Day 4 - Random Baby

Review:

“The latest from rapper Random Baby is a brutal, honest album — the most personal we’ve seen from her so far. Proving she’s a master storyteller, Baby teams up with veteran Chicago producer C. Rime to offer up what could be a major contender for album of the year.”

Homily on Jake Miller

Here is the preview of Fr. Rossi’s homily on rapper Jake Miller:

Jake and Dylan: A Homily

 “I got life, I got love, I got faith and that’s enough.”

                                                                                    “I’m Alright” by Jake Miller

 Jake Miller will never forget that day.

 The rapper got word on February 12, 2015 that his childhood friend Dylan Schopp's body had been found in their old hangout, Markham Park in Weston, South Florida.

 Jake says he just walked out of a recording session, and went back to his Los Angeles hotel.

 There, in a stream of hyperconsciousness, he wrote and recorded a tribute to Dylan on his phone.

 It only took him a couple of hours.

__________

 Back in Weston, David and Debbie Schopp, were reeling from their 21-year-old son's suicide.

 Later that day, they received a condolence text message from Miller that included the rough recording of the song.

 It was titled with the nickname Dylan had earned in high school because of his extraordinary spirit of optimism and kindness. 

 It was called "Sunshine."

__________

 "You break down and you cry." Miller says. "It's very raw. But, you have to do more.”

 Miller's song came with a question for the Schopps: Should he take it into the studio, record it, and release "Sunshine,” or keep it just between them?

 The Schopps decided that Dylan's legacy, the outgoing and helpful attitude that made him a ray of sunshine to everyone, meant Miller had to share the song.

 Miller's EP, "Rumors," closes with "Sunshine.” 

 His video for the song, with Dylan's friends and family in Markham Park, was published on YouTube as part of Suicide Prevention Month and has generated almost 2 million views.

 The "Sunshine" video has also been in regular rotation on MTV, which is collaborating with Miller to help troubled young people.

__________

 For the "Sunshine" video, Miller used Facebook to gather a couple of hundred friends and family, asking them to wear white. 

 The video, which includes family pictures and movies of Dylan provided by his parents, is highlighted by the release of dozens of lighted lanterns.

 "There was a lot of love, a lot of love," Miller says of that day. 

 "We videoed at the spot where he decided, you know, that … it was over. 

 “It was a special spot where Dylan and all our buddies used to go in high school. 

 “It was a beautiful afternoon and a beautiful evening. 

 “Everybody was there because they loved Dylan."

__________

 The opening scene of the video shows Dylan zipping along on a skateboard, as Miller sings, "Will I see you again when I'm lost in the dark? Will you be there for me when I look at the stars?"

 Miller carefully monitors the comments section for the video, where kids thank him for the song and for helping them put aside thoughts of suicide. 

__________

 Miller and the Schopps also created the Sunshine Foundation, which promotes suicide prevention awareness.

 "We wanted to keep Dylan's memory alive. He was a ray of light for so many people," Miller says.

 One way the foundation raises money is through the sale of Sunshine wristbands, yellow rubber bracelets inscribed with the word "Sunshine." 

 Since the video was released, the foundation has had a hard time keeping them in stock.

__________

 Miller first remembers Dylan as a skinny ninth-grader with a mouth full of braces, a crown of blonde hair, an ever-present smile, and a "ready, willing and able" attitude.

 That’s why their wrestling coach gave him his nickname, Sunshine. 

 But it stuck for a reason, Miller says.

 "He was one of those kids who was friends with everyone, extremely easy to be around.

 “He helped me a million times when I felt down!

 "He was just always happy, just a positive, happy kid, always smiling." 

__________

 As Miller moved on with his music career, Dylan went to Florida State University. 

 Then he enlisted in the Army shortly before he died.

 "He was going to be leaving for boot camp sometime after this all happened.” 

 "He told me he wanted to make a difference but, something personal just happened, you know?

 “So, now we’re going to make that difference in his memory.”

__________

                                                     “Give comfort to my people,” says the Lord.

 Jake Miller is a rapper.

