Is It Really That Bad?

I don’t think anyone would call 2006’s Silent Hill the greatest horror film ever, but it’s hard to deny that it is one of the better early attempts at a video game adaptation. The film has some really baffling changes to the plot, sure, but it’s honestly pretty faithful in regards to the visuals and the atmosphere. Sure, some of the symbolism is thrown in to look cool—what the fuck is Pyramid Head doing here, for one—but it’s readily apparent that this film was made by someone who gets the games, who understands the appeal. The result is a film that, again, isn’t beloved like some video game adaptations but most definitely commands a lot of respect and has a respectable fanbase in and of itself.

The same cannot be said for the 2012 sequel, Silent Hill: Revelation.

This movie killed the career of director MJ Bassett, relegating her to television work since then with her only upcoming project the eternally-stuck-in-development-hell reboot of Red Sonja. It also killed any momentum the franchise had, with it taking 11 years for another film to begin development, and who knows if Return to Silent Hill will even come out (I’d love for it to, especially if it really is adapting the second game).

On top of all that, fans weren’t exactly receptive to it. In fact, they were so unperceptive that this film barely registers in discussions of bad movies at all; if I wasn’t a big Silent Hill fan I probably wouldn’t remember it even exists. But maybe people were too harsh on this film; maybe it’s yet another hidden gem among video game movies. Something you may not know about me is I am a huge video game movie apologist; aside from enjoying the obvious stuff like the recent Sonic and Mario movies, I also enjoy the 90s Mario movie, Street Fighter, both takes on Mortal Kombat… Sure, I’ve seen some garbage like Max Payne and Doom, but the reputation of video game movies as unwatchable garbage is greatly exaggerated in my opinion.

So with all that said, I promised to take you to that town I see in my restless dreams and figure out if Revelation is really that bad, or if the hole of negative reception for this movie is gone now.

THE GOOD

Well, the practical effects are all still pretty good, with some really creative monsters. And there are a few scenes here and there with cool and creative imagery.

What else... oh! Adelaide Clemens is actually genuinely good as Heather. I mean, the writing for her is as bad as the writing for everyone else, but by god is Clemens really giving it her all. She manages to outshine veteran actors like Malcolm McDowell, Sean Bean, and Carrie-Anne Moss. So props to her!

The soundtrack is pretty decent… No complaints there. Fuck guys, I’m really trying... Hm... Oh yeah! Pyramid Head is here for some fucking reason! It makes no goddamn sense, but I’m ultimately a simple man. I see Pyramid Head, I am happy.

Yeah okay I’m done trying to be nice.

THE BAD

This film is just ass from start to finish.

Here’s something a lot of people don’t understand when it comes to adaptations: Sometimes it’s best not to be completely accurate to what you’re adapting. The first film has the respect it does because it’s a loose adaptation that tells a familiar story with unique elements to it while keeping the core elements that make the series so beloved—the emotional moments, the horror, the atmosphere, the visuals. This film, on the other hand, swings into being way too faithful and trying to shoehorn the plot of Silent Hill 3 into the continuity of the films, which does nothing but rip a dozen plot holes open and comes off as desperate course correction that wasn’t needed at all. I’ll give it this—the movie is putting in a lot of effort to keeping this movement towards accuracy to the games from feeling too contrived.

Unfortunately, it’s hard to appreciate the efforts the film is going to due to how legitimately bad everything is. The acting is undeniably worse all across the board, even from legendary actors like Malcolm McDowell; the script is amateurish and ludicrous, with stupid twists and unbearably bland or bad dialogue in nearly every scene; and the CGI is just not up to the standard the first film set. In a way, this film is the original The Rise of Skywalker in how it dumped everything from the contentious film before it and tried way too hard to course correct to disastrous results, all while the previous film began to get a second look due to the catastrophic failure of the newer one.

The director said she wanted to deliver a continuation of the first film first, and an adaptation of the third game second, but with all the clunky retcons in a desperate attempt to emulate the game we’re left with a poorly-paced mess of a movie that is cramming way too much into a 90 minute runtime. The film is just a fifty car pileup of bad ideas, and genuinely there’s not much else to say. Revelation is so bereft of anything resembling good ideas that there is so little I could say that was positive and everything bad about it is so broad that it’s just not enjoyable to talk about, since what’s the point of singling out a bad element when all the other elements around it suck ass too?

IS IT REALLY THAT BAD?

This is genuinely, truly a bad movie, but honestly? It wasn’t a painful experience.

