Spy (2015) 8/10

The CIA's top analyst (Melissa McCarthy) gets a crack at a case when her partner (Jude Law) dies in the field. It's up to her to find a stolen nuclear bomb that is at risk of being sold into the wrong hands.

Melissa McCarthy shines as Susan Cooper. She's smart, she's witty, and she has determination to make things right. She's also 40, and joined the CIA after quitting her teaching job. But despite the odds, she fights hard for what's right.

The movie stars an ensemble cast, including Miranda Hart, who plays Susan's best friend and colleague, Nancy B. Artingsall, Rose Byrne as Rayna Boyanov, the daughter of Tihomir Boyanov (the only other person who knows where the bomb is hidden), Jude Law as debonair agent Bradley Fine, and Jason Statham as Rick Ford, a super macho agent who clashes with Susan.

The plot is easy to follow, and the movie takes place in Rome, Paris, and Budapest, following Susan Cooper's mission. The jokes are witty, mostly delivered by McCarthy and Statham. (Statham's character has two particular monologues about what he's done on missions, and it's hilarious).

There's not really any dull moments in this movie, because you're engaged in the fact that Susan has to track down Rayna to get to the bomb. And she struggles a few times, but she manages. And Rose Byrne is hilarious as Rayna, playing a stuck up, but ruthless person. She is dedicated to what her father left her.

There's hand to hand fight scenes, a car chase, and shootouts, so if you like any of those in an action movie, this has all three.

I did recently rewatch this movie after not seeing it for a few years, so it did feel long to me, but maybe that's because it's been a while. I'm sure if you see this movie over and over, it'll feel short.

But this is a good action comedy if you don't want to think too much!

i'm still going to see "argylle" but what i'm reading is that it basically tried to be 2015's "spy" (a movie i will stan until the end of time) and was suspected (though not proven) to be written by tswift

one critic called it smug and aggressive, others said it was soulless, cynical marketing. it was also clearly part of a planned trilogy

everyone go watch 2015's spy which despite being a comedy spoof with wigs and stunts, earned a 95% critical rating on rotten tomatoes

Freaks and Geeks (1999) Dir. Paul Feig

Jason Segel | Seth Rogen | Linda Cardellini | James Franco

[vital-information]

"But, for at least part of the 1999-2000 TV season, Freaks And Geeks was a beacon to anyone whose high school experience was awkward, boring, humbling, or painful—basically, anything other than the sexy and stylish depictions that had dominated teen-centered movies and shows. It begins with a feint in the pilot episode, one of best series introductions ever. Director Jake Kasdan scans the high school track, seeking out a very blond football player (Gabriel Carpenter, in a role not unlike his appearance in 1999’s Drive Me Crazy) who’s confessing his affection to a very blond cheerleader in the bleachers. This early encounter is the extent to which Freaks And Geeks would engage with the kind of prepossessing teens who were frequently the subjects of these shows. This decision, Feig tells The A.V. Club, was based on having “grown up on such a diet of teen stuff being about beautiful people who were so cool with everything, including sex. It didn’t reflect anything I grew up around. You would see those kids; they were around. But they weren’t my group. They weren’t the majority of the kids that I knew.”

The camera ventures under the bleachers, where Daniel Desario (James Franco) is holding court among the other “freaks,” before panning over to our protagonist, Lindsay Weir (Linda Cardellini), who’s lurking nearby, ever between groups. The camera keeps moving, settling on an altercation between the “geeks”—Lindsay’s brother, Sam (John Francis Daley), and his friends Bill Haverchuck (Martin Starr) and Neal Schweiber (Samm Levine)—and a bully named Alan (The Sandlot’s Chauncey Leopardi). Lindsay comes to their rescue, but inadvertently offends Sam by referencing his diminutive stature. Lindsay is insulted by Alan’s buddies for her trouble, and Sam stalks off. This opening scene is a prime example of the brand of subversion found in Feig’s good-hearted show. A lesser series would have dedicated at least five minutes to Lindsay making up her mind, either in approaching the freaks or standing up for her brother. In Feig’s pilot, Lindsay acts decisively and still gets it wrong, which is not how this is supposed to go—that is, not on network television, and certainly not on the powerhouse network that was NBC in the late ’90s.