 There are lots of rappers these days.

 Some of them seem to care only for themselves.

 But Miller stands out because he wants to make a positive difference in other peoples’ lives.

 He wants to comfort people, like his friend Dylan, who are going through troubled times.

__________

 This is the Second Sunday of Advent.

 Notice God’s words to us. There’s all about loving concern.

 “I will give you comfort.”

 “I will speak tenderly to you.”

 “Fear not, I am here.”

 “I will care for you.”

__________

 As Jake Miller says, "If it could happen to Dylan, it could happen to anyone.

 "There are a lot of unsettled kids out there, and if I can do something to lead them in the right direction, I’ll do it.”

 That’s God’s attitude this Advent 2017.

 Let’s ask Him to make it our attitude as well.

Reese has been listed as in critical condition at Advocate Christ Medical Center in Oak Lawn.

According to witnesses, Reese was being pursued by another driver during a car chase. Reportedly up to a dozen gunshots were heard during the chase. According to witnesses, the driver in pursuit got out of his car and shot Reese with what appeared to be a small rifle before fleeing.

According to the police, blood was spotted on the driver’s side of a car. However, someone had transported Reese to a hospital in Hazel Crest, where he was stabilized before being transferred to Advocate Christ.

Police are still trying to locate the car—a  Chevy Malibu with Wisconsin license plate.

Eventually Placing Roman In A Choke Hold, He Asks Brian Why He's Here And Brian Tells Him That If He Helps Him They'll Take Off That Tracking Bracelet Of His And They'll Clean His Record...

Asking Bilkins If Brian's Deal Is Legit, He Tells Roman That It Is And Despite Acting Like He Won't Accept It, Brian Knows That Roman Will And He Does As They're Both Driven There, But Once There, Roman Is Having Second Thoughts As He Doesn't Trust Brian...

And With The Way Dom Reacted In The Last Movie When He Found Out That Brian Was A Cop, I'm Not Very Surprised...

Arguing With Roman About Blaming Him Ever Since He Got Caught. Brian Tells Roman To Chill Out, Stop Blaming Him And To Take Responsibility...

Entering A Wherehouse, They're Introduced To The Undercover Agent Who's Monica Fuentes (Played By Eva Mendes) And Is The Same Woman That Brian Talked To At Tej's Street Race...

Somewhere In Brian's Head He's Got To Be Thinking...

Bilkins Sees It As An Opportunity To Nab Him But Roman Says They Have One Probem And It's Fuentes...

Telling Them That Verone Is Banging Her, Markham Thinks It's Obsurd But Asks What Brian Thinks About Fuentes Being A Possible Double Agent As Brian Would Know Which Is Where Markham Spills The Beans To Roman On What Happened With Dom That Cost Brian His Badge...

Saying That They'll Keep An Eye On Fuentes, Brian And Roman Leave Which Is Where Roman Asks Brian About Dom, But He Doesn't Want Talk About It Which Is Fine But They Have Other Problems Besides Fuentes Being With Verone Including The Fact That Markham Tried To Blow Their Cover And That They Got 2 Wired Cars That Aren't Going To Helpful To Either Of Them, Realizing This Leads Brian To Say That They Need To Come Up With An Exit Strategy...

Knowing That In Order To Do This They're Going To Need 2 More Cars, They Team Up With Tej And Suki To Challenge 2 Muscle Car Drivers They Met When Trying Out For Verone To A Race, Winner Takes The Loser's Cars

Going To Verone's Club, The Pearl, It Is A Cesspool Of Activity. Running Into Fuentes, She Tells Them That They're Doing Something Right As Verone Never Socializes With The Help...

While Roman Uses The Bathroom, Brian Talks With Fuentes Who's Having A Problem With Roman's Attitude Brian Just Says He Doesn't Trust Cops Before Telling Her Their Backstory, Turns Out Brian Was Only A Cop 2 Months Before Roman Was Busted In A Garage Raid Over 8 Sets Of Wheels In His Possession All Of Them Stolen, Of Course, Brian Didn't Know That The Raid Was Going Down But It Didn't Matter Once He Became A Cop, Roman Saw Him As A Friend Who Became The Enemy..,

Verone Warns Flass That If He Betrays Him, He'll Do The Same Thing He Did Here To His Entire Family And Kill Them All...

