My rating: 2/10

Quite possibly the worst thing David Warner has ever been in, and that is a low, low bar to squeeze under.

The Lady and the Unicorn

This made the news a while ago, with the usual imbecile speculation on trademark infringement (that particular troll has no idea, of course, and I shall immediately explain what I think). Today, though, there seems to be some ironic reaction from S to the fact that Beyoncé's own white label bourbon, a supposed nod to her family's past, seems to closely mirror The Sassenach's bottle design:

People did not seem to have understood it at all, as they should have considered also the other story he immediately added to this one:

And of course, the Gay Troll went with her sad, tired, mendacious couplet about The Unicorn in the Room, heh. That particular cretin seems to have forgotten that a unicorn also means...

Or, for our beloved Spanish Mafia girls...

Of course, SS is still frolicking somewhere around the Minicorn Pasture (meaning that its market value would be, in my book, evaluated somewhere between 1 and 3 million USD - based on absolutely nothing else but common sense and my personal hunch), but his pun is just about S being confident that his business ventures will be successful, nothing more - as shown in the medals' story also featuring an unicorn, of course. And mark me, I see absolutely nothing hostile towards Beyoncé: it's just ironic and well, it has no legal implications whatsoever, as a design similarity does not qualify as a trademark or copyright infringement, except in very precise situations, such as when iconic brands are involved.

The above was not invented by me, but stated by the US Supreme Court, in its very recent (June 2023) decision in Jack Daniel’s Properties, Inc. v. VIP Products, LLC (you can read it all here, including Justice Kagan's very clear legal opinion on SCOTUS' interpretation: https://www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/22pdf/22-148_3e04.pdf). In a nutshell, the design of a product will always be protected by the provisions of the Lanham Act, only if unfair use (such as a parody of the product by a toy maker, as in Jack Daniel's decision, or a close copycat) could dilute a 'famous mark' (meaning by this either cause unjustified prejudice or cause confusion among the consumers). In all the other situations, the SCOTUS' legally binding precedent, in the Wal-Mart Stores, Inc v. Samara Brothers, Inc affair (2000), applies:

Or, in Justice Scalia's unanimous opinion: 'design, like color, is not inherently distinctive' . Neither that horse, nor that unicorn, are yet iconic and therefore the trademark infringement discussion is empty and void. As is the slanderous insinuation that SS copied a Japanese whisky brand's bottle design - Suntory's Hibiki being the brand quoted by the Mordorian experts.

If anything, Suntory's Hibiki eerily resembles that FMN gin bottle design - but why embarrass ourselves with facts, huh?

Tom Berenger in Fear City (Abel Ferrara, 1984)

Cast: Tom Berenger, Billy Dee Williams, Jack Scalia, Melanie Griffith, Rossano Brazzi, Rae Dawn Chong, Joe Santos, Michael V. Gazzo, Jan Murray, Janet Julian, Daniel Faraldo, Maria Conchita Alonso, Ola Ray, John Foster. Screenplay: Nicholas St. John. Cinematography: James Lemmo. Production design: Vincent Joseph Cresciman. Film editing: Jack W. Holmes, Anthony Redman. Music: Dick Halligan. 

Abel Ferrara's style and ability to create an atmosphere almost manage to redeem the tawdry Fear City, but there's really no getting over the leaden familiarity of the story. Someone is mutilating and killing the dancers who work in New York City's strip clubs and the police, club owners, and managers of the women are unable to stop the carnage. Eventually, it falls to Matt Rossi (Tom Berenger), the co-owner of a talent agency that supplies the dancers, to search out the killer and deal with him. Rossi is a damaged man: an ex-boxer who killed a man in the ring and is tormented with guilt, but when the target becomes his ex-girlfriend Loretta (Melanie Griffith), he feels compelled to act. You can see from the start where the plot is going -- toward a showdown in a dark alley. It doesn't help that Rossi is at odds with the police officer in charge of the investigation, Al Wheeler (Billy Dee Williams), who hates Italians: "There's nothing I hate more than guineas in Cadillacs," Wheeler says, watching Rossi get in his car. Ferrara can sometimes be thuddingly obvious in exposition: We know from flashbacks what the cause of Rossi's guilt and depression is, but just in case we don't get it Ferrara needlessly inserts a scene in which we see newspaper clippings about the opponent's coma and death. More time might have been spent developing the character of the killer, who is just a figure out of a nightmare. The acting in Fear City is mediocre and there's more exploitative nudity than necessary in the dance club scenes, but the movie undeniably holds your attention.

