TIL that Rodney Rowland was in Home first before Never Again:
Tumblr media
“I see James Morrison; Rodney Rowland and Morgan Weisser as three big freak brothers,” Glen Morgan told Chris Carter, Carter’s response: “Okay!” Morrison, Rowland and Weisser, of course, were three cast members from Space: Above and Beyond: Morgan and Wong wanted to write about three freak brothers because they had concluded, after their survey of the third season episodes, that The X-Files needed a kick in the pants, something that would be swift and shocking; an old-fashioned horror show. “We wanted to start off with a bang,” noted Wong. Freak brothers would do the trick.

This week on Space: Above and Beyond they just casually give an unnamed one off character a meaty conversations that perfectly encapsulates the ideas and themes this series was going for.

Rodney Rowland in The X-Files (1993) Never Again
S4E13
With Mulder off on a week's mandatory leave, Scully is on her own and feeling put upon. While in Philadelphia she meets Edward Jerse who asks her out to dinner. Ed had recently gone through a nasty divorce. Despondent and more than a little drunk, he got a tattoo. Soon after, he began hearing voices and lashing out at work. He lost his job and disposed of a neighbor who he thought was tormenting him. After drinks, Scully gets a tattoo of her own, but the next day two Philadelphia police detectives show up at Jerse's apartment investigating his neighbor's disappearance. Scully may have found a medical reason for Ed's hallucinations.
*Jodie Foster was a longtime friend of the show's casting director, Randy Stone, and also a huge fan of the show. So when she was asked to provide a voice, she readily agreed. Foster nailed her line readings in one hour in a recording booth.

My rating of fake Mulders in the x-files
Ed Jerse - potrayed by Rodney Rowland
Tumblr media
younger than Mulder, creepier than Mulder, this guy is supposed to look like him just enough for it to bother you. totally looks like someone who would kill his neighbour. 7/10
Kansas city FBI agent - portrayed by Steve Kiziak
Tumblr media
virtually irrecognizable from some angles, eastern european, real life stunt double, even gets his ass beaten to a pulp by Kansas city Scully. I love him. 9.5/10
fake txf movie Mulder portrayed by Gary Shandling - potrayed by real Gary Shandling
Tumblr media
appearance wise not a good fit but I love a good internal joke and he's horny enough - 7/10
Agent Miller - potrayed by Robbie Amell
Tumblr media
minimal resemblance, zero charisma, character flatter and plainer than a toast bread, he's not even eastern european, he's not even jewish, absolutely terrible -100000000/10

x-files roundup
paper hearts: GOOD. you kind of have to ignore all of the clone samanthas mulder's encountered for this episode to work. if you do that, you get an absolutely superb story about mulder questioning the story he's told himself for years. everyone's acting like crazy here, but special props to tom noonan's john lee roche who is probably the funniest self-described child molesters in television. this is another vince gilligan ep so again, great tension, great scenery, gritty atmosphere. the silliest thing about this episode is that mulder still has his job at the end. there's no world in which an FBI agent would get outfoxed the way mulder does in this episode and then still keep their job, conspiracy or no.
el mundo gira: BAD. last season we got the racist against asians ep so i'm glad my brothers in mexico get their time in the spotlight for this one. a fortean event infects a migrant worker with a fungus that kills on touch. for some reason, this is el chupacabra, which is described as a kind of mexican hungry ghost instead of a mexican pop culture cryptid. he's accused of killing his lover who was also being eyed by his brother, who is now fixing to kill him. i feel like there's some kind attempt being made here to be funny by turning an x-file into a telenovela, but in practice it just means every single scene has latin soap opera music playing over it regardless of what's happening. too much of the story is played too straight to be funny and eladio is too much of a moron to be sympathetic. the bodies consumed by fungus look pretty cool.
leonard betts: GOOD. a mutant episode, but this one is sympathetic. leonard betts the walking, talking tumour monster is a really cool concept, made even better because he hasn't lost his humanity. he works as a paramedic mainly to get tumours to eat, but it also seems like he's just good at saving lives. he's apologetic towards everyone he kills and the various transformations he undergoes seem to be agonizing. you know some shit is going down when scully is too scared to perform an autopsy. the climax is a big reveal for where her story is going, but is also noteworthy for letting her kick some serious ass.
never again: BAD. i like the idea of scully getting fed up with mulder and having a sexy fling. i like the idea of a guy getting an evil tattoo. but in practice, not a good episode. rodney rowland does a great ed jerse but he's too deranged and violent to be sympathetic; i know everyone loves a bad boy but i think scully of all people would pick up the vibe of someone being genuinely dangerous. other critics have pointed this out but the one thing scully's life isn't lacking is excitement. mulder also comes across as an unbelievable jackass which on some level has always been part of the character, but his flippant disregard for her agency and her opinions just leaves a bad taste in the mouth. it's a bitter, mean-spirited episode, as much as i love it when scully has the spotlight. i also think they should never have explained the tattoo.

