The Penguin Season 1: Episode 4

[notrandtumblin]

[banditomojado]

Long ass post about The Penguin on Max and specifically Sofia Falcone. SPOILERS AHEAD!!!

I can't continue posting about The Penguin without bringing up Cristin Milioti's INSTANTLY ICONIC take on Sofia Falcone. Her arc perfectly mirrors Oz's in almost every way. Oz is introduced as a sympathetic and charming, albeit violent gangster, and as the show progresses, we see just how twisted, sick, and irredeemably evil he truly is. Whereas Sofia is introduced as a twisted and unstable serial killer fresh out of Arkham, and there is an ever-present tension and sense of danger whenever she shares a scene with Oz in the first few episodes. But unlike Oz slowly revealing himself to be a true monster, the more we see of Sofia, the more we begin to empathize with HER and FEEL HER PAIN and actually root for her success.

Her arc is tragic but her violence is cathartic. She doesn't deserve any of the horrible things that have happened and continue to happen to her. The writing is simply superb, always teasing an eventual true descent into evil like Oz, but she NEVER crosses that line despite all the motivation to do so. Plus, on a purely aesthetic level, she OWNS almost every scene she's in, and Milioti is masterful at reflecting the inner turmoil, rage, and trauma this character goes through. Also huge shout out to the wardrobe department for making almost all of her looks fucking STUNNING.

Laura LeFranc pulls off the ultimate trick in drawing us in with Oz's undeniable charm while also forcing us to be wary of Sofia, so by the time the last few scenes in the final episode play out, YOU feel just as BETRAYED, GUTTED, and HORRIFIED as poor Vic in his final moments when you realize Oz truly had you fooled. I was almost in literal tears when Sofia took one last deep exhale in what she thought was gonna be her final breath and escape from the horrors, only to have Oz shatter that dream as well by having her arrested and ONCE AGAIN framed. I was FUCKING furious, I can't remember the last time I felt such passionate rage for a character I started out rooting for. Masterful writing, masterful performances, a true masterclass in almost every way. My ONLY wish now is to see her and Zoë Kravitz's Selina team up and bring that monster down, like Batman can help if he wants but he would honestly just get in the way of true justice with his whole "no killing" buzz kill rule. So fuck it, give me Selina Kyle and Sofia motherfucking GIGANTE teaming up to rain literal hell upon anything The Penguin touches!

'The Penguin': Sofia Falcone Finally Becomes The Iconic Gotham City Villain She's Meant To Be

Sofia Falcone takes on her iconic villain identity from DC Comics as Sofia Gigante in the latest episode of The Penguin.

It’s always exciting to watch a villain origin story. And while it would make sense to think we’re watching one for Oswald Cobb (Colin Farrell) on a show called The Penguin — which mind you, we are — this week’s episode gave us another iconic Gotham City villain. Spoilers past this point, but in this week’s “Homecoming,” Sofia Falcone (Cristin Milioti) becomes Sofia Gigante. Here’s how things go…

[tilbageidanmark]

Movies I watched this Week #107 (Year 3 / Week 3):

It looked like Cataz was disappearing from the internet’s faceless face, so I started using Squeezebox, a new scraper as a replacement. So far it looks clean. 

🍿

Maggie Cheung in 1996 X 2:

🍿 Comrades, Almost a love story, a magical, under-rated romantic story about yearning from Hong Kong with Maggie Cheung. Before she became magnificently glamorous, she was so peachy, seeing her makes me cry. So sweet that I wanted to watch it very slowly and took frequent stops all evening to savor it longer. The first half of two people trying not to fall in love was comparable to ‘In the mood for love’ which came four years later, but unfortunately Leon Lai was no match to the iconic Tony Leung and the story got sappier during the second half. 7/10.

Now I’m listening to Teresa Young singing Tian Mi Mi...

🍿 Irma Vep, my 5th by Olivier Assayas, from the short period when Maggie Cheung was his wife, the lucky bastard. She plays a fictional version of herself, as “Maggie Cheung, a Chinese actress” who’s acting in a French movie in Paris. It’s a blatant showcase of her radiant cat-woman face, but the story is impressionistic, unfocused and confused ‘Filming of a film’ process, reminiscent of Truffault’s much better ‘Day for night’, down to the casting of Jean-Pierre Léaud. 4/10.

With my favorite Ali Farka Touré’s Soukora on the soundtrack!

🍿

I loved Cristin Milioti as Sarah Wilder in ‘Palm Spring’ so much that I saw it about 10 times. So as soon as I heard that she stars in The Resort, a new TV-series, created by Andy Siara who was the writer for ‘Palm Spring’, I dropped everything to binge on its 8 episodes.

It started unexpectedly well with a couple who arrive at a Yucatan resort to celebrate their 10th anniversary. But the wife is obviously unhappy, and their relationship is missing something serious. Then she finds an old phone in the jungle, and unspools a mystery of two teens who disappeared there 15 years before. The couple start detectiving, but are soon being pulled into a complex metaphysical plot of ‘Time Portals’ and ‘Suspended conscientious’ and ‘Memory Leakage’ and what have you.

I wanted to like it, but every episode became stupider and more outrageous than the previous one. I did love though the many times when Cristin Milioti repeats the exact same speech intonations and voice mannerism from ‘Palm Spring’. 5/10.  

🍿

3 Polish masterpieces, 2 with the extraordinary Joanna Kulig:

🍿 “..[My father] mistook me for my mother, so I used a knife to show him the difference...”