That was far from the last time Freaks And Geeks would defy expectations. In the same episode, we learn Lindsay is in the midst of an existential crisis brought on by her grandmother’s death. Hearing from her grandmother, the kindest and best person Lindsay had ever known, that there was nothing waiting on the “other side” leaves her questioning everything. So the former mathlete goes looking for answers in unlikely places, including under the bleachers and on the “smoking patio” with the freaks. Lindsay bonds with the freaks, especially Kim Kelly (Busy Philipps), whose depths were just as filled with teen-girl fury as insecurity. She even manages to win over the caustic Ken Miller (Seth Rogen). But her behavior flummoxes her parents, Harold (Joe Flaherty) and Jean (Becky Ann Baker), and to a lesser extent, her brother. Lindsay’s quest, which unfolded over the course of the season, was probably just as baffling for NBC executives (and possibly viewers). She wasn’t mollified by a new relationship with sweet stoner Nick Andopolis (Jason Segel), nor did she quickly learn her lesson and return to her high-achieving best friend Millie’s (Sarah Hagan) side. The absence of easy answers became a defining element of Lindsay’s life, as well as of the show.

But Freaks And Geeks was always just as optimistic as it was realistic, which is a key part of its enduring appeal. It’s a show about survival, about how a found community can help you muddle through anything. Despite the labels, Feig’s characters are all basically good people—failing that, they’re people who are capable of doing better."

Danette Chavez, "Why Freaks and Geeks Is the Teen Show that Endures"

Ok, now that the first pjo season is finally over (😭) I want to share my pitch for the future adaptations from the Riordanverse, because since daydreaming is for free I will now pretend I work with Rick and Disney and tell you what I'd do if I were their Kevin Feige.

First of all, do we all agree that if Heroes of Olympus really gets adapted it should be a separate show, and not PJO 6th season, right?? I hope so because they're completely different stories. So, if we will already get 2 connected shows, why can't we get more?

And maybe it's because I'm a big marvel fan but I really believe in the power of crossovers. There's something magical about seeing characters originally from two different worlds/stories interacting with each other, and I'm not only referring to the MCU. I mean, remember the episode where Hannah Montana and the Wizards of Waverly Place all went aboard on Zack and Cody's cruise ship?? Or when all the Disney Princesses appeared together on Ralph Breaks the Internet???

So imagine having 2 original spin-offs released in the years between each season from PJO. That way we would get the chance to meet not only Camp Jupiter but also some of the characters who are originally from there before HOO.

My idea of a title for the first show is "The Children of Rome", and the story would be set right after the events from Sea of Monsters/PJO Season 2, where we would follow Reyna as one of the main characters and all the journey she went through after her encounter with Percy and Annabeth on Circe's Island.

From being kidnapped by pirates to being trained by the wolf Lupa (which I think it would be really nice to actually see, since we only got a brief explanation of how it works in the books) until she finally arrives at Camp Jupiter and is first welcomed by Jason. Here I think there's even a great opportunity for a parallel between him and Thalia, since season 2 will have ended with Thalia resurrection and her iconic line (that could be adapted so to fit her last name) "I am Thalia Grace daughter of Zeus", so Jason's first introduction could be with him saying "I am Jason Grace son of Jupiter" (I already have chills only from imagining the scenes).

This could be a 3 or 4 seasons show, where we would see Reyna and Jason ascending to Praetor and their battle with the titan Krios, and in the last season (after PJO’s last season) we would see Nico's, Hazel's and Frank's arrival, wrapping the series with Jason disappearing.

Now for my second spin-off idea, it would be set after Titan's Curse/Season 3 and we would follow The Hunters of Artemis, which is already a great title by itself, and I would be satisfied with only one season but I would definitely not mind if we got more!

It would be a simpler show, with basically badass (ace) girls adventures, to see what they've been up to during the events of book/season 4, while we also get to know more of Thalia, her past trauma and how she misses her brother since she doesn't know he's alive. The Demigod Files story, The Sword of Hades, where Percy, Nico and Thalia go to the underworld and meet Bob could even happen in this show through her pov, that way we would understand better why she got so shaken with their encounter with the goddess of ghosts and regrets.

All of that would be a nice contrast with Jason's journey, since he was too young when he got to the Camp and doesn't remember much from his past with the exception that he was abandoned, so he doesn't even imagine that there's someone who cares and misses him. All of this would culminate in HOO first season when they finally get reunited.

No, it’s not a coincidence that I’m focusing a lot on Jason, but ironically the reason for that is not because he’s my favorite character, actually between the seven demigods from the prophecy he’s one of my least favorite, and I hardly ever find people in the fandom who has him as their favorite, which I think is pretty sad (specially now that I finally finished reading The Trials of Apollo, because I honestly I want to scream everytime I think about how much he is underrated and poorly explored as a character).

