i think the problem with hotd is that people are expecting asoiaf levels of writing or early got levels of writing but they're just not built like that lol martin is a generational talent but f&b is not that good and some changes are needed

okay so-

f&b is bad

objectively yes. i think it has better world building than a lot of other fantasy out there but the concept of “hiding my hints about the main series through world building with an unreliable narrator” is not done particularly well with f&b. i think it just doesn’t fit george’s gardening writing style and i wish he’d let it go or at least rework the concept.

some changes are needed

again, yeah objectively, and that’s not even just an f&b thing. adapting a series with this many characters and this many moving parts is monumentally difficult and that’s not even getting into how moving from book to film is always a challenge bc something that works on paper won’t work visually. but also, with how all over the place f&b is, it makes sense to tweak things to be more thematically resonant.

people are expecting better writing but these people do NAWT have that dog in em

again objectively right. it’s not just that no one can stand up to george’s writing, it’s that d&d just fundamentally misunderstand or don’t care about a lot of the main themes and characters in the books. they specifically spoke derisively about fans of the books who were “moms” (what the fuck does that even mean!) and nerds who like to analyze themes, because d&d are fake nerds, they are NOT fantasy lovers and they are NOT good writers. then you get condal, who imo buys way too much into the idea of the divinity of nobility in fiction (which is a very common thing in american fantasy. i think i’ve talked about this before, but mia from btb had a really great thread basically saying that divine nobility is so common in american fantasy bc we’ve never culturally HAD a monarchy & therefore don’t have that cultural memory of “this system sucks and we should be guillotining these freaks post haste” and this is something george is specifically critiquing!) which is why he’s so willing to cut lowborn or what i like to call “middle class nobility” like jeyne poole, beth cassell, and nettles (and tbh i think there’s shades of this in why sandor is written so abysmally too) and i do think ryan UNDERSTANDS that monarchies are Bad but he has this preoccupation with Exploring Divine Right that eclipses a lot of the class analysis. and hess is just like. idk what that woman’s problem is tbh i think she has a preoccupation with women being victimized and while i think understanding the ins and outs of what Being A Woman In The World is incredibly important to have in the writers room, i also think what she wants is catharsis and that’s just not something this series is ever going to offer anytime soon.

all of that to say, condal & hess may have a better understanding of the series and less weird hang ups about gender, race, and sexuality than d&d, they’re already kind of fucked bc the og show is such a bad adaption and they have their OWN hang ups that they seem completely unaware of, and no one to tell them no bc this ip is hbo’s cash cow.

the problem

HOWEVER. i feel similar about like, the last jedi for example in that i think that was a deeply flawed and annoying movie that misunderstands the entirety of lucas’ skywalker saga and is way too focused on kyle ron’s whiny bitch baby tantrums over his parents getting divorced when it should have been focused on THE MAIN FUCKING CHARACTERS in rey & finn, ntm the incredibly weird racial dynamics of how rian wrote finn, poe, rose, and tio benicio’s character who i forget the name of. BUT. i also think a lot of the good, necessary, and CORRECT criticism of tlj gets lost in the misogynistic racist nerdboy backlash to Women And Brown People Existing, and then further buried by Disney running the IP into the fucking ground (as well as, unfortunately, queen carrie fisher dying before production was finished).

So IMO i think there’s a non zero chance that HBO does some meddling with hotd bc it’s expensive and a big ip, and because tbis is a series that means a lot emotionally to a lot of people, including some of the most annoying illiterate assholes on the internet, a lot of the really good, necessary, and CORRECT criticism gets lost under the sheer amount of people with nicola-or-holliday-as-rhaenyra-icons bitching about how they don’t let rhaenyra look girly enough and never mind that outside of like two scenes where she HAS to wear trousers, she’s ALWAYS WEARING DRESSES AND JEWELRY??? it’s like, yeah i DO think the way they write daemon’s interactions with his daughters & laena is stupid & bad & makes him less interesting as a character and i think part of that is hess’ preoccupation with victimization and catharsis but do NOT put me in the same goddamn conversation as people unironically saying that targaryen problems started when they started fucking andals, it’s not MY fault the h particles go craaaazy in this fandom!

Crazy Hup AoR comic theory

Spoilers for AoR comic of Hup:

At the very end, Barfinnious begins to tell the story of Deet and Hup/presumably the resistance. Specifically he says “another place another time” and then were shown Deet and Hup meeting for the first time from the show. We know this because of Deet saying “I used to get along with animals” which in the show is word for word what she said. I feel this can have some crazy implications lore wise:

A. Bar was watching Hup/Deet and was meant to later be introduced to the show as a parental stand in for losing Ordon and Mayrin. He clearly tells Hup/Deet meeting right so it’s possible he didn’t want to reveal himself till later with the arathim right there. The age makes sense and I could see him being a very good contrast to Rian’s previous unhealthy relationship of looking up to Ordon, probably Seladon/Brea with Mayrin as well.