Wait A Minute! Did They Bleep Verone Out Here?

The Complete Line He Gives To Flass Is "I'll Burn Your F※※※※※※ Eyes Out" Which Could Be Understandable If The Movie Was Shown On Tv And The Network Decided To Bleep It Out That Would Fine But Why Was It Bleeped Out In The Final Cut? Were They Close To An R Rating To The Point That The Only Way The MPAA Would Let The Film Slip With PG-13 Rating Was If They Bleeped Out This One Word In This One Scene? If Anyone Knows Please I Would Really Love To Know Why This Scene Is The Way It Is In This Movie...

And So, With The 15 Minute Window Confirmed, Verone Tells The Boys To Be At Versailles Cafe, 6:00 Am, The Day After Tomorrow, Ready To Drive. Leaving With Fuentes, Verone Kisses Her And Says That If She Ever Touches Another Man, He'll Kill Her...

When Brian Gets Out, They Search His Boat To Find Nothing But That Doesn't Stop Roman From Starting A Fight...

Seeing Fuentes At His Compound, Verone Asks Her Where She's Been With Her Telling Him That She Went To Breakfast With Some Friends...

And He Backs Off..

Returning To Talk With Bilkins And...

I'm Sorry, But That Outfit On Bilkins Makes Him Look Like Magnum, T.C., And Higgins Combined Together To Form One Guy...

Anyway, They Tell Markham And Billkins About The Cop That Verone Threatened Into Giving Him A 15 Minute Window And That Verone Is Driving To An Airstrip Where He'll Fly Off. Brian Also Tells Them That Monica Warned Them That Verone Plans On Killing Them Once He Has The Cash...

Not Being What Bilkins Signed Up For He Wants To Call This Off, But Markham Says That If Anyone Is Calling It Off, It's Him...

Markham Tells Brian And Roman To Do What They Were Brought In For Or They'll Go To Jail, Plain And Simple. So, With Chances Of Survival Being Very Slim, They Decide To Come Up With Their Own Plan To The Point That They Even Get Tej Involved As He Shows Them Hangars At An Airport...

I Think This Calls For A Montage!

With Things All Set, Roman And Brian Go To The Pier For To Talk. There They Talk About Why Roman Is So Interested In Food (Apparently It Has To Do With A High Metabolism) And Brian Tells Roman That If He Could Have Done Something To Get Him Out Of Jail He Would've But Roman Tells Brian That It's Not His Fault And That It's All His Plain And Simple...

The Next Morning, Verone And Fuentes Head Down To The Airstrip, Flass Keeps The Cops Distracted And Brian And Roman Are Led By Enrique And Roberto To A Trailer Park Where The Money Is However It Turns Out That Flass Has His Men In The Exact Same Area, Uh Oh...

Yep, Flass Decided To Double Cross Verone And Send The Cops After Brian, Roman And Verone's Boys..

Well. I Guess He Can Kiss His Family Goodbye Maybe Instead Of Rats Verone Will Use Scarecrow's Fear Gas On Them..

Hearing The Cops, They Pack Up But Before They Go, Roman Plays A Game Called Bowling For Cop Cars...

Strike!

Still Being Chased By Cops, They Head South Down I-95, But The Police Use The Same Weapon That Markham Used Earlier To Get Brian Which Forces Brian To Climb Out The Window To Get It Off...

Succeeding, Brian Throws It At A Police Car Which Causes A Crash Of Police Cars...

With The Police Still Following Them, They Head To The Airport Where They Enter Some Hangars...

But When They Come Out...

The Police Cars Get Hit By Some Trucks So That A Cadre Of Cars Can Come Racing Out Of The Hangars...

And It's Not Just 10 Or 20 Cars, I'm Talking Billions Of Cars!

