Cap

@Lion Roar @WandaLegion

Apologies. My week has been completely screwed up. I’m moving tonight to tomorrow at 9:30. We also can do whatever happened to baby Jane on either Saturday or Sunday, depending on what’s best for the group, because I am no longer going to see in the Heights this weekend

Like... I'm here for the aesthetics of this, but I'm super suspicious of them trying to make her out to be some hero. She was a nut. Play her as a nut.

Not enough crowd shots! This is weird, cause I feel like THIS is the type of movie that'd be good for HBO Max since you can basically go frame by frame looking for Easter Eggs.

I think my issue is I have zero patience for recaps when it comes to the MCU. Let the casuals be confused. I know my continuity. More forward with the story. So there was just a lot of set up and there was a lot of this is a clip show that I felt was kind of like “OK let’s go. Let’s get to the real story now”. But it’s the first episode. The pilot is always the most clunky of the series because it has so much set up involved. I’m sure once we had episode three everything will be gravy

Yeah. That’s kind of how I felt. A little boring, but It could be massive fun once they let it rip.

Justin Lin and the Russos both worked together on Community in Season 1. I doubt either would be bothered by comparisons. And let’s be real, Both have made some really fun movies and both have made some really not fun movies!

HAPPY FUCKING PRIDE MONTH, Y’ALL:

That's basically as long as the musical is, so good. Means they didn't cut things!

IDK, should you? MORE LIKE: 😇 Hello! Thank you all for this opportunity. I won't front, I'm a little daunted by the whole endeavor. I don't think that's a bad thing. My moderating philosophy is I think we have a phenomenal user base, and I want a lighter touch so people feel free to engage in robust and lively discussions. This place ultimately is about movies and cinema, television and streaming, and it Should. Be. Fun. I am all for Art Gratis Artis, but it's called entertainment. As we have seen through this incredibly difficult pandemic, people turn to the arts for solace, escapism, and joy. I don't want to ever loose sight of that while we're in the weeds arguing about if Disney is evil or EVIIIIIIL. That said, do not mistake this principle for "while the cats are away the mice will play". I have zero tolerance for Bullying. The moderating staff will bring down Mjolnir faster than one can blink if we think a user is creating a toxic environment that's harming our users. I’ve been deeply obsessed with television and fandom since I started watching this show called Alias (it was by this dude called JJ Abrams, wonder what happened to him). For a while I thought I wanted to do it, live the dream and all. Went to the New York Film Academy for screenwriting intensive, before graduating from the Vancouver Film School in Writing For Film and Television. I bummed around Los Angeles for a couple years, worked for The Weinstein Company (I only saw Harvey once at a party. I looked at him and ran in the other direction) and a YouTube Channel founded by this guy named John M Chu (again, wonder what happened to him). After not getting a gig as a writers’ assistant on a network show, I kind of reassessed. Realized I wasn’t going to spend $60k a year for USC just to access their alumni network, so I packed up and moved home. Continued to work as a PA on a couple independent features while I finished my Media Studies BA. Then I started to do an independent web series project that took up all my time and money. I did that until basically I was the last woman standing, and exhausted. Then, one day, I woke up and signed up for my real estate license. Now that's what I do. I never really lost my love of Hollywood. I think it's why I took such a liking to BOT when I first discovered it in 2017 after Wonder Woman. It felt like this delightful amalgamation of Hollywood gossip, data analytics, film snobbery, and fandom tomfoolery. (All of my favorite things!) There's really no other place like it on the Internet, and I am really excited and hopeful to help it continue to prosper, even in the uncertain times we live in. Theaters are re-opening, and we have a stacked 2021 with In The Heights, Eternals, F9, Eternals, Space Jam: A New Legacy, Eternals, Snake Eyes, Eternals, Jungle Cruise, Eternals, Suicide Squad, Eternals, Respect, Eternals, Candyman, Eternals, Shang-Chi and The Ten Rings, Eternals, Everybody's Talking About Jamie, Eternals, Let There Be Carnage, Eternals, Dune, Eternals, Top Gun: Maverick, Eternals, House of Gucci, Eternals, Matrix 4, and ETERNALS. We have enough films that -- if the industry ever goes back to reporting Numbers consistently -- we could reopen The Summer and Winter Games! In the meantime while we wait for Eternals: The Tracking Thread is back alive and doing the best work on the site! Make sure to submit your list for @chasmmi's BOT's Top Animated Films Of All Time and @4815162342's BOT Top 100 Film Scores: Fifth Edition Swing by the CAYOM subforum for some fantasy box office Leave Your Reviews (Or Link Your Letterboxd) in Review That Movie Tell us what you're watching... and loving or hating Join Our Telegram Group Join @AniNateDisneyWatch Group (Saturday Nights) (use Telegram Group link) And of course: Watch REALLY COOL old movies with @Plain Old Tele, me, and the Wondyful Projection Group. I'm suuuuuper bias, but it's kind of uh-MAZ-in' (Wednesday and Saturdays, schedule permitting) So here's to a New Chapter for BOT. I hope it's as fabulous as the previous ones.

