I'm glad we got Olivia Benson as we know her.

But I'm bummed that Cynthia doesn't stay. She's just so adorable.

I watched the 1990 American science fiction horror Spontaneous Combustion. It was 90s as and I really liked it! Of course Brad Dourif was great!

Saw Wicked Movie Part One with my mama so here’s The Definitive Verdict:

I had a great time. I love musicals so much. Musicals and action movies make me feel the same kind of euphoria (like I should crash my car on the drive home from the theater). Cynthia Erivo was really excellent. Her rendition of Defying Gravity brought the house down despite the editing’s best efforts to undercut the momentum every other minute. Ariana gave a good comedic performance. The sets were beautiful. 

I kept being told it looks better in a theater than it does in clips but it does not. The constant back lighting was genuinely distracting and made it difficult to see the action at times. The grey sheen was actively fighting how beautiful the production design was. I think we should throw Tom Hooper in The Contraption for popularizing the whole “singing live in a movie” schtick. It’s not that anyone was bad, just that at times actors were more focused on singing than on acting which is fine for a stage musical but not for a movie. 

I wish it was one movie. You could absolutely feel the bloat at times and it would have benefits from them being forced to cut bits to fit both acts in 3ish hours. Plus, unless they make some major changes from the musical, Part 2 will really suffer from a lack of any of the highs Act 1 reaches.

would you have the time/energy/interest to post a review of the wicked movie? i would be very interested to hear your thoughts! i wasn't thinking i wanted to see it but a lot of people are gushing about it now. . .so im open to being persuaded

yes absolutely!!!

this got long. take a shot every time i say musical

ok the first thing you need to know is i hate movie adaptations of musicals as a concept. i think a piece of media is created within a medium for a reason, and there have been so few occasions where adapting it into a different medium has not only been a good idea but also had some sort of value to add to the art itself. and with musicals it's more evident to me than with anything else, because to me an essential part of any musical is some fucking whimsy. musicals are at least somewhat camp, by virtue of being musicals. and with stuff like the les mis musical—which is very serious in every way except the fact that it is a musical—you can't really adapt it into a movie without either making it seem ridiculous or stripping it off of it's fucking whimsy. aaaand movie directors simply don't seem to get that musicals are the way they are because they're *supposed* to be that way, so the result is usually a movie that feels like it's ashamed of being a musical. the les mis musical is a musical because it *wants* to he a musical, otherwise it would have been something else. and tom hooper my bestie tom hooper. you could have just made a movie adaptation of the book.

ANYWAY. bringing us back to wicked, i think it's so rare to see a movie adaptation of a musical that doesn't seem to want to distract you from the fact that it's a musical. that doesn't seem like it's ashamed of it. that *loves* being a musical.

(in the heights is a good example, but they for some reason felt the need to change the entire plot. chicago is another good one imo)

wicked is THAT. it feels like it was created by people who genuinely love musical theater, and who genuinely love wicked. (and the wizard of oz, and cinema as a medium, and music as a medium). wicked has a heart. almost no movies have hearts nowadays. it leans into being a musical, it leans into being a movie musical, it leans into being an adaptation, and has so much love and respect for every piece of art it builds on. it changes almost nothing about the musical, because it knows that's not its place; it exists to bring this piece that already exists into a new medium, and to examine what that new medium can add to it in a meaningful way.

which is why, as far as i could tell, what makes the movie so much longer than the play is simply the introduction of cinema into the existing material. close ups, interesting angles, establishing shots—things you can do because you're making a movie, rather than meaningless attempts to add material to an already existing narrative. the only new song the film introduces is an addition they wrote into an existing song, and it's not there under the pretense of "adding" anything—it's there as a nod to the original play and a fun moment for the audience.

the acting is good. the singing is mostly good, and i can forgive michelle yeoh because she's a goddess. people say the casting was perfect, and i agree to an extent, but where i think this movie truly excels is the directing. ariana was great, but what made her so great imo is how *glinda* she was, and i think that credit goes to the director. she has clearly done her research on this character, but so has jon m. chu and that is *noticeable*. cynthia erivo is perfection i have nothing to say.

to put it simply, jon m. chu put his whole pussy into wicked. he understood the assignment, and he executed it nearly perfectly. and i do have more to say but i don't want this to get too long and spoilery so i'll leave it at that.

wicked is good because it feels like everyone who made it loves musical theater, and more importantly, they love wicked. go see it

So, here's the big difference between the film cast of Wicked singing live and the film cast of Les Mis singing live.