You're Damn Right To Say That, Lady...

Eventually Finding Brian And Roman's Car, They're Unfortunately Cornered By The Cops Who Discover That Brian And Roman Aren't In Their Cars!

Turns Out Tej And Suki Pulled A Fast One On The Officers And Decided To Take Brian And Roman's Cars While Brian, Roman And Verone's Men Took 2 Different Cars That Managed To Get Away From The Officers...

And It's Here We Say Goodbye To Tej And Suki Though We Do See Tej Again In Future Sequels Along With Both Brian And Roman Suki Never Appears Again And To Her I Will Say The Same Thing I Said To Leon In The Last Movie, We Hardly Knew Ye, Though Unlike Leon I Do Hope We See Her Again In A Sequel In The Future, I Mean If Fuentes Can Appear In A Cameo I'm Sure They Can Get Her To Appear Either In A Cameo Or As A Member Of Dom's Family...

Anyway, Since They're Safe, Brian And Roman Realize There's Only One Thing Left To Do And That's To Say Goodbye To Enrique And Roberto With Their New Ejector Seats!

However Before Brian Can Eject Either Enrique Or Roberto (I Don't Know Which Is Which) The Guy Is Like Get Off At Tarpon Point But Brian Knows That There's No Airstrip At Tarpon Point The Guy Is Like Who Said Anything About An Airstrip...

Okay, Let Me Back Up A Little Here...

While Everything Was Going Down With Brian And Roman, Markham Was At The Airstrip To Get Verone However, When Him And SWAT Covered Verone's Vehicle They Discovered That Verone And Fuentes Weren't There...

Yep, The Location Was A Decoy!

Calling Roman, Brian Tells Him Everything As He Arrives At The Rendezvous With Jimmy...

Arriving At A Dock Brian Sees Verone With Fuentes As They Get The Money Out Of Brian's Car With Brian Telling Verone That The Rest Of His Cash Is On It's Way In Another Car Asking About The Agents At The Airstrip, Brian Denies Everything But Verone Says He Only Told One Person About The Airstrip And That's Monica...

Getting Monica On The Boat, Verone Tells His Henchman To Hide The Car And Kill Brian But When They Hide The Car, Brian Hits The Ejector Switch (Which Doesn't Work, Good Job, Tej) But Luckily Roman Shows Up Which Gives Brian Time To Fight The Guy...

Managing To Subdue The Henchmen , Brian And Roman See That Verone Is On The Move So, Getting In Brian's Car They Follow Him Only To Do A Dukes Of Hazzard Right Into His Boat...

With Brian Shooting Verone In The Shoulder, Fuentes Grabs Verone's Shotgun, One Way Or Another They Got Him...

Telling Them About 3 Bags Of Cash, Markham Promises Them That Their Records Are Clean Which Makes Roman Pop Out 3 More Bags...

Watching Verone Get Healed By Paramedics, Bilkins Tells Them That Suki And Tej Have Been Released From Hold Up And There's A Sedan Ready To Go. And I Would Say That This Is The Last Time We See Monica Fuentes But As I Said When I Was Talking About Suki We See Her Again At The End Of Fast Five So, I'm Not Going To Say Goodbye To Her But I Will Do This...

Walking Off With Roman, They Talk About Opening A Garage In Miami But How Are They Going To Do It Well...

(Laughing)

And That's 2 Fast 2 Furious And It's Not Bad Or At Least Not As Bad Some People Thought When It First Came Out...

When This First Came Out People Didn't Like This Movie They Thought It Wasn't The Same Without Vin Diesel And Director Rob Cohen (Who Instead Of Doing The Sequel They Decided To Make Their Own Film, XXX) To Which When This Film Didn't Do Good, They Brought Diesel Back For A Cameo In The Third Film, Tokyo Drift Which We'll Briefly Talk About Next Week But My Opinions On This Film Are That, I Think The Story Is Good, The Characters Are Interesting, The Cars For What We See Are Well Designed However, The Villain Can Be A Little Dumb At Times But Still I Say See It...

