I started watching this movie because it was late, I had two hours of tutoring to go, access to Netflix, and it looked like I wouldn't have to think about it too hard. Basically, I was right. If something that's basically an hour and a half long episode of Law & Order: SVU but with a slight (if predictable) twist sounds appealing, it's not a bad way to go. If you've had enough of police procedurals that involve serial murder and/or rape, then skip it. Simple enough. (Also, there will be more mentions of rape and some discussion later in this review, so also feel free to skip.)
The plot is pretty basic. Detective Nick Hopewell (Aaron Ashmore) is a new transfer to Homicide and on everyone's shit list because he helped Internal Affairs takes down some crooked cops in his last department. He meets crime scene cleaner Morgan Sher (Devin Kelly) when she shows up early to the scene of a murder. Morgan shows an uncanny understanding of the crime scene and finds a useful clue that Nick's dickish partner wants to ignore. As more murders occur, Nick teams up with Morgan to try to find the killer, and they dive deeper into the increasingly creepy relationship between the victims, who were once accused of being involved in some kind of rape cult.
I'm not going to spoil the little twist, but I'm sure you can figure it out for yourself based on the above summary. It's decently acted and shot; nothing really jumped out at me for good or ill. And I will say that it contained one very SVU-esque exchange that I was glad for:
Nick: I don't think Adam really likes women.
Morgan: Well, I don't think anyone who rapes women likes them.
Nick: Good point.
Nice reminder to the audience that rape isn't about desire. Swept Under has that same problematic internal conflict that I see in SVU, where there's an uncomfortable tug of war between media once again telling stories on the bodies of women—with bonus harmful stereotype perpetuation—while still having startling, marked moments of clearly stating that rape is not the fault of the victim and the importance of consent. (I recently read a piece that argued the worst part of SVU is that it lives in a universe where rape culture doesn't exist and the police actually take rape seriously while pretending to be reality-based.) SVU has had its better and much worse moments at this (eg the false rape accusation episodes) and it's weirdly one of my comfort watch shows even though I know it's deeply problematic. Swept Under probably falls on the middling to better end of that SVU spectrum, for what it's worth.
Though notably, this movie fails to pass the Bechdel-Wallace test, which many SVU episodes do by grace of having more than one female cast member. Morgan was awash in a sea of white dudes. (The one tech-savvy African-American police officer was a welcome island of color in a limitless field of Miracle Whip for the twenty seconds he was on screen.)
Really, the problem that I had with Swept Under was that it goes from Nick wanting to work with Morgan because of her insight to him also wanting to date her. I really could have done without that subplot, and it was entirely unnecessary in my opinion—even to the end of the movie. If nothing else, it perpetuates the bullshit idea that men and women can't manage to work together without it being some kind of sexual thing, and that relationships built on mutual trust and caring aren't strong enough unless they're romantic. It also really bothered me how Nick pivoted from respecting Morgan's insight to being insistent about dating her—it started feeling like that was his real reason for wanting to work with her.
Other than that, Morgan and Nick were likeable enough characters, and I don't regret crocheting a significant portion of a scarf while watching it. Plus it has a title that's reaching me levels of badness, so I've got to love that. Solid Meh+.

My nemesis "wants me back."
You'll recall that last year, I tangled with Fifty Shades of Grey for the bargain price of $843 and somehow managed to crawl my way out with only a mild hangover.
I've been training. I've been drinking a lot of beer. But I see that the sequel has stepped up its game as well, and gone the full this could totally be an episode of Law & Order: SVU. And I have no doubt it heard what I was saying last year, about it still not being as bad as Transformers 4. It's out for revenge.
So here's the deal. If you want to see the grudge match between my liver and Jamie Dornan's bulging right eye, you better pony up the money for charity.
The goal is $1000. I think that's a not unreasonable price to put on my sanity. $1000 by February 14, 2017, and I will see this steaming yech of weirdly shot abuse apologia and attempt to kill myself with alcohol poisoning before the credits roll. And I will take notes for you. And I will write a review. And just to sweeten the pot, I will video myself attempting to explain the plot while still drunk, and post it on Youtube.
