[ Spoilers ]

Went and saw Materialist (2025);

[I didn't know when to switch over to the character names so I just didn't]

I liked it but some bits were spoiled + I went in w/ extremely low expectations just cause I don’t really like romance movies to begin with

That said, went w/ my mom who has never seen Dakota Johnson’s acting but knew of her parents. And that was what made her want to see it. Also put her off of any future movies that have Dakota Johnson in them

She was just flat emotionally. Like there was no variation in her tone. And when paired w/ Evans & Pascal, just really showed. Which I was there for those 2. It's odd b/c she did seem to mesh well w/ both of them in interviews. Same vibes as those Anyone But You photos of Glen Powell & Sydney Sweeney that came out while they were filming where everyone thought they had crazy chemistry

Feel she'd be better w/ characters who are purposefully supposed to be awkward or socially inept. Thinking the sort of characters Zoey Deutch has played. Not exactly, but that wavelength at least

Also they really made her character a femcel. Even dropped a involuntarily celibate line at the beginning. The conversation between her character & Pascal’s during their dates was just hilarious. Math is mathing

I had heard people saying it should’ve been a why choose but I thought from the moment they introduced Pascal’s character that he was endgame. Definitely went into it thinking it was gonna be another one where they set it up to be a love triangle but they already have an obvious choice in mind so it’s not actually a love triangle. Usually never is

Along w/ it having the structure of a hallmark movie which ngl, it did. But there are some genuinely good hallmark movies. All of them give me secondhand cringe w/ their setups but once they hit their stride, that’s when they get me. And the thing is, this movie had a interesting premise

They barely established Pascal’s character’s name. Thought they said it was Terry but nope, dude’s name was Harry

Sorry that both this post and The Accountant 2 post, it's quite obvious who I was simping over the whole movie (was also simping over Evans but his character was quite weak imo)

I am glad the SA bit was spoiled for me. I did think w/ how folks spoke about it, that it was going to be on screen and was going to happen to Johnson's character. But it was off-screen, but then became a side-plot. Basically while it doesn't trigger me, I just don't like seeing it in films. That and it did feel like it was only included to add some conflict and get Johnson's character to then fall into Evan's character's arms

Clarifying thing, but I am very in favor of trigger warnings, no matter the medium. B/c if you don't need them, you can skip over them. And for those who do, it can give them the choice of whether to consume said media & prepare for it, however they need. That and I do agree w/ the sentiment that if such a spoiler ruins the film then it's probably not written that well

That said, the outfit they had Johnson in when going to talk to the client who was SA'd (Sophie) was stupid. Gave Joe Goldberg vibes from You. Like you look suspicious. Also do y'all not vet your clients? Will admit that I didn't like the switch-up w/ the clients after Sophie was SA'd. One being a conservative, closeted lesbian. And another going 'I only want to date white people.' Like you haven't had to deal w/ such clients until that point?

With the scene where Evans and Johnson crash a random wedding via his catering company, just imagine being in the back row and hearing what Johnson says in that scene. Cause she's talking at a pretty loud volume and it's during moments where people wouldn't be talking

+ the Tiktok captions;

"I have $100 right here for whoever knocks that loud mouth son of a bitch out"; Jason didn’t think anyone was going to genuinely take him up on the offer

"I'll put so many bullets in your head..."; Ooh, sounds fun 🤩

"How'd she get away? I let her go"; Like dude just came back to life, give him a second

Breakeven - The Script; Brought to you by that one panel of Jason calling Roy; ‘hey, it’s me, Jaybird’

"You were always a violent creature..."; Jason coming back to life and seeing how angry Dick is

Your Love is My Drug - Kesha; The invite ends up being one of those ‘do you like me? check for yes / check for no’ type

[trashland-llamas]

why’d you have to chase the light somewhere I can’t go

Dick’s fists are balled up in the pockets of his suit jacket as he walks to the podium. Throat taught with grief. He knows Bruce isn’t going to like what he’s about to say but they’re his feelings. Seeing Bruce destroy another young kid’s life—it makes his blood boil.

“So I don’t know if you got the memo, Jason but you’re the baby of the group. You were supposed to outlive us—you were supposed to outlive me,” his voice cracks. The words raw, ripped right off the cuff. “But no, here you are, lying in a damn coffin. Dead.” Everyone in the funeral crowd is holding their breath. Unable to believe that this was what it took for Dick Grayson to crack. Waiting to see if Bruce or Alfred yanked him off the stand. But they didn’t. It’d be worse if they did.

Until Dick bows his head with a sob. “I’m not mad at you. I’m more mad that I won’t get to see the potential milestones. No getting to share embarrassing stories when you bring over your first love. The one you would’ve have married. No aisle or picket fence. It’s such bullshit.” Correcting himself with a small “Sorry.” But he doesn’t mean it.

“…I wish you were still here,” no longer able to fight the tears streaming down his face. Even when he furiously wipes them away. “That I could see you still sitting at the kitchen table with that disgusting tea that you insist is good. That I could argue to get you away from your precious books.” It’s at that point that Bruce begins to walk up.

