young hercules - 1x42 the prize

[notmuchtoconceal]

Keep referring to Michael Fassbender as Fassbinder cause I haven't actually seen a lot of German movies, and he's my primary point of familiarity.

Love is Colder Than Death (Liebe ist kalter als der Tod) aside from being the greatest title ever attached to a film is so clearly a zero budget German Breathless knock-off held together by sheer passionate striving, I will always love it.

I fucking love humble beginnings like this, where an artist is following a clear lead, but doesn't need to be defined by it cause he ain't a bitch more concerned with artificially inflating or distinguishing himself as a form of covert self-sabotage. Boo hoo. Woe is me! I'm not good enough to be the author of my own life and work with people to create real stories which have a life in people's hearts and national markets.

God, when I was like 22, or 23 this fucking dude who was maybe 18 or 19 and dated a girl the same age as me when I was 14 (meaning he was 27 or 28 at the time) wanted me to finish the screenplay for a film he was making, since I was a writer and he evidently wasn't. Apparently he knew I had zero interest in ghostwriting his sub-Kevin Smith style dreck (Kevin Smith being uneven in that Joss Whedon-y way, where his craftsmanship can be middling, but his best works come from the heart, while his weakest rely on stylistic trademarks as advertised) so he had to sucker me in somehow. He told me, and I quote, that he wanted to see "my version" of his film.

He knew he was appealing to my narcissism to entice me, treating me like a collaborator, when in fact, he wanted to scrub every original idea I brought, keep the skelton of the story I filled out, and you know... maybe, maybe keep some of the jokes I added, if they weren't too gay. (Gay jokes in the mind of straight dudes are always deflections, dares, forms of impotent negotiation.)

So I held him to it. Being primarily a prose stylist with a novelistic sensibility, I was aware of certain structural differences between a novel and film plot, and I figured I'd just learn by doing. I figured writing a screenplay would help me improve my dialogue, a feature of my writing I wasn't confident in at the time. I had a month, and editing and polishing is often the most time-intensive part of writing, and I didn't really feel any of his characters, or understand the heart of his story, so I figured...

Yeah, just go for it. Write way too much. Take those unnecessary detours. See what the characters do. Experiment. Play around. Have fun. Once it's done, and you see where it went, you'll have the shape of the whole in mind. Once you have the essence of the characters, you can distill that and streamline their portrayal. Basically, it was the type of bloated but fascinating hybrid work you typically get when having novelists write screenplays, or see in writer/directors who operate more novelistically.

This dude fucking hated it.

Sure, it ended up being three hundred pages, but that wasn't the problem. The problem was I made it mine. The problem was I did exactly what he fucking said he wanted, but he was acting in bad faith, trying to manipulate me and it blew up in his face

I told this fucker "Yeah, I know it's long. Just give it a read. Got a pretty good idea of what needs to be cut, and can deffo get this under 120 pages."

Cause, uh... You know. It ain't fuckin hard to figure out what's necessary. I admit and take delight in dense, maximalist styles, though also -- I equally delight in an understated poetic minimalism. I really admire lean, athletic works with all the fat trimmed off. All I asked this fucker was to read the screenplay he asked me to write a single-time, then talk to me about it. Man to man. As a fellow artist.

That was too fuckin hard for him. He immediately got defensive and frightened and protective of the work he asked to make mine (as though his version somehow didn't still exist in the draft he sent me). He accused me of trying to steal his film from him, as he would exasperatingly whine "If we can get it down to time!" as though dragging a mouse cursor over redundant scenes I wrote to amuse myself and hitting delete were somehow an insurmountable labor. It was like ... you want to keep all the work I did, but you don't like any of the work I did?

Like, I figured we'd sit down in the same room at some point and discuss the changes, or our differing views of the characters, or the heart of the story, or uh... At least have an email correspondence.

Nope. Totally clammed up. Ass cemented shut.

Started to gradually exclude me more and more from the production, as if he now needed to reassert his sole personal vision after asking to see mine, while also feeling overwhelmed by the mess I lead him into it. He seemed to want to film without a complete screenplay, which would be a production nightmare, cause what if you rewrote a scene and then needed to refilm something? Like, usually you go into a lengthy cost-consumptive task like shooting a film with a firm foundation, but nah. Maybe I was expecting too much by asking him to read? I was experiencing the pure childlike joy of creation and excited to make a movie, but I guess I was just way too fucking intimidating for him.

At the time, I felt so spurned and neglected, nearly heartbroken. I didn't know where this was coming from. My assumption was he'd be able to tell what was and wasn't relevant to his version of the story, but I was also likely expecting too much by thinking he was interested in story. Directing and starring in a movie was apparently a pure power fantasy with the aim to capitalize on known cultural fixtures to receive attention from an established ego mass because his story didn't have any heart, and he didn't have a soul. He didn't want to finish the movie because he didn't want to be recognized, being nothing, so he found a convenient way to make me an insurmountable obstacle hampering him from his hopeless dreams.

