C'est si bon

En mode globe-trotter au village Olympique et dans Paris.

Jean Philippe, dijonnais de 1982 à 1995, a été bénévole au Village Olympique. Increvable fondeur, le sexagénaire Drômois cumule un total de 31 Vasaloppet. En plus d’avoir l’œil à la ronde pour reconnaître un athlète de haut niveau, ce vieux de la vieille des bénévoles, au parcours de globe-trotter, a une carte de visite riche d’un relais de la flamme à Rio. Au service de la délégation Tadjike, il a pu réaliser d’autres missions à la demande des organisateurs. Le dernier jour il conduit les Nigérians au Centre de transport d’où ils sont acheminés pour la cérémonie de clôture. Jean Philippe partage avec délice des souvenirs d’une activité qu’il compare à celle d’un guide. “La délégation KIR ? Pas celle du chanoine, un code attribué par le CIO à un pays ; Kiribati, 3 atolls en Océanie.” Les rumeurs sur la restauration au Village ? “Il s’est dit des âneries. L’hébergement était au top avec des menus variés et adaptés. 95 % des athlètes résidaient au VO à part des athlètes US, les stars NBA logés en 4 étoiles. Sur 206 délégations, les Britanniques sont les seuls à avoir apporté de la bouffe et les 2 derniers jours, ils ont distribué la nourriture en trop.” Le rafraîchissement des logements ? “Avant l’ouverture, l’affolement a provoqué l’installation d’un bon millier de clims mobiles par les délégations riches ; des volontaires n’ont fait que ça. Pour rien. La qualité thermique des logements au VO est une merveille.” L’euphorie nationale née des JO ? Il la compare aux Jeux de 1968. “Télévisés en couleur pour la première fois, les Xes Jeux d’hiver ont généré un enthousiasme avec les 3 titres de Killy. Alain Calmat, micro sur la poitrine pour retransmettre les battements du cœur, avait gravi 100 marches pour allumer la vasque en haut d’une tour. Les skieurs tricolores engrangeaient les podiums. Tout un pays se passionne. Claude Lelouch réalise 13 Jours en France, documentaire sur ces Jeux de la France. Hugues Aufray dédie une chanson à Killy. Paris 2024 change de dimension et puis il y a Léon, c’est tout bon. ” Le Rhônalpin évoque sa rencontre avec deux athlètes réputés sports d’hiver en visite au village : Edgar Grospiron, Albertville 1992 ; Cyril Moré, paraplégique à 17 ans suite à un accident de ski, 7 Jeux d’été, 4 en escrime fauteuil depuis Atlanta 1996, 3 d’hiver en ski assis à partir de 2006. Tous deux consultants pour France TV. Jean Philippe est prêt pour les Paralympiques, devant sa télé dit-il, au pied du Vercors. C’est si bon.

Psycho Analysis: Enchantress

(WARNING! This analysis contains SPOILERS!)

I really feel bad for Enchantress. Like, she has such a cool design, she has such a cool concept, and Suicide Squad just does diddly squat with her. Part of it is obviously the jarring tonal clash of having a bunch of relatively normal criminals going up against a superpowered demon witch for their first mission, part of it is the awful writing for her holding her back, and all of it adds up to a disappointing mess that continued the proud DCEU trend of having dull, unengaging generic doomsday villains (a trend that wouldn’t truly be broken to any great extent until the release of Aquaman).

Actor: Cara Delevingne portrays the wicked witch of the DCEU, but sadly she doesn’t really get to showcase her acting chops here. Enchantress does nothing but writhe around like a Wacky Waving Inflatable Arm Flailing Tube Man, and June Moone is just a satellite character at best. She doesn’t bring anything to this role, but at the very least I can say the fault here much more squarely lays upon the shoulders of the writers, unlike with Jared Leto where it was clearly his suckiness that was ruining things.

Motivation/Goals: So, Enchantress discovers people don’t worship or even know who she is anymore, and instead worship machines. So, she decides to do the logical thing: build a giant magitek doomsday weapon to wipe out all technology, all while doing weird interpretive dance. Yeah, our villain is a demonic Luddite womanchild who hates that people aren’t paying attention to her and so throws an epic temper tantrum. Wonderful.

Personality: She’s crazy, selfish, and entitled, but really, the most we get from her is very surface-level observations, as she’s not really characterized all that well. There’s not much to even talk about here, becsue even what could normally be gleaned from watching a film like this is contradicted – she treats her brother like an expendable mook for the entire film (which he is, to be fair), but then when he dies she seems actually upset, and actually begs to be killed so she can be with him again. This comes so out of nowhere and flies in the face of how she’s been this whole movie that it feels like a flaccid attempt at pity for her than anything. It doesn’t help that Incubus isn’t exactly much of a character himself.

Final Fate: Flag kills her by crushing her heart, meaning she actually does get to go and be with her brother in the pile of dead, crappy villains.