Because this is such a special, special kind of movie, the rules are a little different for your charity donations. It's still honor system – donate money, then contact me via whatever method you prefer and tell me how much. (Also, if you want to remain anonymous, do let me know.) But like last time, I want all donations to go to domestic violence charities. And as you donate, I'll compile the list of your favored charities so more people will see who's doing good work out there. I've also copied the charities from last year over, so you have a starting point if you don't know any local groups.
We're a little more than two months out. My fate is in your hands.
Fuck you I ain't goin'.
- [Insert your charity here]
- TESSA (confidential support for victims of DVSA in Colorado Springs)
- Refuge
- Houston Area Women's Center
- Battered Women's Justice Project
- Incite!
- Mending the Sacred Hoop
- Anishnaabe Kwewag Gamig regional women's shelter
- Rosie's Place
- Battered Women's Support Services
- Colorado Domestic Abuse Fund

In the realm of potentially other useful things:
- I blogged a bunch about putting together the No Shit anthology
- I drunk-watched Gods of Egypt for charity
- Wrote about sexy fighting and transmisogyny in Zoolander 2 and Deadpool
- Liveblogged and summarized the WSFS business meetings this year – the most contentious I've ever attended. Also summarized the Hugo fixes for Book Riot.
Though if you have a favorite blog thing I've written this year (and I admit, they've gotten pathetically sparse since June) let me know!

I know I don't normally even go here, but I saw your airy dismissal that LGBTQ rights will be "fine" under the Trump presidency and can't really remain silent. Please don't read this as me lecturing you, but rather trying to explain why I and so many of my LGBTQ siblings are terrified what's going to happen to us.
There are a lot of reasons I'm extremely concerned about the Trump presidency, but I'm going to set everything else (such a mountain of everything else) aside just to focus on my perspective only as a queer individual. From that stance, the problem isn't even necessarily Donald Trump himself. While he's said a lot of incredibly hateful things that I've been horrified by, I don't recall any being directed toward LGBTQ people specifically, other than the bitterly laughable "ask the gays" comment, which is right up there with "some of my best friends are gay" when it comes to eye-rolling. Hell, he even said he'd "protect LGBTQ citizens from the violence and oppression of a hateful foreign ideology" after the Pulse nightclub shooting, which is… nice, I guess, though I could have done with a lot less being used to justify anti-Islamic sentiment and more addressing hateful domestic ideologies. But I honestly do buy the argument that Donald Trump probably does not give two shits if someone is gay or straight, and who knows, maybe he's one of those lovely people who is equally misogynistic to both cis and trans women. (How refreshing.)
Rather, as a genderqueer and non-heterosexual person, the problem I have is with Mike Pence, and the Republican party as a whole. I saw you reel off the Republican agenda as you see it, and homophobia wasn't part of that. I think it's great that in your mind, it's not. But we need to talk about the agenda the party has stated. Because I love you, but your personal take on the agenda is obviously not what the party as a whole believes, in their own words.
From the full, long-form Republican party platform:
From Defending Marriage Against an Activist Judiciary:
Traditional marriage and family, based on marriage between one man and one woman, is the foundation for a free society and has for millennia been entrusted with rearing children and instilling cultural values.
I don't care how nice it sounds, this is a homophobic call to destroy gay marriage. If you read further into it, there's direct criticism of United States vs Windsor and Obergfell vs Hodges, which are both landmark court victories for gay rights. And this isn't just about gay people being able to get dressed up and have a nice wedding. This is about all of the countless attendant rights that come with a legally recognized marriage, including guardianship of children, inheritance, and the right of spouses to make medical decisions and even visit their ill or injured partner in the hospital. The reason this is important is so people like Mike Pence (yes, that Mike Pence) can no longer, say, try to keep a woman from being able to visit her dying wife in the hospital.
From The First Amendment: Religious Liberty:
We pledge to defend the religious beliefs and rights of conscience of all Americans and to safeguard religious institutions against government control. We endorse the First Amendment Defense Act, Republican legislation in the House and Senate which will bar government discrimination against individuals and businesses for acting on the belief that marriage is the union of one man and one woman.
