When I found out there were names and production companies attached to the Gargoyles liveaction, I decided I was going to do my homework. Homework in this instance meaning, see as much of their work as possible. And that's how I wound up watching five SAW movies while I was reupholstering our storage stools.

Here's what I've seen, and here's what I've thought, organized by production company and then by Gary Dauberman and James Wan individually.

Blumhouse Productions (Atomic Monster merged in 2024, will maintain brand identity but use preexisting scaffolding to build platforms for their media)(this is not all of their productions, there were too many to take screenshots of; these are the ones I've seen)

Paranormal Activity (2009)❌

Insidious (2011) -> see below

Sinister (2012)✅

Dark Skies (2013)✅

Ouija (2014)❌

Jessabelle (2014)❌❌❌ (this one is so bad it made me sick)

The Lazarus Effect (2015)❌

Unfriended (2015)❌

Sinister 2 (2015)❌

Jem and the Holograms (2015)❌ (disappointing. could have been a camp icon. i doctored the premise and script after watching to make it a better movie)

Visions (2016)✅

Ouija: Origin of Evil (2016)❌

Get Out (2017)✅✅

Happy Death Day (2017)✅✅

BlacKkKlansman (2018)✅

Glass (2019)❌

Us (2019)✅✅

Happy Death Day 2U (2019)✅✅

Black Christmas (2019)✅

The Vigil (2021)✅✅

M3GAN (2023) -> see below

The Exorcist: Believer (2023)❌

Speak No Evil (2024) ✅I'm gay for Mackenzie Davis in this movie

Sharp Objects (2018, HBO Series)❌ Just not my thing

Here's a pic of Atomic Monster's overall ouvre, including what I've seen and what I thought of them (green = good, red = bad, grey line = haven't seen, yellow highlight = evaluated elsewhere)

Here's a list of Gary Dauberman's projects, same key as above:

And here's a partial list of James Wan features (all the more recent I either hadn't seen or were repeats on other lists):

In its flawed first season, “Halt and Catch Fire” tried too hard to be the next “Mad Men.” Following four visionaries through the first decade of the personal computing revolution, the AMC series opened by introducing its Don Draper: Joe MacMillan (Lee Pace), a slick, manipulative hotshot with an IBM pedigree. It’s 1983, and he’s speeding through Texas in a black sports car when he hits an armadillo. The carnage is nauseating, but it doesn’t stop him from making it to his destination: a college lecture hall where he’s come to interrogate a roomful of male comp-sci majors about the future of their industry. The sole woman in the class arrives late. She wears military fatigues, her hair is bleached, and bratty punk music blasts through her headphones. She is the most brilliant coder in the room.

Her name is Cameron Howe (Mackenzie Davis), and she turns out to be the show’s true protagonist. Her story comes to the fore in subsequent seasons that evolve radically enough to make “Halt and Catch Fire,” which ends its run on Saturday (Oct. 14), one of the greatest TV dramas of the decade. But there’s lots of tiresome male anti-hero stuff to get through first, as Joe commandeers a local electric company and talks its best employee, timid family man Gordon Clark (Scoot McNairy), into helping him reverse-engineer an IBM. As this classic alpha-beta duo schemes and innovates, their new hire (and Joe’s fuck buddy) Cameron remains a quasi-peripheral figure. It’s the songs music supervisor Thomas Golubić (“Breaking Bad,” “Better Call Saul,” “Six Feet Under”) surrounds Cam with that offer the first hint that the show is really her story.

Cam’s punk tapes are a window into the initially taciturn character’s rebellious nature, just as her headphones are the first clue that she’s a loner. In the premiere, she’s listening to the Vandals when she gets kicked out of a video arcade for using the old coin-on-a-string trick. A few episodes later, there’s a gorgeous scene where she pirouettes through a dark, empty office with X-Ray Spex’s “Germfree Adolescents” on her Walkman. (The moment is echoed near the end of season three, where she dances—first with Joe, then alone—to Pixies’ “Velouria.”) Whether it’s an iconic band like Bad Brains or a lesser-known act like Big Boys, Cam’s always got loud, angry music in her ears while she’s coding.

Cam is a punk, but not just in the banal, myopic way the tech industry has always appropriated the aesthetic—with dropout programming prodigies, “rockstar” developers, and startups bent on “disrupting” existing business models, all of whom share the ultimate goal of making money. She is impractical to a fault, trusting her own unruly instincts over the dictates of the market. Over four seasons, we watch her dream up everything from a friendly user interface that’s years ahead of its time and would take far too long to build, to a computer game so abstract, no one can understand how to play it. When she founds her own company, at the end of the first season, it’s called Mutiny. All of the employees live together in a house and make decisions democratically. Eventually, Cam exerts her power as Mutiny’s leader, but only to save her vision from getting absorbed into a big corporation.

From the very start, Cam’s music bleeds from her headphones into the show’s non-diegetic soundtrack. When she shows up for her first day at Cardiff Electric, the company Joe hijacks, “The Magnificent Seven” by the Clash follows her, its lyrics about the futility of the capitalist grind underscoring her ambivalence about the job. Over time, punk comes to symbolize Cam’s growing influence in the industry. It’s the official sound of Mutiny HQ, her chaotic geek haven adorned in red spray paint. Near the end of season two, the Raveonettes’ cover of Joy Division’s “She’s Lost Control” plays as she exacts public revenge on the billionaire who rips off the early online community she’s created. After Mutiny moves to California, in season three, hardcore riffs constantly reverberate through the cavernous office.

