Marmalade Stream of Consciousness
Well, I typed up random thoughts and quotes and moments while watching Marmalade for the first time, so here's this, I guess lmao. Spoilers below the cut
STREAM OF CONCH, HERE WE GOOOOOOOOOOOO
"you scared the chickens out of me."
OKAY, BARON, YOU LITTLE ABSOLUTE SWEETIE.
"escapes, beeeeitch."
OTIS OMFG. I LOVE OTIS.
"I swear...on my hair."
Baron is the best. But just when you think you know his capacity, he surprises you. he might seem simple, but there's definitely more to him.
CROCHET, not CROQUE lmfao.
Awwww the moon pies...watching Baron take care of his mom squeezed my sad heart.
Listening to him describe his town to Marmalade when he first met her was just the cutest, most earnest thing. "It's the only place I ever knowed." He's just so fucking SWEET, it makes me want to cry.
FROM THE BEGINNING, Marmalade sketches me out. She talks about how "some sleazebag" gave her Big Bertha (her car). Even Baron questions her like "he just gave it to you??" and I bet there's a story there. Has to be.
And the way Baron talks about his dad....couldn't some see him because he was too busy building a rocket and then he blew up in space? Oh, honey....the dude needs a hug.
Marmalade is obviously striking the manic pixie dreamgirl chord immediately. There's something fun and magnetic about her, but also obviously red flag central. I'm excited to learn more about her. The way she just immediately inserts herself into Baron's life is so unsettling.
"You can borrow my nose. They smell beautiful, just like you."
OKAY BARON, YOU LITTLE BABY SWEETHEART LMAO
DAY TWO, SHE'S LIKE "Let's rob a fuckin' bank." HELLO?!?!?!?
Enter Otis, once again, being the most normal person in this entire movie lmfao.
Baron hesitates on the bank idea, and Marmalade is immediately like "I LIKE U" kisses his face....I see what ur doing here, girl. I see u.
I honestly cannot tell if she's being genuine, but my money is on probably not.
Hearing Mama Eda's coughing in the background of their lovely moments makes my heart sink. Wow.
"Shoot the camera with what?" Oh, Baron. Oh, honey lamb...
The way she CACKLES when Baron gets scared by the gun, oh my god.
(I'm really not a fan of the nickname "Puppet." Shit makes me cringe for him - more foreshadowing imo so far)
HIS MAMA MARMALADE JAR TATTOO OMFG.
"GOT ME OVER HERE FEELIN' SHIT. I'M INSPIRED, MOTHERFUCKER." Otis is the realest lol.
THE WAY HE ALMOST FORGOT MAMA EDA'S MOON PIES OH MY GOD NO. She's distracting him from his mom while she needs him, I'm gonna cry for real....
OH GOD THE SCARE. THE SCARE. I was going to LOSE MY MIND if she had died right there. And he noticed something's up with the pills.....and Marmalade's all passed out? Hmmmmmmm.
Damn...when Baron pressures Marmalade to tell him about her life... you know she's been through some shit. And she's running from more than she lets on.
Oh, God. Her story breaks my heart... and Baron does his best to comfort her. Bless him...
THE ABSOLUTE TERROR ON BARON'S FACE AS MARMALADE ROBS THE PEOPLE AT THE ANTIQUE SHOP?! Poor boy. Oh my god....
"I was just playin" oh my god.
And he starts to try to back out. He wants to. And she comes back with "She's gonna fuckin' die." this POOR BOY. SOMEONE HELP HIM.
AND WHEN HE WANTS TO GO CHECK ON HIS MOM.. and Marmalade says "I can do it." I don't trust that. I do not trust that at all....I gotta know what's going on there.
BARON'S LITTLE ASTRONOT ON HIS CEILING, I can't... crying.
AND NOW SOMETHING'S WRONG WITH MAMA EDA. Conveniently as soon as Marmalade went to go see her?!
AND SHE DIED?!?! WHAT THE FUCK. NO. NO NO NO NO NO. Fuck this.
Oh, Otis..... my heart. :( I just want to give him a hug. Also bless him for looking out for Baron.
"Clench your buttcheeks" lmfao. Good advice, Otis.
"I think you got somethin' in your braid." BARON NO.
Aaaaaand now they're fighting.
OTIS OH NO. He was just trying to protect Baron :( poor Otis.
OH MY GOD SPECIAL AGENT OTIS??!?!?!?!??! HELLO WHAT?!
SAME DRESS, SAME MISSPELLINGS, SAME WRITING, BABY DOLL BANDIT?! Okay. She's on some real shit. I need to know more.