Until Next Time, This Is Duke, Signing Off...

DOSSIER HIPHOP HISTORY - PT2

Dossier hiphop history is een driedelige serie, waar op een uitgebreide manier de ontstaansgeschiedenis van hiphop wordt uitgelegd aan de hand van zijn bekendste grondleggers

DJ Kool Herc, Afrika Bambaataa en Grandmaster Flash creëerden de basis van hiphop. Hun werk is zo belangrijk voor het ontstaan van de hiphop, dat ze binnen de hiphopkringen ook wel een andere naam hebben; The Holy Trinity of Hiphop. Maar als mensen aan hiphop denken, denken ze niet meteen aan dj’s, maar aan rappers. Dus wanneer ontmoetten de beats en het rijmen elkaar dan eigenlijk?

Frankie Crocker

Er zijn veel mensen die beweren dat Frankie Crocker de grondlegger van het rappen was. Frankie was een radio dj in de jaren 70. Hij kondigde zijn platen zo aan, dat als je zijn oude tapes terug zou luisteren, het bijna lijkt alsof hij rapt op een beat. De straat dj’s zouden het hiervan opgepikt hebben. Ze deden na wat Frankie deed en zo werd het hiphop zoals het nu is.Toch is Frankie niet helemaal de grondlegger van het rappen, aangezien hij rappen helemaal niet leuk vond en er eigenlijk ook niets mee te maken wilde hebben. Maar wie is er dan wel begonnen met rappen? Hier zijn verschillende antwoorden over te vinden en de meningen hierover zijn dan ook sterk verdeeld.

DJ Hollywood

Laten we beginnen met DJ Hollywood. Hij is volgens Kurtis Blow (een Amerikaanse rapper en producer) de allereerste old-school-hip-hop-dj. Maar iedereen wordt geïnspireerd door een ander en bij DJ Hollywood was dit Pigmeat Markham. Pigmeat Markham bracht in 1968 het nummer ‘Here Comes The Judge’ uit. Hij rijmde op een beat en Hollywood heeft dit later van hem over genomen.

Toch is dit niet de soort rap waar we vandaag de dag nog mee te maken hebben. Hollywood was namelijk een wat meer elitaire rapper en veel rappers vinden dat elitaire rappers geen echte rappers zijn. Het komt eigenlijk hierop neer: Hollywood was disco, hiphop was gebaseerd op de beat. Het verschil tussen hiphop- en discofeesten was, dat bij disco de liefde als boodschap werd genomen en bij hiphop was dit juist het tegenovergestelde. Hiphop kwam voort uit woede, haat en opstand. Theoretisch gezien was Hollywood dus de eerste ritmische rapper in de hiphop, maar voor velen was dit niet het geval en was hij niet meer dan een disco dj. Voor de mensen in de Bronx ging het niet om disco, maar om de breaks. Daarom gaan we terug naar de Bronx, waar Grandmaster Flash nog steeds populair is.

Grandmaster Flash and the Furious Five

Flash mocht dan wel heel populair zijn, hij genoot nog niet optimaal van zijn feesten. Hij had namelijk één probleem: de mensen die naar zijn feesten kwamen, waren meer geïnteresseerd in de manier waarop Flash de muziek maakte, dan welke muziek hij draaide. Iedereen kwam altijd heel dicht bij de draaitafel staan om zo goed mogelijk te zien hoe Flash zijn platen keurig in elkaar over liet lopen. Dit was echter helemaal niet wat Flash wilde. Hij wilde juist dat mensen genoten van zijn muziek en de hele avond door dansten.

Flash besloot dat hij maar moest gaan praten, maar draaien en praten gaat niet tegelijk, dus kwam hij met een oplossing om een microfoon aan de andere kant van zijn draaitafel te zetten. Iedereen die wel wat bij elkaar kon praten mocht bij zijn team komen.

