#Repost @BitsieTulloch Thank you @saturnawards for long-championing our show and honoring #SupermanAndLois again last night. I was glad I had the opportunity to say the following:

As we all know, for years, many productions have been leaving LA in search of better tax incentives. After these devastating wildfires, this city needs to bounce back, and fast. Many of us have signed the “Stay in LA” petition that has been circulating on social media. But that’s not enough. We need both our state government to offer a financial incentive to stay here, by increasing California’s film & tv tax incentives to 40% with no cap, and we also need studios and streamers, and many of you wonderful, powerful people in this room right now, to pledge even just 10% more production in LA for the next 3 years as part of the disaster relief effort. That could literally mean the difference between many of our beloved coworkers and crews being able to afford to remain in LA, while this city and this industry we are all so in love with and so lucky to be a part of, rebuilds, together. Thank you for your time.

Creep 2 (2017) I was sceptical at first but for me, Creep 2 tops the original. They took all the things that creeped us out from the first one and threw them out. They knew it would be cheap to reuse the same scares and same plot, so they adapted, just like “Aaron” has done. “Aaron” is tired of killing and wants his big send off, so naturally he hires a stranger from the internet to help him. You can never tell when Mark Duplass’ character is lying or being truthful and I love that about his character, he can’t be trusted and we know that, but we want to trust him. I don’t want to give anything away from this fantastic movie so give it a watch and let me know your thoughts, do you prefer this film or the original? • • • #movie #movies #film #films #review #filmcommunity #letterboxd #reviewer #letterboxdreview #horror #horrorfan #markduplass #creep #creep2 #stalkermovie #creepy #serialkiller #craigslist #foundfootage https://www.instagram.com/p/CgCS37vuw4t/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Review : Bombshell (2019)

During college, I studied Radio and TV news, and if there was one thing I learned, it was that nothing gets in front of the bottom line... ethics, morals and good judgement somehow seem to vanish in the realm of the newsroom.  This is why it did not surprise me when, in the world of the 24 hour news cycle, the news became the news when Fox CEO Roger Ailes found himself accused of several instances of sexual harassment.  Jay Roach and company decided that this topic was not only timely, but ripe for dark humor, hence the production and release of Bombshell. 

In the run-up to the Donald Trump presidency, three women working for Fox News find themselves in three very different positions in their career.  Megyn Kelly is an anchorwoman covering hard news while trying to avoid becoming the news after her hard line of questioning to Trump during the Presidential debate landed her in his Twitter crosshairs.  Gretchen Carlson (Nicole Kidman) is a former anchorwoman rapidly falling down the ladder, finding herself transitioned to an afternoon opinion show before being unceremoniously fired.  Kayla Pospisil (Margot Robbie) is a former intern for Carlson looking for an opportunity to become an anchorwoman, and making the moves towards her goal after transitioning to a job on the O’Reilly Factor.  All three women, however, share a common trait : their victim status via sexual objectification, coercion and blackmail from Fox News founder Roger Ailes (John Lithgow).  Carlson, who already had plans to sue Ailes directly rather than Fox News in regards to her assault, moves forward with her lawsuit after her firing, and the wheels begin to turn as the search for victims willing to speak out against Ailes gains traction.  

For a film covering the self-identified bastion of ‘fair and balanced’ news that is Fox, the film itself is unfortunately fairly unbalanced.  It is entertaining, which is a plus, but the lofty and heavy topic is slightly undercut by the comedic approach that director Jay Roach has made his trademark.  Heavy accusations and salacious behavior are propped up beside fourth wall breaks, shakeycam cinematography and visual parlour tricks.  The schizophrenic tone of the film is further bolstered by a list of identifications for real world titans of the news industry, giving the film a slightly mockumentary, heavily expose’ feel.  Even the disclaimer at the beginning of the film sets a serious tone, which is directly followed by a sitcom-esque expositional introduction by Charlize Theron’s Megyn Kelly portrayal, using the aforementioned fourth wall approach no less.

That being said, the style points taken away from the film have a minor effect on the tension caused by the topics at hand.  Ailes is not only positioned as an opportunistic man that objectified large numbers of women in the name of the ‘visual medium’, but also as a paranoia-fueled power monger quick to flex said power to show everyone who’s boss, even if the Murdoch family that resides higher than him in the hierarchy does not support him or his power-hungry actions.  His hopes of influencing the masses rather than informing them are also brought to light, with his history of placing Presidents in the White House prior to founding Fox News becoming an ironic parallel to his forcing out of the corporation due to his immoral actions while Trump and his immoral actions ascend to the White House.  The old school way of fighting litigations and accusations with spin and intimidation is used to fuel the narrative, adding to the present tension and propelling the story forward as accuser after accuser straddles the line of coming forward and damaging their lives and careers, or remaining silent, which gives the audience insight on the human cost of Ailes’s actions.

As mentioned before, the cinematography can be a bit distracting at times, with the camera constantly zooming in and out, light uses of soft rack focus, and visual tricks like fourth wall breaks and kyrons used for humor.  Roach does manage to keep the numerous storylines balanced and coherent, helping the viewer navigate the numerous characters and points of view presented.  The makeup and hairstyling of Charlize Theron and the weight gain of John Lithgow make both of them nearly unrecognizable, and nearly every actor and actress in the film looks so much like their real life counterparts that they are easily identifiable prior to being given naming subtitles.  The casting agent on this film deserves at least a bonus, if not an award, because this film contains one of the most stacked casts I’ve ever seen.