B. This is the most unhinged but what if this implies Bar made up age of resistance. I know this would make soooo many mad, but when you look at it, Rian escaping from the castle was a god damn miracle. Even the stuff as small as Deet sneaking into Ha’rar seems far stretched, not to mention Rian allying them with the freaking arathim. Some more evidence which could make this plausible is that notice he’s telling the story to children, not adults like we see him doing previously. Yeah, one of them has a mother, but it’s still possible AoR could be a story of hope for the kids while they’re all in hiding because of the draining and Bar is trying to give them hope. The win at stone-in-the-wood in ep 10 would certainly make them more optimistic and knowing Rian is “fighting off the skeksis” could comfort them. Again, I may post this on Reddit and it’s sure to get hate, but decisions like gelfling willingly dreamfasting with Rian makes much more sense, as does the idea of killing the Skeksis off was off the table to make Rian seem more noble.

C. Alternate universe. This one seems the most unlikely but maybe it’s actually a different timeline Bar saw somehow through talking to Aughra or other means. I certainly wouldn’t put it past him to be in league with Sifa as he’s a very good con artist. So he saw the AoR timeline, made modifications to add someone he used to know, and came up with a good story for the kids. I mean in the opening we saw he ripped his old story off of Ordon (the whole destroying the arthim part). This wouldn’t be out of character at all.

I don’t think any of these are right at all. I just thought it’d be cool to share some ideas. Feel free to tell me how crazy this all is but I honestly think he could’ve been in the show at one point and I would’ve loved to see his puppet talk to the others.

these may b 2 of my favorite shows … doing a 20471120 dive after watching rian phin's video

over the last few years the more performance-based shows seem like they have been crafted to create a social media Moment. these 2 shows from the late 90s are great examples of making the presentation of clothing into a performance while sticking to the main ideas behind the collection. no gimmicks ! pure drama!!!

[panosatthemovies]

Glass Onion: A Knives Out mystery is an ambitious attempt at creating a franchise similar to Peter Ustinov Poirot's series of 1970s films, which was based on Agatha Christie's classic who-done-it novels. But, here lies the basic problem. Rian Johnson is no Agatha Christie. While he's a capable filmmaker and his heart is in the right place, wanting to evoke the feeling of Murder Under The Sun and other 70's pop culture, his plotting and character creation doesn't even come close to that of the master novelist. During the film's first half, I didn't even know what I was watching or why I should be caring about these characters. It was just a lot of exposition and set-up about people and motives I had no interest in. Also, I realize this was trying to be a mockery of Elon Musk or Steve Jobs, but you can't have fictional characters that pretend to be those and still have an actual iPad and its brand name as a plot point. Finally, although Knives Out worked, mainly because of Ana De Armas and an intriguing plot, I never stomached Daniel Craig as a southern buffoon detective. He may have done a perfect job as James Bond, even if he didn't look that part either, but although he's just having fun here, he's simply not convincing as a southern detective, no more than as a dancer in that Belvedere's vodka ad. I appreciate the effort, though, to make a high-profile 70s who-done-it that can get the family watching together, but I'd accept Ryan Johnson's idea of changing accents for Benoit Blanc in every installment and would urge him to base the characters closer to reality and not caricature the next time.

Trailer: https://youtu.be/gj5ibYSz8C0

PS. I admit the story resolution was original, and the second half was a clever subversion of the first if one made it that far. The film was also expertly shot in picturesque Greek locations, with some amazing set designs and costumes. And like many critics, my son had great fun with it, and that's what really counts with popular entertainment.

Possible Cast Members for “Knives Out 3”?

Rian Johnson has done it again with Glass Onion, an excellent follow-up to the raucously enjoyable Knives Out. The consistency in the writing and the way both films award repeat viewings make them great comfort watches, and Daniel Craig seems to be having a wonderful time playing the over-the-top Southern drawling, eagle eyed dandy Benoit Blanc. 

The success of the series so far has been not just the clever writing, but the casting, as each film utilises an ensemble of tremendous character actors who enjoy being outlandish and ridiculous. Unsurprisingly, Twitter quickly began asking who fans would love to see in the cast, and it prompted me to consider my own ideas. It won’t shock many to hear I quickly thought of many, but below are some of my ideas. The good thing is that Benoit Blanc has the potential to be the Columbo of feature films, appearing every few years in an ongoing franchise, so even if these don’t all appear in the third movie, there could always be the next one...

Brendan Fraser is currently in the midst of a career renaissance due to his performance in The Whale, where he has become a front runner for Best Actor prizes in his heartbreaking portrayal. But this kind hearted, beloved man first came to prominence with his self-deprecating manner in fan favourite cult classics such as George of the Jungle and one I particularly love, The Mummy. He’s shown his ability to balance comedy with pathos, so he’d be perfectly suited in this world.

Jon Hamm is man who looks like he is chiselled out of perfection, and yet surprised many with his comedic timing in 30 Rock and the Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt. Hamm could work perfectly as the murder victim in a Benoit Blanc movie, his magnetism allowing him to be depicted positively before flashbacks reveal a darker edge, akin to his more dramatic roles.

