Barely Lethal (2015)

While I didn't enjoy this film, that doesn't mean you won't. No matter what I say, the people involved in this project did it: they actually made a movie. That's something to be applauded. With that established...

From its title to the mid-credit stinger that promises a sequel, every aspect of Barely Lethal is a bad call. I know in 2015 Hailee Steinfeld was 19 years old but she plays a 16-year-old here. Why would you evoke memories of those creepy dudes who set up a countdown clock to the Olsen twins’ 18th birthday? This film is too dumb for adults and no good for kids, which means it’s for… no one.

The government-run Prescott Academy trains little girls to be professional assassins under the tutelage of Hardman (Samuel L. Jackson). Agent 83 (Steinfeld) is his top student but she yearns for a normal life. After capturing arms dealer Victoria Knox (Jessica Alba), 83 fakes her death and begins a new life as Megan Walsh, a regular teenager going through an exchange program at the Larson family home.

Grown-ups will inundate the film with questions it cannot answer. What are the moral and legal ramifications of training minors to kill government targets? If Megan faked her death and is trying to live a normal life, why does she keep all her spy gadgets… and where does she store them? We’ve seen her go undercover as an inconspicuous-looking teenager and her job is to blend in, so why does she act like she’s never seen a human being before once she leaves the assassin life? You’re not supposed to think while watching this movie, which is bad news for anyone over the age of 12 who might’ve been drawn by the impressive cast. Ok, Sam Jackson’s been in a lot of dodgy movies and Jessica Alba’s name doesn’t mean much unless she’s in Sin City, Dan Fogler's always a bit of a Jack Black knockoff (and his part feels like it was edited down) but Steinfeld’s a bankable star! Actually, she’s good here too, considering how shoddy her material is.

As soon as Megan walks into her school, you’ve got most of the movie figured out. She’s immediately drawn to Cash Fenton (Toby Sebastian, looking a lot like Harry Styles) but connects on a more personal level with geeky Roger (Thomas Mann). Her foster sister Liz (Dove Cameron) wants nothing to do with Megan. If I tell you the movie ends with everyone going to prom, am I spoiling anything? You can foresee the whole thing early on - except when the movie drops the ball. You won’t predict the creepy way Mr. Drumm (Fogler) fawns over Cash, the story arc they give to the school douche-bro-pervert Gooch (Gabriel Basso) or how little time we spend on the love triangle. The way Megan makes her ultimate choice on the big night seems so shallow it makes you wonder if writer John D’Arco and director Kyle Newman were paying attention or if either of them attended high school. I have to assume they didn’t. How else do you explain the school year’s very first biology class featuring frog dissections?

At times, Barely Lethal feels like a failed parody. It wants to be funny and can’t expect us to take this story seriously, can it? The execution is just so dreadful you keep waiting for someone to tell you they’re doing it intentionally. The film wants to have it too many different ways and fails at appealing to any audience.

[lostwords-found]

So that last post by Alesis Newman, the one that was locked by "BetterTheNew", was dated January 3 2018. Eight months before her previous post.

The police files on Dr Samuel Webber were dated April 3 2009. Eight months before the date in his journal.

Dr Samuel Webber murdered his ex and then was turned into a tree. We don't know what happened to Alesis Newman's ex before she turned herself into some kind of coral creature, but she was taking bereavement leave at the end. Out of death, something is trying to be born. Or reborn...

...Oh yeah, and let's not even go near this other (lonely, eye-encrusted) rabbithole, let alone down it:

Norris read Dr. Webber's case, about a man who murdered his lover rather than lose her and then was trapped alone in a walled garden, in denial about what he had done and eternally haunted by her voice, with only a small piece of himself remaining aware and perpetually terrified but unable to voice its fear. Cool! Yeah. That's definitely... that's definitely not significant or deeply upsetting in any way.

But Chester... Chester read Alesis Newman's case, about a woman who intentionally destroyed herself in the wake of a lover whom she saw as trying to change her into the person he wanted her to be--and replaced herself with something new and inhuman. Something that has her eyes.

And by post 13, using her paralysis computer, Alesis is writing with her eyes. So is that actually her writing? If it's not, when in that sequence of posts did it stop being her? What does "no longer her" actually mean in this context? Certainly, she's becoming something that the Alesis of eight months earlier, the Alesis of the immediately-deleted fourteenth post, would no longer identify with--if some part of her still existed.

Cool. Yeah. That's definitely not significant... or deeply upsetting... in any way.

OK but I said let's not go down that rabbithole, so let's forget I just said any of that and go back to talking about the post dates, yeah?

