LA by Night Season 1 Guest PCs Ranked

Obviously, spoilers for Season 1 of LA by Night

The guests in LA by Night have been fascinating because unlike Critical Role where the guests are playing independent characters that the main cast happens to run into, overwhelmingly the guests here are largely playing NPCs with major plot purposes. I think I kind of like this way of doing it better. But LA by Night and Critical Role have very different narrative styles and this makes sense.

So, let’s talk about the guest characters! This gets long, so the whole thing below the cut.

In ascending order by love:

Diane (Kelly Lynne D’Angelo): Look, Diane is here for one purpose and one purpose only: for Chloe to have someone to talk to. She serves this purpose beautifully, but that doesn’t mean she’s interesting (although Jasper’s reactions to her and Juan are gold).

Strikes a Chord (Jason Charles Miller): Of course, Jason Charles Miller was going to be a werewolf. The man is probably an actual werewolf! That said, he’s in one of the weakest episodes of the season (saved only by excellent openings and closings) and Strikes a Chord ... doesn’t do much. This is the guest PC that feels the most like a random new player wandering in instead of having a solid story purpose.

Ramona (Bex Taylor-Klaus): I like Ramona, but, as a guest PC, she’s just there to provide a face for a quick interaction. *shrug*

Ib (Noura Ibraham): I’ll admit to liking Ib more as a background NPC, but I was intrigued by the different side of things that we got to see. We gained more insight into ghouls and Noura brought some (if not needed, then fascinating) emotion to the part. (I’ll also say that Victor’s reactions to Ib’s emotions gave some interesting insight into his own discomforts).

Carver (Taliesin Jaffe): A very interesting character and one I have assume we’ll see more of. We start out thinking he’s a bad guy because he turned Annabelle--and those scenes are really painted as Annabelle confronting trauma in an intense way--but that turns out to be wrong: he turned her, but only to save her after she was killed by another vampire. Fun, but he seems more destined for future greatness.

Miranda (Satine Phoenix): Look, Miranda is largely a plot device, but ... she’s getting extra points just for toying with Annabelle.

Victoria Ash (Jessica Chobot): Although I wasn’t thrilled by Jessica Chobot’s performance, Victoria Ash is something else. She is a perfect counterpoint to the cast, showing us just how dismissive of humans a vampire can be. The slaughter she orders is ... intense.

Gregory Demetrios (Vince Caso): Look, I just like this guy’s bluster in the face of the complete failure that constitutes his life.

Chloe (Becca Scott): I mean, it’s not necessary her appearance that’s so enticing, but the impact she has well out weighs the banality of her scene. The moment when she gets the note is heartbreaking and there’s a real question left hanging in the air of whether things will just end with that note.

Ellenore (Marisha Ray): I knew Marisha showed up and, well, she’s my favorite from Critical Role, so .... This was just so emotional and I loved the connection that was shown between El and Annabelle. But I also like the way that she put pressure on Annabelle to make a choice about her life by making it clear that she was willing to be turned.

Chaz Prince (Mark Meers): Well, holy shit. The second episode comes along and Mark Meers just slides in and starts chewing the scenery. Fantastic! Chaz is so wonderfully punchable, but also starts to throw some light on Nelli and introduces a nice thread that I hope they actually follow up on: namely, abusive relationships.

X (Xander Jeanneret): X is probably the funniest past of LA by Night. He’s so perfectly played by Xander as a cracked mind, but he also feels comfortable and honest, which is probably why he’s one of the few vampires that Annabelle would ever listen to ... which makes his reality check to Annabelle in the epilogue all the more powerful. X isn’t challenging Annabelle because he feels like he had a responsibility or because he feels like he’s delivery “a truth.” No, he’s telling her that they are monsters and that they have to accept that because he likes her.

Fiona (Ash Minnick): Look, X is the most entertaining, but Fiona? Fiona is just a beast of a vampire and there is great joy in seeing her constantly poking and looking down on Victor. She consistently out Ventrues Victor and it is delightful. Also, she is absolutely immoral and she presents a fantastic contrast to the regular cast who, for all their flaws, have tried to find at least the semblance of peaceful coexistence. For all her smarts, Fiona is a predator and she would end anyone who gets in her way and has. It’s just a beautiful performance.