Lyrics:
Hit me
Can you keep up?
Baby boy, make me lose my breath
Bring the noise, make me lose my breath
Hit me hard, make me lose my (huh-huh)
Can you keep up?
Baby boy, make me lose my breath
Bring the noise, make me lose my breath
Hit me hard, make me lose my breath (huh-huh)
Ooh
I put it right there, made it easy for you to get to
Now you want to act like ya don't know what to do
After I done everything that you ask me
Grabbed you, grind you, liked you, tried you
Move so fast, baby, now I can't find you
Ooh
I'm startin' to believe that I'm way too much for you
All that talk but it seems like ya can't come through
All them lies like you could satisfy me
Now I see where believing you got me
Gave you the wheel but you can't drive me
Can you keep up?
Baby boy, make me lose my breath
Bring the noise, make me lose my breath
Hit me hard, make me lose my (huh-huh)
Can you keep up?
Baby boy, make me lose my breath
Bring the noise, make me lose my breath
Hit me hard, make me lose my breath (huh-huh)
Ooh
Two things I don't like when I'm tryna get my groove
Is a partner that meets me only halfway and just can't prove
Take me out so deep when you know you can't swim
Need a lifeguard and I need protection
So put it on me deep in the right direction
Ooh
You understand the facts that I'm tryna give to you
You're movin' so slow like you just don't have a clue
Didn't mama teach you to give affection?
Learn the difference of a man and an adolescent
It ain't you, boo, so get to stepping
Can you keep up? (Ooh)
Baby boy, make me lose my breath (my breath)
Bring the noise, make me lose my breath
Hit me hard, make me lose my (huh-huh)
Can you keep up?
Baby boy, make me lose my breath
Bring the noise, make me lose my breath
Hit me hard, make me lose my breath (huh-huh)
Can you keep up?
Baby boy, make me lose my breath
Bring the noise, make me lose my breath
Hit me hard, make me lose my (huh-huh)
Can you keep up?
Baby boy, make me lose my breath
Bring the noise, make me lose my breath
Hit me hard, make me lose my breath (huh-huh)
If you can't make me say ooh
Like the beat of this drum
Why you askin' for some
You ain't really want none
If you can't make me say ooh
Like the beat of this groove
You don't have no business in this
Here's your papers, baby, you are dismissed
Can you keep up?
Baby boy, make me lose my breath
Bring the noise, make me lose my breath
Hit me hard, make me lose my (huh-huh)
Can you keep up?
Baby boy, make me lose my breath
Bring the noise, make me lose my breath
Hit me hard, make me lose my breath (huh-huh)
Songwriter:
Can you keep up?

