Words on Bathroom Walls
Tumblr media
Movies watched in 2023
Words on Bathroom Walls (2020, USA)
Director: Thor Freudenthal
Writer: Nick Naveda
Mini-review:
I was a bit worried before watching this movie, because most films don't know how to handle the topic of schizophrenia at all. Still, I really like both lead actors, so I decided to give it a chance and I'm glad I did. I think the movie treats this illness with great respect, as it tries to put the focus on the issues and problems the people suffering from it have to deal with, instead of glorifying or romanticizing the whole thing. It also adds the right amount of humor to the story, so that's it's not too grim, but not too lighthearted either. Sure, sometimes it's a little bit cheesy, but I think it makes the movie feel very charming. The two leads, Charlie Plummer and Taylor Russell, give brilliant performances. They perfectly capture that natural awkwardness that teenagers usually exude, and they have great chemistry too. Plummer in particular has a couple of really, really good monologues/speeches. They are very emotional, and he makes sure they never sound preachy or phony.
To sum up, Words on Bathroom Walls is a surprisingly respectful movie that sensitively tackles some pretty serious issues.

Percy Jackson: Sea of Monsters (2013)
Tumblr media
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...
The Percy Jackson series got off to a wobbly start but a sequel had every opportunity to expand on what worked and ditch the rest. Now that we’d gotten over all the introductions, we’d be able to dig in properly. Maybe we could explore a more complicated story, get to know the characters better and see them grow the way the heroes in the Harry Potter series did with each subsequent chapter. Unfortunately, your hopes for Percy Jackson: Sea of Monsters are dashed away by Marc Guggenheim's terrible screenplay. By the time it gets to a conclusion that promises “we’ve got even more coming in the third one!” you want to tell it not to bother.
Tumblr media
Set some time after the events of the first movie, Percy Jackson (Logan Lerman) is the son of Poseidon, a demi-god who trains at Camp Half-Blood with the sons and daughters of the Greek Pantheon. His best friends are Grover (Brandon T. Jackson), a satyr, and Annabeth (Alexandra Daddario), the daughter of Athena. When the magical tree that protects the camp from attacks begins to die, the trio chooses to defy their elders’ orders and go on a quest to save it. To do so, they must travel to the Sea of Monsters and recover the Golden Fleece. Tagging along is Percy’s newly-discovered half-brother, a cyclops named Tyson (Douglas Smith). While Percy wonders if he’s up to the task or simply a one-quest wonder, the cyclops’ presence worries Annabeth.
The problems are immediately recognizable. Percy worries he’s not the hero of legend because he’s only saved the world once? How can anyone relate to his “woe is me” attitude? Similarly, Annabeth not trusting Tyson just doesn’t feel right. It’s pretty obvious her aversion to the one-eyed dummy stems from some past traumatic experience but the film fails to make us understand why she’s all secretive about it. We see cyclopses act villainous but those are big, adult ones that tower over our heroes. Will Tyson even grow up to be that size? He seems too stupid to pose any threat. She simply comes off as racist.
It begins on the wrong foot and from there, things don’t get much better. We learn of a prophecy. We're told a child of the three elder gods will either save Olympus, or destroy it (what’s the alternative?) while battling with Luke Castellan (Jake Abel), the villainous son of Hermes that served as the antagonist of the previous film. I could’ve sworn he was dead, but sure. Now I know what you’re thinking. Hmm. What a coincidence. Didn't we just meet a new son of Poseidon mere moments ago? I won’t say too much but let's put it this way. This is a baaaad screenplay that makes obvious mistakes. Tyson’s part in this story is one of them.
As our heroes travel outside of Camp Half-Blood, they obviously have to travel inconspicuously among Muggles, which means they have to disguise Tyson using a magic potion… that Annabeth brought along with her for no reason? Their means of travel is a discount-version of the Night Bus from Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban and the price of admission is a torrent of horrible jokes the film thinks are really funny. You tolerate them, always reminding yourself of that titular Sea of Monsters. "Once we get there, things will turn around." I’ve got some bad news for you. There aren’t a whole lot of monsters in this movie and when we encounter them, they’re kraken-sized disappointments. Every confrontation between the heroes and the villains feels like a piece of cake. At least the special effects are pretty good but this whole adventure feels like it’s missing something.
Percy Jackson: Sea of Monsters is nothing more than a knockoff of the Harry Potter films. Whether this is the case with the books as well I can’t tell but if it was implied with the last film, it’s cripplingly obvious here. Percy Jackson 2 puts all of its weight on familiar tropes and plot threads like its left leg’s just been chopped off. It can’t even manage to do that right. Numerous plot threads and characters are introduced and given no purpose. This film's intended audience is too smart to fall for such a lacklustre sequel. (February 14, 2020)

Jess Watches // Tues 20 Feb // Day 148 Synopses & Favourite Scenes & Poll
The Expanse (rw with mum) 2x13 Caliban's War (s2 Finale)
In the final episode of this season, the crew of the Rocinante comes face to face with an evolving intelligence infused with the alien protomatter.
So many beautiful shots this episode: Prax through the circle of plants, the space walk, Amos's naked torso, Bobbie nearly getting squished by an elevator, the venus protomolecule tearing apart that research vessel, the protomolecule kid getting nuked. A kiss on the forehead for director Thor Freudenthal.
Reservation Dogs 3x08 Send It
The gang gets interrogated.
"Brother... and you are my brother... I can't let these kids take the heat. They're good kids. 'Cause that's what we do. We show up for each other. We're a community. You know that. Some we like, some we don't. Some borrow money. A lot. We hold each other accountable. And sometimes we take the heat. But it's all in service of each other. All of us."
Star Trek: Prodigy 1x04 Dream Catcher
The crew has their first away mission on an undiscovered planet that manifests their deepest desires, only to realize the planet has desires of its own.
Dal still being recklessly immature smh but Rok just wanted someone to love and appreciate her 😭 I think Gwyn radiates Big Sister energy so I hope they get more scenes together.

