More ships of mine (most of them of the rarer kind)

Continuation of this post.

(remember that the “&” only means “platonic r”; and when I combine “&” with “x” it means that there may be ambiguity between “platonic” and “romantic” r; it can also mean that I like both dynamics though.)

Let's fucking go!

Charlie x Rainbird, from Firestarter 2022

Amon x The checkpoint mercenary (#2) (played by the actually surprisingly handsome Boone Platt), from Black Adam 2022

Luisa x El doctor (played by Andres Soler), from “Me ha besado un hombre”

Flick x Hopper, from A bug's life

Ingeras x Vlad, or Ingeras x Mina, from Dracula 2014

Gray Trace x Stem, from Upgrade 2018

Annalee Call x Dom Vriess, from Alien 4

Cinderella x Human!Jaq, from Cinderella 2

Tyler x Ovi, from Extraction

Nick x Mason, from “I hate kids”

Lucas &x Hova, from Ant-bully

Samantha & Irving Bates, from Bewitched S6 ep23 (“A kid again”)

(and what I personally think is the weirdest, since I only ship them because of a dream I had once with them in it. It was crazy and fascinating and I may talk about it in its own post):

adult!Ulrich x kid!Elisabeth, from the Dark series

Top 5 Worst Films of 2022

Okay, so. Here we go. At the end of January... my personal summary of the year. This shit is surprisingly difficult. A Best list will also be done, but I thought I'd start with the negative first so as to not end the year on a sour note.

I would like to emphasise that these are my opinions, and if you disagree... fight me in the inbox. Okay. Here we go. And yeah, it's going to be long.

5. The Invitation

Despite the beautiful costumes and decent performances, this nominally January horror fell flat with its mundanity, half-arsed references to Dracula (of course), and compensation for the 15 rating. Sophie Corneliusson is having a whale of a time, though.

4. Firestarter

Not terrible, but not good, either. Some lines felt they were written by a completely different person, and a great deal of promise was shat on and binned. Left feeling nothing. No wonder it bombed.

3. Crimes of the Future

A VERY controversial choice, I know, but I was really looking forward to this one, and the final product was a letdown. The worldbuilding is really well-developed and Kristen Stewart is pretty good, but unfortunately, I couldn't get past the wanky dialogue and the apparent lack of plot (and point) until the end. Disappointing.

2. Fruits Basket: Prelude

Maybe it's because I watched it drunk but I didn't understand what the fuck was going on at any given time. Completely inaccessible for those who hadn't seen the TV show. Completely frustrating watch. Again, really pretty to look at.

Honourable Mentions

Morbius: I don't think I need to elaborate on this. Also I will glue Lego to the feet of anyone who quotes any meme from this film. And I do mean anyone.

The Next 365 Days (Kolejne 365 dni): I want to sit down with the script translator and whoever organised the soundtrack and ask them "why?". Just "why?". They can answer in Polish, I'll just Google Translate their answers like they Google Translated the script and then play an on-the-nose song as I do so.

The 355: Eh.

Luckiest Girl Alive: Terrible characters, terrible handling of themes. Hope someone hired a chiropractor for Mila Kunis - she must have been in agony after carrying this film.

And now, the worst thing I saw this year...

1. Jurassic World: Dominion

Films are meant to be one cohesive project wherein scenes are joined together to build a story. A film should be as long as the story naturally goes. If there are any legacy characters, they should be used to enhance a story, and not be a crutch for it. The existence of a sequel should be justified; a second sequel should definitely need more explanation as to its existence. In a second sequel, existing characters should be actual characters and not just stock photos of tropes. A filmmaker whose career spans twenty years should have this drilled into his head. Dominion is a two and a half hour display of this not being the case at all. Trevorrow, put the cameras down, take your money, and slip away into the night before you can embarrass yourself any further. You're done, and you've taken the franchise with you.

Thanks for reading! Best Of post coming soon.

~ Mikey

Listen, I know Zac Efron is 34, so it’s logical, but I cannot believe he’s playing someone’s dad in a movie

Firestarter (2022), while being a fun watch, really did not meet expectations. The character dynamics are a shallowed out version of what they should have been. While Zac Efron excelled in his role, you can only do so much with the script that you're given. In the novel, the two of them are incredibly close and Andy is constantly seen making sacrifices for Charlie. Charlie has just lost her mother and is terrified of losing her father as well. She's very afraid of her power, and is hesitant to use it, but does so when Andy urges her to. She's eager to please and protect, and that's a huge plot point in the novel. Wanless warns that Andy's influence on her power and how she uses it will override any one else's influence, and Rainbird uses her love for her father to get closer to her and manipulate her decision making. None of this is discussed or shown in the movie, and the father/daughter relationship is a shell of itself.