Note

this is one of the nuttiest weeks in comics in awhile, what're you pulling and what are your thoughts?

Having missed Daredevil, Peter Cannon: Thunderbolt, and The Wild Storm for now, a situation hopefully to be rectified this weekend, and knowing there are profound spoilers ahead:

Superman: Leviathan Rising #1: SUPERMAN AND JIMMY OLSEN, OUR FAVORITE GOOD TIME PARTY BOYS. This was the embodiment of ‘inject it into my veins’ comics, even with that disconnected, pointless Supergirl section, which still at least assured me that I’m not missing out on anything in her book right now. Otherwise? Superman sucks at acting, because acting is lying! Lois giving Batman the business! 4-QQ&BE4J*O(@NX!

Heroes in Crisis #9: This…ended about as well as it possibly could, I suppose, and I do actually mean that as a compliment, but that only matters so much. I probably actually did like more individual issues of this than I disliked, but the basic concept behind the mystery once it unfolds is a needlessly destructive one for the character in question, King’s dialogue quirks ran away with him, the pacing was shot, Mann showed his ass in some rough ways, and so much of it reads like King completing a mandate. There were moments of grace - the final page of confessionals has the funniest panel of King’s career - that mean I’ll absolutely reread this at some point, but on the whole, it can at last be set in stone that this was Tom King’s first and hopefully last major failure.

Detective Comics Annual #2: Haven’t been getting Tomasi’s Detective, but the preview made it look like it was going to be his best effort in some time. It was, but not enough for me to be interested in the arc this is setting up for down the line.

Fantastic Four #10: I really thought I’d drop this after the first tepid arc, but while I’m ditching Iron Man, Slott’s been acquitting himself admirably here recently, and Paco Medina’s art is always a treat.

Thor #13: There’s little in this issue that isn’t rote and obvious, but that doesn’t mean it isn’t good as hell.

War of the Realms: War Scrolls #2: There’s a panel in the first part where Daredevil’s legs are hella weird, but the Strange story was nice and that Loki/Wiccan/Hulkling story that’s been taking the internet by storm was indeed pretty nice.

The Magnificent Ms. Marvel #3: This doesn’t have the spark that Ahmed’s work right now on Miles possesses - I’m not even positive I’ll finish this first arc - but it’s a decently charming page-turner and I could see it ending up grabbing me down the line.

The Immortal Hulk #18: It’s genuinely astonishing that this is still capable of freaking me the fuck out, but good goddamn.

Doomsday Clock #10: As I said on Twitter, this was the dopiest, most lowest-common-denominator fanboy-pandering shit in the world, and let me tell you: I’m that lowest common denominator, babeyyyy. Is it good now? Far from it. But it’s becoming almost exactly the comic I feel like it probably should have been all along, and not even just because it’s basically 30 pages of big daddy Geoff petting my head and whispering “shh, shh, it’s okay, your favorite character is still the most important and always will be no matter how bad we fuck up, we promise Morrison Action still kinda matters, shhhhhh”. It’s to its weird credit that the issue that was definitely 100% conceived as ‘the continuity dump’ ends up the only one that says much of substance about anything, even if it’s just that Superman’s important; the book should have been meta all along, and now it’s straight-up calling the main DCU the Metaverse in reference to how it’s always changing in reference to our own real world. And this definitely has the most moments of odd magic previous issues sporadically managed of classic, goofy and/or corny superhero moments taking on an almost totemic degree of weight and power in this bizarre context. Just have Manhattan in some way acknowledge how Superman fundamentally affected his own world too, and I’ll be able to rest easy that this lovely abomination lived up to his full potential in the context of being a dopey Geoff Johns comic.