Fans of ensemble casts are in for a treat, as Theron, Kidman and Robbie all step confidently into their starring roles, more than succeeding in their portrayals of their famous counterparts.  Lithgow locks into his calm and calculated manner, while simultaneously giving his creepy undertones occasional moments in the spotlight, much to the chagrin of his victims.  Mark Duplass stands out in one of the few non-news based roles, bringing equal parts charm and hard truth to the table.  Kate McKinnon turns in a strong dramatic performance while still managing to let her trademark natural humor shine.  Allison Janney brings a hard nosed edge to bounce against Lithgow, making her quite believable as a no-nonsense lawyer with absolutely no levels of intimidation found in her dealings with the Ailes character.  Performances by Connie Britton, Rob Delany, Liv Hewson, Bridgette Lundy-Paine and a handful more help drive the narrative forward, while appearances by Malcom McDowell, Nazanin Boniadi, P.J. Byrne, Kevin Dorff, Alice Eve, Spencer Garrett, Ashley Greene, Marc Evan Jackson, Brian d’Arcy James, Richard Kind, Tony Plana, Stephen Root and many more as newspeople, lawyers and politicians keep things exciting for the viewer.

Possibly due to my own expectations combined with my former experience in the world of news, I think I was imagining something different than what I was presented.  While not necessarily a bad film, it does (in my opinion) fall short of what it really and truly could have been : a proper reflection on some of the successes that occurred during the uplifting-turned-controversial Me Too movement.  Ultimately, I recommend going to see the film and making up your own mind, but as the fourth film I’ve seen in a little over a week, it does fall short in comparison to it’s recently released peers.

THE GREATEST TV SERIES SINCE...SINCE... I just finished binge-watching Apple TV's THE MORNING SHOW's two 10-episode seasons (of an hour each), and I am convinced it's one of the GREATEST television series of ALL TIME!!! EVERYTHING about it was operating at 110% creative levels: the concept (I'm a sucker for behind-the-scenes stories of movies or TV), the incredible ensemble acting, the greatest since The Sopranos (Emmys went to supporting actor Billy Crudup, but should've also gone to stars Jennifer Aniston, Reese Witherspoon, and other supporting actors like Steve Carell & Mark Duplass), and the writing & direction (by multiple writers and directors, many of them women & people of color & ethnicity). As is typical, the critics have been lukewarm to this unbelievably great show, but it wouldn't be the first time they were WRONG. There were some episodes that left my jaw dropped in awe and amazement, episodes as great as any I've seen in the 21st Century by the usual suspects of the aforementioned Sopranos, Mad Men, and Breaking Bad (arguably the 3 most honored series of this millennium). All of the great themes of life & death, love, sex, relationships, fidelity & infidelity, friendship, honor, work, business and home life are explored with a depth and an honesty that was constantly refreshing. I certainly hope the series gets renewed for a 3rd season--but if not, I urge you ALL to drop any and all other streaming show commitments you might have and invest in THE MORNING SHOW. Then come back here and tell me if I overhyped it! :) #themorningshow #jenniferaniston #reesewitherspoon #appletv #arlenschumer #stevecarell #markduplass #tv #television #billycrudup @dgareps @dbbushman @adamschumer @richard_syrett https://www.instagram.com/p/CXMGbAkLIIs/?utm_medium=tumblr

31 for 31 2021 Day 12 Movie: Creep Most people likely know Mark Duplass from the Fox comedy The League. Duplass is a great comedic actor and writer who wasn’t very well known in the horror community. That is until he and costar Patrick Kack-Brice went to screen a dark comedy that they’d been working on for some of their friends. They quickly realized just hope creepy Creep actually was. It’s a perfect mix of horror and comedy, also some scenes of Duplass dancing in a wolf mask(Peachfuzz) definitely a movie worthy of a Fright Night Feature Presentation. But don’t take my word for it! ⁣ .⁣ .⁣ .⁣ .⁣ .⁣ #josefisacreep #youhaveareallykindface #markduplass #creep #peachfuzz #patrickkackbrice #axemurder #31for31 #daytonartist #daytonohioartist #ohioartist #sethmarchantartwork #digitalmanipulation #digitalart #creepyart #horrormovies #horrorfan #artistsoninstagram #horrordrawing #horrorfanatic #illustration #macabreart #darkart #horrorlife #creepy #drawing #horrorartwork #horror #horrorgeek #creepyartwork https://www.instagram.com/p/CU-iVKMLgUJ/?utm_medium=tumblr

Creep (2014) Creep is a movie I’ve put off watching for a long time but I’m glad to say I’ve finally watched it. Mark Duplass does a terrific job in his role and perfect as his character “Josef”. I never knew what to expect next or what would come out of his mouth, which left me on the edge of my seat the entire time. Duplass unnerves me so much anytime he starts rambling, and don’t get me started on tubby time. I would highly recommend this movie to anyone looking for a slower horror film that has that “found footage” aspect to it, which this films lends itself well to. • • • #creep #markduplass #peachfuzz #wolf #stalkermovie #movie #movies #moviereview #film #filmreview #review #reviews #creepmovie #patrickbrice #lowbudget #lowbudgetfilm #lowbudgetfilms #horror #slowhorror #horrormovie #horrorfilm #moviebuff #movielover #horrorfan #rating #ratingmovies #movierating https://www.instagram.com/p/Cf7tmOhsSxN/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
