KRISTY (2014) + REWATCH

😿Dog Dies💁‍♀️Strong Female Lead

Stars a Jennifer Lawrence looking motherf***er. Classic scheme of people murdering others and posting videos online (dark web). Awesome Hunter becomes the hunted scenes. You can tell the anguish of the protagonist throughout every event, even when she has the upper hand. The entire pool scene is absolutely amazing. The after credits scene was just stupid but hopefully enough people closed out before that. 

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

REWATCH REVIEW

I really enjoyed rewatching this, it is a lot of fun even if you remember some parts. I found myself looking forward to scenes and that movie held up well. This film is a lot of fun, I always love a “hunted becomes the hunter” story, especially with a strong female lead. Reminds me of You’re Next but with more Satan (so I guess Ready or Not?)

⭐⭐⭐⭐.5

Hard working college student, Justine, is targeted by a killer cult. After being pushed past the brink, the hunted turns hunter as this thrilling horror unfolds.

“Justine is dead. My name is Kristy.”

REWATCH REVIEW

All alone during Thanksgiving break, hard working college student, Justine, is mistaken by a killer cult as some blessed child of God when all she was trying to do was drown her loneliness in a pint of Ben & Jerry’s. The adults are extremely incapable in this movie (and one of them was Keith from Six Feet Under!) but I don’t fully know how or why, I get that they were surprised but, still, they are quickly and quietly disposed of and it is up to our Final Girl, Justine, to stop her would-be killers. 

What I love about this movie is that they appear to have blown all their budget on getting the empty college set so the bad guys had to wear homemade tinfoil masks which made me think this movie was low budget but it is a 6.9 million dollar movie. Wack. But seriously when I thought this was a low budget indie film I liked it a lot more than when I knew it was funded out the ass. This is a good movie but certainly not perfect. 

My understanding of why the cult nicknames their victims Kristy is because it is a shortening of Christ or like his chosen one or something, the name of their game is all to upset God and yes, it is a game to them. Justine assumes the role of Kristy and takes on her attackers after they kill her boyfriend and she shows very little mercy. This film isn’t really plot heavy it just kind of goes from location to location and kill to kill but it sure is a lot of fun. Each scene feels purposeful in our heroine's journey through the night. “Justine is dead. My name is Kristy.” Damn right, girl, you don’t just murder four (4) people and not change a little bit. A worthy film for the genre.

Phantom acting choices (1/?)

I've been going through the (literal thousands of) gifs I've made, and there are so many little moments from the show that I'd forgotten about! I'm having fun revisiting them and thought I might as well post some in installments—just choices I found particularly unique, funny, interesting, tender, potentially illegal, etc.

Ian Jon Bourg (Hamburg, 2001)

Michael Crawford (with Mary D'Arcy, Los Angeles, 1990)

Tim Martin Gleason (with Trista Moldovan, U.S. Tour, 2010)

Brent Barrett (Oberhausen, 2016)

David Arnsperger (Hamburg, 2014)

Anthony Crivello (with Andrew Ragone and Kristi Holden, Las Vegas, 2008)

Davis Gaines (with Marie Danvers, Los Angeles, 1998)

John Cudia (with Jennifer Hope Wills, U.S. Tour, 2006)

Would also like to do some for Christine and Raoul actors, eventually!

Remembering Shane MacGowan 1957-2023

Irish singer Shane MacGowan has died at 65. He co-founded The Pogues in 1982. After getting kicked out in 1991, he re-joined in 2001 and was with them until their end in 2014. He also had Shane MacGowan and The Popes, as well as solo work and collaborations with Nick Cave, Sinead O'Connor, and Dropkick Murphys.

The Pogues and Kristy MacColl's 1987 song "Fairytale in New York" is a holiday song I listen to every year as it's on multiple compilation albums. It was even featured in last year's Guardians of the Galaxy Holiday Special. I named The Pogues one of my Honorable Mentions for Best Irish Rockers of All-Time.

The link above is a list from Rolling Stone of his 15 essential songs with embedded videos.

It’s around this time a decade ago that I’d say I quit being An Artist. In 2014 I had a little podcast project cooking and I went to a residency to try to think more about it and maybe do some writing, as well as make more connections in Calgary. I ended up pretty unsatisfied with the work I was doing and having trouble figuring out how to proceed. I edited one of the episodes I recorded there and shelved the rest.

Around this time I was sending applications for things like shows or school and not hearing back a lot. There are a couple of people who did try to advocate for me and my work; Kristy put me into the Alberta Biennial in 2015 with some work from a couple years before, and I MC’d one of the AGA’s big events, which was fun. But also, who else noticed?

This question of course makes me remember the opportunities that I’ve not known how to say yes to. In 2013 someone from a residency tried to invite me to do an international project and broke ass me not even working full time couldn’t imagine how that would be possible. Shout out to the people who actually emailed me over the decade about D&D for hire too, only like one or two of who I actually responded to.

Anyway in 2015 I fell in love. I got serious about making my lil D&D game rigorous even as I detached from the idea of being successful with it for any larger audience out of discomfort with the shape of the online scene. I got into barbecue and I became close with my best friend and with all the regulars going out after Manhunt every week. I built myself a foundation for the aesthetic richness of life at a smaller scale.

I’ve been talking with a therapist this year about trying to be satisfied in the there without the trappings of professionalism. I’ve come back to being pretty interested in trying to paint again, and I do think that stuff is getting in the way. For the holidays I tried to step back from any expectations of production or even really participation. I missed one party I should have gone to (I love to celebrate a divorce), but I really allowed intimacy to take over my whole activity space in a wonderful way. Of course I can’t help myself, I end up with ideas like “what if I got really serious about rope” that lead me back to the professional in a way that I don’t know what to do with.

But life is good. I’m busy on the board of our housing co-op, I love my artist-run-centre job even though it pays like shit, and my lover is working in tech so we’re doing fine. I love the way the ocean looks in a movie, I love cooking. A stranger told me they were “obsessed” with my dancing at the club last month. I’m sending out an invite to my quarterly salon this month.

This week I had a dream about hand-binding books of artist writing, so I thought I should post on my blog.

April 21, 2024: April Morning, Jonathan Wells

April Morning Jonathan Wells You are living the life you wanted as if you'd known what that was but of course you didn't so you'd groped toward it feeling for what you couldn't imagine, what your hands couldn't tell you, for what that shape could be.

This Sunday the rain turns cold again and steady but the window is slightly open and there is the vaguest sense of bird song somewhere in the gaps between the buildings because it's spring the calendar says and the room where you are reading is empty yet full of what loves you and this is the day that you were born.