Final Thoughts & Score: Enchantress just does not work in the confines of this film. Like, at all.

The whole entire concept of the movie is that the Suicide Squad is a black ops group of criminals roped by Amanda Waller to do the dirty work heroes can’t do. None of these criminals are so-called metahumans, save for Diablo. Most everyone here is just a regular person with really good skills in their respective fields, be that assassin (Deadshot), escape artist (Slipknot), boomerang-themed bank robber (Captain Boomerang), or clown (Harley). Now, when you look at this group, do they seem at all like the kind of group who, on their very first mission, one where they do not know each other and frankly can’t stand each other, should be going up against a magical, apocalyptic interdimensional witch demon and her army of zombies? Does that make any sort of sense?

Like I’m all for mashup movies but I really think something like this should have been saved for a sequel, perhaps after building up Enchantress more, giving her more of a character, and have her actively helping the Squad. As it stands, she comes off as a weak, generic, underwritten villain, and it’s a real shame, because her design and concept are top notch (at least until the final confrontation). On paper, she seems a really cool villain, but she’s just not a cool villain the Suicide Squad should be facing, and so she just comes off as an overwhelmingly large threat to a ridiculous degree. This movie is like what you’d get if you asked the Paw Patrol to take down SPECTRE; narratively, it could happen, but should it happen? Would it really be cool and satisfying? It hurts even more because the Joker is, like, right there, and I’m sure I speak for all of us when I say I would have loved to see Jared Leto get his face beat in.

As it stands, Enchantress is just an absolute tonal mess who does not fit the movie she’s in at all. She’s a ridculously powerful superhuman physical god in a movie about a bunch of jerks without superpowers being sent on a black ops government mission, and she just doesn’t gel with it at all. Ultimately she gets a 2/10, though I will say this: she doesn’t fill me with revulsion to the same degree Jared Leto’s Joker does, even if she has the same score. At least her design and the idea behind her are cool, and her actress seems like a nice person, which is more than can be said for Leto’s Joker and Leto himself, generally speaking. I really think Enchantress should have been saved for a sequel and been built up more, but I suppose nothing can be done about that now.

I really can’t stress enough though how much I love Enchantress’ design, though. It’s just so cool, and kinda hot in that evil stringy-haired ghost girl kind of way. Though the less said about that weird form she takes at the end, the better…

...Yeah. No. Maybe it doesn’t look so bad in a still screenshot, but in the film it is such awkward and terrible CGI it makes Delevingne look like a living bobblehead amd swan dives right into the uncanny valley. Give me the creepy witch demon, thank you very much.

That actually reminds me, there’s actually another villain related to Enchantress in Suicide Squad, though one who I really don’t think warrants his own review. So for the first time, we’re having a Two-For-One Analysis! This one’s gonna be quick because there’s not much to talk about, but still, get ready for...

Psycho Analysis: Incubus

Enchantress has a brother. I feel the need to say this because you probably forgot this guy even existed, which I think tells you almost all there is you need to know about him. Still, I decided I’m doing this, so I’m at least going to try and be fair here.

Actor: So the only reason I even bring up that he has an actor – Alain Chanoine is his name – is because I thought for the life of me this guy was just a big, ugly CGI creation. I didn’t even remember this guy speaking until I looked it up. That’s how little is brought to the table by his actor, but at the very least I don’t really blame him, because what exactly could he do with a character like this?

Motivation/Goals: He’s basically just assisting his sister. He really doesn’t have much more to him than that, he’s just the muscle.

Personality: So here’s his defining feature: His lack of personality. This guy hardly talks, hardly contributes to the plot, and just exists as an excuse for some fight scenes and to kill El Diablo, who dies heroically sacrificing himself. This guy is just so dull I forgot he was in this movie until I started writing the bit on his sister, and then decided maybe it would be good to just toss him in as a bonus.

Final Fate: El Diablo turns into a giant flaming Aztec skeleton (for… some reason) and fights him off, and then they blow him up with a bomb. Yeah, this ancient demon dies to a bomb, which is especially egregious since he takes worse in earlier scenes. Then again, a pathetic, stupid end to a pathetic, stupid villain is pretty much fitting for this guy.

Final Thoughts & Score: I already think that Enchantress was wasted in Suicide Squad, and if I think that, I feel it doubly for Incubus. This guy barely got to speak or do anything before unceremoniously being killed in an absolutely ridiculous way. Why was he even in the movie? It’s not like he’s a really famous villain to begin with. Why even bother using him if you’re just gonna dump all over him as a character like this? Like yeah, sure, he’s obscure and not a big name, but that’s the point of a movie like this: you should be taking these obscure villains and turning them into something memorable for the audience, so that they become household names. Look at villains like Ego or Thanos or Mysterio; they’re more villains that the comic book savvy would recognize on sight, and not what I would call household names like, say, Green Goblin or Joker or Magneto. But their movies helped elevate them to become truly iconic and well-known and well-regarded among even more casual fans. Here, though? They did the exact opposite somehow. They managed to make an obscure character so forgettable and pointless I forgot he was in the damn movie.

