A Haunting in Venice + rain

"The rain obviously was very atmospheric and for my taste I would have had thunderclaps all over the place! But Ken [Branagh] was keen not to overdo those tropes. And hopefully we found the sweet spot of having some fun but without overdoing it. But again, it all leads into this: the house has been there longer than the humans that are currently inhabiting it. The weather itself is subsuming the house and the house is sinking. It's rotting, it's leaking, it's groaning. The electrics are dodgy. You have the feeling that anything you touch might be the last thing you ever do. Just to give it that jagged, dangerous feeling of hum, of atmosphere, of the danger that they're cut off from the outside world and reason." - Lucy Donaldson, the editor of A Hauting in Venice (Art of the Cut interview, September 21 2023)

Did... did Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds really think a film about a florist called Lily Blossom Bloom would be her Oscar(??) ticket??? Did they learn nothing from Jenna Maroney's Constance Justice on the Rural Juror smh?

Mean Girls 2024 Doesn't Understand Janis

Me watching Janis in Mean Girls 2024:

The original Mean Girls was based on a nonfiction called "Queen Bees and Wannabes". It's a self-help book for parents to help them connect with their daughters. It describes the powers of the cliques and the different roles in them.

It's pretty clear cut that Regina George is based on the "Queen Bee" role. This role is characterized by:

"Her friends do what she wants to do".

"She isn't intiminated by any other girl in her class".

"She can argue anyone down, including friends, peers, teachers and parents".

"She can make another girl feel "anointed" by declaring her a special friend".

"She won't [...] take responsibility when she hurts someone's feelings".

"If she's been wronged, she feels she has the right to seek revenge".

If you look carefully, you'll see that some of these features are noticeable in Janis as well. "Her friends do what she wants to do": She subtley pressures Cady to skip class.

"She won't [...] take responsibility when she hurts someone's feelings": She refused to properly apologize when everyone else did.

"If she's been wronged, she feels she has the right to seek revenge": I don't need to explain that one.

This is because Janis is also a Queen Bee, for a different clique. The movie makes a point to show us that there isn't just one clique, the plastics were just more prominent when Janis explained the seating order in the cafeteria.

Everyone is a part of girl world. Everybody are a part of cliques. Everyone perpetuates the different roles in them. And Janis too, is a Queen Bee. She too, is a mean girl.

Now – remember the scene I put where Janis and Cady skip class? It was cut from the new one. To me, this was a red flag. This scene was crucial in subtley establishing everything I just described. For the entire musical, I thought they were gonna water down Janis, but they couldn't have, there's a scene where she expicitly states that she's a mean girl:

So I remained fairly calm. Until I got to the scene. Instead of Janis calling herself mean, she sang a small musical number about how shitty Cady is.

...

But I still had some hope! There's still the scene where she does the "non apology" to Regina. Right? Right...?

The movie's still in theaters, so I couldn't find the actual clip, but here's what she sang instead:

So. Um. What was I gonna do? Oh yeah!

Mean Girls the Musical tries to pretend Janis is just a pure innocent victim. Not only is that not who she is, but it goes completely against everything the original tried to say. There isn't just one Big Bad in social circles, and there isn't black and white morality in girl world. Janis deserved better.
