Just rewatched a bunch of Frankie Drake episodes & I'm so frustrated. I'm gonna be ranting about the show for a bit so if you want to skip i will tag the posts with 'f d rant'. I will also put most of it below the read more.

I really like almost every character except the titular frankie and her wardrobe/costumes makes me increasingly angry.

Trudy is a gem and I wish she was the focus. She is cunning, adventurous and could honestly run the agency by herself. She does most of the groundwork anyway & has almost all of the important contacts. Also she is gorgeous in anything.

I want more of Flo's backstory and would have really liked an episode focused on her. The other girls had at least one each so I can only assume one was planned for Flo before the show was cancelled. I just like her general vibe and the scenes she is in are always good. A woman studying on her own while holding a job she is passionate about is easy for me to relate to and Flo is a great character with strong loyal ties.

Mary is hilarious and the only thing I wish was different was that Frankie & Trudy included her more or actually gave her information back intead of just taking it from her, often without a thank you until the general 'good-job-everyone' at the episodes end. Sure she is naive and is made fun of by that by the narrative and a lot of the other characters, but she states outright that she's not living in a bubble and tries to make the best choices she has with what she's allowed to know. Considering few people (even her friends!) actually bothers to tell her relevant information in time it's no wonder her actions are sometimes misguided. I have a hard time relating to her cop-behaviour, but it's a strong motivator for her character.

I really love Wendy and she could not show up enough times! Same with Nora. She is a dynamic character that really brings excitement to any scene.

Golly Gee, the Gals Are Back!!!*

2018 IDA Documentary Awards Honor "Minding the Gap," "Mr. SOUL!" and More

The International Documentary Association (IDA) celebrated the winners of its annual awards (the "Oscars" of the documentary world) during a ceremony held on Saturday at the Paramount Theatre in Los Angeles. On the same night it was named the Best Documentary of 2018 by the Chicago Film Critics Association, Bing Liu's debut feature, "Minding the Gap," earned the IDA's highest prize of Best Feature. It's the latest in a series of well-deserved accolades Liu's film has collected ever since premiering at the Sundance Film Festival, where it received the U.S. Documentary Special Jury Award for Breakthrough Filmmaking. It has also been nominated for two major prizes at the the Film Independent Spirit Awards, including Best Documentary Feature. In addition to this top honor, Gordon Quinn, artistic director of Kartemquin Films, joined "If Beale Street Could Talk" director Barry Jenkins in presenting Liu with the IDA's Emerging Filmmaker Award. 

Liu's film explores his bond with longtime friends Zack and Keire, and how they have each grappled with the scars of domestic abuse while skating the near-vacant streets of Rockford, Illinois. Like many serious Oscar contenders this year, "Minding the Gap" was distributed via a streaming service, and can currently be viewed on Hulu. The nine other nominees for Best Feature included Stephen Maing's "Crime + Punishment," a scathing account of the NYPD's illegal practices, which earned the IDA Courage Under Fire Award. Maing brought all twelve of the department's whistleblowers onstage, and was greeted by the audience with a standing ovation. The Career Achievement Award went to filmmaker Julia Reichert, a three-time Oscar nominee for her films "Union Maids," "Seeing Red" and "The Last Truck: Closing of a GM Plant." 

RogerEbert.com publisher Chaz Ebert presented the prize for Best Short Form Series to David Freid's MEL Films. And a film on which Ebert served as an Executive Producer, "Mr. SOUL!", the film about the trailblazing television icon, Ellis Haizlip, directed by Melissa Haizlip, shared the Best Music Documentary prize with Steve Loveridge’s "Matangi/Maya/M.I.A." Ricki Lake, the star of John Waters' original "Hairspray," served as the evening's host. A complete list of the winners can be found below.