I know what I like, and I love what I do. I'm still overjoyed to create, and I'd like to create more with people, but tiny dicks and big egos seem to get in the way, many it seems not wanting to create for the right reasons, they themselves being unmade.

Anyhoo, you can clearly see how the follow-up in this collection, Katzelmacher connects to Fassbinder's theatrical roots, it very much having the feel of a filmed stage play, with minimal character and camera movement, but plenty of dialogue. I confess, the only other film in this set I can remember much of is The American Soldier (Der amerikanische Soldat) mostly for its haunting score and boffo finale. It was the first time I felt Fassbinder's aesthetic sense cohere into something unique and memorable, where I could begin to see his influence on someone like Tarantino.

I confess, a huge part of why I immediately loved Inglourious Basterds was I had just gone on a major Godard binge and it felt like seeing a French New Wave film in a multiplex, what with half of it being subtitled and all the fourth-wall breaking artifice.

Breathless remains a weird, hilarious, absolutely intoxicating noir film, with a tone absolutely true to its title. Jean-Paul Belmondo is a hot af boxing stud and I love him running around in a fedora doing a Humphrey Bogart impersonation. I remember my high school film studies professor, Mr. Costigan (who filled that class as a labor of love, and was also my yearbook and drama instructor) thinking it "didn't hold up" after he showed it to me, and frankly I just felt he didn't remember how to be young.

Anyway, now I'm talking about French movies. We all know the reputation of French movies, but tell me bro. How many fuckin French movies have you actually seen? Do you let the idea of other people's masturbatory pretensions close your heart to the sublime? Is nothing worth doing cause you're spending all your time posing as someone who isn't a poseur? God. Isn't it fucking exhausting, living up to the ultimate pretension of agreeable normalcy?

Imagine being the type of fucking twerp who feels a twinge of resentment and rage at someone else owning Criterion movies cause you think you can pass for a sophisticate with your consumer choices.

When I first got into fucking film, streaming wasn't a thing and I pirated everything, like constantly. I would download five or six films a night, then watch them on my shitty laptop in the dark. I fucking both felt bad for stealing, and also, yeah -- wanted to watch the films uncompressed and on a real television. There was a lot of fucking shit I would "steal" -- not only music and movies, but property, energy, souls. I'd felt I was on a largely invisible redemption arc, for ultimately my own moral integrity amounted to nothing but a private daydream in an amoral world, as if my attitudes weren't shaping my reality. To me, supporting the creators of the artworks I admired once I had the means to do so (even if it was largely symbolic) mattered more than how I'd appear for buying things cause shit's how it is, not how it looks.

To @aquilalorelei

I know you'll never read this. Or maybe you will, wherever you are. Do they get wifi in the afterlife? Anyway. On the off chance that this message gets sent to... wherever... I'm writing it. I wish things had been different.

I tried. So FUCKING hard. I tried to make us work but, whether you realized you were doing it or not, you wouldn't let me. If it was your brain rotted by whatever has now taken you, I don't know. If it was you intentionally pushing away everyone who cared about you so they wouldn't cry when you were gone, I don't know. I honestly don't know much right now, really. The point is, I couldn't do it anymore. I tried as hard as I fucking could but I couldn't do it. If that makes me weak, or what, I don't know that either. Maybe I should have given you even more chances. Maybe I should have ended it sooner. There's a million maybes honestly of things that I could have done differently but, really, sitting here knowing that this is how it ended, all I can say is that I have far less regrets than I probably should. You aren't suffering anymore. You were a scientist. You never really believed much in an afterlife, but at least you are no longer suffering. If there's nothing that comes after this, I can take comfort that you aren't in pain anymore. If there is something after this though, I hope that the first thing you did upon getting there was to find Kevin Tod Smith and tell him how much you've missed him all these years. I hope he welcomed you with open arms and thanked you for never letting his memory die, 20 years later. I hope you told him all the things you always wanted to tell him. Knowing you, you're still probably wherever fangirling like crazy over him, swooning over his accent as he sings "Rebel Yell" for you for the fifth time. Anyway, as a word to the people out there in this plane of existence who are reading this. Life is short. You never know when the people you once adored will be gone. So if you're going to end a friendship, be prepared for the possibility that those deathbed amends will never happen. Tomorrow is promised nobody. Not me, not her, NOT YOU (you know who you are), none of us. So think twice before you cut someone out of your life. Because you may never get a chance to change your mind. Anyway, goodbye luv. I loved you so 'stonking' much.

[misanthropemom]

Admittedly I am a Xena fan, and an Ares fan, and a Kevin Tod Smith fan, and I have never watched The Boys. So I have a really hard time adjusting to the passage of time because I still think of Karl Urban as that adorable little twink. And when I see him nowadays with those gifs of him lifting weights and everyone going crazy for his arms, all I can think of is, "oh, look at the little baby, trying to match Our Kev!" I mean I'm not immune to the thirst, but those tiddies will never compare. (Someone add that weightlifting bit from Lawless)
