Spider-Man: Across The Spider-Verse

Artist: Ami Thompson / Dave Bleich / Henry Wong / Will Coyner

Reread John Dies At The End this weekend, and there’s this one bit that I think really encapsulates the whole vibe of the series. 

In the scene in Las Vegas, when they’re running from the teleporting wig monsters and the group has barricaded themselves behind a door while trying to work out a plan with Marconi, John offhandedly asks why the monsters are bothering to try and brute-force the door when they can just teleport instead. After he says this, the monsters outside stop pounding on the door and are heard murmuring amongst themselves, and the gag is that the monsters themselves didn’t even think to try that until they overheard John. This is actually a fairly boilerplate gag. I’ve seen gags along this line- the heroes accidentally reminding the monsters they’ve got an easy way in- multiple times.

Then one of the monsters immediately teleports in and kills Big Jim.

That’s not an incidental death. Over the course of the novel, Big Jim is revealed to have been one of the first people to figure out the full extent of what’s going on with Korrok’s invasion, he’s revealed to have stunning levels of insight into, and practical experience using the Soy Sauce, and his sister Amy- the last surviving member of the family following his death- is left vulnerable to exploitation by Korrok’s forces at least in part due to his absence, which forms the whole back-half of the novel. Even outside of plot relevance he’s a pretty fleshed-out figure in terms of how he relates to the community of Undisclosed and in John and Dave’s lives specifically. And now he’s dead. The one-off Scooby-doo style whacky-chase scene gag gives way to a genuinely colossal fuck-up on John’s part, a fuck-up with far-reaching implications that get brushed over in the heat of the moment because of the, you know, the incipient hell-fountain. But the innocuous gag mattered! John was careless and it bit him in the ass immediately. And all of the books are threaded through with examples of stock gags that abruptly mutate into something serious, or with heat-of-the-moment, easy-to-overlook fuckups by the protagonists that ripple forward and make the situation even harder to handle. This is such a good series

I wish death upon every fucking stupid dbd player ever. anyways drawings i never posted in order from newest to oldest.

Let's say — hypothetically — someone DOES NOT want to support Netflix, but DOES want to watch some of their stand-up comedy specials.

.............

Like, is there a cure for that?

I've heard about resources for lots of different kinds of streaming content. Movies, anime, TV series, whatever. It's crazy how much y'all have found out there on the webz.

Never seen ANY resource like those for stand-up comedy, though. Which is interesting.

ok what do you three chucklefucks have to do with the crime this time

back on my bullshit i’m afraid

Spider-Man: Across The Spider-Verse

Artist: Aymeric Kevin / Henry Wong / Dave BLEICH / Mack Sztaba / Kellan Jett

guys i could talk forever about the things that give me chills in the ‘john dies at the end series’. 

like sure there are creatures and creepy bloody gory things. but like. for me

imagine

your boyfriend struggles with depression. he also struggles with a lot of other things, like eldritch creatures and the existential idea of whether or not he is a monster (long story, and it’s much less metaphorical than you think), and you just want him to realize that you love him, and he deserves love. It’s a hard situation because how are you supposed to approach a subject like a psychiatrist when the last psychiatrist he had ended up being evil and was behind a large plot involving nuking your hometown. But one day he comes home, and he’s in a good mood. It’s nice. He’s got some energy back, he asks you about your day, he’s tidied up. And then! hey says that he’s going to call a doctor and see about maybe regulating his moods. he acknowledges all of the things you’re afraid of and reassures you. And then. He takes you to a lake where he’s hidden a kidnapped girl. He quickly tells you that he’s not actually your boyfriend. he’s a shapeshifter. he tells you that you deserve better. and then leaves. but in those moments before you knew it was your boyfriend, you were reconciling his actions. later on you learn that these shapeshifters get in your head, they twist your fears and your desires. and you flashback to those moments with “Not Your Boyfriend”. and you find that fear. that fear that one day, the craziness that overtakes your life, will overtake him as well. you feel guilty that your first reaction wasn’t disbelieving that your boyfriend had kidnapped someone. your first reaction was a feeling of inevitablility.

