Film Review: Whitney Houston - I Wanna Dance with Somebody ★★★1/2

My head is swimming with Whitney Houston’s incredible back catalogue, and I’m floating on a bittersweet nostalgic cloud, as I step back out on to the streets of New York after a morning screening of Whitney Houston: I Wanna Dance with Somebody. I have that post-concert buzz and feel like I’ve just witnessed a soulful tribute act; a lovingly-crafted and rather intimate celebration of the life of…

[Image description: A digital drawing of Billy Whitney from the film Society. He is the focus of the piece, shown from the shoulders-up. He is looking to the side with a paranoid and scared expression on his face. Sweat is streaming off of him, plastering his hair to his forehead. It is highlighted with an uncannily bright white. This same white is used to colour the kitchen knife he is clutching in his hands, pulling it close to his chest. Above him, there's a close-up drawing of an sickly green apple with a bite taken out of it. The hole left behind is teeming with worms and maggots, dark red in colour. Below the apple, the phrase "all my fears are real" is written. To his other side, there's three panels which show different scenes of fleshy uncertainty. They share the same colours, deep reds and unappealing greens and browns. The only truly clear panel is the first one, which seems to show a face twisted in agony. The lineart is scratchy and unpolished, and a deep brown. There's a lot of stark shadows. The background is a gradient, with a light pink at the bottom and white at the top.]

So I just finished re-watching Misfits and Magic, and I know a lot of people talk about how it's kind of sad that Jammer and Sam don't really have arcs like K and Evan. . . I have thoughts about that. In modern Western cinema, we expect protagonists to have an arc, where they change, grow, learn things and are different people from the beginning of the story to the end. This is most common in movies, and then books. But the thing is we also have a type of protagonist that's more common in TV shows, where the character stays mostly the same, and by doing so they affect the world around them or bring out interesting themes and call out issues in the world, just by being themselves. (Think the crew of the Enterprise in Star Trek TNG.) Misfits and Magic has BOTH of these kinds of characters. K and Evan are movie protagonists. Jammer and Sam are TV show protagonists. And I love that they coexist and both make each other's types of stories stronger. This time around, I really appreciated the constancy of Sam and Jammer, the way they don't really change, but seem to grow more solidly into who they already were at the beginning of the show. They expose the foibles of the world by having the world brush against THEM. They change the world and the characters around them, by staying true to who they are. K and Evan change the world because they are changing themselves. Both kinds of stories are valid, and both kinds of stories are needed.

Another round of ~things~ but more related to Episode 1:

Thing #1: Jammer goes to Roosevelt University. Season 2 is occurring during his Spring Break

Assuming the holiday episode from Season 1 happened in December of 2021, according to Roosevelt University's academic calendar, MisMag Season 2 is possibly happening during the week of March 3rd, 2025

Thing #2: In Episode 1, Jammer said he was planning to just work out during Spring Break

Meaning even if he hadn't gone on the mission for Dr. B., he still wouldn't have gone to Punta Cana to have fun with Aaron and his other teammates...

Thing #3: Dr. Boodle’s history class wasn't part of the curriculum for the Pilot Program during their first term, but Jammer said they'd probably take his class on purpose the next semester because Dr. B. was so cool

Jammer didn't return to Gowpenny after The Lulling, which was at the end of that first term

Jammer never took Dr. Boodle’s class