“Just, wherever you landed, I hope you’re not in pain. Whether that’s physical or emotional. Can I ask for that much?” Letting Bruce walk him off. Crumpling into his side. Still the little boy that became his first Robin. Before Dick morphed into the current version of himself that was always angry at him. Something Bruce would gladly take the brunt of, as long as Dick kept him around.

Saw The Accountant 2...thoughtsies;

bit all over the place in terms of how they're organized

Definite nitpick but that's accountant squared on the title card but fuck it, we ball

I didn't know who Jon Bernthal was when I watched the 1st movie in theaters so that was a nice surprise. even though like duh, he's going to be in this movie

Were some spots, like the speed dating scene where I thought there was going to be second hand cringe but appreciated that it ended up comedic

Like dude, you can't gamify (not the best word use there) dating. just ends bad

Also the fact that Braxton definitely has some form of autism as well or some other form of neurodivergency that isn't all too compatible with Chris'. Like him not being able to shut the fuck up ever (affectionate) or how his voice doesn't change much in terms of tone. That and Chris probably did want to reach out but too much time ended up passing

Both Braxton & Christian practicing social scripts + facial expressions—like the amount of effort/energy that goes into socializing

Justine calling Braxton "dreamboat"

My mom caught onto the Jane Doe = female hitman = Edith Sanchez a moment before the movie revealed it

Hell yeah, Braxton being Chris' hype man while he's line dancing w/ Angie + how happy Brax looks at the end when Chris is like "you wanna go hiking with me?" and it being a distraction from Alberto hogging the cat. Which cat distribution system back at it again

I was slightly hoping Anna Kendrick would turn up again but she has enough on her plate w/ Blake Lively & Another Simple Favor. Plus her story line was wrapped up neatly in the first one. Looked up the reason; yeah, that makes sense. Like there was enough in the 1st film to have Anna's character be set up as a love interest but even then, I liked that they didn't

Was also hoping more would've been said/explored with the scene of Justine + the Harbor Neuroscience kids & Marybeth—the whole invasive quality of the way they collect intel which they kinda do. The scene where she does it by the books and the guy gets murdered as he's signing the paperwork to get immunity

Looked it up but apparently acquired savant syndrome is a thing. I didn't doubt that it was seeing as the original film was beloved by a good chunk of the Autism community. There was probably someone there to fact check it. From the one IB psych class I took in high school, figured it has something to do with neuroplasticity (by no means an expert)

May Wrap-up

Lies My Teacher Told Me: Everything American History Textbooks Get Wrong - James W. Loewen [4.5 stars]

Sensory: Life on the Spectrum - Bex Ollerton

Heartstopper Vol 4 & 5 - Alice Oseman [4.0 stars]

I had that same dream again - Yoru Sumino & Idumi Kiribati [4.0 stars

Batman: City of Madness - Christian Ward [3.75 stars]

Shay’s Story - Scott Westerfeld, Devin Grayson, & Steven Cummings [3.5 stars]

Read Pretties back in middle school and remember thinking it was an interesting concept just to dnf the second book in the series. Writing was just eh. But this graphic novel did make me realize this is another one of those series where the main character’s pov is the least interesting one. Like how w/ Twilight, there’s a chunk of people who’ve said they’d love to read a book centered around Alice or Rosalie & her point of view. But unlike Twilight, I’m pretty sure Tally is supposed to be the reader-insert rather than an author-insert. Like the character who’s supposed to know nothing so you, the reader can easily learn more about the world.

The Autism-Friendly Cookbook - Lydia Wilkins [3.25 stars]

A Maze Me - Naomi Shihab Nye [3.25 stars]

Really enjoyed it. Deals w/ the whole having nostalgia around a simpler time in one’s life. That and the difficulties around figuring out a sense of identity during transitional periods. Becoming a tweens—teens—adult. The different levels of responsibilities.

The Unwanted: Stories of the Syrian Refugees - Don Brown [3.0 stars]

It’s a good place to start in terms of learning about the topic. Which is a perk as it is a graphic novel. But I do think it simplifies things down to a cut and dry bluntness. Being just the statistics at times. Or short quotes from said refugees. But as a graphic novel, it does add a lot of humanity that textbooks don’t. Or miss out on in covering all the complexities.

My Cat is Such Weirdo Vol 1 - Tamako Tamagoyama [3.0 stars]

Batman Incorporated Vol 2: Joker Incorporated - Ed Brisson [2.0 stars]

Liked some of the characters but not the overall concept. Makes sense that Batman would eventually become a global thing but at the same time, Bruce seems like he'd let them take care of their own. Only get involved if they needed him & reached out.

Also the whole 'Batman needs his Joker' thing has already been beaten to death with all the movies. That and there's more to Batman than his relationship with the Joker. It’s not the most quintessential part. Like do something else w/ the dynamic if you’re gonna use it. And I say this b/c all the issues included in this are from 2022 so more recent.

The Graveyard Club: Revenge Game - R.L. Stine [1.75 stars]

How I picture Florence’s hair. Still picture them as more of a strawberry blonde than ginger or dyed red. But was shooting more for overall length + texture Pic of Nicole Kidman (middle right ->) is how they wear it during work as a sister of sin. Otherwise keeps it down or loosely tied off to the side