Na een tijdje had Flash vijf MC’s gevonden. MC’s is een afkorting van ‘master of ceremonies’ en betekent in het Nederlands ‘ceremoniemeester’.  Met Master of Ceremonies wordt een uitvoerende artiest of rapper aangeduid. Flash’ team bestond uit: Melle Mel, Kidd Creole, Cowboy, Rahiem en Mr. Ness aka Scorpio. Samen vormden zij The Furious Five.

Vanaf dit moment ondervond de hiphop wereld grote veranderingen. Flash draaide nog steeds zijn platen, maar nu stonden er vijf jongens om hem heen. En in plaats van op de grond in een hoekje achter in de zaal, stonden de jongens hoog op een podium. Het waren geen hiphopfeesten meer, maar hiphopconcerten. De rappers wilde vanaf dit moment gehoord én gezien worden. Dat veranderde de dynamiek van hiphop van een dj-gerichte cultuur, in iets waarin de rap als het ware het dominante deel van de hiphop was. Vandaag de dag bestaat hiphop wel uit meer dan alleen feesten in achterstandswijken in de Bronx. Creatieve innovatie is namelijk niet het enige waarop hiphop werd gebouwd.                 

Maar hoe ging hiphop dan van underground naar mainstream? Dat lees je binnenkort in deel 3 van hiphop history!

[Intro: Shawn Lawrence] “There’s 3 balls and a strike. Here’s the pitch. It’s belted deep to center, Revere goes back, jumps at the wall, and it’s gone!”

Isn’t it amazing how you talk all this shit and we still lack communication How beautiful our kids would be, girl, I don’t need convincing How every conversation starts with “this time will be different” Oh, the idea is fun, oh, the idea is fun Oh, the idea is so fun every time At least we try for home run every time

Swanging, eyes closed just swanging Same city, same friends if you’re looking for me Same city, same friends if you’re looking I’ll be here just swanging Don’t talk to me like I’m famous And don’t assume cause I don’t respect assumptions babe I’m just tryna connect with somethin’ babe Yeah, swanging

She just wanna run around the city and make memories That she can barely remember And I’d allow her, talk about pussy power She just wanna run over my feelings Like she drinking and driving in an 18 wheeler And I’d allow her, talk about pussy power She used to say: “You can be whoever you want, even yourself” Yeah, I show up knowin’ exactly who I was and never leave as myself But when it falls apart, I’m always still down To pick a million tiny little pieces off the ground Wish you would learn to love people and use things And not the other way around

Swanging, eyes closed just swanging Same city, same friends if you’re looking for me Same city, same friends if you’re looking I’ll be here just swanging Don’t talk to me like I’m famous And don’t assume cause I don’t respect assumptions babe I’m just tryna connect with somethin’ babe I’ll be here,just swanging

I remember when my schedule was as flexible as she is She call and tell me be here before the sun up I be dressed before we hung up I take Eglinton to 401 east And exit at Markham road in the east end Where all the pretty girls are sleeping My license been expired I renew it after the weekend Fuck I know I said that shit the last 7 weekends Girl I guess procrastination is my weakness I hate stoppin’ for gas this late Cause there’s niggas creepin and not like how we’re creepin’ Summer is comin’ know you could feel it 20 on pump whatever I ain’t got enough to fill it Won’t knock on your door My uncle say, “You drive my whip like it’s yours” I got the pedal to the floor I’m on my motherfuckin’ way swangin’

Don’t fall asleep on me, hang in there I’ll be there just swangin’ I’ll be there just swangin’ I treat you good girl like you’re famous I know I’m late it’s always the same shit But don’t fall asleep on me, hang in there I’m on the road right now swangin, girl

Admittedly, I haven’t been great about keeping up with the Monthly Roundup feature.  I like having an overview of the fat characters I’m exposed to as part of my regular moviegoing, but something about its current format doesn’t feel quite right, and I’ve decided to shelve it until I’m more confident about what I’m doing with it.  However, I’m pleased to report that in the space of one short month (admittedly not a calendar month, but still), I have seen no less than four films with kickass fat female characters.  Most amazingly, I only sought out one of the four because I knew in advance that it had a fat female character; the others were complete surprises.  Check these out if you’re able.