Like this movie pretty obviously sucks. It’s an abject failure at portraying the story of the game it is ostensibly adapting to the silver screen, it has terrible dialogue, it wastes its actors, and it seems more focused on gory visuals and cheap jumpscares than actually trying to be atmospheric or engaging. I don’t know if you noticed, but there wasn’t a lot for me to talk about here, and that’s because this film is so dull and unoriginal that there’s really not much to say. I hate that I couldn’t really dive deeper into how much it sucks, but it just sucks in the most tepid, uninspired ways, ways that don’t invoke much besides an annoyed eyeroll from me. It is genuinely like if Michael Bay tried to make a horror film.

Ultimately, though, that’s the very thing that “saves” this; it is just so dumb that I can easily see how someone could mine entertainment from this in a “so bad it’s good” way. Sure, I didn’t like this film and was bored watching it, but I didn’t feel vitriolic hate for it or anything. I just thought it was a subpar horror film that can’t live up to the games or the previous movie, which is a tall order to begin with. And really, is being a subpar horror film that much of a crime? I’d say it’s better than being as dogshit as Slender Man, Smiley, The Bye Bye Man, or any of the other genuinely abysmal horror films I’ve had to sit through. Horror is a genre of extremes, where typically you’ll either see one of the best and scariest films of your life or the most tedious waste of time imaginable that will have you calling for the director’s head. To find a horror film that’s just perfectly and stupidly mediocre is genuinely impressive. I’m gonna say that 4.9 score is entirely completely fair; the movie is just below average, and while it’s certainly shitty there’s no denying that it has some value as mindless entertainment.

Again, this is a bad film. I am not in any way recommending watching this, especially when you could watch the first film (or better yet just play the games). But when you consider some of the crap I’ve had to sit through for this show, I’ll take a bad movie that only gets me mildly annoyed over a bad movie that makes me legitimately angry or offended like Land of the Lost. And as piss-poor as this film is, it’s still a better adaptation than Ratchet & Clank was!

A few 'Justified: City Primeval' reviews have been released and here is what they say about Boyd's character, Clement Mansell:

- Here, the biggest complication comes in the form of Clement Mansell, a.k.a. "The Oklahoma Wildman," a grifter and killer who treats Detroit as his personal playground to let his psychotic tendencies run amok. Mansell is played by Boyd Holbrook and is the latest in a long line of Justified villains who have outsized personalities and enjoy running their mouths at least as much as they do causing mayhem.

Holbrook has done a lot of good work lately (including playing a more fantastical villain in Netflix's The Sandman), but his turn as Mansell might be career-defining. He's a full-on maniac in this – singing his heart out to rock songs he blasts from the radios of cars he steals, prancing around his girlfriend's apartment in his tighty-whities, scratching his balls with a pistol, and enforcing his will on every mark or two-bit criminal that comes within his orbit. ("What am I doing?" he asks rhetorically at one point. "Whatever I want.") Of course, no one is going to completely match up with Walton Goggins' Boyd Crowder, Raylan's regular arch-nemesis from the original series, but Holbrook, who coincidentally also faces off against Indiana Jones this summer, comes closer to matching Goggins' energy than you might expect. He's riveting in every scene in which he appears, and City Primeval's biggest strength is the combustible dynamic between Mansell and Raylan.

https://collider.com/justified-city-primeval-review/

- It doesn’t take the Marshall long to set his sights on Clement Mansell (Boyd Holbrook), aka “The Oklahoma Wildman,” a thief and killer who recently blew back into town, shacking up with his cocktail waitress girlfriend Sandy (Adelaide Clemens) in order to swindle an Albanian gangster (Alexander Pobutsky) that she’s been seductively setting up as their next mark.Assuming the de facto Goggins role as the yin to Olyphant’s yang, Holbrook does the finest work of his career in Justified: City Primeval, exuding malevolent swagger (sometimes in nothing but a kimono and tighty-whities) and a droll sense of humor as a wannabe-rock ‘n’ roll singer-via-The Joker who does whatever he pleases, including kill with nonchalant impunity. Clement and Raylan routinely engage in conversations whose easygoing surface masks their pistol-blasting seriousness, and the show does an excellent job devising confrontations and dilemmas that put the duo at each other’s throats, both of them eager to have an O.K. Corral-style face-off but stymied by circumstance, the law, and Raylan’s yeoman’s efforts to not indulge his more vigilante impulses.

https://news.yahoo.com/justified-city-primeval-rekindles-everything-160000853.html