What I believe to be the reason for all of this is that, even though they’re nothing alike, Jason is often compared to Percy due to both being the son of one of the most powerful gods in Olympus and pretty much the leaders of their respective Camps. But that’s still not a fair comparison, because it’s like “who do you prefer, the boy we’ve known for 5 books already in which we got to first know this amazing world through his eyes, thoughts and feelings… or this dude we just met and that people say to be as good as him?”

Not only that, but between all the new characters we get to know in HOO (if I remember correctly) Jason is the one with less flashbacks scenes, and I get that this happened because he lost his memory, but this makes that most of the information we have about Jason's past is told to us, and not showed.

So, deep down, we know why Jason's personality is so different from Percy's. We know he'd struggled since he was a little kid due to the pressure of being raised to be a leader in such a cold and harsh environment. We know that even though he was immensely admired in Camp Jupiter he was still deeply lonely and insecure, mainly because of the lack of a parental figure to give him unconditional love making him believe that he only had value if he was of use.

We know he is incredibly powerful and led the Camp through tones of victories. But we haven't seen any of this half as much as we've seen him getting hit on the head, so in the end that's how he's most remembered: a nice and serious guy that got hit a lot on the head.

A spin of series would give the fans a chance of really seeing all that and understanding Jason (and other characters like Reyna and Thalia) better. And, again, it might be simply because I'm a huge MCU fan, but I truly believe that if we got to meet the roman characters and camp before HOO the feeling of seeing those worlds collapsing together and interacting would be so powerful!!

In the books what happen is that we see characters that we don't know yet (therefore don't like yet) arriving at a place and meeting characters that we already love, and then in the second book is the opposite, we see a character that we already love arriving at a place and meeting characters that we don't know yet (again, therefore don't like yet). But if we got to meet everyone separately all we would feel right away is excitement!

I’m not in any way trying to demerit the books!! It’s just that now with the series we have the chance of doing something new, of really adapting this story to a new media format in the best way possible! And, since the spin-offs would be original stories, the writers and Rick not only would have the opportunity to create more freely but also to surprise the fans who had read the books already.

I’ve been sitting on this Idea since the Disney+ show was announced and I know the odds of it happening are pretty low, but I decided to share this idea with othe people who also loves these books so we can freak out together.

■ finished ■ Batman Beyond 2010 ■

Apparently gibt es nur sechs Ausgaben, daher ging das relativ schnell.

Abseits davon, das ich diesen Comic absolut hässlich finde, hab ich seeeehr viele Probleme mit dem.

Und wenn ich hässlich sage, meine ich hässlich:

Ich dachte früher immer, das es für Künstler ein Traum sein muss Batman zeichnen zu dürfen. Und das diese Künstler sich anstrengen sowie bei diesen Projekten ihre besten Arbeiten ever abliefern. But what do i know, amirite? Das Ding is hässlich.

Die Story spielt nach Timothy Drake going Joker. Terry ist übermüdet und keilt sich ständig mit Bruce, bis eines Tages die Bösewichte des original Batman sterben. Während den "Detektivarbeiten" Terrys erfährt er von einem neuen Hush.

Mein erster Gedanke war, cool Jason Todd is back und er nutzt Hush Identität um Bruce fertig zu machen. Ich wartete auf den Plottwist, doch er kam nicht. Dafür kam ein anderer Charakter hervor als Bad Guy und irgendwie hat mich das enttäuscht.

Eigentlich find ich den Gedanken cool das ER der Bösewicht ist, aber wie sie den Charakter geschrieben haben und das sie am Ende gesagt haben "haha er ist doch nicht was ihr denkt" ist so schlechtes Writting und ich schäme mich dafür.

Ich kann mir nicht vorstellen das JEMALS gedacht war, eine längere Serie aus Batman Beyond zu machen. Ich mein man rennt von einer Crimescene zur nächsten, wirft mit Namen um sich. Charaktere haben keine Zeit sich vorzustellen und sich zu entwickeln. Z.b. Die neue Catwoman. I don't care about her. Wenn die gestorben wär, wär's mir basically egal gewesen. Sie ist wie diese NPCs in Videospielen die 5 Minuten Screentime haben, sterben und die Entwickler hoffen es trifft einen emotional, but you just don't care.

Wenn man also weiß, dass der Comic nach nicht einmal 10 Issues endet, hätte man ruhig den ganzen Weg gehen können und einen echten Bösewicht schreiben können. Es ist einfach feige auf halben Weg zurückzugehen, nachdem man so einen Twist in die Geschichte packt.

Heck dann gebt mir Jason Todd ffs. Klischee in der Art Story, ich weiß. ABER: Er darf wenigstens Böse sein.