Tom Hooper was a pretentious asshole who encouraged horrific method acting practices for the sake of "authenticity". Not letting his actors drink water, making them do multiple takes of these very difficult songs many times in a row. Which not only resulted in the singing quality sounding bad (with very VERY few exceptions...) but in cases like Anne Hathaway, caused serious health problems.

If Jon M. Chu was doing that shit... there is no way Cynthia or Ariana would keep quiet about that. Jon has respect for his actors and knows how musical films are supposed to work.

Wicked has passion. Les Mis had exhaustion.

"But that's the point of Les Mis-" NO IT IS NOT! Capturing raw, beautiful emotion is not the same thing as torturing your actors for the sake of 'being realistic'. Mate, you burned that 'realism' bridge the second you included the non-stop singing!

A homicide, or a bad B-movie? Not exactly what you would call an unknown horror comedy, but there is the distinct feeling that it should be better known. As its cult fan base will attest, this is blast of a movie, a homage to the “B” schlockers of lore. Directed by Fred Dekker, the premise sees some alien beings eject a flask of alien slugs down to earth, which lands at a fraternity campus, something which cause mayhem some years later when a frozen body is disturbed at the medical lab and the slugs are unleashed. Cue infestation that turns people into zombies! The pic plays up to the clichés of fraternity based movies, with nerds and nudity on tap, all smothered in a gooey horror comedy sauce. One-liners are ripe, the characterisations also, the latter of which fronted by a glorious Tom Atkins as a hard drinking hard – boiled detective with issues and quips ready to be poured out. It’s not genius film making, but given the low budget it deserves its cult status, because it never pauses for breath and it’s very aware of what it wants to be – and crucially who its target audience is. 7/10 Dsnake1: Night of the Creeps is a fantastic movie to watch in many different situations: with friends, at a sleepover, in the middle of the night, in the middle of the day, and so many more. It’s an easy to watch flick, and it contains the right balance of horror elements, gore, campiness, humor, and absurdity to make each viewing as enjoyable as the last. It’s got a touch of body-stealing aliens, a touch of zombies, a touch of traditional serial killer, all mixed with all the fun that can come fro...

Coroner's inquest underway into 2020 death inside Saint John psychiatric unit

A coroner’s inquest is underway examining the circumstances of a patient who died by suicide two years ago inside the Saint John Regional Hospital’s psychiatric unit.

Hillary Hooper died on Dec. 9, 2020, a week after a suicide attempt by hanging in the psychiatric unit on Dec. 2.

It happened nearly a month after Hooper was first admitted to Saint John Regional Hospital, following a suicide attempt.

Coroner Emily Caissy is presiding over the inquest, which heard testimony on its first day about Hooper’s mental health in the weeks and days before her death.

When Hooper arrived at Saint John Regional Hospital on Nov. 13, 2020, she was considered “high priority” based on her mental-health history and a meeting earlier that day with a social worker.

Lauren Oulton, a mental health nurse who cared for Hooper in the hospital that evening, said Hooper voluntarily admitted herself for a 72-hour emergency assessment.

Dr. Samir Talebb, a psychiatrist at Saint John Regional Hospital, saw Hooper later that night and diagnosed her as having borderline personality disorder requiring immediate inpatient hospitalization.

Monday’s testimony also focused on procedures to monitor patients within 4D North, the Saint John Regional Hospital’s psychiatric wing. Patients are checked on a frequency of every 15 minutes, 30 minutes, or one hour, based on clinical assessments.

Michael Taylor, the unit’s nurse manager in late 2020, said Hooper was set to be released from 4D North shortly, and that her 15-minute medical check had been changed to a frequency of every hour.

Cynthia Moore, a registered nurse who cared for Hooper on Dec. 9, said the two had a 45-minute conversation that morning.

Moore said Hooper was anxious about the effect sleeping pills were having on her dreams, and was also concerned about her assignment of new mental-health staff. Moore said the conversation ended on a calm and positive note.

“I didn’t feel like I was leaving someone who wasn’t safe to leave,” said Moore.

Hooper’s mother, Patty Borthwick, was in court on Monday and had a picture of her daughter and a box of her ashes nearby. Borthwick told reporters she’d wait until later to share her thoughts on the inquiry.

A jury of five people was selected Monday morning to hear evidence and testimony about the circumstances around Hooper’s death. The panel will have the ability to make recommendations to prevent similar incidents, after hearing all the evidence.

The inquiry will continue on Tuesday.