It’s been a year and a half since I discovered Cold war, Paweł Pawlikowski’s devastating masterpiece, and this is the first time that I’ve watched it since. I’m surprised to realize that it’s so much shorter (88 minutes), simpler and straight-forward. I remembered it as intricate, over-layered and complex. But the tragically-restrained love story is still sublime, breathtakingly melancholic and epic, one of the most lyrical romances I’ve ever seen.

How Zula sings ‘Two hearts, four eyes’ differently each time. 10/10.

🍿 In the controversial Clegy, Joanna Kulig plays a completely different character, that of a pregnant housekeeper with no agency. The story is about the utter debasement of the Catholic church, as exemplified by three priest friends. God’s servants are sinners and criminals, hypocritical, potty-mouth, abusive, transgressive alcoholics. And this is before they get into the systematic child-abuse story that engulfs all ranks, from the cynically corrupt Bishop to the local country priest. Shocking, angry, and unforgiving. 9/10. 🍿 Jerzy Skolimowski’s latest, EO, the story of a lowly donkey’s dreams and adventures. Not as spiritual as Bresson’s ‘Au Hasard Balthazar’, it’s still deeply humane. Films about sufferings, whether people or animals, whether abused or just neglected, are tough to sit through. But not this one: It’s simple but not obvious, full of surprises and heart. The protagonist was played by 6 different real-life donkeys.

These 3 were my best film events of the week!

🍿

Jonathan Mehring’s short Walls Cannot Keep Us From Flying follows two young Palestinians who have found freedom in skateboarding while surrounded by walls & barbed wire and facing harassment from the fascist Israeli occupation as well as their own communities. Please don’t get me started...

🍿

Bad words, Jason Bateman’s politically-incorrect directorial debut. A black comedy about a 40-year-old unsympathetic asshole with photographic memory who discovers a legal loophole in the rules of the National Spelling Bee, so they have no choice but allowing him to participate in it. 4/10.

🍿  

7 more marijuana films (none of which I saw before):

🍿 It started innocently enough with a random pick, Tim Blake Nelson’s dark & funny Leaves of grass (one of the four feature films he had written and directed). Ivy League professor Edward Norton gets tricked into going back to Tulsa, Oklahoma by his twin brother the pot farmer, and gets tangled in his brother’s scheme to take down a Jewish drug lord. It starts with a fake lecture about the philosophy of Socrates and, like a Coen Brother plot, changes its tone to black comedy, to deadly action, to dreamy romance and other surprises. Susan Sarandon plays again the estranged pothead mom (like she did in ‘Ride the eagle’). 6/10.  

🍿 Reefer Madness (Originally called ‘Tell your children’) the maniacal cult classic, a piece of anti-marihuana propaganda of North Korean magnitude. “Women cry for it - Man die for it!”. The beginning of the century-long racist “War on drugs”. What a horrible, destructive misdirection that cost so much since. Psychedelically-colorized.

🍿 Ice Cube’s hood masterpiece, Friday about two friends sitting on the front porch in South Central, getting stoned and talking shit. Unabashedly funny. “Bye, Felicia”. 7/10.

🍿 “That is where corn chips come from!”

Smiley Face, my first by Gregg Araki. An unusual stoner comedy, because it’s about a spaced out female pothead. She is such an uninhibited toker, that the story turns unbearably paranoiac, as she stumbles from one train rack to another, until the hilarious last 10 minutes. 4/10.

🍿 The X-rated Paddington, Seth MacFarlane’s directional debut Ted. A cute and often funny fairy tale about a friendship between two lazy slackers, one a grown up slacker and one a party-hardy, raunchy pothead/alcoholic teddy bear. Not exactly Disney stuff. With Norah Jones as the bear’s old lover, and Giovanni Ribisi in his scariest role. (Photo Above). 7/10.

🍿 Amy Heckerling’s Fast Times at Ridgemont High, the ‘classic’ coming of age in Southern California mall life. I always thought it was a about the always-stoned Jeff Spicoli surfer dude, but actually it was about high-school kids searching for love and sex. Many early roles for young actors who later went to bigger (and better) things, Nicolas Cage, Eric Stoltz, Forest Whitaker, Sean Penn, Jennifer Jason Leigh. 3/10.

🍿 And finally, not a movie, but the full recording of The Marijuana-logues (sound only) from their 2004 show. I saw Doug Benson and friends performing it life at a comedy club in Rancho Cucamonga, and loved it.

High-ku’s like: “My girlfriend thinks that I smoke too much pot. I, on the other hand, don’t think I smoke enough pot, because if I did, I’d be finished. And I’m not. Look, we all have our vices: I like to smoke a little weed; she likes to feed the baby. Different strokes for different folks”...

🍿

Ahmad rolled us a really strong joint, then he rolled his first sushi ever, and then we stone-watched the epic Goodfellas again. Deservedly and still one of the finest American movies of all time, and the most recent of the BBC top 20. It’s a rich, frenzy saga, with exhilarating direction, editing, cinematography, soundtrack and depth.

Also a terrific cast that includes bits by Billy Batts’ Frank Vincent, Samuel L. Jackson as Stacks Edwards, Michael Imperioli as ‘Spider’, Mike Starr, Illeana Douglas, Isiah Whitlock Jr., Kevin Corrigan, Etc. Also, Scorsese’s real dad & mom (and her famous painting of John Weaving and his two river dogs). 9/10

.🍿

Un-related, Jefferson Airplane’s Triad from their ‘Crown of Creation’, an old favorite. I just learned that David Crosby “gave it to them”. RIP, David Crosby.

🍿  

Throw-back to the art project:

Jefferson Airplane Adora.