“Halt and Catch Fire” doesn’t usually hit you over the head with feminist themes, but it does subtly build an argument that women are gaining ground in a world men still control. Gordon’s wife, Donna (Kerry Bishé), initially seems like a nagging mom type, keeping her genius husband from his destiny. But she’s a genius, too; her engineering expertise becomes invaluable to Cardiff’s portable computer project, then she joins Cam at Mutiny. By the finale, Donna’s combination of technical prowess and business savvy have made her a powerful Silicon Valley venture capitalist, as well as a sort of Sheryl Sandberg figure.

Donna and Gordon Clark’s daughters, Joanie (played by Morgan Hinkleman as a kid and Kathryn Newton as a teenager) and Haley (Alana Cavanaugh and then Susanna Skaggs), are the next generation of liberated women. Cam lives with the Clarks after Mutiny moves to California, and her influence on the girls is palpable. A few quick time jumps land us in the mid-’90s by the fourth season, when the sisters are in high school. Teenage Joanie is a classic rebel, smoking cigarettes and getting into trouble and, yes, listening to punk. (The band name Shonen Knife, she explains to her father, basically means “dick” because “shonen” is the Japanese word for “boy.”) Haley is a budding web development star whose taste for PJ Harvey and riot grrrl helps her come to terms with her queer sexuality. A giddy scene midway through the season finds her bonding with her crush, a waitress, over Bratmobile and Heavens to Betsy.

Music becomes more essential to the show than ever in its fourth and final season. There are moving syncs that have nothing to do with Cam, like when an unmoored Donna gets pulled over for speeding while singing along to Pat Benatar’s “We Belong,” and when she plays Dire Straits’ “So Far Away” after Gordon’s sudden death. But the alternative, indie, and riot grrrl music Haley and Joanie listen to—Gen X’s version of the punk bands whose fierce spirit Cam helped instill in them—is the core soundtrack of these episodes. Golubić cements the connection by pairing Cam’s scenes with some of the 1990s’ most iconic female-led anthems: the Breeders’ “Cannonball,” Bikini Kill’s “Rebel Girl,” Hole’s “Doll Parts.” Just as X-Ray Spex and their peers helped pave the way for women in punk, Cam sets a precedent for girl programmers like Haley. At one point, she’s surfing the internet and stumbles upon a Cameron Howe fan page.

Perhaps the greatest thing about “Halt and Catch Fire” is that it ultimately has no real heroes or villains—only four talented, flawed people who all end up playing both of those roles at one point or another. The music is what puts us inside Cam’s mind more than any other character’s, though, and illustrates how her ideas electrify everyone who can wrap their mind around them, even when her projects fail. Her work endures like an out-of-print cassette passed from hand to grubby hand, a guidepost for like-minded young punks who walk the difficult path she cleared.

Love how the reviews of Terminator: Dark Fate on Letterboxd are overwhelmingly negative....of course they are. And any positive reviews mention Linda Hamilton as Sarah Connors and Mackenzie Davis as Grace as highlights and rightfully so! Especially Linda as Sarah Connors because she's iconic. But is no one else completely in love with Natalia Reyes as Dani Ramos???? Just me then? Okayyyy... It's fine...I'm used to loving characters most people don't give a fuck about lmao

Mackenzie Davis as Reno in A Country Called Home.

Part 2/2

Original Penguin Welcomes Tennis Professional Mackenzie McDonald

 as Brand Ambassador

“We are thrilled to have Mackie join the Original Penguin team as a tennis brand ambassador,” said Oscar Feldenkreis, CEO of Perry Ellis International.  “Mackie is a talented player in the prime of his career. We are confident he will represent the Original Penguin’s men’s tennis collection with style on and off the court.”

Heading into the ATP season Mackie will be wearing Original Penguin’s Spring 2023 men’s tennis collection, which he showcased at the 2023 Australian Open. The collection’s design inspiration represents a fusion of retro heritage style with a modern “original” twist. Crisp tennis whites create a bold statement when paired with bold prints. Enhanced fabrics include: luxe sustainable recycled yarns with elastane blends such as Repreve; 4-way stretch; extremely lightweight blends; and moisture-wicking UPF sun protection.

“I am proud to partner with such an incredible heritage brand like Original Penguin, “ stated McDonald. “The Original Penguin apparel feels great, I love the traditional style as well as the way it performs, enabling me to play my best in all types of conditions. I am excited to showcase the Penguin in 2023 and the years beyond.”

McDonald, former NCAA singles and doubles champion at UCLA and 2023 United States Davis Cup team member, joins current Original Penguin tennis staffer Ajla Tomljanović and pickleball pro Matt Wright. “This is a dynamic and talented group of professionals,” added Feldenkreis. “We are ecstatic to have them on Team Penguin.”

 For over 60 years Original Penguin, and its namesake icon Pete the Penguin, has been adorned and adored by masters of leisure and sport to define itself as an American classic.  Today, the Penguin icon still stands as a signal for those who know how to be an original and what you wear for the good times.