(My unearned enthusiasm aside though: I don’t think it’s really come up in Doomsday Clock criticism that I’ve seen, but it should probably be talked about that it shares big daddy Watchmen’s I *think* well-meaning but regardless unpleasant relationship with queerness. And Watchmen’s issues, while present, are illuminated by time: my impression was that by 80s cape comics standards it was majorly progressive. Doomsday Clock…clearly doesn’t mean any harm, but actually comes up notably shorter than even its predecessor? While also making its queerness much more important to the plot than Watchmen ever did yet not really doing anything with that but using it as a delivery mechanism for Plot, the latter in this issue coming fundamentally bundled with what makes the former uncomfortable? However you slice it, this is a comic where gay and trans people exist, but only a long time ago as something that was shamed, however much the story frames that as a bad thing. And on a related note: is Carver Coleman supposed to be a George Reeves analogue of sorts? Co-star of the Superman-centric issue, bad relationship with his mother, died under mysterious circumstances in the 50s? Perhaps it’ll be clearer when that thread wraps up; maybe I’m the dope, but I still haven’t picked up on the thematic significance of his story or Nathaniel Dusk’s yet.)

Batman: Last Knight on Earth #1: So on top of everything else, it is buck wild that Snyder and Capullo’s take on the final Batman story isn’t a disconnected-from-continuity, archetypal, ‘timeless’ tale like All-Star Superman or The Dark Knight Returns, but explicitly a bad ending AU for Snyder’s own current Justice League run. What matters more than where it’s situated though is what it is: in the words of Mark Stack, this book is a chainsaw. It kicks off with what seems the prelude to the sort of traditional ending this isn’t, swerves into the dumb memey version that everyone on the internet has seen (including clearly the creators of this comic) which Batman defeats, and then it stands revealed in truth as the MOST Scott Snyder and Greg Capullo version of a last Batman adventure imaginable. It’s clones and purple super lightning and toytowns and mad alien light babies and Joker’s head in a jar telling dirty rhymes (easily Snyder’s best take on him to date) and a wayfaring quest to save a world that’s chosen to die, and this is the prelude. I couldn’t be more into it, especially as the ample production time and physical space gives this a much more assured pace than Snyder’s had anywhere else in recent memory, and I could honestly imagine this ending up as my favorite out of the pair’s Batman joints by the time it’s through, the ultimate distillation of their take on him and their joint aesthetic.

Also, unlikely as it is, I think there is a better than zero chance that Omega is Jarro. A mind-controlling disciple of Batman in a story spinning out of current Justice League? Would that really, really be too weird to fit, nevermind that making Starro the final villain of the DCU he in a very real way created?

Look Ahead: December 2017

All the Money in the World

One of the most hotly discussed films of the month has to be Ridley Scott’s All the Money in the World. Telling the story of the kidnapping and mutilation of John Paul Getty III in an attempt to extract money from his grandfather J. Paul Getty, All the Money in the World was originally set to feature Kevin Spacey as Getty. However, after the recent report regarding his sexual assault allegations came out, Scott went back to filming, replaced Spacey with Christopher Plummer, and re-edited the film in anticipation of its December release. An ambitious and commendable choice - especially considering the likely financial implications of releasing it with Spacey so soon after the allegations - it is hard to not admire the effort that has gone into All the Money in the World. This was one that, with Spacey, I was really looking forward to and now, it is easily one of my most anticipated of the month. Over the past decade, Scott has certainly been rather hit-and-miss, but his much of his true story work (namely Black Hawk Down and American Gangster) rank among his very best. If All the Money in the World can come close to the quality of those two films, it should be one of the better films in a crowded December.

Set for wide release on December 25, All the Money in the World stars Michelle Williams, Mark Wahlberg, and Charlie Plummer, alongside the newly cast Christopher Plummer.

The Disaster Artist

Thus far in his directorial career, James Franco has directed 12 films. That may come as a surprise to many and it should, but it should also not peak any curiosity. Of these are a few documentary films, a few William Faulkner/Cormac McCarthy/John Steinbeck adaptations, a few docufiction films, a comedy, and a co-directed horror film, all of which are horrible. Frequently, his work is called “pretentious”, “self-indulgent”, or just derided as being outright bad. Thus, it may seem all too appropriate that Franco’s first good film as a director is about the process behind making the worst film ever made by a man somehow more self-indulgent than Franco himself. It should not be a surprise that Franco knows how to capture the delusional process behind making such a bad film, considering his intimate knowledge of the process as both an actor and a director. In The Disaster Artist, Franco takes the insanity behind the cult film The Room and brings it to life alongside many of his regular collaborators. Of all of the Awards fare this year, The Disaster Artist seems primed to be the strongest box office success considering Franco’s general comedy appeal and the popularity of The Room among key demographics (read: young people 18-40). While unlikely to be the film to turn around Franco’s directorial career, The Disaster Artist nonetheless promises to be one of the funnier looks at show business in this decade.