Deidre and Laney Rob a Train (2017, dir. Sydney Freeland)

It’s not uncommon for a socially awkward protagonist high school girl to have a frenemy, someone in her social circle who is overly assertive and selfish, but gets away with it because of her social capital and ability to be manipulative. (Mean Girls. If it’s not patently obvious, I’m referencing Mean Girls.)  In a subplot, Laney (Rachel Crow) is strong-armed into auditioning for a beauty pageant by Claire (Brooke Markham), a Lady Macbeth-in-training who is determined to become Miss Iowa and wants Laney to make her look better by comparison.  Claire is ruthless, ambitious, struts around with a cute boy on her arm, and the film never so much as comments on the fact that she’s bigger than the other girls in the competition.  I don’t automatically cotton to fat female antagonists for merely existing, but considering that Claire’s threat to Laney is fueled by her confidence, social prowess, and beauty, it’s heartening that the role was given to a larger-bodied actress.

GLOW: The Gorgeous Ladies of Wrestling (2012, dir. Brett Whitcomb)

A compelling documentary about the Gorgeous Ladies of Wrestling, a short-lived tv phenomenon in the late 80s that helped legitimize women in the world of professional wrestling.  The film basically opens with footage from the tv show of two fat women, Mountain Fiji (Emily Dole) and Matilda the Hun (Dee Booher) throwing down in the ring. Although the other GLOW members featured in the documentary are thin and conventionally good-looking, Mt. Fiji and Matilda also stand out for their dedication to their craft.  The other women talk about their time with GLOW as a fun adventure they had in their youth, mostly sending them on to other careers.  As Matilda the Hun, a “glamazon” heel, Booehr views wrestling as her vocation, having struggled to wrestle in male-dominated venues long before being hired by GLOW, and continuing to wrestle long after it ends.  Dole, a former Olympic-level shot putter, doesn’t have a story quite as happy as the others– the present-day segments show her struggling with health problems– but her reunion with the rest of the GLOW cast shows that not only was she one of the main faces on the show, but that her castmates truly looked up to her as the heart of the phenomenon.

A scripted series based on GLOW is releasing this summer on Netflix… we’ll see if they fuck it up, I guess!

Mountain Fiji

Matilda the Hun

My Entire High School Sinking Into the Sea (2017, dir. Dash Shaw)

I went into the theater thinking that the title was metaphorical, and I was dead wrong. Daria meets The Poseidon Adventure, with an inventive visual style along the lines of of Belladonna of Sadness.  Dash (Jason Schwartzman), our protagonist, is a self-centered sophomore who sees himself as the star journalist of the school’s newspaper.  He makes several comments about his best friend Assaf (Reggie Watts) being fat, but Assaf’s character design isn’t markedly different from the other not-fat characters.  Lunchlady Lorraine (Susan Sarandon), however, is drawn fatter than the other characters, and her size belies remarkable strength and ability.

Patti Cake$ (2017, dir. Geremy Jasper)

An underdog story about Patricia “Killa P” Dumbrowski (Danielle Macdonald),  a young woman from a working class town in northeast New Jersey who dreams of making it as a rapper.  Her best friend Jheri (Siddharth Dhananjay) encourages her to share her talent with the world, but she feels held back by a host of reasons, including her peers who deride her for her size.  Fatphobia isn’t the only problem she faces, though, and she channels her feelings her body– both anger at her haters and defiant pride in herself– into her lyrics.

Deidre and Laney Rob a Train and GLOW: the Gorgeous Ladies of Wrestling are on Netflix, My Entire High School Sinking into the Sea is currently in theaters, and Patti Cake$ is due for a wide release in July (I got to see it early thanks to the Chicago Critics Film Festival).

    Three 2017 Movies with Awesome Fat Female Characters (and one from 2012 because why not) Admittedly, I haven't been great about keeping up with the Monthly Roundup feature.  I like having an overview of the fat characters I'm exposed to as part of my regular moviegoing, but something about its current format doesn't feel quite right, and I've decided to shelve it until I'm more confident about what I'm doing with it.