- His adversary is one Clement Mansell (Boyd Holbrook), a frosty Oklahoma psycho with roots in Detroit’s underworld and a thing for The White Stripes (this is, after all, Detroit). Soft-spoken and sadistic, he’s a slippery, implacable menace who knows all the legal angles — a spiritual cousin of Max Cady, the relentless stalker played by Robert Mitchum in the original “Cape Fear” (not to be confused with the over-the-top model played by Robert De Niro in the 1991 remake). Mansell has a crafty defense attorney (Aunjanue Ellis) and an old partner in crime (Vondie Curtis-Hall), both of whom are too terrified of their associate to make a move against him. He also has that judge’s little black book, littered with dirt on cops, robbers and all manner of city officials, all of whom he intends to bleed dry. His other scam du jour has his girlfriend (Adelaide Clemens), who moonlights at a local casino, reeling in a wealthy mark (Alexander Pobutsky). This proves complicated, as the mark is well connected in the Albanian mob.

BRIEF THREE- MOVEMENT

Painting- Week One

Artist research- Hima Af Klimt

Hilma af Klint was once known as a minor academic Swedish artist. Born in 1862, she had been one of the first women to graduate from the Royal Academy of Fine Arts in Stockholm and had exhibited at the Swedish General Art Association.

Thses paimtings are her early works from the academy, but her most recognized paintings are not in the traditional style of art that she was taught by traditional art teachers. Her most renowned paintings reveale another life, a different art. Her involvement with spiritualism had radicalised her art to such an extent, that she can only be described as one of the greatest abstract artists.

As we can see, this is quite a shift in style. But what caused this shift? Well, her belief system became more vast, as it did many for many around that time. The scientific discoveries of the late 19th and early 20th century encouraged many to question the very nature of the universe.

In the 17th century, Isaac Newton discovered light was made of particles. In the early 19th century, Goethe’s Theory of Colours led many to see colour had spiritual and psychological powers. In the early 20th century, Max Planck demonstrated light particles had energy.

Many began to think that, if the universe was more than it seemed, then perhaps there were other lives living on different astral planes. Perhaps it was possible for some to be mediums, opening themselves to communicate with spirit guides to these worlds.

At the end of the 19th century a new religion, Theosophy, appeared, incorporating both ancient wisdom and modern science.

It is not surprising af Klint should become a follower. What is surprising is the power of the art unleashed as a consequence.

Af Klint was also influenced by another religious movement called spiritualism, which became popular in Europe and the United States during the mid- to late nineteenth century. Spiritualists believed in the existence of unseen spirits that could communicate with the living.

Af Klint began participating in séances in 1879, at the age of seventeen. The death of her sister one year later increased her interest in the practice. By the mid-1890s, she met regularly with a group of four other women who called themselves The Five.

The Five believed they could communicate with mystic beings named “High Masters.” In trance-like states, the women transcribed messages from these beings, who identified themselves as Amaliel, Ananda, Clemens, Esther, Georg, and Gregor. These automatic writings and drawings allowed af Klint to develop her own visual language and move away from her formal academic training and toward abstraction. She attributed her early revolutionary forays into abstraction to an external spirit and not her own conscious mind. The automatic techniques used by The Five were common among spiritualists during that time. Several decades later, the Surrealists would use techniques of psychic automatism, not to transmit the messages of spirits but to tap into their own subconscious thoughts.

(Seance room of The Five)

She felt the abstract work and the meaning within were so groundbreaking that the world was not ready to see it, and she wished for the work to remain unseen for 20 years after her death.

I absolutley adore her abstract style. Its conveys the exact feeling I personay attribute to death and spirituality. Its an abstract expirience, not a physical one after all. I find Hima Af Klimts work very inspiring and will take inspiration from her work to apply within my own project.

Gay, Goy, Guy! Deboard!

We have seen the weather in rome and it will be: Thank you for flying with TNT Dynamic Airlines.

Fröhliche Wissenschaft, herrlich fröhliche Wissenschaft! Irgendwann ist aber jeder Flug vorbei. Irgendwann setzt alles wieder auf und sitzt auch alles wieder auf. Gestöber in der Luft, die eine und andere Turbulenz, ein reizendes Quietschen im Moment der Landung und dann ist alles wieder gesetzt. Zurück auf Erden, wieder auf dem größten Polobjekt auf Erden, nämlich dem Planeten namens Erde. Wieder geerdet, wieder verdreht, wieder drehend bis zum durch.

