*****
Personal favorites: 2005, then 1995.
But also: The Lizzie Bennet Diaries, Orgulho e Paixão
I also enjoyed Atlanta and, while it’s been a while since I’ve seen Bride and Prejudice, it’s got Indian musical numbers so c’mon, one gotta watch it.
Back to the closer adaptions, despite its age, 1980 is also good! 1940 is...very different, but fun in its own way.
In fact, while I find some of these versions weaker, I could find enjoyment in all of them - but maybe that’s cause I’m a sucker for P&P.

Film Review: Summer Movie Rec Masterlist
Getting this out early for @notesoncrocs, sorry I'll add more descriptors later!
There has not been a more apt time to post a list of recommendations, as a lot of us actual ihouse are apart from each other, away from home. I watched these in the past month, so best believe these are certified fresh.
Movies.
Asteroid City: artsy Wes Anderson film about science fairs and plays, and alien visitations with a star-studded cast.
Past Lives: a slow-burn angsty A24 film about 인연 (in-youn), a Korean American girl and her childhood crush reignite sparks as they live their separate lives throughout the years and reminisce on what could've been. I thought some parts were funny, but movie overall just made me think that ordinary love is unspectacular but still moving/spectacular.
Pride and Prejudice: the classic enemies-to-lover story. I don't know if Mr. Darcy wooed me as a watcher, but I will say the movie captures the feeling of "yearning" really really well, much better than Past Lives.
The Roundup: No Way Out: stellar action movie from Korea. I am a sucker for these.
Barbie: Hilarious and fun for my eyes. Some scenes really hit for me, a deep fear of the world as it is today. Made me think of Virginia Woolf's writing:
"The most transient visitor to this planet, I thought, who picked up this paper could not fail to be aware, even from this scattered testimony, that England is under the rule of a patriarchy. Nobody in their senses could fail to detect the dominance..." - Virginia Woolf's, A Room of One's Own
Nothing Serious: a nerdy columnist is tasked with writing a sex column, so he dives into hook up apps and meets a girl, a low-key sex addict. I liked the blend of fun in the movie, casual sex, and the more moral questions, ethics of surveillance.
Argo: Action movie about the CIA operation in the 1979 Iranian hostage crisis that put together a whole fake Hollywood alien movie script/company in order to extract 6 Americans who escaped the embassy and were hiding in Tehran for months.
TV Shows.
Atlanta: College dropout (Donald Glover) sees his cousins rise as a rapper as a way to change their lives. The humor, the colors in the shots, the range of the fundamental human experiences covered, and the crazy crazy episodes that leap out of the story line, make this show like no other I've ever seen.
My Mister: Written by my favorite kdrama TV-writer, a girl in her early 20s lives a miserable, lonely, guilt-ridden life, chased by loansharks, burdened her ailing grandmother, and with no hope for any better. She enters a 9-5 company as a temp, and meets an older married guy who is as miserable as she is. She likes him a lot and the drama teeters around her morals and their ill-adjustment to society.
My Liberation Notes: Same writer, this time a depiction of what it's like to be in the outskirts of Seoul life, but quite literally/geographically. A girl in her late 20s finds little meaning in what every one in her Seoul office find meaningful, nor her family in the country side. This ones as equally about familial love as it is about romance, about hatred.
Beef: Y'all have all already watched it already. I'm watching it again with Hanu and Diego.

Review: Pleasantly surprised by The Batman
I did not expect to enjoy The Batman because the trailers made it look like a film that took itself way too seriously, and I was like, “Do we really need another Batman movie right now?” But just like I didn’t think we needed another Star Trek movie and then fell in love with the 2009 reboot, I found myself enjoying Matt Reeves’ film which somehow found a new take on a character that is older than rock n’ roll. It’s not perfect, but the things I liked far outnumbered the things I thought were dumb, so let’s break it down like that.
