ENCOUNTER (2021) Grade: C-

I had an intriguing start, the 2nd act wasn't all that interesting after the 1st plot twist. Ending didn't save it. Good acting. #RizAhmed is a talent.

Beast (2017)

It’s really a shame that the film wasn’t able to deliver on what it suggested to be setting up in the trio of characters between the brow-beaten Moll, her domineering mother, and the strange new figure of Pascal. Hillary is vicious and manipulative toward her daughter, blowing hot and cold to keep Moll under her thumb. In the opening, Hillary decides to announce another, more favored daughter’s pregnancy at Moll’s birthday party, and later infantilizes her by demanding to know if she knows right from wrong and humiliates her in front of her family before turning on a dime and saying that they should all be friends. This sort of psychological torture creates a figure primed for any sort of opportunity for escape or rebellion. Pascal is introduced scaring off someone making untoward gestures at Moll by firing a gun into the air. He’s a coarse presence, both in the face of the “polite society” tax-dodging British occupants of Jersey due to his lower class status, and in his risky behaviors. But is he risky or dangerous? It’s one thing to drive too fast or encourage someone to follow them along up a cliff for a romantic kiss, and another to be a killer. Is Pascal grooming Moll, or is he just a bit of a roughneck? The film veers sharply off course, ironically as it delves into Moll’s interiority. She has a spotty background herself which comes to light, having attacked a classmate out of self-defense or revenge, she states both. Her character shifts dramatically from a put-upon victim seeking an escape to a desperately selfish target for ire by the community, behaving ever more erratically. For a stretch this becomes my least favorite subgenre, the tar-and-feathers community bullying thriller such as Kristoffer Borgli’s Dream Scenario or Thomas Vinterberg’s Jagten. These situations are always focused on everyone behaving like complete shitheels, angry mob and victim/target alike. It’s a lazy way to put viewers through an emotional wringer. Once that’s dispensed of, we enter… Moll’s villain era? This is at best a woefully misguided handling of the nature vs nurture debate, with our waif suddenly wanting to become Bonnie and Clyde or something, and then a non-answer as to whether it’s Pascal or the random Portuguese dude as the killer. So either xenophobia or poor understanding of mental health wins. Cool!

Hillary says something super controlling and manipulative.

Today in the Department of Before They Were Star Trek Stars, Majel Barrett guest stars in "Three Brides for Hoss," episode 22 of the seventh season of Bonanza (original air date February 20, 1966). Barrett plays Annie Slocum, the first of three mail-order brides who show up at the Ponderosa claiming to be engaged to Hoss Cartwright. They were really sent for by Hoss's friend, a widower who wants a mother for his high-strung daughter. Hijnks ensue, but in the end Annie bonds with the daughter and decides to marry the widower. The other two brides marry Annie's backwoods brothers, and the Cartwrights' bachelorhood survives another week.

& Juliet 11/3/24 Notes

- first time seeing the new cast! also khailah!juliet, daniel!shakespeare, nicky!richard, ava!rosaline, romy!lady cap, and alejandro!henry. plus first time seeing michael!may and makai!francois on their principal contracts

- angelique hides behind the bed before teenage dream like she does on the tour

- michael said “no!” in response to “they were all romeo’s exes!” the same way nick does

- the map was not unfolded when charli did her dance with it

- costume stuff! so we sort of still have SMTM costumes? ava and joomin still had their full costumes for it. ava also had all her costumes in general but joomin had all except a different version of the SUBG costume which was his normal SUBG floral shirt with the yellow vest over top of it. romy and reese seemed to be the only people of the new cast to get full costume changes for everything. and there are full blow costumes for everyone.

- jhailyn gets lifted during blow instead of elsa or cassie

- alison messed up the lyric “let the crazy out” but I don’t remember what she said instead

- unfortunately the benvolio and romeo chest bump has been reduced to a fat joke with elsa and liam

- liam!romeo is a mix of tom francis, jordan luke gage, and michael canu. so straight + more of a classic rock voice + incredibly stupid and incredibly in love with juliet

- liam also allowed himself to stim onstage multiple times as romeo

- liam’s romeo vocals are insane

- makai did a riff on the “oh yeah!” in confident and then khailah did one right after him

- the synth patch was NOT put on correctly at the beginning of IWITW so it was just regular piano and everyone was very confused

- there was a moment near the beginning of IML when liam put his arms out like he was jesus which honestly was hilarious considering he also rose from the dead

- after “the carriage driver told us everything” “you’re welcome” there’s an added anne line of “william!”

- the height difference between khailah and liam is incredible. he was like 2 steps down from her on the stairs and still a head taller.

- reese as lord capulet is so extra and I cannot wait to see him and najah together because I just know they’re gonna match each other’s energy so well

- charmion and benvolio are back in the SUBG couples dance :(