Stephanie Hsu was the surprise break out from Everything Everywhere All At Once, demonstrating surprising pathos in her support role and impressively holding her own against Michelle Yeoh. A trope in the previous two movies of the series has been Blanc’s double act with a young female, firstly the Cuban-Spanish Ana De Armas, and then the non-binary African-American Janelle Monae, so it wouldn’t be surprising if they continue that method. Hsu could have a brilliant double act with Craig, so I think she’d be fantastic.

Hugh Jackman is handsome, can sing, is funny, an amazing dramatic actor, and reputedly one of the nicest human beings in Hollywood. Renowned for his classic portrayals of Wolverine, one of the few action heroes to challenge James Bond, I could see him portraying one of Benoit’s best friends, inviting both Blanc and Hugh Grant’s Phillip to a Broadway event (any excuse to see Jackman, Grant and Craig singing Broadway together).

Daniel Kaluuya is mostly known for his partnership with Jordan Peele, specifically in the excellent horror films Get Out and Nope, as well as his appearances in Steve McQueen’s Widows and his award winning performance in Judas and the Black Messiah. However, an often underrated element is his dry, deadpan line reading, epitomised by his performance in Nope especially. I could see Kaluuya in a similar role to LaKeith Stanfield from Knives Out as an exasperated detective working alongside Benoit Blanc.

Lupita Nyong’o may be better known for her dramatic roles in 12 Years A Slave, Jordan Peele’s Us, and even her role as Nakia in the Black Panther series, but it’s actually her role in the horror comedy Little Monsters that makes me think she would suit the series. Portraying a kindergarten teacher trying to protect her class from a zombie outbreak, her mix of sincere positivity and deadpan humour could make her a Toni Collette / Kathryn Hahn esque figure.

Sandra Oh finally got the lead role she deserved in her series Killing Eve, her role as Eve Polastri allowing her to demonstrate her tremendous range in comedy and drama. She mainly now features in voiceover roles, such as Turning Red or Invincible, but it would be great to see her bring her frazzled energy to a Benoit Blanc mystery.

Pedro Pascal is currently the lead in two of the biggest possible television shows, firstly playing the eponymous character in Disney’s The Mandalorian, and recently taking on the lead role of Joel in HBO’s The Last Of Us. Although these two roles means Pedro is likely going to be fully booked for the majority of his time, a role in a Benoit Blanc ensemble seems perfectly suited for him.

Florence Pugh is probably the least likely, considering she’s now a critical and commercial darling with upcoming roles in Dune: Part Two and ongoing performance as Yelena Belova in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. However, her comedic timing demonstrated in Fighting With My Family and as Yelena is an underrated element of her repertoire that deserves more attention. She would seemingly suit a similar role to Ana De Armas and Janelle Monae, but I’d love to see that expectation get turned on its head and reveal her to be more similar to Kate Hudson in Glass Onion, the reversal of “hidden depths”.

Those are just some that come to mind, but I’d love to hear others thoughts on who they would have join the Benoit Blanc Cinematic Universe?

"One of Sherlock Holmes’s defects—if, indeed, one may call it a defect—was that he was exceedingly loath to communicate his full plans to any other person until the instant of their fulfilment. Partly it came no doubt from his own masterful nature, which loved to dominate and surprise those who were around him. Partly also from his professional caution, which urged him never to take any chances. The result, however, was very trying for those who were acting as his agents and assistants.

Q&A

[kevrocksicehouse]

Richard Roundtree

(1942-2023)

Gordon Parks' Shaft has one of the most unassuming of iconic openings in cinema, just five minutes of Richard Roundtree walking through the streets of New York  sporting a brown leather jacket and black turtleneck, cutting around traffic and flipping off drivers, showing his badge to a street vendor, shooting the shit with a blind newsie while Isaac Hayes’s Oscar-winning theme (as classic as James Bond’s) extols a bad mutha-shut-your-mouth who’ll risk his neck for his brother-man and won’t cop out when there’s danger all about. Before the plot even starts to kick in we know all there is to know about him. John Shaft is a private dick (a sex machine to all the chicks) and this is HIS town.

Blaxploitation was a misleading term for what was really Afro-contextualism, the reframing of B-Movie noir and action films with Black characters and actors. Shaft was a classic PI trying to find a kidnapped girl while maneuvering  between the cops and the mob but his race (and Roundtree’s charisma) reframed the standard detectives alienation into a general long-assumed acceptance of how things are (we can imagine a young Walter Mosley sitting in the audience and taking notes). Roundtree played him less as a jaded cynic than as a sardonic man-about town as, much Cary Grant as Bogart. And while a typical detective film has the hero walking, sadder but wiser (or more embittered) Shaft just turns back into the city, his city, laughing his ass off.

It was Roundtree’s breakthrough and the high point of a good career. He played the character in two sequels and a later reboot where he sat back and let Samuel L. Jackson (playing his namesake nephew) do the heavy lifting. He played an Evel Knievel-style stunt rider in the enjoyably awful Earthquake (1974) and appeared as various authority figures in City Heat (1984), David Fincher’s Se7en (1995) Rian Johnson’s Brick (2005) and many, many other films. But there’s a reason he’s being commemorated. Sidney Potier may have given a black cop authority but Roundtree gave his panache and style. RIP.