Appearing alongside Franco (who stars as Tommy Wiseau) are many of his usual collaborators including Seth Rogen and Dave Franco, as well as Alison Brie, Zac Efron, Jacki Weaver, Josh Hutcherson, Hannibal Buress, Sharon Stone, Melanie Griffith, Jason Mitchell, Paul Scheer, Jason Mantzoukas, Zoey Deutch, Christopher Mintz-Plasse, Ari Graynor, and Bob Odenkirk. The film is set was released on a limited basis last week with its initial wide release set for December 8. This release was set to be wider as of earlier this week, but was scaled back, likely in favor of a slower rollout. Thus, look for the film to continue expanding throughout December.

Downsizing

Though having received rather divisive reviews - seems very love it or hate it thus far - Alexander Payne’s Downsizing is a film that is hard to not be excited about, solely because it a film by Payne. The seventh film he has directed, Downsizing represents the first mixed reception of his career of hits, though Downsizing was nonetheless nominated for Best Film by the National Board of Review. A science fiction film about a world in which people can opt to “downsize” or shrink to a tiny fraction of their typical size, Downsizing seems to be one of the weirder original films of the year. It seems to be very existential in theme while being rather eccentric with its comedy. In seeing the promotional material for the film, it is not hard to see why Downsizing is so divisive, considering how odd its premise and execution appears to be. However, for those who appreciate original films, Downsizing appears to be a must-watch.

Set for a wide release on December 22, Downsizing stars Matt Damon, Kristen Wiig, Jason Sudeikis, Christoph Waltz, and Hong Chau.

Hostiles

It should come as no surprise that director Scott Cooper’s last film, Hostiles, is a gritty western. Having made gritty films his entire career, namely Out of the Furnace and Black Mass, it is not a shock to see Cooper try his hand at a classically styled western that appears to be very much in the same style as films by John Ford or Howard Hawks in the 1940s. Telling the story of a US calvary soldier who is escorting a Cheyenne war chief and his family to Montana, Hostiles stars Christian Bale and Wes Studi in the two roles, respectively. In his career thus far, Cooper has received some criticism for being a better writer and actor’s director than being a talented director overall, but even if true, what is certain is that his films always contain some of the year’s finest performances, whether it be Jeff Bridges in Crazy Heart, Bale in Out of the Furnace, or Johnny Depp in Black Mass. Here, Hostiles seems to be yet another example of Cooper’s ability in writing great characters and eliciting strong performances from his cast, making Hostiles a film that, for fans of great acting or of westerns, is a must-watch. The genre has received the boon in recent times amid cinemagoers openly wondering where the western genre had gone with Hostiles being yet another sign of this return to the western genre for Hollywood.

Set for a limited release on December 22, Hostiles also stars Rosamund Pike, Q’orianka Kilcher, Ben Foster, Rory Cochrane, Adam Beach, Jesse Plemons, and Timothee Chalamet.

I, Tonya

Other than Lars and the Real Girl in 2007, director Craig Gillespie has largely had a middling career thus far. None of his films are outright awful, but most are just passable or mediocre. With his latest film, however, he seems to have struck the right chord with rave reviews coming in for I, Tonya. What, on the surface, could have been a typical biopic is instead changed into a black comedy look at the life of Tonya Harding, a figure skater who quickly became a pariah to the American public only to compound the issue by hiring a man to break the leg of fellow figure skater Nancy Kerrigan. Starring Margot Robbie as Harding, the film is seen as being a chance for Robbie to get her hands on Oscar gold alongside Allison Janney, who appears as Harding’s mother. Though biopics are often decried by audiences as being too safe or being “Oscar bait”, it appears as though I, Tonya is anything but, instead taking a far rougher approach to the story of Harding with a smart balance between comedy and tragedy.