So...

I'm watching The Teen Wolf Movie...

The following part is me commenting about the things that I see in the movie while I'm watching it, so the part below will be updated continuously for the next 2 hours

⚠️SPOILERS⚠️

•

•

•

•

So for 15 years Allison has been stuck in Bardo?! FR?!

---------------------------------------

Hate the fact that we don't get Thiam canon

---------------------------------------

Hate the fact that Stiles is not in the movie BUT MY BABY IS OFFICIALY PART OF THE FBI I'M SO PROUD OF HIM!!

---------------------------------------

Derek's got Stiles' Jeep, I repeat DEREK'S GOT STILES' JEEP OMJ I'M CRYING

---------------------------------------

Derek: "He [Eli] took the Jeep again, didn't he?"

Noah: "Why the hell does he keep taking the Jeep?"

Derek: "Because he know I hate it"

BECAUSE IT'S HIS BOYFRIEND'S AND NOBODY CAN YOU USE IT IF NOT HIM

Sterek all the way❤️

---------------------------------------

AHAHAHAHA Jackson popping out so randomly AHAHAHAH

---------------------------------------

Of course it's the Nemeton... it's ALWAYS the Nemeton

---------------------------------------

I'm sorry, MALIA WHAT THE HELL?!?! From the trailer we all knew about you and Jordan... BUT NOT LIKE THIS!! WHAT WAS THAT ENTRANCE?! OH MY JACK!!

---------------------------------------

Soo... is somebody going to tell us what happened with Stydia and Scalia, and who is Eli's mom?

Nvm Eli has two dads, Derek and Stiles

Please he his SO MUCH like Stiles!!

---------------------------------------

X: "How many curse words do you want?"

Jeff: "Yes"

---------------------------------------

Aww Derek tells Eli The Teen Wolf Chronicles🥺

---------------------------------------

X: "How many naked people do you want?"

Jeff: "Yes"

---------------------------------------

"Scott who?" This hurts

---------------------------------------

Oh and yeah, how exactly Mason ended up to be a police officer? And more important WHERE THE HELL IS COREY?!

---------------------------------------

Derek's eyes😍

They are a lighter shade of blue... so gorgeous

---------------------------------------

Liam my baby I love you so much🥰

---------------------------------------

Sooo Eli's problem is that he passes out seeing his own fangs and claws? Great for a werewolf

---------------------------------------

So basically is season three all over again but this time without Void Stiles... as much as I love season three... Jeff you could've come up with something new

---------------------------------------

FINALLY MY FAVOURITE HELLOUND AND FAVOURITE CREATURE🔥❤️

---------------------------------------

HERE HE COMES!! Popping out of nowhere!! But we're not complaining: it's good to see you Peter!!

---------------------------------------

But exactly... why is Jackson here? He looks so out of place!!

---------------------------------------

Eli: "My dad told me you almost had to cut his arm off once because of wolfsbane poisoning"

STILES almost had to!!

---------------------------------------

Jackson: "Why don't we catch him and kill the Nogitsune? That sounds like a pretty good plan to me"

OH THAT'S A GREAT IDEA!! How did no one think about it in season three? Kill the Nogitsune... it was so easy guys.

Jackson honey, I understand that you weren't there at the time, but if they're telling you that the Nogitsune is back it means that they couldn't kill him... and if they could, why wouldn't they do it? THINK JACKSON

---------------------------------------

I checked: even though it was pretty obvious, Hikary and Liam said "I love you"... that's a low blow

---------------------------------------

Eli: "I can do this"

Apparently he can't

---------------------------------------

Rowan trees burned down... excellent

---------------------------------------

Malia and Jordan... it kinda looks wrong to me and I don't know why

---------------------------------------

So, responsible for burning down Derek's house and supposed to be dead... it can't be Gerard, right? Please tell me it's not him.

