Better Man (15): From Hell to Salvation via the Battle of Knebworth Field.

One Mann's Movies FIlm Review of "Better Man". A really dynamic and entertaining biopic of Robbie Williams. 4/5.

A One Mann’s Movies review of “Better Man” (2024). Releasing films on Boxing Day is all very well. But the period between Christmas and New Year is for family time in my book (plus, of course, frantically trying to put my end of the year lists/videos together!) So, I never tend to see films until the New Year, which means I’m behind on my reviewing before I start! Case in point, “Better Man” –…

Los Robles Ave. in Pasadena, California.

The amount of people that act like Hyde is the better man even though he cheated twice, makes me wanna ship Jackie x Kelso out of spite.

Behind-the-scenes

Trailers

A closeted trans girl moves to Gotham City to make it big as a comedian by joining the cast of UCB Live – a government-sanctioned late night sketch show in a world where comedy has been outlawed. As mainstream success eludes our heroine, leading her to unite with a ragtag team of rejects, misfits, and a certain love interest named Mister J, "Joker the Harlequin" is born again as a confident (and psychotic) joker on a collision course with the city’s fascist caped crusader. Vats of feminizing chemicals, sexy cartoon interludes, scarecrow psychiatrists, CGI Lorne Michaels, and psychedelic gender dysphoria all play supporting roles.

Pre-order The People's Joker.

“there are always problems in the J/K relationship, but that's a rant for another time”

Can today be the day that rant comes? I feel like talking to you today!

Where do I even begin?

There's really no denying how comical Jackie and Kelso are together. Their dynamic felt funny and realistic for two popular/good-looking teenagers in high school, and only high school. You know they would never make it past that, and that's the way it should have been. Because the longer they stay together, the more they keep going in circles.

Again and again it's the same thing. They gush at how hot they are, how great they look together, how much they "love" each other. He is an unfaithful lecher. She demands he be something he isn't and will never be, the type of girl to try and change a shitty man. He is an immature man-child and remains that way for the entirety of the series (being a father changed absolutely nothing, even though it should have, it didn't). With him, she is insecure, incredibly bossy, rude, and looks down on him. She wants him to be a man, desperate to make him her ideal man, but he just isn't. But he is beautiful, and she can't let go of that. This was one of her (stupidest) dilemmas when trying to choose between him and Hyde. She tells Donna, "Michael is so beautiful. And you spend a lot more time looking at someone than you do talking to them." My god.

So they fight, break up, fall back in "love", then break up. Rinse and repeat. The poor excuse of a spin-off tells us that this has not changed. Jackie is essentially a woman-child the same as how Kelso remains a man-child. It is all superficial and terrible, something the spin-off refuses to acknowledge because of reasons that don't at all matter to canon. They are the same miserable people they were decades ago.

Kelso "loves" Jackie so much that his eyes never stop roaming around other women. He begins his "love" by flirting with and kissing Pam Macy behind the gym. He is deeply sorry only once he is caught. He continues his "love" for her by having sex with Eric's sister, then eventually having sex with seemingly every woman in Point Place who happens to blink his way. He does this while he is with Jackie and while he is trying to "win" her back from Hyde. He "loves" her by betraying her trust constantly and throwing a hissy fit when she's finally had enough of it. He whines when she moves on, even though he runs off like a coward to sleep with all of California. He gives Hyde a hard time over a hurt ego, even though he has never been a respectable boyfriend to Jackie.

Meanwhile, Jackie for the first half of the original show wants to believe that he can change. He's got the looks, and the charm, and if he is able to land a good job and support her, she believes they will be set for life. She pictures a future with him that is only a fantasy. When they are apart, she idealizes him. But once she is within his vicinity again, reality hits. In this relationship, she constantly comes off as vain, annoyed, and unsupportive, especially when he began his modeling job, something she felt entitled to. She also seems to care more about her money and status than she ever did about him as a person. She doesn't respect him and dismisses his feelings. He once tries to communicate this to her, but she tells him it is the stupidest thing she's ever heard. He is a fool, yes, but the way she shot that back like it was a joke would hurt anyone. She cares more about herself than she does for Kelso. With Kelso, only what she wants matters.

It is a relationship that is doomed to either fail or be miserable forever. After over a decade since the show ended, the writers decided on the latter, erased any and all character development (primarily Jackie's, which they've already destroyed once with season 8), and attempted to glue the pieces of waste together to resemble whatever the characters once were, essentially reviving something that should have stayed buried in the landfill.

#OTD in 1867 – The ‘Manchester Martyrs’ are hanged in Manchester, England: Fenians, Michael Larkin, William Philip Allen, and Michael O’Brien.

On 18 September 1867 about fifty Irish Fenians, led by William Allen, attacked a prison van guarded by a large number of unarmed police at Hyde Road in Manchester, England. Their aim was to release two important Fenian prisoners, Thomas J. Kelly and Timothy Deasy. In the course of freeing the men, an unarmed police sergeant, Charles Brett, was shot dead, and 26 men were eventually tried for their…

I've always heard negative things about Doja from the tinychats, Sam Hyde shirt, and the J Cyrus of it all. Her music is fire tho. No lie. I like her music. I understand the mixed reactions. I saw a comment say this was Halsey 2.0 and I get it.

Oh jeeze sorry, I just looked it up I didn’t know she was this problematic.

Yeah I like her music too, When I saw they were together I just remember the whole Doja liking Joe thing and people making fun of her. I never really looked into her life and why people really disliked her. I totally understand why some people are mad. I never knew she supported a white supremacist! Doja got me out here rooting for her like a clown.

I’m not familiar with Halsey’s life too I need catch up. I just remember people mentioning that she lies a lot.

Usually I don’t look much into a celebrity unless I think they are cute. Literally followed a quincy brown Lipstickalley thread just because I thought he was cute on Star. From that thread I found out all the tea that made me side eye him. I know sad, I need to get with the times and keep up on the news.

I won't let Doja have you looking like a clown. As for Halsey, I've heard that too, but I don't know much. I use to listen to certain songs from the Badlands album when it first came out. I know she's with the guy from Victorious, she's a mom, her dating life is a bit questionable. So, I guess I know some stuff.

I remember a coworker use to have Halsey playing during work and I tuned her out. I'd just put on my headphones and listen to other songs. I can't recall what album it was from. Graveyard was good tho. That I did like.

I don't know anything about Quincy. Never watched Star. I see he's associated with a certain someone...

I will say this

He's no Michael Ealy

or Shemar Moore

Or Morris Chestnut

I could go on, but Morris is distracting me rn