I want thank @Water Bottle for everything he has done over the years, and for trusting me with this endeavor!! I am literally walking into the Ford dealership to buy my Mach E right now, so I will write up a nice post in a couple hours. But, tl;dr: 😂😂😘😘

Hey Everyone! Quick update. My crazy electric car saga did a 180 today; and long story short, I gotta go drive to get my baby tomorrow. We're moving Too Wong Foo to Sunday at 2PM!

THATS THE SPIRIT. I also should get back into my routine. Or I would if my theater opened. I did get some inside info on why it’s closed. The owner of the business that owns the seven theaters, died. And now the business is in a trust, and the board of trustees are trying to figure out if they want to liquidate the theater or if they want to sell off the business. So I have no clue in my theater is going to open. Because they could make that decision in two weeks or they could make it in like a year.

@Eric is Full of Pride

But that’s not her name. That’s not the name they use for her in the comics. Jane is Thor. Plus I think you could argue that Odinson Is teased less in his own adventures, and more as like the new sidekick to the guardians. He felt more like he should be in guardian three then he should be in his own movie!

TBH if this DOESN'T happen I'm gonna have a problem with that!!! I don't want him in the movie more than 2 minutes. This is about Jane and Val ONLY!!!!!

JUNE SCHEDULE June is many things: Pride Month, my birthday, the official start of summer. Thus, as @Plain Old Tele put it: "We're going up to CAMP." JUNE 2 SUMMER STOCK The song goes: "It's party and I'm cry show Gene and Judy if I want to". Singin' In the Rain, Wizard of Oz, A Star Is Born, always gets tossed around as the greats, but for my money, Summer Stuck is criminally underrated. It started off as a Mickey & Judy reunion; a Barn Yard Musical where an acting trope invades a farm to put on a show. Only Rooney dropped, and Gene Kelly -- out of personal obligation he felt to Garland -- stepped in. This was the last musical Judy did for MGM, and she was sick most of the time. Kelly covered for her with the cast by hosting basketball games and working on his solo routines -- Dig for Your Dinner and and Newspaper Routine -- which are flawless, duh. When she does show up, she's perfect as always: feisty, funny, fantastic. So, Get Happy boys, cause the best on-screen duo (I SAID WHAT I SAID, FRED AND GINGER) of Classic Hollywood's gonna Barn Dance it doooown. JUNE 5 TOO WONG FOO, THANKS FOR EVERYTHING! JULIE NEWMAR This won the Telegram Poll against Priscilla. A Pure 90's Romp, go on a road trip from hell with Wesley Snipes, Patrick Swayze, and John Leguizamo as three drag queens driving cross country for a pageant; along the way they get stuck in a Backwards Hick Town, and everyone has to learn to love and acceptance each other and oneself. For 2021 it might comes off too hokey for Gen Z, but make no mistake, every frame in this movie is ICONIC. And the cameos! JUNE 9 DEATH BECOMES HER Is this the campest movie to ever win an Oscar? Directed by Robert Zemeckis before he lost his marbles, Death Becomes Her stars Meryl Streep, Goldie Hawn, and Bruce Willis in some of their best performances. A ridiculous premise about achieving eternal Youth (as long as you can keep you body in shape), it's really just a platform for Meryl and Goldie chew scenery as self-indulgent narcissists. Or is it a cutting comedy on women's body image in society? Watch and seeeee. JUNE 12 WHATEVER HAPPENED TO BABY JANE? We