 "Your attacker has sought to take your free will. Your individuality. Your spirit, everything that makes you who you are. When facing an attack like this, it's easy to feel hopeless. We retreat, we lose our strength, we lose ourselves. I know. I lost everything when I was young. When I first landed on this planet, I was sad and alone. But I found out that there is so much love in this world, out there for the taking. And you, the people of National City, you helped me. You let me be who I'm meant to be. You gave me back to myself. You made me stronger than I ever thought possible, and I love you for that. Now, in each and every one of you, there is a light, a spirit that cannot be snuffed out. That won't give up. I need your help again. I need you to hope. Hope... that you will remember that you can all be heroes. Hope... that when faced with an enemy determined to destroy your spirit, you will fight back and thrive. Hope... that those who once may have shunned you will, in a moment of crisis, come to your aid. Hope... that you will see again the faces of those you love. And perhaps even those you've lost."

It's not even about some dusty old books that got a lonely kid through childhood. It's about one noble idea-- that we can all stand up for what's right, no matter what. And I can't walk away from that."

"I didn't make those sacrifices for a reward, Thea. I did what I did because I thought it was right. And seeing all of this, it has just—it has shown me that there is still so much more to do, so please... I'm begging you to come with me because I cannot do it alone."

"One night... something just came into our house, like a tornado. A blur. Somewhere inside the blur, I saw a person. My dad went to fight it. I tried to get 'em when suddenly... I was 20 blocks away from our house. Nobody believed me. They thought I was trying to cover for my father. But what I saw that night was real. As real as the man that ripped down that metal door with his bare hands. That's why I look into cases like this. The ones nobody believes are possible. Maybe if I can just make sense of one, I might be able to find out who really killed my mother. And free my dad. I am sorry I lied to you. Better find another plus one." "He did lie about who he really was." "And what do we do every day?"
 "I know I called you a murderer, but you are not. You are a hero. You beat the island. You beat my father. So fight, Oliver. Get up and fight back."
 6.      Resist / Nevertheless, she Persisted (Supergirl 2.21/22)
Tumblr media Tumblr media
41/42, Written by: Derek Simon, Jessica Queller, Andrew Kreisberg, Robert Rovner, Caitlin Parrish, Directed by: Milicent Shelton, Glen Winter
 "Good evening National City, it's Cat Grant. Yes, I've been away for a while but I'm back. Now I can imagine that you're feeling afraid and feeling like your world is spinning out of control but, believe me, you have power and right now you have a job to do: resist. Resist these invaders with everything you've got. They come with empty promises and closed fists. They promise to make our world great again and yet they know nothing about the people that make this world great. They think they can con us and if that doesn't work, what, they're going to beat us into submission? They have no idea what they're up against. Aliens and humans, we need to band together and we need to stand up and fight back. Everyone needs to be a superhero. Everyone needs to get up and say, 'Not in my house.' Let's prove to these thugs that we're strong and we're united and we're not going to be conquered. And Tiara Woman, if you and your minions happen to be listening, you have come to the wrong town. Yeah, I'm Cat Grant, not going anywhere."
 "Now see, the thing that make women strong is that we have the guts to be vulnerable. We have the ability to feel the depths of our emotion and we know that we will walk through it to the other side. And by the way, you have accomplished great things this year. Your articles: 'Slaver's Moon', 'Alien Registry', 'Alien Fight Club'. I mean, it's all very powerful. And your prose, your prose is not bad. I mean it's not great, but it's not bad."
 5.      Reset (Arrow 8x6)
Tumblr media
166, Written by: Onalee Hunter Hughes, Maya Houston, Directed by: David Ramsey
"Oliver, I've seen one daughter die and come back to life twice. I've seen another come from some other Earth. I've seen a guy in red run so fast he can reverse time. This is not exactly outside the norm, is it? Also, I'm done learning my lesson about doubting you because that always bites me in the ass."
4.      Fast Enough (The Flash 1x23)
Tumblr media
23, Written By: Greg Berlanti, Andrew Kreisberg, Gabrielle Stanton, Directed By: Dermott Downs
 "You will have a father - your real father. Wells has messed with our lives long enough. This is why you became The Flash, Barry. To put things right. You saved a lot of people's lives this past year. Now it's time to save yours."
 3.      The Faithful (Supergirl 3x4)
Tumblr media
46, Written By: Paula Yoo, Katie Rose Rogers, Directed by: Jesse Warn
 "I can fight so many things but I don't know how to fight someone with belief. He's blinded by faith."