Incubus gets a 1/10, but obviously he’s not worse than Malekith. At the very least Incubus is just a crappy minor antagonist and not the main threat of the movie; his narrative function is basically as an elite mook serving his sister. He sucks, yes, but it’s hard to muster up the sheer revulsion I feel for a travesty like Malekith. There was just a lot less going for this guy in the first place, so when he failed to deliver, I wasn’t really surprised.

[mewtwostyle-blog]

Not going to lie... this is probably one of my favorite photos of me in fursuit. This is Alain Chanoine. One of his most recent acting roles is Incubus (Enchantress’ brother) in Suicide Squad. :)

He is the one who suggested this pose and it was hard for him to keep a straight face. I was dying inside my head XD

I have a near-pathological dislike of people coming into my home uninvited or unannounced.

Laissez-vous conter la cathédrale Notre-Dame de Rodez

Episode 2

 A la mort de l’évêque commanditaire, Raymond de Calmont-d’Olt, en 1298, l’essentiel du chœur est construit. On bâtit en englobant l’ancienne cathédrale, dans laquelle se tiennent encore les offices, tout en la démolissant au fur et à mesure de l’avancée du chantier. Le dessin du parti d’ensemble a parfois été attribué à Jean Deschamps. Formé à Paris dans les années 1230-1240, puis architecte des cathédrales de Clermont-Ferrand, Narbonne et Limoges, il incarne la notion même du gothique méridional : l’adoption et la transformation dans le Midi des formules du gothique rayonnant développées dans le domaine royal, en Ile-de-France, après leur apogée.

On retrouve ici à Rodez, cette même verticalité, avec une élévation à trois niveaux de la nef : les grandes arcades ouvrant sur les collatéraux, le triforium (galerie intérieure) puis les fenêtres hautes, mais la muralité importante rattache bien la cathédrale de Rodez aux constructions gothiques du Midi. Les réseaux de pierre des fenêtres dessinent de vastes baies dont seule la moitié est ouverte.

Le plan du chevet est similaire à celui des cathédrales de Narbonne et de Toulouse : l’extrémité du chœur est entouré par un déambulatoire à cinq chapelles rayonnantes polygonales et les bas-côtés de la partie droite du chœur ouvrent sur trois chapelles plus petites. Malgré un parti d’ensemble unitaire, la lenteur des travaux se signale par des différences sensibles dans la mise en œuvre des chapelles, construites au gré des fondations et des sépultures par les évêques et les chanoines.

Il faut imaginer la cité en agitation permanente ; les riverains réveillés dès l’aube, à l’embauche des ouvriers, la mise en place des échafaudages, des engins de levage, trépieds, potences et grues, aux voyages incessants des lourds charrois de bœufs, aidés de leurs colliers d’épaules pour tracter des billes de bois et des pierres déjà dégrossies, depuis les carrières rougissantes de grès, de Combelles, Saint-Mayme, Saint-Félix etc.

Le bois joue un rôle indispensable pour la construction : c’est la matière des grues, des échafaudages et des cintres. Pour hisser les pierres vers le ciel, à partir d’une grande hauteur, la grue en bois à roue d’écureuil est souvent requise, un type d’engin qui a fait son apparition à la fin du XIII siècle : Posées à même le sol ou sur une plate-forme, équipées de contrepoids, d’une double poulie, pivotantes ou non, ces grues peuvent être actionnées par un treuil, mais la roue d’écureuil offre plus de puissance. Une personne ou deux, suivant sa grandeur, entrant dans cette grande roue assure sa rotation en marchant à l’intérieur, entraînant un axe sur lequel s’enroule le cordage, supportant la charge.  Ce dispositif est couplé à une potence qui sert de bras de levage.

Légende : Grue médiévale à roue d'écureuil, illustration extraite du "Speculum humanae salvationis" (latin : Miroir du salut humain), œuvre latine du premier quart du XIV siècle, conservée à la Bibliothèque du Vatican.

 « On a calculé, écrit l’historien des cathédrales, Alain Erlande-Bradenburg, qu’avec une roue d’un diamètre de deux mètres cinquante, un homme pouvait faire monter une charge de cinq cent cinquante à six cents kilos. Les techniciens du Moyen Age se sont montrés inventifs, amplifiants de façon considérable le diamètre, jusqu’à atteindre huit mètres, doublant les roues, augmentant le nombre d’ouvriers. »

Un demi-siècle plus tard, vers 1330, les onze chapelles du chœur semblent construites. Mais le chantier est bientôt ralenti par la guerre de Cent ans…