first watched Bette Davis in Dark Victory and All About Eve. We saw Joan Crawford's tour-de-force in Mildred Pierce. Now watch two aging TITANS invite hagploitation films in this classic mixture grotesque hilarity and sad pity. Bonus: It also launched The Feud that resulted one of the shadiest Oscars in history. JUNE 16 MOMMY DEAREST What better way to follow up Joan Crawford's legend that to completely destroy it (and Faye Dunaway's career in the process)? Yes, the INFAMOUS Mommy Dearest. Joan Crawford was a terrible mother. Her daughter Christina wrote a book about it. That got optioned into a movie. The goal was to create a serious drama that addresses the serious issues of Childhood Abuse and Trauma. This is not that movie. JUNE 19 JOHN WATERS' HAIRSPRAY No trip to Camp is complete without kissing the ring of the Queen himself, The Sultan of Sleaze, the Baron of Bad Taste, The Duke of Dirt, The Ayatollah of Assholes, The Prince of Puke, Mr. John Waters, the Pope of Trash. Hairspray's one of his more easier accessible movies, and only one Rated G. (I didn't know if you were all ready for dog poop, and I'm not showing Johnny Depp films, so here we are). It stars the one and only Divine, along with Ricki Lake, Debbie Harry, Sonny Bono, and Seinfeld's Dad. JUNE 23 BARBARELLA Back before Jane Fonda was an eclectic old woman who likes getting arrested protesting climate change, or a serious Academy Award winning actress, or political pariah during the Vietnam War, she was hot. So hot. Like, god damn. See her in the title that made her a sex symbol. JUNE 26 FASTER, PUSSYCAT! KILL! KILL! To complete our underground camp trifecta, it's Faster, Pussycat! Kill! Kill! Watch three go-go dancers go on a murder spree in the California desert. Is this soft-core porn or a feminist masterpiece? (Maybe it's both.) JUNE 30 VALLEY OF THE DOLLS Who's ready for some caftan realness? Watch LA chew up and spit out Barbara Parkins, Patty Duke, Sharon Tate, and Susan Hayward in this kitsch classic. Scheduling Note: Onward to July: Please note that July 3 is 4th of July Weekend for those in the US. We're going to pencil in a showing, but we might scratch it depending on the weather and who's around. I always bang out the trio of Yankee Doodle Dandy, 1776, and The Music Man on the 4th, so it'll be from one of those three. To counter balance June's programming, @Fancyarcher @Plain Old Tele and @Jake Gittes and I have decided to do "Crime Movies Cap Hasn't Seen". Spoiler Alert: Heat will on the List.

These numbers seem good, considering. July will be the rest test.

This is back on for 2:15PM!! I got everything fixed.

So for some reason the audio/video weren't syncing up. I'm going to investigate it more and we're going to try again for tomorrow at 2:30PM. Sorry for this!

I appreciated how Artie felt like it just fits into the world. They're not forcing him into the story, and they weren't even highlighting him in a LOOK AT US WAY. He was just there. No different than anyone else in the cast. And he's NOT a character that "can be edited out for [insert homophobic region of the world here] way". I said in my spoiler review in the RTM Thread that it felt like Disney's first queer movie, not in the Proper And Meaningful Representation way, but in the Give The Gays Everything They Love And Just Give Everyone An Air of Bisexuality way. Which is fine by me! Sometimes I don't need the former. Sometimes I just want a found family grifting in fabulous clothes with their dogs!!

Tell that to Emma Thompson!

It’s called camp. LOL