Who`s afraid of the Kippmoment, an dem der Flug vorbei ist? Alle, jeder, jedes, denn es war so schön zu fliegen. Alles hilft aber nicht, nur das minore Objekt tut es, zum Beispiel der . [Punkt, Anm. FS.]

Im römischen Kalender gibt es besondere Flugzeiten, für jede Gelegenheiten eine Flugroute. Der Take-off findet alltäglich statt, aber über Details. So klein muss man ihn nicht machen, denn so groß ist er nicht, der römische Flieger. Im März fliegen die Römer, im Dezember fliegen sie: Tag für Tag ist guter guter Tag dem Flieger, wenn er fliegt. Eigentlich hüpft er, so klein die Parabeln.

Who`s afraid of the Kippmoment, an dem der Flug vorbei ist? Alle, jeder, jede. Am Ausstieg finden für alle, jede und jeden jedesmal Treppenszenen statt. Entweder steht am Ausstieg auf dem Flugplatz eine Treppe parat oder man schiebt sie flugs dahin, schon wieder flugs, huch, aber nicht hoch, nur zum Ausstieg.

Der Take-Off des Westens ist ein Gerücht, so Pierre Legendre in einem Interview, das er mal in jenem Heft geführt hat, das Anton Schütz (eine Art Krotos), Susanne Lüdemann, Cornelia Vismann, Clemens Pornschlegel in der Reihe tumult herausgegeben haben.

Der Take-Off des Westens ist ein Gerücht, also immerhin normatives Material. Das ist alles Material (Jonathan Meese). Ist es Gerücht, dann ist es normativ, denn Konjunktivität ist Normativität. Jonathan Meese hat sein kleines und im Detail titanisches Rechtsverständnis und Rechtsgefühl eimal an Martin Heideggers Sein und Zeit erläutert: Hand drauf legen, gesagt getan, das Buch berühren und so berühren und rühren lassen.

Dazu hat er gesagt, ich paraphrasiere in Würdigung der Details und dennoch mit einer Umstellung, für die ich hafte und einstehe: Habe ich nicht gelesen, brauche ich auch nicht, weiß ich sowie was drin steht. Recht hat er, das Buch soll auch von ihm handeln, also soll er auch wissen, was drin steht, ohne es zu lesen. Behandeln soll es ihn nicht, mit ihm handeln, händeln, spielen und tanzen soll es. Man muss nicht sein, man muss auch keine Zeit haben, auch nicht für Martin Heideggers Sein und Zeit.

Kann man, sollte man können. Sicher kann Jonathan Meese das lesen - unbedingt sollte er es lesen können. Muss er aber nicht, nur können sollte er, können könnte er. Das kann jedes Kind, Bing-o! Das ist das Verzehren des Gottes, wie Gertrude Bing einmal geschrieben hat: Groß daran ist das Fressen, la grande bouffe oder das Lex Satyra (Gratian), jeweils nur eine Vorbereitung des Nächsten, das man fahren lassen will. Liebe Deinen Nächsten, lass' ihn fahren. Irgendwann setzt nämlich alles wieder auf und sitzt dann nämlich wieder auf.

Der Take-Off des Westens ist ein Gerücht, und der Westen ist nämlich nämlich, ein Name, wie man annimmt.

Zwischenstand: Am sechsten Mai und am siebten Mai wird geflogen werden. Dank der Reaktion von João Tiago Freitas Mendes, der auf den CfP zu einem Workshop über letters/ objects, that let spontan mit einem fantastischen Brief an das Max-Planck-Institut reagiert hat, indem er verspricht, sich mit Fluginstruktionen zu befassen, wissen wir ein bisschen mehr vom Mai. Der wird sein, der Mai, und er wird möglich sein, wir werden ihn mögen, weil er so möglich daherkommen wird.

Friedrich Weber-Steinhaus wird auch kommen und wird nicht nur einen Punkt machen, eine Pointe setzen, er wird auch die Orthodoxie und Orthographie minorer Objekte, die Art und Weise, mit der sie auslassen, im Aus lassen, ausgelassen und ausgelassend sind am Beispiel von Karl Krauss' Akten vorstellen.

Andere werden auch kommen. Stück für Stück werden wir es wissen, noch flattern Briefe ein, noch setzen eine Reihe von Rechtswissenschaftlerinnen und Rechtswissenschaftlern ihre Schreiben auf, um im wunderschönen Monat Mai, wenn alle Knospen springen im MPI dabei zu sein, nichts als dabei, als wäre nichts dabei, als ginge das. Willkommen!