Alongside Robbie and Janney, McKenna Grace, Sebastian Stan, Julianne Nicholson, Caroline Carver, and Bobby Cannavale, appear in the film. I, Tonya will have a limited release this weekend, December 8, before embarking upon a wider release over the coming weeks.

Molly’s Game

The directorial debut of famed screenwriter Aaron Sorkin - who wrote The American President, The West Wing, The Social Network, and Steve Jobs, among others - Molly’s Game is a film that tells the story of Molly Bloom. A crime film that details Bloom’s efforts in running a high-stakes underground poker game that attracts celebrities, athletes, businessmen, and members of the Russian mafia, while eventually earns her attention from the FBI, Molly’s Game has thus far received rave reviews. Starring Jessica Chastain in the leading role, the character of Bloom seems to be the perfect role for Chastain considering her inclination towards playing headstrong, determined, and tough-as-nails female characters. While Sorkin penning a script is always an assurance that the film will have a great script, Molly’s Game will serve as a test as to whether or not Sorkin can handle the task of bringing his script to life in the director’s chair.

The film is set for a limited release on Christmas before expanding on January 5. Beyond star Chastain, Molly’s Game features Idris Elba, Kevin Costner, Brian d’Arcy James, Chris O’Dowd, and Michael Cera.

Phantom Thread

With films such as Hard Eight, Boogie Nights, Punch-Drunk Love, and There Will Be Blood, director Paul Thomas Anderson established himself as one of the finest directors working in Hollywood today with strong appeal with audiences. However, after The Master and Inherent Vice, Anderson began to divide audiences and critics with those films slower pace and general incoherence. Though I personally loved both, it is fair to call both - The Master with audiences and Inherent Vice with both critics and audiences - quite divisive. Now, with Phantom Thread, Anderson seems likely to further alienate audiences while appealing to critics in a film set in New York’s fashion world. A slow-paced period drama that has received rave reviews from critics, Phantom Thread is also seen as being a film that could net Daniel Day-Lewis another shot at Oscar gold in what will, allegedly, be his final role before another retirement. Without having seen the film, it does appear as though Phantom Thread’s plot is somewhat of a mystery beyond it focusing on a fashion designer, portrayed by Day-Lewis, who lives a meticulous life and rises to great status in the fashion world only to have his life thrown into disarray when he finally falls in love with a woman.

The film is set for a limited release on Christmas before a wide expansion in 2018. Alongside Day-Lewis, Phantom Thread also stars Vicky Krieps, Lesley Manville, and Richard Graham.

The Post

A film about the efforts of the Washington Post in releasing the Pentagon Papers while fighting with President Nixon, starring Tom Hanks and Meryl Streep, and directed by Steven Spielberg, there was no way that The Post would not become one of the year’s most acclaimed films. Timely, obviously intended to compare Nixon and Trump’s issues with the press, and a celebration of the freedom of the press in America, The Post is one of those films that, when nominated for Best Picture, will be maligned by audiences in the midwest and celebrated by those on the coasts. As a film in the vein of All the President’s Men or Spotlight, however, The Post certainly has the chance to be a Best Picture winner while also being a greatly entertaining look inside the world of dirty politics and newspaper reporting.

The Post will be released on a limited basis on December 22 before expanding nationwide on January 12. The film, obviously, features an A-list cast alongside Hanks and Streep. This cast includes Bob Odenkirk, Sarah Paulson, Tracy Letts, Bradley Whitford, Bruce Greenwood, Matthew Rhys, Alison Brie, Jesse Plemons, and Michael Stuhlbarg.

The Shape of Water

Of all the films coming out in December, The Shape of Water is easily my most anticipated. Through films such as Cronos, The Devil’s Backbone, Pan’s Labyrinth, and Crimson Peak, director Guillermo del Toro has established himself as one of the finest directors working today. Seemingly be in line with his past work in regards to being a film that uses a war (this time the Cold War) as a thematic backdrop to the events going on in the film, The Shape of Water shows the efforts of a mute woman who attempts to rescue an amphibious creature discovered and abused by the military. Alongside the film Maudie, the film has earned star Sally Hawkins considerable praise while being championed as Del Toro’s best work since 2006’s Pan’s Labyrinth. Though the trailer may look a bit conventional, it is easy to say that Del Toro’s film are hardly ever conventional and are often misrepresented by trailers (such as positioning Crimson Peak as a horror film even though it was a gothic romance). Based on responses to the film thus far, it is easy to see The Shape of Water going down as one of the finest films released in 2017.