The novel opens with a very tense scene where Andy and Charlie are already running from the Shop, there's a very strong feeling of being hunted and their precious time keeps tic tic ticking away for everyone moment that Andy spends trying to push the cab driver into accepting his payment. This heavy feeling of pursuit continues for the first half of the novel. At one point, Andy thinks that in a way, it would be a relief the day they were finally caught and were no longer running, and the reader can relate to this because King is really good at stressing is the fuck out. Where this tension shone in the novel, it wasn't there at all in the new movie. There's no real sense of pursuit, despite the characters talking about it.

I was very disappointed to see that the ricocheting effect that Andy's power had was not explored at all. He drives Cap to madness in the novel, and it was a real shame how that was left out. In the movie, Charlie comments that the Shop "Does bad things here, I can feel it." And if that isn't the biggest narrative cop out I've ever seen, I don't know what is.

They need us to know that the Shop is bad, and yet they're incapable of really showing it. You know that the Shop is bad in the novel. You know that it's poorly managed and made up of trigger happy goons, some of which are misogynists who use their position to laud power over helpless citizens. That would have been incredibly relevant in today's age, and it's a shame that they failed to develop their antagonist.

Don't get me started on Rainbirds character, it's so watered down it hurts. None of his obsession with death or with Charlie are present. His manipulation skills are absent, as well as his stealth and murder skills. Instead, he is given telekenesis and wow, does that take away from his character. It was disappointing.

Charlie's characterization was a bit of a let down, as well as her performance. In the novel, you have this happy innocent little girl who is forced to grow up entirely too fast. She's clever, and unwilling to let her guard down-- adding to Rainbird's fascination with her-- and she really doesn't want to hurt anyone. Her mother's death has hit her hard to the point where she tries not to even think about it, and can barely bring herself to admit that her mom was killed, not just "hurt." In the movie, you can tell that they try to replicate this, but what with the pacing, it's just impossible to do. It's kind of hard to really feel for Charlie in this version.

I will say that I was very impressed with the sequence where they were administering lot six. The video effects were cool, and I enjoyed the questions that were asked and the characters reactions to them. The part where the one kid starts freaking out and rips his eyes out was horrifying and as someone's whose had a bad trip, it hit reaalllly close to home. Really, it was a well done sequence and it really triggered my anxiety.

I also thought it was cool how they combined scenes in order to condense, ie, instead of convincing the taxi driver that the $1 was a $100, he convinces Irv.

The scene with the cat was upsetting, but it worked. I probably can't remember the exact quote, but hearing something along the lines of "It's in pain. You gotta put it out of its misery, that's what's right," come out of an 11 year old's mouth later on was kind of terrifying. And as cheesy as it was, I did like Charlie's "Liar, Liar, pants on fire"

The sound track was also amazing.

Firestarter is an incredibly difficult story to adapt, and you just can't do it in the runtime that this movie had. It's long, it takes place over the course of more than a year, there's multiple different settings that the scenes take place, and they spend a lot of time in captivity. Honestly, they should have split it up into two movies. In the first one, the chase should be emphasized while the back story is built, in the second part, focus on their time spent with the Shop.

Over all, I did enjoy watching the movie, and I don't regret having spent the money to go see it. But once we move past that surface level of enjoyment, there's a lot to criticize about the movie, and I think it failed as an adaptation. But hey, surely it isn't too late for the story to get a good proper adaptation, right? After all, Carrie had three movies made. Third time's a charm, right?

⚠️ Spoiler-y review of FIRESTARTER (2022):

I figure enough time has passed that most people have seen this movie by now, but still want to give a spoiler warning just in case.

I give this version of STEPHEN KING'S book Firestarter a solid 5/10. The only reason it gets a 5 is ZAC EFRON'S performance and THAT cat scene. It's the only surprising moment in an otherwise de-fanged film that feels a bit bland. King's stories are spine chilling to read but rarely does that translate to the screen, whether big or small, which is a pity.

I found myself most entertained when Zac Efron was on screen as Andy McGee. He was believable and fun to watch, which is something I can't really say for the rest of the cast save for MICHAEL GREYEYES. But even Greyeyes' role as the villain is watered down. Overall, not super impressive. 5/10
