I loved Dracula's ex-girlfriend and I love your channel! I wanted to ask you about Alex and his apparent disdain for Fay. Like I understand him resenting her for essentially c0ckblock him in the dessert ordering scene, but he just seems to hate her guts from even before Belladonna show up to the restaurant. Why is that?The movie was amazing and you all look stunning!

I'm so glad you asked because the answer ties into an extremely important job Brandon had in literally the first shot, and he nails it

When the film opens we need the audience to quickly know when and where the story is taking place.

We can see and hear it's a restaurant so we're situated in space but we still need to be situated in time.

The clumsy way to do it would be to have Fay look at a clock and sigh, "Where is she?" But we can do better! Actors are there to serve the text, and Brandon's a great actor so he does it for us!

Alexander's irritated reaction when he flips his notebook shut tells us Fay has been here for a long time i.e. it's late at night.

This is how it looks in the script:

So the reason he dislikes her is she's been sitting here for ages not ordering anything! We set up a little about their relationship, we learn something about Belle (she's late), and we're situated in time.

When Belle finally does arrive Fay orders tap water and a burger - which we can reasonably assume are the cheapest things on the menu. Alexander corrects her: it's not just 'a burger' it's the Oak-smoked California hickory burger, they're not just 'fries' they're organic chipped potatoes twice-cooked in our house spice. Fay asks for ketchup and Alexander is visibly disgusted. We surmise he doesn't think she's classy enough for this restaurant.

Infinity Pool

2½ ud af 5 rige røvhuller

Lige så begejstret jeg var for Brandon Cronenbergs forrige film, Possessor, lige så skuffet blev jeg over at se infinity Pool, der er et stykke venstrehåndsarbejde camoufleret som horrorkunst, og kritikerne synes generelt at være hoppet på limpinden. Et rigt ægtepar holder ferie i en fiktiv ø-nation et ukendt sted på kloden (men optaget i Kroatien), hvor stort set alle idømmes dødsstraf for hvad som helst, men hvor man for penge kan købe sig til at få lavet en klon, der bliver henrettet i stedet. Da James (Alexander Skarsgaard) ved et uheld kører en mand ned, og denne dør, udnytter han denne udvej. Vi får imidlertid ikke at vide, hvordan det dybt tilbagestående land har båret sig ad med at opfinde en teknik, der ikke alene skaber perfekte kloner, men også udstyrer dem med originalens erindringer og personlighed. Det er med andre ord ikke science fiction, men fri fantasi (eller måske snarere mangel på samme). Ideen er ikke engang original, men blev brugt sidste år i Dual, der om muligt er endnu dårligere. Filmen bliver heller ikke bedre af, at den kvindelige hovedperson (i hvert fald på plakaten) er Mia Goth, som på trods af sin åbenlyse talentløshed bruges en del i tidens gysere. Forstå det, hvem der kan. Skarsgaard spiller glimrende, og det samme gør Cleopatra Coleman som James' rige kone.

Brandon Cronenberg synes at være mere interesseret i at lave en underlig og skæv film end at fortælle en logisk sammenhængende historie, og det er ærgerligt. De to ting kan nemlig sagtens kombineres. Bare spørg hans far.

Sweater Weather - The Neighbourhood lyrics

And all I am is a man

I want the world in my hands

I hate the beach but I stand

In California with my toes in the sand

Use the sleeves of my sweater

Let's have an adventure

Head in the clouds but my gravity's centered

Touch my neck and I'll touch yours

You in those little high waisted shorts, oh

She knows what I think about

And what I think about

🍇 One love, two mouths

One love, one house

No shirt, no blouse

Just us, you find out

Nothing that I wouldn’t wanna tell you about, no 🍇

☔ 'Cause it's too cold for you here

And now, so let me hold

Both your hands in the holes of my sweater ☔

And if I may just take your breath away

I don't mind if there's not much to say

Sometimes the silence guides a mind

To move to a place so far away

The goosebumps start to raise

The minute that my left hand meets your waist

And then I watch your face

Put my finger on your tongue

'Cause you love the taste, yeah

These hearts adore

Everyone the other beats hardest for

Inside this place is warm

Outside it starts to pour

Comin' down

🔄 🍇 2x

🔄 ☔ 2x

Woah, woah, woah

Woah, woah, woah, woah

Woah, woah

Woah, woah, woah, woah

Woah, woah

🔄 ☔ 2x

And it's too cold, it's too cold

The holes of my sweater

You need to get off my mind. I’m never satisfied It’s never good enough I always seem to find the right Formula for puttin’ up I tried to love you, baby In every way, in every way I tried to satisfy you, honey But you wouldn’t stay, I knew you wouldn’t stay I’m like a clothing rack Ya hang it out on me And if I really wanna find someone else I’ll find some company, eh-yeah I’m in a hurry, I don’t wanna worry ‘bout a little hiccup Why can’t you see? Why can’t you see that I am sick of… it all? I tried to love you, baby In every way, in every way I tried to satisfy you, honey But you wouldn’t stay, I knew you wouldn’t stay I tried to love you, baby In every way, in every way I tried to satisfy you, honey But you wouldn’t stay, I knew you wouldn’t stay I knew it was wrong but I thought about you still

Girl, I do not know where you’re running to I’m your finish line, I’m the one for you If you do me wrong, if I’m cruel to you You’re a fool for me, I’m a fool for you Shawty been talkin’ about her new options But options do not mean that they’re competition The master key perfectly fits your ignition Forever under the greatest possession You are not foreign at all to this sentence Hopefully this is the first time you did this shit
