Bans, he’s a Melvillian ex-con who ended up enjoying his time in chokey where he caught up on his Marcus Aurelius and taught himself to count cards. He now seems to want to emulate the claustrophobic experience of incarceration on the outside: turning every day into a droningly monotonous trip from one tinpot casino to the next where he keeps his head down, bets small, wins small and is able to keep himself to himself.

Visually, Schrader shoots for extreme asceticism, with casino floors made to resemble the gun-metal austerity of a prison rec room. And that’s just how William likes it – no muss, no fuss, in, out and on to the next one. That is until he wanders into a security conference and sits in on a presentation delivered by retired Major John Gordo (Willem Dafoe), an old acquaintance from his past. Tye Sheridan’s schlubby twentysomething Cirk with a “C” (aka The Kid) recognises William and passes him his deets. Turns out he’s got crosshairs trained on Gordo and needs some extra capital to achieve a fantasy kill.

As with most of Schrader’s work – but specifically his excellent 2017 film First Reformed – the French formalist filmmaker Robert Bresson is a key influence, mainly in the puritanical rigour of the storytelling and the performances, but also in how it grapples with the mystifying and contradictory aspects of morality.

It’s a supremely compelling tale leavened by its wry humour and a subtle commentary on the essential emptiness of American life. Indeed, the only truly successful characters in the film are one of William’s regular poker opponents, a Ukrainian man styled as Mr USA who, along with a pair of lackeys, chants, “U-S-A! U-S-A!” everywhere he’s seen. Tiffany Haddish turns in a fine performance as a svelte circuit regular, and draws out an unlikely strain of poignancy from the otherwise samurai- focused Bill.

A crackerjack finale leads to the film’s bittersweet final shot, which references Michelangelo’s Sistine Chapel fresco ‘The Creation of Adam’ and encapsulates so much about Schrader’s cinema, in everything from way back to the days of Taxi Driver. It’s that idea of transcendence and purity remaining just out of reach. The fingers almost connect, but they never do.

ANTICIPATION. Paul Schrader’s follow-up to one of his best films in years, First Reformed. 4

ENJOYMENT. Lots of great stuff here, but this is first and foremost the Oscar Isaac show. 4

IN RETROSPECT. The most “you do you” film this spiritually cynical writer/director could make. 4

Directed by Paul Schrader

Starring Oscar Isaac, Tiffany Haddish, Tye Sheridan
