Black Panther Live: Philadelphia Orchestra
Tumblr media
Five thoughts on a fabulous Sunday afternoon with the orchestra at the Kimmel Center in downtown Philadelphia
The Kimmel Center is a wonderful place to hear the orchestra, but needs a larger movie screen. So much was wonderful about the experience of seeing Ryan Coogler’s 2018 film, which remains one of the high-water marks of the entire MCU, accompanied by the Philadelphia Orchestra, one of the world’s finest ensembles, along with world-renowned tama “living drum” master, Massamba Diop, that the one glaring downside  —  the Kimmel’s movie screen feels more than a tad small for the space its filling  — stood out. The acoustics are grand, the seats comfortable, the space itself inviting and spectacular, so the lone weak link in the production was the screen, dwarfed, as it was, by everything else around it. It certainly wasn’t a deal-breaker by any means, but one could easily see how much more impact a larger image might have on the whole enterprise. I understand it’s not something the Kimmel does on a very regular basis, but still well worth looking into. 
The film has aged powerfully, if not steeped in the tragic. There is much to love about Coogler’s film  —  so many scenes one could look forward to with anticipatory glee  — but every scene, even the goofy camaraderie between T’Challa (Chadwick Boseman) and his kid sister, Shuri (Letitia Wright)  —  becomes shaded in somber tones due to Boseman’s tragic death back in 2020. It’s difficult to watch the film, even as joyful an expression of multiculturalism as it is, and not feel the weight of that loss (very much well-covered in the film’s sequel, Wakanda Forever, in which the loss of Boseman permeates every moment). All leading roles are designed to be central to a film’s focus, but Boseman’s generous warmth and decency powers the entire operation in such a way that you can’t imagine anyone else in the role (as evidenced in the sequel’s difficulty in trying to fill the Panther’s be-clawed boots). As good as Coogler’s film is  —  and, in the writing and storytelling, specifically, it’s among the very best of the MCU  —  it doesn’t work half as well without Boseman’s presence. I spent much of the film’s first act with tears welling in my eyes. He remains a tremendous loss. 
Andy Serkis’ Ulysses Klaue is a fabulous villain, but Killmonger remains king. If the MCU indeed has a #villainproblem, Panther managed to offer not one great baddie, but two, and for totally different reasons. It’s easy to hate Klaue  —  a gregarious mercenary, filled with evil bonhomie and ruthless skullduggery (helpful that Serkis himself appears to be having such a blast in the role), who makes his nefarious living stealing precious items and selling them to the highest bidder, the world be damned  —  but Michael B. Jordan’s Killmonger is a whole other story. Ruthless, brutal, and terrifyingly focused, he is, as Martin Freeman’s character Agent Ross informs us, doing things exactly as he’s been trained to by the U.S. military black ops division. Killmonger’s point, that after centuries of suffering, it’s time for the racial hierarchy to be upended with black people on top, actually makes perfect sense, in any sort of just world, even if his methodology is aggressively savage. He’s such a compelling character, in fact, with pride, menace, and swag veritably dripping off of Jordan’s skin, it’s pretty clear Coogler, along with co-writer Joe Robert Cole, had to tip the morality scales a wee bit with Killmonger (having him threaten an innocent gardener, burn the sacred flowers to the ground so there can’t be any more panthers, and gut Forest Whitaker’s Zuri in cold blood, all while sneering contempt for the ancient ways of the Wakandans), in order to make the audience actually want him to lose at the end. To balance that balance, the screenwriters see fit to give him a hero’s sort of death, defiant, significant, and on his own terms. A lot of other actors would have withered against the powerhouse charisma of Jordan, but Boseman is well up to the task, which creates a spectacular dynamic between the two dedicated actors. 