Nahh, the figure seems too young to be him!!

---------------------------------------

So this is actually Allison?!

---------------------------------------

Derek: "Eli did you see your eyes?"

Eli: "How the hell am I supposed to see my eyes? They're the things I use to see"

Finally someone saying something that make actually sense!!

---------------------------------------

ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME?!

HARRIS?! ... I MEAN SERIOUSLY?!

Where the hell did he come from?! This doesn't make any sense!!

---------------------------------------

Of course... ELI YOU'RE OFFICIALY WELCOME INTO THE CLUB OF TRAUMATISED KIDS!!

---------------------------------------

Heartbreak? What happened with Stiles, Lydia?

---------------------------------------

I... certainly did not expect this... Lydia saved him by not being with him... this is a thing I didn't think could ever be possible.

It seems like they're not meant to be, please it's so sad😭

---------------------------------------

THE SCREAAAAAAAAM!!!

---------------------------------------

So it's now possible to borrow fox fire from a kitsune? Ehm... ok

---------------------------------------

Ok but seeing the three of them with all different eye colour gave me chills!!

---------------------------------------

"You can't kill me"

and all I can think about is:

"You can kill the Oni but me, ME! I'm a thousand years old YOU CAN'T KILL ME"

---------------------------------------

AAA THE ROARS!!😆

CHILLS, LITERAL CHILLS!

---------------------------------------

WAIT SO DEREK IS A TRUE ALP--

WHERE THE HELL DID HE GO?!

---------------------------------------

But the Scallison kiss🥺❤️

---------------------------------------

STOP!! HE'S NOT DEAD!!

DEREK IS NOT FUCKIND DEAD!!

He cannot be... he's not.. he's not😭

---------------------------------------

Derek fixed Stiles' Jeep, I'm weak😭😭

THE JEEP IS THE REAL FUCKING GLUE OF THIS SHOW!!

---------------------------------------

Derek you didn't deserve this end after all the pain you suffered...❤️

but we know that you're not dead so stop messing around and turn back to your family, they still need you

---------------------------------------

Noah: "[Derek] had complicated feelings about that Jeep"

We all know what that means...

IT'S LIKE DESTIEL ALL OVER AGAIN, ARE YOU KIDDING ME?!

Pain, pure pain

Oh my Sterek💔

---------------------------------------

So in the end Scott kept his promise after all❤️

From now on every time I'll do a rewatch and get to that scene... I'll watch it with different eyes

---------------------------------------

"REMEMBER WHO YOU ARE"

---------------------------------------

CONCLUSIONS:

I liked it because it's Teen Wolf, one of my favourite series, but I got to say that i'm pretty disappointed.

I particularly loved all the references to Stiles, a way to make him part of the movie without actually being in the movie, loved it.

Can't believe I'm saying this, but for the role he played Liam could have very well not been in the movie. This hurts, but he practically did nothing, he barely spoke. I'm really mad for this, he seemed so useless. And maybe I'm biased but I saw zero chemistry between him and Hikari.

Jeff, you could have used him better, for example I don't know CANONISING THIAM.

I felt the lack of Theo Reaken references, so now I'm going to reply on fanfictions👍

But Hikari too, she had pontential but turn out to be pretty useless.

All the time waiting for Liam to interact with Mason (his best-friend) and Scott (his brother) and... nothing.

Also, I CANNOT BELIEVE THAT I WAITED ALL THIS TIME JUST TO SEE DEREK HALE DIE... AGAIN!! Even thought I strongly believe that he's not dead, that hurt!!

On a scale from 1 to 10 this movie is a 5.5, could have been definitely better, starting by creating a different story but I liked it. Definitely loved some parts!!

Now, technically there will be a second movie that I will obviously watch cause it's Teen Wolf, and I truly hope that it will be better that the first.

That's it, I just got a lot of unanswered questions