Yeah.

So, sometimes some of these cases have some interesting correspondences with TMA statements, so there might be something there. Alesis started that thread, opening up to everyone about her journey to creating a better her, on June 20, 2018. I wonder if there were any TMA statements dated June of 2018?

Case #0181206 (June 12, 2018)

Statement of unknown bystander regarding an encounter with The Archivist.

...Oh.

Okay, well, that's... interesting, but not necessarily meaningful. Let's try this: the last date in her transformation/replacement, the last point where maybe there was still something left of the original "her," was September 3, 2018. Anything interesting happen in TMA in September of 2018?

Case #0182509-A (September 25, 2018)

Original recording of events leading to the disappearances of Jonathan Sims, Martin Blackwood, Alice Tonner and Peter Lukas.

...Ah. Ha. Um. Well, that could also be an interesting coincidence. What about that deleted 14th post that was somehow eight months earlier, back in January? The one with an Alesis who still tried to cry out against the thing she was becoming?

There's nothing in January, but... oh... right.

Case #0170908 (August 7, 2017 )

Statement of Elias Bouchard, regarding the dreams of Jonathan Sims, Head Archivist of the Magnus Institute, currently unresponsive.

...

Case #0181502 (February 15, 2018)

Statement of Oliver Banks, regarding his dreams and trying to run away. Statement given directly to Jonathan Sims, Head Archivist of the Magnus Institute, currently unresponsive.

...January of 2018, Jonathan Sims was in a coma. September of 2018, the Archivist received the final mark that would enable Jonah's ritual.

January through September of 2018 in the world of Protocol, something was trying to be born into a physical form, replacing Alesis Newman.

Cool, I say through gritted teeth. Yeah. That's definitely not significant, or deeply upsetting, in. any. way.

i had this weird half-dream last night (you know, when youre not fully awake but definitely not asleep anymore?), about the apotheosis of jonathan sims, the archivist, and how this sense of Becoming and transformation and absolute change seems to be such an inherent part of the magnus protocol. i cant really explain this coherently because it was not a coherent thought, but there seems to be two intertwining plot threads of culmination and devotion? both in a physical and metaphorical sense.

theres Becoming. new creation. bastardization, if you will. off the top of my head, we see this in ink5oul, in alesis newman, in daria, and samuel webber.

but theres also:

devotion. an unhealthy, uncomfortable dedication. we see this in the new mother, in tom's blog (at least, i can argue for that one), in the gambler's statement.

whats interesting to me, is the way it seems to extend to our main characters, which is what i really cant get out of my head .

notably, its devotion that we're seeing in our characters. sams devotion to the institute, colins obsession with being watched, celia in general. but with that comment sam makes in mag 25,

i wouldnt be surprised if this sort of Becoming happens to one of our main characters.

Carol Diann Johnson was born in the Bronx, New York City, on July 17, 1935, to John Johnson, a subway conductor, and Mabel (Faulk), a nurse. While Carroll was still an infant, the family moved to Harlem, where she grew up except for a brief period in which her parents had left her with an aunt in North Carolina. She attended Music and Art High School, and was a classmate of Billy Dee Williams. In many interviews about her childhood, Carroll recalls her parents' support, and their enrolling her in dance, singing, and modeling classes. By the time Carroll was 15, she was modeling for Ebony. "She also began entering television contests, including Arthur Godfrey's Talent Scouts, under the name Diahann Carroll." After graduating from high school, she attended New York University, where she majored in sociology, "but she left before graduating to pursue a show-business career, promising her family that if the career did not materialize after two years, she would return to college.

Carroll's big break came at the age of 18, when she appeared as a contestant on the DuMont Television Network program, Chance of a Lifetime, hosted by Dennis James. On the show, which aired January 8, 1954, she took the $1,000 top prize for a rendition of the Jerome Kern/Oscar Hammerstein song, "Why Was I Born?" She went on to win the following four weeks. Engagements at Manhattan's Café Society and Latin Quarter, nightclubs soon followed.