Things I loved
The original take that Bruce Wayne is a barely functional, emotionally stunted, human being who is unable to connect with others. This totally tracks when you think about it. You’d have to be seriously unwell to dress up as a bat and beat people up at night, right? He was probably forced to go to therapy as a kid and it just didn’t take, so now he does this instead. He’s so messed up that he’s incapable of creating a cover as an irresponsible playboy like he does in other films. This man isn’t just broken, he’s shattered! Some people have suggested he might even be a bit autistic. (The last time I remember seeing a new twist on an old character like this is when Matthew Macfadyen’s Darcy in the 2005 Pride and Prejudice wasn’t so much an arrogant guy, just an introvert with social anxiety who comes off that way.)
Batman is also more flawed than I recall him being in any other movie. He’s quick to judge, totally misreading the Selina/Falcone situation. He’s a bit of a prick to Alfred about the Wayne cufflinks and quickly feels shamed when he learns they were a gift from his dad. He crash lands in his bird suit. His car stalls out once before he gets it going. He’s kind of naive about how deep corruption goes in Gotham City. And he didn’t notice that criminals were embezzling from the Renewal fund that his own father set up. All these flaws make him feel like a real person (which can be hard when dealing with a guy who dresses up like a bat). This dude has a lot to learn and a lot of room to grow in any sequels which leaves the potential for a satisfying character arc.
Leaving the grease paint on Bruce's eyes works so well. It matches the emo vibe, but is also practical. I’m always a bit annoyed in other Batman films when the dark eye makeup magically disappears when he takes the cowl off.
I love that Bruce lives in the city instead of residing in the suburbs. If you’re going to police the city, you should live there, and not be a cop who lives 20 miles away and drives into town to lord over a community they’re not part of. It also makes logistical sense since it cuts down on his response time to emergencies.
They really nailed the Batman/Catwoman dynamic. Lots of unresolved sexual tension and mutual longing there. Lots of similarities in their characters, but differences that challenge and change each other. I also liked that it was a key part of the story and not just a side plot.
Catwoman in general was awesome. Good job, Zoë Kravitz!
The film didn't end in a big CGI battle. Refreshing! Take note, Marvel!
Things I liked
Wayne manor looks like the love child of a gothic cathedral and a McMansion. It’s bonkers, but I love it. It’s also a bit rundown and not well taken care of, just like Bruce.
Since he’s still in his early, low-tech years, I liked the DIY vibe Bruce had of running around the city in a hoodie and a backpack, even though I don’t think you could fit the bat suit in a backpack.
Felt right that most people weren’t all that impressed or scared by Batman. He’s still building his reputation at this point and taking on small-time criminals, so he’s mostly seen as a weirdo rather than a threat.
It was refreshing that the new mayor is a young, black, women instead of another white dude, which feels reminiscent of real people like Muriel Bowser of DC or Keisha Lance Bottoms in Atlanta.
There was good POC representation overall too with Zoë Kravitz and Jeffrey Wright cast in main roles.
So glad we didn't have to watch the Waynes get murdered again or Martha's pearl necklace break and scatter because they were too cheap to buy one that’s properly knotted, as Comic Book Girl 19 pointed out years ago.
It was nice to see Bruce’s parents be flawed as well, with Thomas accidentally getting a reporter killed and Martha dealing with mental health problems. They tend to come off as saints in the other films.
The introduction of a history of mental illness in Bruce's family was an interesting way of suggesting he might be a bit mentally ill too.
It was great that the cops kept commenting on the absurdity of letting a vigilante at a crime scene. It was classic “hanging a lantern,” but I appreciated it.
There was a stripper pole at 44 Below but no gratuitous stripping scene! This was the most miraculous thing in this entire film!
Catwoman wears a chunky heel which is the most sensible heel to wear if you’re a superhero. It provides maximum stability while preserving flexibility of the sole, making it easier to walk in than a wedge heel. Jill Bearup has a great video about this topic.
The Riddler’s incel army that congregates in a hidden chat room felt like a modern problem that could actually happen.
Batman is referred to as the world’s greatest detective, so it was nice to see him do some detection here, even if the Penguin had to help him with the rat riddle and a random cop figured out what the carpet tool was.
The whole film noir vibe overall worked really well, and the visual look of the movie matched that tone.