the true horror is that you find yourself so happy on this one day with your boyfriend and it’s not him. the true horror is that this thing shows you what you’re at your core afraid of. there’s a thing and it got inside your head, and sometimes the scariest thing is our own desires projected out in front of us, sometimes the horror is our perception of others. sometimes the scariest thing is that all you want is for your boyfriend to take control of his life, to be happy, and one day he is, except no he isn’t, it’s a monster, and this creature, a twisted creature from beyond dimensions tells you that you deserve better. 

does anyone understand what i’m trying to say here, i’ve really started rambling on, but these scenes are just so striking to me. i am OBSESSED with the portrayal of their relationship in ‘What the Hell Did I Just Read’. 

Escape Plan: The Extractors (2019)

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...

I must be completely fair in my review of Escape Plan: The Extractors by admitting I saw it by mistake. I thought I had selected the first movie on my player, not the third. If this picture redeems itself by completing nuanced character arcs or tying up previously-introduced loose ends in a way that pleases fans, I can’t say. What I can tell you is how forced a sequel this feels. Did this movie begin as something completely different? Was it tweaked in post-production to trick audiences into watching it? Sure feels that way.

Daya Zhang (Malese Jow) is kidnapped by mercenaries. Her bodyguard (Harry Shum, Jr.) seeks security expert Ray Breslin (Sylvester Stallone) for help. Daya is indirectly familiar to Breslin. He knows her lover and former bodyguard, Shen Lo (Max Zhang). The kidnapper is a familiar face from Breslin’s past as well: Lester Clark, Jr. (Devon Sawa) is the son of Breslin’s corrupt ex-business partner. He wants revenge for his daddy’s death and the captured heiress is just the thing to lure Breslin into a trap.

It takes a long time for what Escape Plan 3 is actually about to become clear. We have… how many heroes? There’s Daya’s current bodyguard and her former bodyguard. Why they want to save the woman is pretty straightforward. Breslin's name was on the flash drive left behind when Daya was kidnapped so obviously, he's invested too. As for the villain, Lester Jr. wants money. That's why you kidnap people - at least, most of the time. Eventually, it’s revealed Lester Jr. doesn’t actually care about any ransom. He just wants Ray to come and face him. See what I mean about two random plots stitched together? This is made more obvious when Lester Jr. kidnaps Abigail (Jaime King), Breslin’s girlfriend 37 years his junior. Breslin has never met Daya before. If he gets to her before the kung-fu bodyguards do, she’ll have no idea what’s going on.

While I haven't seen Escape Plan, I know the premise from the trailer. This is NOTHING like it. There’s no prison to escape from, unless you count Lester Jr.’s base of operations: a dank, rusty, run-down prison with no guards - but inmates in every cell. It’s hard to believe this place would have running water, much less an internet connection, which makes a scene in which the baddies take one of Daya’s employees, hand him a laptop and instruct him to hack into her family’s financial account particularly hilarious. And they just leave him in the room alone! He could be doing anything on that computer!

None of the film's problems feel as brutal as the camerawork and direction. Any potentially exciting scenes are transmogrified into eyeball garbage by the confusing camerawork. You can’t tell what’s going on half the time and the editing makes it unclear whose objectives are what. You’re bored, just hoping this catastrophe will end soon. Suddenly, there’s a big fight. You think the movie’s over. Escape Plan 3 has you fooled. That guy who just died? It wasn't the main boss. It was some henchman the camera made you think was important… by accident!

I once dated a woman whose father would watch any movie starring Steven Seagal. He didn't care that the former action star hasn’t had a movie worth mentioning since 1992. He was a fan and would make it a priority to watch any Steven Seagal movie. If you’re that sort of person, then Escape Plan: The Extractors practically has your name on it. Otherwise, this is a movie you’ll be unsure actually exists even after having finished it. (March 27, 2020)