B-3 : Oscars 2023 Predictions - A Film fan's perspective (Part - 1)
Tumblr media
The 95th Academy Awards, a.k.a. The Oscars®, will take place on March 13 at 5:30 AM IST. The celebrations of the Oscar season are at their peak. Amid the fun and excitement, here's a look at the movies categories and our predictions of the winners:-
Best Picture
Nominations: 
All Quiet on the Western Front
Avatar: The Way of Water
The Banshees of Inisherin
Elvis
Everything Everywhere All at Once
The Fabelmans
TAR
Top Gun: Maverick
Triangle of Sadness
Women Talking
Tumblr media
Prediction: The Fabelmans
The Academy might favor a movie that exhibits the love for cinema through the eyes of one of Hollywood's most-respected directors - Steven Spielberg. Either originally-written movies like Everything Everywhere All at Once and The Banshees of Inisherin can give tough competition.
Best Director
Nominees:
Martin McDonagh, The Banshees of Inisherin
Daniel Kwan and Daniel Scheinert, Everything Everywhere All at Once
Steven Spielberg, The Fabelmans
Todd Field, TÁR
Ruben Östlund, Triangle of Sadness
Tumblr media
Prediction: Steven Spielberg
Spielberg would be the rightful winner for it. If it happens, he would be the third person to win three directing Oscars - after Frank Capra and William Wyler.
Best Original Screenplay
Nominees:
The Banshees of Inisherin – Martin McDonagh
Everything Everywhere All at Once – Daniel Kwan and Daniel Scheinert
The Fabelmans – Steven Spielberg and Tony Kushner
Tár – Todd Field
Triangle of Sadness – Ruben Östlund
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Prediction: The Banshees of Inisherin/Everything Everywhere All At Once
Unlike the first two categories, the Daniels and Martin McDonagh would be fighting for this award. It's the fight between the battle of multiverses & the conflict between two friends.
Best Adapted Screenplay
Nominees:
All Quiet on the Western Front – Edward Berger, Lesley Paterson, and Ian Stokell (based on the novel by Erich Maria Remarque)
Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery – Rian Johnson; based on characters created by Johnson and the film Knives Out
Living – Kazuo Ishiguro (based on the original motion picture screenplay Ikiru by Akira Kurosawa, Shinobu Hashimoto, and Hideo Oguni)
Top Gun: Maverick – Screenplay by Ehren Kruger, Eric Warren Singer, and Christopher McQuarrie; Story by Peter Craig and Justin Marks; based on the film Top Gun written by Jim Cash and Jack Epps Jr.
Women Talking – Sarah Polley (based on the novel by Miriam Toews)
Tumblr media
Prediction: Women Talking
Women Talking would be the ideal winner for the film adaptation of the atrocities by men against women (inspired by the Manitoba Colony, a remote and isolated Mennonite community in Bolivia).
Best Actor
Nominees:
Austin Butler – Elvis as Elvis Presley
Colin Farrell – The Banshees of Inisherin as Pádraic Súilleabháin
Brendan Fraser – The Whale as Charlie
Paul Mescal – Aftersun as Calum Paterson
Bill Nighy – Living as Mr. Rodney Williams
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Prediction: Austin Butler/Colin Farrell/Brendan Fraser
Fraser's portrayal of an obese, depressed man can bring the Academy in his favor. He would compete with Austin Butler's portrayal of the King of Rock n' Roll & Farrell's character of an Irishman betrayed by his best friend (both actors won this year's Golden Globes).
Best Actress
Nominees:
Cate Blanchett – Tár as Lydia Tár
Ana de Armas – Blonde as Norma Jeane Mortensen / Marilyn Monroe
Andrea Riseborough – To Leslie as Leslie Rowlands
Michelle Williams – The Fabelmans as Mitzi Schildkraut-Fabelman
Michelle Yeoh – Everything Everywhere All at Once as Evelyn Quan Wang
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Prediction: Cate Blanchett/Michelle Yeoh
It'll be the fight between Blanchett's complex character of an orchestra conductor & Yeoh's role of a superwoman protecting the multiverse from her daughter.
Best Supporting Actor
Nominees:
Brendan Gleeson – The Banshees of Inisherin as Colm Doherty
Brian Tyree Henry – Causeway as James Aucoin
Judd Hirsch – The Fabelmans as Boris Schildkraut
Barry Keoghan – The Banshees of Inisherin as Dominic Kearney
Ke Huy Quan – Everything Everywhere All at Once as Waymond Wang
Tumblr media
Prediction: Ke Huy Quan
This one's gonna go to Indiana Jones' sidekick - Short Round, i.e., Quan - for playing a kind and friendly person to his wife in different universes.
Best Supporting Actress
Nominees:
Angela Bassett – Black Panther: Wakanda Forever as Queen Ramonda
Hong Chau – The Whale as Liz
Kerry Condon – The Banshees of Inisherin as Siobhán Súilleabháin
Jamie Lee Curtis – Everything Everywhere All at Once as Deirdre Beaubeirdre
Stephanie Hsu – Everything Everywhere All at Once as Joy Wang / Jobu Tupaki
Tumblr media
Prediction: Angela Bassett
All hail the Queen Mother!!! Bassett's likely to take the trophy home for portraying the grieving mother of the late Chadwick Boseman's T'Challa.