Having the live orchestra, along with Massamba Diop, adds an element to the excellent soundtrack. Honestly, I’m not normally one who terribly much notices a film’s score  —  at least, at first listen  —  unless it’s dramatically amazing or frustratingly distracting, even one as solid as Ludwig Göransson’s work for Panther, but having it performed as a separate entity, in harmony with the film, but not directly of it, sets it off from the screen just enough to allow iit hit with that much more force, enhancing the entire experience. On top of that, with the master showman Diop front and center of the orchestra, set off in his own booth, facing the audience, and leaping to his feet at key orchestral moments, it sort of bridges the gap between film and theater. It’s a spectacle that crackles with energy. 
Seeing the film with a packed house of rabid devotees was a singular experience. The crowd was amped for this event, and I mean, they were loud, hype, and effusive. They cheered when the orchestra sat down, they cheered when the first violinist took the stage, they cheered when conductor Damon Gupton swung out, and they cheered wildly when Gupton introduced Diop, who came out in a shimmering orange robe/pants ensemble. They kept cheering throughout the film  —  when Okoye (Danai Gurira) answers as to whether she would cut down even her beloved (Daniel Kaluuya) in defense of her country by hissing ���Without question!” the audience erupted in thunderous approval  —  and they kept a deep, respectful silence during Killmonger’s death scene. You didn’t hear any chattering. You didn’t see people checking their texts, or basketball scores. Everyone was there in respectful reverence to the film, which made for a glorious communal experience. This is why having an 85” flatscreen still can’t compare to watching a huge film in an enormous setting, amongst a throng of equally devoted true believers. There’s simply nothing else like it.

The casting in The Last Airbender movie is all over the place, but we all knew about the whitewashing. What we didn’t remember is that Monk Gyatso is Black (shout out to Damon Jamal Gupton). And also they muted Gyatso’s lines, for some reason. Well, Dallas had a field day with that. Check out our Last Airbender reaction for more of what we think Monk Jamal might be saying.

gonna use the wave of writer appreciation on this hellsite to remind the new wave of cm fans that back in the ~day of old cm, there were a few gay writers on staff of cm and even more seemingly straight ones who also wanted to write gay lead characters into cm and had support from the cast, going as far as to write it into episodes, only for cbs to make them take this stuff out because they wouldn’t allow it in the show. 
They also told them all that they were Not Allowed To Mention This otherwise you will face Consequences to anybody who may talk about this. I know this because, years ago when after/ellen Wasn’t a bigoted te/rf hell, Kirsten did an interview where she let that slip (both the gay thing And that they’d been ordered to not mention it) anyway. 
They were also gagged on talking about casting changes past the debacle where the NETWORK fired paget and AJ for creative reasons. It was not financial in motive. They are lying when they say so. They were fired for ‘creative reasons’ that led to the showrunner resigning from the show in protest. Mass fan protest and an actual massive fan movement are why they returned. And also, if they wanted to save money by axing a cast member, at the time from salary numbers reported they’d have saved more money axing one man than two women, which is a whole Other issue (that almost got the show cancelled once bc Cook and Vangsness refused to renew contracts again unless they BOTH got raises. The pay disparity between the women and the men was nauseating btw. This was the same year De Pablo left ncis bc she couldn’t achive the same thing without any support from other cast members and wouldn’t be treated like shit). 
But yes, they were gagged from talking about cast changes bc if i recall correctly it was Harry Bring that let slip on twitter when people asked him about Tripplehorn leaving suddenly, that they were all under an NDI about it. All cbs learnt from the previous sexist crap was that if viewers found out about it they’d be loud and angry, so they just made sure viewers didn’t know about it. 
Basically, while there is a Lot of utter awful stuff the cm writers pulled, blaming them for it being the straightest show on TV (till the reboot) is Exactly what the shitbags at cbs want. But you’re blaming actual gay people who wanted to write that into the show but were barred from doing so a bunch of times when you @ the writers for this. Blaming the writers for cast turnover is Also inaccurate. The showrunner literally quit in protest of misogynistic network meddling. I think the only women on the show who left of their own accord were Glaudini (life work balance bad apparently) and Hewitt (who was very visibly pregnant and left for this reason) and there were a hell of a lot more ladies than just them. Not to mention them firing Damon Gupton (walker) between seasons on a cliff-hanger ending so the writers had no choice but to kill his character. 
