[ben-the-hyena]

Since I feel like I'm getting back into the Le Roman de Renart fandom (in which I sadly am the only member since whenever I post about it I have 0 note) I remembered that Erika Strobel had sent me before her passing, among these Blazing Dragons characters charts and episodes scripts files I had posted 5 years ago, that beautiful brochure they had used to promote the movie too, using unreleased scenes or stills that are not seen in the movie. I had already loved it back then, but I was more focused on the BD content back then and in 5 years I forgot. I also realized I never showed you guys (Erika was always ok with me showing what she sent me, she knew how active I am in fandoms. Damn I miss her...). So there you go !

I always loved these 2D backgrounds in that movie, the CGI of that movie badly aged at some point but the 2D texture it had really added to its charm

God damn this shot is so epic, it makes it look like an epic serious movie, and the hanging noose does add a chill !

Good reference for Maupertuis

The cast now ! So good to see them in poses and expressions never seen before ! Hersent had green eyes back then instead of brown, something they forgot to fix in her last scene in the movie since they are still green (HURRICANE OF LOVE... *SHUDDERS*). Ysengrin as usual a domestic abuse victim, too. Funny to see his scar was on the wrong eye back then, unless was it just a flipped picture ? Also is it me, the angle or Bernard's eyeliner and eyeshadow are not as full as in the final result ?

I may not like at all all the humor around Rufus, this pic is so sweet. A family selfie. It implies he was included in the fox family for good, which makes him go from "familyless after years of thinking his family was dead" to 2 families now. I also notice Hermeline didn't have her beauty spot yet and Renart during the whole brochure doesn't habe his earring

Scenes that never made it to the movie except the top right one. I am really curious about the context behind these 2 pics of Renart running and the one with Hersent. In the movie there is that whole scene where she basically tries to molest Renart, but here green-eyed Hersent seems angry at him and I wonder what was originally planned then (ALSO NO RENART DON'T STARE)

More scenes, this time and the only one i don't recognize is the one with Ysengrin and Rufus. Curious how it looked like originally they were meant to meet in the icy lake scene so fairly early

Beautiful reference of the castle from afar. I was hoping we would have a real name for the kingdom but nope lol

A beautiful-looking shot of a father-daughter moment. Renart and Nicolette's relationship is adorable already in the movie, but here it would habe been emotional I sense it

And again these photoshop paintings for backgrounds that make so nostalgic

Really that movie is technically very very flawed but it is sooo nostalgic to me omg this is a real treasure to my eyes especially since what were the chances Erika worked on that one too ?

CARTELERA

EL CÍRCULO The Circle

*PAÍS: Estados Unidos *GÉNERO: Drama / Ciencia Ficción *CLASIFICACIÓN: B​ *DIRECTOR: James Ponsoldt *ELENCO: Tom Hanks, Emma Watson, John Boyega

Mae Holland ha sido contratada para trabajar en el Círculo, la empresa de internet más prestigiosa del mundo. A través de un moderno sistema operativo, el Círculo une las direcciones de email, perfiles en las redes sociales, operaciones bancarias y contraseñas de todos los usuarios. Mae está entusiasmada con la modernidad que muestra la compañía y se siente entusiasmada a pesar de que se aleje de su familia al pasar más tiempo en las fiestas y actividades deportivas que se celebran dentro de la oficina. Lo que comienza como un viaje hacia el interior del desarrollo tecnológico, pronto se convierte en un relato que plantea unas cuestiones como pueden ser la memoria, la privacidad, los límites del conocimiento humano o la democracia. La película es una adaptación de una novela homónima escrita por David Eggers. Está dirigida por James Ponsoldt (“Aquí y ahora”). A pesar de lo interesante del guión, la película resulta muy fría y los diálogos resultan muy pobres. Esto provoca que, conforme el filme avanza, se vuelva sosa, poco entretenida y pretenciosa.

BABY: EL APRENDIZ DEL CRIMEN Baby Driver

*PAÍS: Estados Unidos *GÉNERO: Acción *CLASIFICACIÓN: B *DIRECTOR: Edgar Wright *ELENCO: Ansel Elgort, Lily James, Kevin Spacey, Jamie Foxx

Baby es un joven conductor especialista en huidas, emplea la música como apoyo fundamental para ser el mejor al volante. Cuando conoce a la chica de sus sueños Baby ve la oportunidad de dejar su vida criminal y lograr una huida limpia. Pero después de ser coaccionado para trabajar a las órdenes de un mafioso, Baby debe afrontar que un asalto a mano armada salga mal y amenace su vida, su amor y su libertad. Una de las características del cine de Edgar Wright es el uso, a veces excesivo de la música. Esto por momentos da una sensación un poco caótica a la trama. Sin embargo la cinta resulta divertida y emocionante.