Robert Pattison does have an amazing jaw line.
I like how understated John Turturro’s performance as Falcone was. He’s got this soft-spoken, kind uncle vibe to him, but you know he’d snap your neck in a heartbeat if he had to.
Overall, it was interesting to see a film focus 90% on Batman instead of Bruce Wayne, since this film seems to imply Batman is his “real” self, at least at this point in his life.
I liked that Selina has much higher emotional intelligence than Bruce. She's able to read people at the club and manipulate them in a way he seems incapable of. And I do think she was manipulating Bruce a bit when she kissed him on the roof since she needed him on her side. Oh, those femme fatales!
Things I’m ambivalent about
I don’t know how I feel about the prominent use of Nirvana in this movie. This might be because it makes me feel old.
Batman’s parents were murdered in 2001? Ok, I definitely feel old.
The Riddler basically got away with everything, right? He didn’t blow up Bruce Wayne, but he achieved all his other plans. His incel army let him down in the end, but that’s not really his fault. Getting arrested was one of his goals, so the fact that he’s locked up isn’t a triumph either. So, the villain sort of won?
It’s kind of weird that married couple Peter Sarsgaard and Maggie Gyllenhaal have both been blown up in Batman films.
Things I disliked
The opening was boring. Yeah, I know the Riddler’s voyeurism of the mayor’s mansion parallels Bruce spying on Selina later on, showing similarities in their characters, but I didn't know who he was spying on, so I wasn’t invested or interested it. Then we had to watch a boring political debate on TV until finally, finally, the Riddler appears and something interesting happens.
When Batman beats up the gang at the beginning of the film, it would have been nice if that had hooked into the main story in some way. It does a good job of establishing the character and showing that the people he saves are also scared of him, but it feels tangential to everything else. You could lift it right out and you’d still understand the plot of the film.
The voiceover of Bruce’s journal entries reminded me way too much of Rorschach from Watchmen, so it didn’t work for me at all. It also seems dumb to be documenting your crimes in such detail.
So, yeah, the first 12 minutes had me believing I was right to assume this would be a bad movie until we finally got into the main story and things turned around.
Jeffrey Wright’s voice is so distinct that I kept thinking of him as the Watcher from the Disney+ What If…? series, which was distracting, but not really anybody’s fault. (Shame on you, Jeffrey, for deservedly getting so much work!)
Colin Farrell was good, but why was he hired to play the Penguin? Fat people get less acting opportunities than thin people, so I would have preferred they hire an actual fat person instead of letting a thin person take that role.
I wish they’d been more clear about whether Selina was in a romantic relationship with Annika or not. The fact that they were living together and she called her “baby” suggests intimacy, but then Selina kissed Batman the day after she found Annika dead, which would be really tacky if they had been an item.
Some of the more absurd exits. Do people have to leap off buildings and slide down repelling lines all the time? Isn’t the elevator more sensible sometimes?
I could have done without all the Ave Maria. It’s kinda overused.
The movie is too long. They could have shaved some time off at the beginning and also near the end. Kill your darlings!
Things I hated
I typically love Michael Giacchino’s work, but the Batman theme sounds way too much like the Imperial March from Star Wars. Someone should have taken him aside and told him this was basically plagiarism. Every time it played, it took me out of the movie and broke my suspension of belief because I was looking around for Darth Vader to show up.
I have come to hate any scene in a movie or TV show where a character makes a big murder board with lots of photos and strings and pushpins and Post-Its. It’s old and tired and I don’t think people actually do this that much in real life. I get that it makes an interesting visual, but it just feels dumb. So, I am not a fan of Bruce Wayne spray painting the floor of his house as he puzzles things out. I know he’s eccentric and he’s at a particularly low point because Alfred was hurt, but what is the housekeeper going to think? Has she figured out he’s Batman and never said anything cause she’s so close to retirement?
No one is upset that Batman created a fiery wreck on the interstate that destroyed at least one semi truck and probably injured several people? It was totally reckless and if someone did that in real life, I would want them jailed. I’m sure the people on NextDoor Gotham City had something to say about that!