Having received a limited release last weekend, December 1, The Shape of Water expanded this week and will continue to expand before a nationwide release on December 22. Beyond Hawkins, the film stars Doug Jones, Michael Shannon, Octavia Spencer, Michael Stuhlbarg, and Richard Jenkins.

Wonder Wheel

The allegations against Woody Allen are well known - and even divide his family with some taking his side and others siding with ex Mia - but none of that has stopped Allen’s latest film Wonder Wheel from being released this month by Amazon. While his allegations are certainly more hotly discussed than others, it is nonetheless surprising that Amazon would opt to go ahead with the film’s release. However, as a fan of Allen’s work, I more than welcome the release of Wonder Wheel. Though receiving mixed reviews like much of his recent output, Wonder Wheel is a film that seems to be a very Allen film with similar characters and themes to his past work, thus fans of his will certainly find a lot to enjoy with Wonder Wheel. Set in Coney Island, the film follows a woman who is married to a carousel operator and in love with another man who is a lifeguard. When her husband’s daughter comes home - with the mafia after her - and also falls for the lifeguard, tensions flare. Labeled as a crime drama, Wonder Wheel is likely to also feature a healthy helping of Allen’s typical neurotic humor.

Released on a limited basis on December 1, Amazon is likely to play it safe with Wonder Wheel with a rather limited expansion in light of the rising tide of allegations in Hollywood given Allen’s history. Wonder Wheel stars Kate Winslet, Jim Belushi, Juno Temple, and Justin Timberlake.

Others of note:

As is often the case, December is quite the busy month as the above demonstrates, however, with so many releases coming out, it is impossible to cover each. Among other upcoming films that are worth keeping an eye is Michael Haneke’s Happy End. Known for films such as Funny Games, The Piano Teacher, and Amour, the Austrian director’s latest film has been more divisive than usual, but should nonetheless appeal to love of foreign films. Isabelle Huppert stars in the film. Additionally, for fans of old Hollywood, the upcoming film Film Stars Don’t Die in Liverpool stars Annette Bening as Gloria Grahame and the relationship she formed later on her in life with Peter Turner, who is played by Jamie Bell. Director Paul McGuigan’s career has certainly be more miss than hit thus far, but Film Stars Don’t Die in Liverpool’s has received quite the strong response thus far.

With recent films such as Lady Bird or the new release The Disaster Artist, it is hard to blame indie studio for seemingly forgetting about The Ballad of Lefty Brown, though it is certainly unfortunate. Starring Bill Pullman, Jim Caviezel, Peter Fonda, Kathy Baker, and Tommy Flanagan, the film is a western and will be released by A24 in theaters and given a simultaneous on-demand release through DirecTV. Finally, The Greatest Showman, a musical biopic about P.T. Barnum and starring Hugh Jackman, comes out this month. Featuring lyrics by the lyricists from La La Land, The Greatest Showman is being marketed in such a way that it is clear the studio hopes to draw in fans of last year’s big musical hit. With a cast that also includes Zac Efron, Michelle Williams, Rebecca Ferguson, and Zendaya, it is easy to see 20th Century Fox’s attempt to turn this into a box office smash for the holiday season, though current predictions seem to suggest it will take a backseat to the multitude of other holiday releases this month.

Of these films, The Greatest Showman is the only one that will receive a nationwide release initially, which is set for December 20. The Ballad of Left Brown, Happy End, and Film Stars Don’t Die in Liverpool will be given limited releases on December 15, 22, and 29, respectively.

Cont. from @wingsandahalo || Anakin & Scott (x)

Scott sighed, because the reality was, he didn’t know. This job was his everything, it was what he had always dreamt of and now he was having the chance to live out that dream. But he also wanted them to be like any other couple, walking together in public without fearing how someone would look at him, without worrying if he would start getting less work.

“I guess... Right now, as much as it takes. But just because I’m willing to, doesn’t mean I want to.”