*ESTRENO: 10 de agosto *CALIFICACIÓN: Buena

EL CASO DE CRISTO The Case of Christ

*PAÍS: Estados Unidos *GÉNERO: Drama / Histórica / Religiosa *CLASIFICACIÓN: C *DIRECTOR: Jon Gunn *ELENCO: Erika Christensen, Faye Dunaway, Mike Vogel

Basada en la historia real de Lee Strobel, el reconocido y galardonado periodista del Chicago Tribune que usó su experiencia legal y periodística para desmitificar la nueva fe Cristiana de su esposa. En la investigación mas grande de su carrera, Lee se enfrenta cara a cara con resultados que podrían derrumbar la fe Cristiana o cambiar el rumbo de su vida. La película muestra una dirección muy correcta tanto en la trama como en las actuaciones. Sin embargo, carece de ciertos puntos que logren emocionar o conmover al espectador como debería de ser en una película basada en puntos sensibles para el público como lo es la religión. Aún así, tiene ciertos momentos que invitan a la reflexión, por lo que cumple parcialmente con su cometido.

*ESTRENO: 10 de agosto *CALIFICACIÓN: Buena

NETFLIX

THE WALKING DEAD (Temporada 6)

*PAÍS: Estados Unidos *GÉNERO: Ciencia Ficción *CLASIFICACIÓN: B *ELENCO: Andrew Lincoln, Norman Reedus, Steven Yeun

Después de 7 años al aire, continua el éxito de esta serie de televisión que se ha convertido ya en un clásico y un punto de referencia de la reciente “zombiemanía” que invade a la televisión. En esta temporada, el grupo no cesa de tener problemas con los residentes de Alexandría. Sin embargo, una amenaza humana llamada "Los Lobos" invaden la comunidad de Alexandría y a consecuencia de este acontecimiento una horda caminante es atraída a la comunidad. Resulta interesante que la fórmula de la serie aún funcione, aunque algunos “parches” en la trama entorpecen el desarrollo de algunos personajes. Algunos críticos han declarado que la historia de la serie ya ha perdido su credibilidad.

*ESTRENO: 14 de agosto *CALIFICACIÓN: Regular

EXTRA CLÁSICOS DEL CINE

LOS PÁJAROS

The Birds

*PAÍS: Estados Unidos *GÉNERO: Terror *CLASIFICACIÓN: B *DIRECTOR: Alfred Hitchcock *ELENCO: Tippi Hedren, Rod Taylor, Jessica Tandy

Basada en una novela corta de Daphne Du Maurier, ligeramente inspirada en hechos reales ocurridos en 1951. La cinta se desarrolla en Bodega Bay, California. Una horda de misteriosos pájaros asesinos invade la ciudad sin una razón aparente causando caos y conmoción entre los habitantes del lugar. La fiereza y brutalidad de las aves es tal, que lleva a los habitantes de la ciudad a evacuar el área. Sin duda un clásico del cine de terror y  una de las películas más populares del “maestro del suspenso”, el gran Alfred Hitchcock. La cinta está llena de interesantes elementos que le dan un toque de singularidad con respecto a otros trabajos fílmicos del director. Uno de ellos es la falta de música incidental en el filme, con momentos de silencio que provocan inquietud en el espectador. Hitchcock nunca dio una explicación lógica sobre el comportamiento de las aves, a pesar de que a lo largo del tiempo muchos críticos y expertos han especulado. Un detalle curioso es que la cinta fue pensada originalmente para ser un episodio más del célebre programa “Alfred Hitchcock Presents”, pero al cineasta la idean le resultó tan buena y original que decidió convertirla en película.

*ESTRENO: 1963 *CALIFICACIÓN: Excelente

Journal Excerpt 4

17-25-2018

Just watched a movie called The Case For Christ. It’s based on a book of the same name by Lee Strobel. It was well acted, to the point that it felt authentic, at least as authentic as most movies or TV shows can be. What I mean to say is that when actors say their lines, they are reciting them from a script. As a consequence, this leaves very little room for “um” and “uh”. You don’t say those words when you’re reciting, but you do in real conversation. More movies should have this aspect of authenticity, as it would make the characters more relatable to the audience. As an exception, there is a scene near the end where Lee reveals his newfound belief to his wife, Leslie. They both kneel at the coffee table in their living room and Lee starts a prayer to God. While he pronounces his belief, he does stutter and say “um” a couple of times. That scene was the most heartfelt and authentic in the movie, not for the content of the lines, but for their humanly imperfect delivery. To be clear, this is not to say that I wouldn’t recommend the movie. Quite the opposite. Mike Vogel, who takes the role of Lee, organically depicts the journalist as a man who changes from a condescending and repudiative atheist to a quietly remorseful believer. With Leslie, played by Erika Christensen, we have an effective foil of warm empathy and emotive reasoning to Lee’s stubborn and coldly analytical nature.