I ended up thinking about this movie way more than I ever thought I would. I generally love the world they’ve built here. I hope the sequel leans into the things that worked and away from what didn’t. I’d like to see Bruce start to build a public, philanthropic identity as a way to be a source of hope in the city, and not just vengeance, even though he’ll feel totally awkward and uncomfortable doing so. It’d also be nice to see Catwoman and Penguin show up again instead of wiping the board clean like they do in other films. It would make this feel like a lived-in world where people don’t just disappear because you’re rolling out a new plot.
And hey, the mayor’s son could be the new Robin! Seriously, this kid had the most traumatic week ever. First he finds his dad gruesomely murdered, then he’s almost run over at the funeral where a man explodes, and then he gets stuck at Gotham Square Garden during a mass shooter incident and flood. This kid is going to be so fucked up. I bet he lives in fear of duct tape and lying for years. All you have to do is kill off his mother and have Bruce adopt him since he already deeply empathizes with the kid.
Good job, everybody! Looking forward to visiting this world again in a few years.

COMMENTARY:
The Epistles have always left me cold. I don't know why. They have the same effect on me as most of women's literature: there are things going on unavailable to me.
For example, I say the Movie "Gone With The Wind when I was eight of nine years old and Scarlett shooting the Union bummer in the face and the horse dropping dead during their escape from Atlanta. /After I gog back from Vietnam, the movie had a general release that may have been a a 50th Anniversary celebration, I went to see it and was amused to see George "Superman" reeves as one of Scarlet's suitors in the opening Ball, I decided I had to actally read the book to see what all the shouting was about.
I was left totally underwhelmed. The prose just seemed totally flat and the social context a bit too southern for my tastes, especially the convict leasing the former slave owners used to rebuild their society. What ever thrilled women, or the market for the book, didn't touch me in the least.
I had that experience with women's literature as an undergraduate. I could get into Emily Dickenson and q li55l3 T3O4T3 3lio5, gu5 I generally avoided the how gothic tradition of Wuthering Heights and Pride and Prejudice etc alon with Virginia Wolfe. as tedious cotillions of manners.
After I got back from Vietnam, I have been in the habit of reading the selections from Christian Science store fronts tryin g to make any connection between what Mary baker Eddy had to say and scriptures. it was consistent is about all I can testify to, Then, just recently, I listened to a reading of the Gospel of Mary Magdalene and what ever is going on in that fragment is conveyed to Mary Baker Eddy. I don't know what it is, but women need to explore the connection because it is absolutely pertinent to the current assault on woman's health by the Pro Life Fascism associated with the Dobbs decision. There is an ethical thread that runs straight as a laser from Mary Magdalene to Mary Baker Eddy to the 19th Amendment that is being violated by the Total Depravity Gospel of Calvinism and the political agenda of the anti-Christ of Conservative Christianity and Campus Crusade for Christ, Pat Robertson's 700 Club that needs to be confronted and marginalized.
And, for some reason, the Epistle of James is at the center of this assault on the Free Will of women. .

Pride and Prejudice: Atlanta (2019)
Meet the Bennet Sisters
Just so the abrupt cut in this doesn’t confuse anyone, know that the guy that appears in the end is Bingley - and he is looking at Jane, of course!

* ◟ 🔪 𝐋𝐈𝐆𝐇𝐓𝐒 , 𝑪𝑨𝑴𝑬𝑹𝑨 , 𝐀𝐂𝐓𝐈𝐎𝐍 ⸻ congratulations , IMOGEN & DIMITRI ! you’ve been cast as the lovable coward & the red herring. the ferry to camp leaves in twenty four hours , so be sure to check in sometime soon. ( cierra nia & mason gooding )
* ◟ ( cierra nia . demi-woman . she/they . bisexual . ) look’s like imogen barnes made the tabloids again! some story about THEIR PODCAST, “SUNDAY SCARIES” NABBING A THREE-YEAR CONTRACT WITH SPOTIFY… or being pictured reading pride and prejudice in beverly hills again. according to insider, they turned 24 last 06/29 and already have a net worth of $75 mm, all from their parent’s acting careers and imogen’s podcast i bet they’d buy their damage control from TRIPP NYC if they could. they seem pretty FREETHINKING and JUMPY — must be why the article’s dubbed the [ THE LOVEABLE COWARD ] of that new horror movie.