There are many choices on cm that leave me scowling at the writers (and i know to scowl at them bc they admitted they were the masterminds behind these ideas) but a Massive amount of bs on criminal minds was Entirely cbs meddling with what the writers wanted to do.

Screenplay by  Damien Chazelle.
Directed by Damien Chazelle.
Distributed by Paramount Pictures. 189 minutes. Rated R.
Umm, yeah, okay.
La La Land director Damien Chazelle’s return to the early days of Hollywood with Babylon is periodically brilliant, but much more frequently it is simply confounding. What the hell was he trying to do?
Celebrate the movies? Well, that sort of works here, at least physically replicating the broad scope and crazy working conditions and ingenuity of the silents and the early talkies. However, for every scene which shows “the magic of cinema” there are at least five which show the complete amorality of the people working there.
There are characters here who are supposed to be real. Others appear to be loosely based on real-life personalities – like Clara Bow, Louise Brooks, Clark Gable, Douglas Fairbanks and Fatty Arbuckle. It’s a broad subject and one that can be endlessly fascinating in theory. And it is here – sometimes.
Are they trying to show that Hollywood in the days of the early talkies was basically Sodom and Gomorrah? Okay, good to know, I guess. Not exactly a revelation – Hollywood Babylon, the old mostly-debunked book that probably inspired this film’s title (and quite possibly its topic) was supposed to be all about the decadence of the early days of filmmaking. And like the case of Hollywood Babylon, you have to wonder how much of this film is really accurate.
Early on the film has a shockingly Bacchanalian party – which lasts for about 15 minutes of screen time – in which any deadly sin is trampled into submission. There is urine and feces and vomiting and public sex and drinking and drugs and destruction and passing out and midgets and freaks and large animals and murder and songs about lesbianism. It makes Caligula look mild.
It is actually a pretty impressive filmmaking feat, a long, extended segment so chaotic and shocking that the audience is alternately impressed by the craft and at the same time wants to take a shower. That feeling extends through the rest of the running time. If anything, it sort of feels like Chazelle is trying to make a hard-R rated Baz Luhrmann remake of Singing in the Rain here. Take that as you will.
Not to mention that the film lasts for an insanely long three hours plus. However, in fairness, while it goes on way too long, Babylon rarely drags. The movie is many things, but it is certainly never boring.
There are a lot of stories here – at least eight to ten main characters all showing different angles of the film world. There is the ingenue, the aging star, the hardworking immigrant who stumbles into the business, a bunch of gangsters, lots of early execs, an Asian chanteuse, a jazz trumpeter and many more. Some of these characters could have easily been jettisoned – the threads on the chanteuse and the trumpeter in particular appear to lead nowhere in the long run.
The rising starlet, played by Margot Robbie, feels like a bit of an anachronism. (This isn’t a complaint about Robbie, she does great with what she is given, but much of her character is pretty unbelievable.)
The most interesting characters are Brad Pitt’s aging leading man – who has been on the top of the world for years and sees Hollywood leaving him behind – and Diego Calva’s hardworking Mexican who climbs the ladder behind the scenes but is eventually nearly destroyed because of his unrequited passion for Robbie’s starlet. Also, Jean Smart’s gossip columnist, who turns out to be the most well-grounded person in the film.
But what’s the deal with Tobey Maguire’s cackling, crazed, drug-addled mob boss?
Then, as if things were not confounding enough, Babylon ends up with a nearly five-minute long visual and soundscape made up of loud music, quick clips of classic Hollywood films (before and after the time period of this film), flashbacks, and what appears to be a filmed approximation of a hard closeup on a lava lamp.
Again, is this supposed to be a celebration of Hollywood history, or an evisceration of it?
That said, Babylon looks spectacular. When it sets its focus on the actual craft of filmmaking the movie is often fascinating. Too bad that – like its characters – Babylon tends to get lost in the glitz and glamour of misbehaving on a grand scale.