Some other thoughts about the movie:

The part where Lee realizes that it was actually officer Koblinsky who caused the gunshot wound on himself with a pen gun comes at the beginning of the book, contrasting with how the same moment comes at the end of the movie. It was clearly meant to work as the start of a watershed moment for Lee’s transition from atheist to believer.

In the movie, which is inherently meant to portray a story, it would be more effective to have such a moment as part of Lee’s climactic realization. 

There wasn’t nearly as much attention devoted to Lee’s interviews with religious experts in the movie as there was in the book. 

Understandable. It would have been a boring movie if it were just a series of interviews. 

It’s more effective from a storytelling perspective to show the relationship between the members of the Strobel family and how it changes throughout the movie along with their religious beliefs. 

In this way, the emotions are touched far more easily.

[REDACTED]

And I realized then that words only capture the surface of our Being. Our language, as humans, does not have the capacity to accurately describe or depict existence as we perceive it. Words carry emotion to an extent, but they are puny compared to the emotion of experience, which is itself a key descriptor of existence. This also led me to question what existence even is. I know that it is incomprehensible in its entirety to the human brain, but it is what our senses make of the world that surrounds us. That much is true to us at least. Another thing I contemplated was the purity and intensity of emotion that I felt during [REDACTED], something that I haven’t felt in a long time. The feeling gave me a sense of true hope for the future. It also forced me to confront the fact that I’ve been subjecting myself to mindless entertainment for years. What I’ve been watching and scrolling over really isn’t conducive to a satisfying life. It’s all an ultimately useless distraction from the more pressing issues in life. It’s a big fucking fraud, but unfortunately a very profitable one at that.

A lot of arguments that I’ve seen, including the ones I had (in a somewhat civilized manner) with [REDACTED] and her boyfriend [REDACTED], consisted of statements that were just abstractions or oversimplifications of what are fundamental truths or ideas. That is, they were reductive to the entire meaning of the words that they sought to convey. Such a way of abstracting or simplifying follows the idea that words only capture the surface of our Being. We can’t compress experience and the feelings that come with them into words, and therein lies the descriptive weakness of words. Ironic, considering that words are our most frequently used way of describing anything.

It was in [REDACTED]’s bedroom that I experienced what could only be described as complete ego death. [REDACTED] was watching [REDACTED]’s cat, Baggy, who was lying on the bed. I had gone up the stairs just to do some walking when I saw Baggy through the bedroom door and got down on both knees to pet her from the foot of the bed. The entirety of my sense of existence was the sight of Baggy on the bed and the feeling of her fur under my hand as I pet her. She eventually stretched out, clearly enjoying the petting. It was at that point that I started petting Baggy with just my fingertips and not my entire hand. In this way, I could her bones in a very detailed manner. It was a surprising contrast between her cute, somewhat brushily defined appearance and the hardness and uncomfortable smallness of her bones. It dawned on me then that there is a cold mechanism of reality that runs the cuteness. From the way Baggy’s fur grows and forms to the chemicals that are released in my brain, the sensation of my then-narrowed existence was the result of physical processes.  

25-12-2018

Emotions are a greater descriptor of existence than words. Perhaps emotions and intuitions are how higher beings communicate to one another. But why are they greater than words?

Question about erika. Did she think (or make) any of the characters were canonically gay or did she think the ships were going against the source material?

Blaze was originally supposed to just be flamboyant but as she said when you ask a male voice actor to be "flamboyant" he immediatly sounds gay and effeminate so they kept the concept and all agreed Blaze was now gay then

How Would You Describe Flicker's Childhood?

According to Erika Strobel he grew in a poor uneducated peasant home. His (adoptive) parents were mean and careless only caring about surviving, not knowing how to read unlike him and only wanting prestige hence why they didn't mind him becoming a squire even if they didn't care about him. Whenever he would send letters (why ?) they would burn them for fire and never read (obviously). He has an (adopted) sister too not caring about him either, vulgar and superficial only thinking about herself. None of them missed him and had they appeared in the show (squatting in the castle now that he has prestige) he would have accepted them in only because they are family but AS SOON as finding out he was adopted he would kick them out himself and cut ties. I guess we know why he is so shy and unsure of himself, with emotional abuse all his childhood they must have given him to demean him