-it’s ironic, to say the least. her father and mother met on the set of a classic campy horror flick in the 80s, something that helped ignite the genre of horror. horror runs through imogen’s veins, they even had a cameo in one of the several sequels that branched from the original film as a trick-or-treater with a quippy one-liner. after years of red carpets, paparazzi photos, and their parent’s cameos in the newer films that made audiences rise to their feet in unabashed excitement, imogen is SCARED of a lot. movies and films don’t terrify them; they’ve been behind the scenes of too many horror movies to think of them as scary, but real life? that’s a lot more to take in. imogen has a good head on her shoulders, always welcoming and kind to those around them. imogen is someone that was picked first growing up for every game, just because she would be a cheerleader for everyone around her, diving head first into scenarios with their friends that could be daunting at first glance. yet they still sleep with a night light on. even with their podcast called “sunday scaries”, in which every sunday they recap a person’s real life encounter with the unseen alongside the person that was involved and a skeptic, imogen still jumps whenever a loud noise sounds around them. imogen tries to laugh it off a lot, puff out her chest and act like she’s not scared, but they have a tendency to be the person that insists on not being in the front at a haunted house. but with this fear comes caution, sometimes overly so, and a strategic mindset to avoid any hypothetical fear that can come their way. crafty in nature, imogen’s adaptable personality is a strength, but also a fault. how disheartening, the child of two horror movie legends being scared of thunder clapping, or their closet door being open a bit too wide. but, imogen is insistent that their podcast is helping them overcome their fear, and if the situation called for it, they could be brave if they needed to be… i guess we’ll have to see for ourselves if that’s true.

* ◟ ( mason gooding . cis-man . he/him . bisexual . ) look’s like dimitri moroz made the tabloids again! some story about … THE ANNIVERSARY OF HIS PROJECT X STYLE PARTY THAT CAUSED A LOCAL BYLAW TO BE PASSED IN HIS NAME or being pictured cutting in line to a club in atlanta again. according to insider, they turned 25 last 08/01 and already have a net worth of $800 mm, all from their generational stake in data analytics. i bet they’d buy their damage control from RICK OWENS if they could. they seem pretty ENDEARING and SARDONIC — must be why the article’s dubbed the [ THE RED HERRING ] of that new horror movie.
-dimitri moroz always admired the power of speech, and he knew that from the beginning. from age 7, he played fun games of seeing how far people would go, and how he would never get punished. he would throw parties, talk back to authority, and at the same time craft words to get himself out of it. it was funny, how much people put a weight onto words- a mere orchestration of symbols that were thrown together to create meaning. he is enigmatic in nature, intentional in the way he puts things together in order to portray himself the way that he wants to. he often downplays how his mind churns every possible result of a scenario, branches of a butterfly’s wing, in order to try and lead to the one that would benefit him the most. his parents both work with data and numbers, so he has inherited the talent of seeing events in life with statistical value and mathematical probability. he knows when to fade into the background, or when to rise to the occasion. shakespeare once said that the world is but a stage, and the people merely players. dimitri first heard that in a high school english class, and can still recall that he rolled his eyes so hard that his head almost lulled in the same direction. to dimitri, life is something in his control- if he gets in trouble, he can get out of it just as easily. his aloof nature is a flaw, a lackadaisical blot on an otherwise “golden boy”. he believes himself to be the main character in the events around him, and if people haven’t proven themselves to him, they are simply the NPCs in a video game who give automated dialogue to move the game forward. this distant approach to life has ruined many friendships for dimitri, as he believes people to be serving to his narrative in a way. there is vulnerability and kindness in dimitri’s heart, and a selfless need to have people be happy around him in whatever way that he can, but he often sees this as extending to his own terms.