Aaaaaand Baron calls her. Rule Number One, all jail phone calls are recorded unless you're calling a secure attorney line. The End. Never, ever, ever do what he just did.
He doesn't need to rob the bank oh my god..... AND HERE SHE GOES AGAIN WITH HER BULLSHIT. And she's PREGNANT?! THAT WAS FUCKIN FAST?! Oh, Baron, no, no, no, no, no.
And she's such an asshole to him about being the driver.
Ngl, I think he outfit is so cute tho. Courtney Love vibes.
Okay, I love the dance number lmfao. Please tell me that's actually them dancing. I need to know. AND THE SEQUINS.
Marmalade squeals with delight. Baron screams in terror. My feels.
"Somethin' doesn't smell right." YOU BET, BABY. TELL HER WHAT'S UP. Poor baby is so uncomfortable.
"How come you know so much?" HE'S NOT STUPID. DON'T UNDERESTIMATE BARON.
"I might've done this once before." YOU DON'T SAY, MARMALADE. YOU DON'T SAY.
"Did you just fart?" ->->->->-> "I thought you can't smell." HE'S ONTO YOU, MARMALADE.
I just know the baby's fake. I just know it. I know it in my heart.
AND HE FINDS MAMA EDA'S PILLS IN MARMALADE'S CAR.
Oh, he has the gun on her. Oh, boy. Oh, baby.
Poor Baron. He's just unraveling, poor baby.
"It was just Mama Eda's time." Kinda wanna punch her, ngl.
Oh now the police are here and BARON... "We gotta go outside and apologize." THIS POOR BOY IS TOO GOOD.
God, I STILL cannot tell if she's ever being genuine. And I almost think she held Baron up for just a SECOND longer so he'd get caught and she could run.
RUN BABY RUN PLEASE OH NO. Oh no. He's too good. Baron's just too good.
OKAY. But he's for real pushing him out there.
Oh, they're tracking him. And Ted with his Shakespeare quotes lol.
Awww....Baron goes to visit Mama Eda first thing... sweet boy. I just want to hug him. :(
THE POOR DUDE IN THE CAR, he was so terrified. Of course the car was ditched. Of course.
The fuck is he pulling out of that chimney? Newspaper clippings?
OKAY WAIT. WHAT'S THE JAR OF MARMALADE ON MAMA EDA'S GRAVE FOR. WHAT THE FUCK IS HAPPENING NOW.
Baron......BARON?!?!?!?
WAS SHE FAKE THIS WHOLE TIME?!
HE'S CUTTING HIS HAIR?!
He ain't no dummy. Baron is NOT stupid. QUITE the opposite, I think, at this point.
Oh. My god. WHAT is happening.
Joe Keery dressed as a mystery woman. All right.
"Take care now" WHAT IS HAPPENING. OH MY GOD. The way he takes that wig off and how fucking stoked he is lmao.
"There is no girl." WHAT.
OKAY SEXY JOE KEERY IS BACK WASSUP.
L-A-M-R-A-M. Huh. Pharmaceuticals. I am so confused.
OH BUT THE LOOK IN HIS EYES.
I am SO FUCKING AS;DFJSA;ODIFHSD; WHAT IS HAPPENING.
This dude's money. Who is this dude. Have I missed something. Oh, Don Frankels, CEO -- BARON PHARMACEUTICALS?!??!?!?!?
OH MAN, HE WAS NEVER NO SIMPLETON. THIS IS BIG BUSINESS.
Oh, but he has a white cane......
OH. OH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Oh, I don't like Don. We don't like him at all.
JAR OF MARMALADE. HE WAS THERE.
Okay but WHO IS HE AND WHAT IS GOING ON. I NEED TO KNOW MORE. NEED.
"What's real, what's fake?" MY QUESTION, TOO, TED.
OKAY THE FUCK?! What's in the envelope.......
"Sorry for your loss." ->->->->-> "My what?" WHAT THE FUCK.
"I'm taking care of my mother. I hope you'll do the same," AND A TICKET TO JAMAICA. HE KNEW THE WHOLE TIME?!?!??!!?!?!?
HE KNEW. THE WHOLE TIME.
IS HIS MOM ALIVE?!?!?!?! IS SHE?!?!?!?!
I'm crying. For real, I'm crying.
He's just delivering meds to all these boxes....?
AND EDA. THE MOON PIES. HIS MOM. OH MY GOD!!!!!!!!!
AHHHHHH IT WAS SO GOOD. SO FUCKING GOOD. I LOVE LOVE LOVE THIS SO MUCH!!!!!!!!!!! Ugh, I could not have prepared myself. SO fucking good. Will watch again and again.