One of the great strengths of Space: Above and Beyond is showing the complexity of war and here we get a moment that cuts through the dehumansation and othering one puts to the enemy and opts to have a brief moment of connection.

The 6th Day (2000)
Tumblr media
As far as Arnold Schwarzenegger’s filmography goes, The 6th Day lands near the middle. You’ll get an entertaining two hours out of it but a lot more could have been done with its premise.
In the near future (they say it’s sooner than we think), animal cloning has become routine but human cloning has been outlawed by the “6th Day” laws. Charter pilot Adam Gibson (Schwarzenegger) is hired to fly Michael Drucker (Tony Goldwyn), the CEO of Replacement Technologies. Adam trades places with his coworker Hank (Michael Rapaport) at the last minute but both Hank and Michael are killed by an assassin. To cover up the murder, Replacement Technologies - who has been lobbying for a repeal of the 6th Day laws - clones Michael and Adam (remember, he was supposed to be onboard). With two Adams running around, Replacement Technologies’ big secret will be exposed, unless Drucker’s agents can get to Adam first.
There’s always a certain amount of fun with any movie set in the future. The 6th Day postulates that we’ll have screens on our fridges that will allow us to order groceries the second they start to run low, have (mostly) self-driving cars, holographic girlfriends walking around our homes, interactive dolls that can literally befriend your children, laser guns and of course, cloning. We don't have all of these available yet but some of these prophecies have come true and since the film doesn’t commit to a set date, it isn’t embarrassing itself. Most of these aren’t actual predictions for what the future will be like anyway. The 6th Day isn't really interested in the ethics of cloning or where our civilization might be headed. When it touches upon the topic, it’s so it can highlight this character as being good, or this other one as evil.
If the movie were smarter, the “big twist” that comes during the last third might’ve been less obvious. Oh well. You’re watching this movie to see Arnold in a "Runner" sci-fi film trying to figure out what happened to him, uncover the conspiracy that’s going on, learn why we should hate the bad guys and then cheer when he takes them out. With cloning being Drucker’s trademark, his cronies (they’re played by Michael Rooker, Sarah Wynter, Rodney Rowland and Terry Crews) are never down for long. It seems a little inefficient considering you could probably hire someone to keep quiet for less than the 1.2 million Drucker says it costs him to bring his Team Rocket back to life over and over… but it does allow them to get more personality than the average baddies we see in these kind of films.
Several of Schwarzenegger’s pictures have been remade, rebooted or turned into franchises: Conan the Barbarian, The Terminator, Predator, Total Recall, etc. Why not this one? Because it's no classic. The 6th Day moves quickly, it’s got some neat bits of future tech, and a great premise but it could've been so much more. The funny thing is, this is exactly the kind of film that someone SHOULD redo. I doubt even director Roger Spottiswoode or writers Cormac & Marianne Wibberley would be opposed to the idea. The 6th Day is not essential viewing but if you’re in the right mood, it hits the spot. (August 3, 2022)