Carroll's film debut was a supporting role in Carmen Jones (1954), as a friend to the sultry lead character played by Dorothy Dandridge. That same year, she was nominated for a Tony Award for Best Featured Actress in a Musical for her role in the Broadway musical, House of Flowers. A few years later, she played Clara in the film version of George Gershwin's Porgy and Bess (1959), but her character's singing parts were dubbed by opera singer Loulie Jean Norman. The following year, Carroll made a guest appearance in the series Peter Gunn, in the episode "Sing a Song of Murder" (1960). In the next two years, she starred with Sidney Poitier, Paul Newman, and Joanne Woodward in the film Paris Blues (1961) and won the 1962 Tony Award for Best Actress in a Musical (the first time for a Black woman) for portraying Barbara Woodruff in the Samuel A. Taylor and Richard Rodgers musical No Strings. Twelve years later, she was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Actress for her starring role alongside James Earl Jones in the film Claudine (1974), which part had been written specifically for actress Diana Sands (who had made guest appearances on Julia as Carroll's cousin Sara), but shortly before filming was to begin, Sands learned she was terminally ill with cancer. Sands attempted to carry on with the role, but as filming began, she became too ill to continue and recommended her friend Carroll take over the role. Sands died in September 1973, before the film's release in April 1974.

Carroll is known for her titular role in the television series Julia (1968-71), which made her the first African-American actress to star in her own television series who did not play a domestic worker. That role won her the Golden Globe Award for Best TV Star – Female for its first year, and a nomination for an Primetime Emmy Award in 1969. Some of Carroll's earlier work also included appearances on shows hosted by Johnny Carson, Judy Garland, Merv Griffin, Jack Paar, and Ed Sullivan, and on The Hollywood Palace variety show. In 1984, Carroll joined the nighttime soap opera Dynasty at the end of its fourth season as the mixed-race jet set diva Dominique Deveraux, Blake Carrington's half-sister. Her high-profile role on Dynasty also reunited her with her schoolmate Billy Dee Williams, who briefly played her onscreen husband Brady Lloyd. Carroll remained on the show and made several appearances on its short-lived spin-off, The Colbys until she departed at the end of the seventh season in 1987. In 1989, she began the recurring role of Marion Gilbert in A Different World, for which she received her third Emmy nomination that same year.

In 1991, Carroll portrayed Eleanor Potter, the doting, concerned, and protective wife of Jimmy Potter (portrayed by Chuck Patterson), in the musical drama film The Five Heartbeats (1991), also featuring actor and musician Robert Townsend and Michael Wright. She reunited with Billy Dee Williams again in 1995, portraying his character's wife Mrs. Greyson in Lonesome Dove: The Series. The following year, Carroll starred as the self-loving and deluded silent movie star Norma Desmond in the Canadian production of Andrew Lloyd Webber's musical version of the film Sunset Boulevard. In 2001, Carroll made her animation debut in The Legend of Tarzan, in which she voiced Queen La, ruler of the ancient city of Opar.

In 2006, Carroll appeared in several episodes the television medical drama Grey's Anatomy as Jane Burke, the demanding mother of Dr. Preston Burke. From 2008 to 2014, she appeared on USA Network's series White Collar in the recurring role of June, the savvy widow who rents out her guest room to Neal Caffrey. In 2010, Carroll was featured in UniGlobe Entertainment's breast cancer docudrama titled 1 a Minute and appeared as Nana in two Lifetime movie adaptations of Patricia Cornwell’s novels: At Risk and The Front.

In 2013, Carroll was present on stage at the 65th Primetime Emmy Awards to briefly speak about being the first African-American nominated for a Primetime Emmy Award. She was quoted as saying about Kerry Washington, nominated for Scandal, "She better get this award."

Carroll was a founding member of the Celebrity Action Council, a volunteer group of celebrity women who served the women's outreach of the Los Angeles Mission, working with women in rehabilitation from problems with alcohol, drugs, or prostitution. She helped to form the group along with other female television personalities including Mary Frann, Linda Gray, Donna Mills, and Joan Van Ark.

Carroll was diagnosed with breast cancer in 1997. She said the diagnosis "stunned" her, because there was no family history of breast cancer, and she had always led a healthy lifestyle. She underwent nine weeks of radiation therapy and had been clear for years after the diagnosis. She frequently spoke of the need for early detection and prevention of the disease. She died from cancer at her home in West Hollywood, California, on October 4, 2019, at the age of 84. Carroll also had dementia at the time of her death, though actor Marc Copage, who played her character's son on Julia, said that she did not appear to show serious signs of cognitive decline as late as 2017. A memorial service was held in November 24, 2019, at the Helen Hayes Theater in New York City.

Urban Gothic...

Let's hear it for the urban gothic -- add your tropes & recs!

decaying high rises with mould and rot eating into the residents' souls

eerie, dingy labyrinthine passages & alleys leading to dead ends and hiding dark secrets

echoing corridors of worryingly silent hotels, where human connection is only theoretical and other people are only seen in glimpses, like ghosts

double lives flipping honest, respectable glitz and glamour with seedy underbelly and lies