FADA is something that scares the hell out of most LGBTQ people, because it's basically Mike Pence's RFRA on steroids. Setting aside for now the implications this will have on women, this bill would allow publicly funded programs/government employees to deny service to LGBTQ individuals based on their personal religious beliefs. This goes beyond protecting asshole clerks who want to deny marriage licenses and organizations who want to fire their gay employees, to very real danger to transgender individuals who can get denied medical care or protection when a provider decides they don't like the mismatch between gender identity and genitalia. I suppose you can argue that this is not the intention of the law (which I would disagree with) but the point is that these actions would be protected and codified into law, and then be used to justify bigoted behavior that could seriously hurt someone. It might get fought out in the "activist" courts later, but that's not going to save the people hurt in the meantime.
From The Tenth Amendment: Federalism as the Foundation of Personal Liberty:
In obedience to that principle, we condemn the current Administration's unconstitutional expansion into areas beyond those specifically enumerated, including bullying of state and local governments in matters ranging from voter identification (ID) laws to immigration, from healthcare programs to land use decisions, and from forced education curricula to school restroom policies.
Emphasis mine. This is a direct attack on the Obama administration's directive that students should be able to use the bathroom of the gender they identify themselves as. Anti-trans bathroom bills have been the new anti-LGBT line for a lot of local Republicans after getting so much pushback on the gay marriage issue. I personally received a lot of political advertisements on this issue when I was registered as unaffiliated, which is actually why I switched my registration to Democrat, because I wanted bigoted local Republicans to leave me the fuck alone. This anti-trans obsession often paints innocent trans women as sexual predators and puts them in constant danger for the crime of existing in public – and is also the reason I and many of my trans male friends still continue to use women's restrooms, because you literally have to make a calculation of which bathroom is less likely to get me murdered. Trans people get murdered for their gender identity. I cannot emphasize this point enough.
And then we look at Mike Pence himself. People like to joke that the VP is a largely ceremonial position, but Dick Cheney showed us that didn't have to be the case. And considering that Mike Pence is now in charge of the transition team, I think that indicates that he's going to be taking a very active policy role. Which if you were an LGBTQ person, would scare the shit out of you.
I've already mentioned him a couple of times in relation to the platform, particularly his anti-gay marriage stance and the RFRA.
Mike Pence: "Congress should oppose any effort to recognize homosexuals as a 'discrete and insular minority' entitled to the protection of anti-discrimination laws similar to those extended to women and ethnic minorities." (source)
Considering the discrimination LGB-and-particularly-T people face in many places, this is unacceptable. And while Pence said that in 2000, his position has obviously not changed considering that in 2007 he voted against the Employment Non-Discrimination Act.
Mike Pence from his campaign website in 2000: "Congress should support the reauthorization of the Ryan White Care Act only after completion of an audit to ensure that federal dollars were no longer being given to organizations that celebrate and encourage the types of behaviors that facilitate the spreading of the HIV virus. Resources should be directed toward those institutions which provide assistance to those seeking to change their sexual behavior." (source)
Mike Pence's policies caused an HIV epidemic in Indiana. Part of this was due to his attack on Planned Parenthood (which provides screening) and things like needle exchange programs. (source) But he links HIV to sexual behavior himself in the above quote, and "institutions which provide assistance to those seeking to change their sexual behavior" is a common political euphemism for conversion therapy programs that try to "cure" people of homosexuality or being transgender by incredibly shady and damaging means.
Mike Pence was against repealing Don't Ask, Don't Tell. He's against gay and transgender people being able to serve in the military. (one source of many) Needless to say, he's long been against gay marriage.
And here's my favorite Mike Pence, from 2006, citing one of his reasons for being against gay marriage: "Harvard sociologist Pitrim Sorokin found that throughout history, societal collapse was always brought about following an advent of the deterioration of marriage and family." (source)
Beyond the fears that we are going to have what legal rights we've gained ripped away, that right there is the summary of our fear and despair. Pence himself preceded that statement by saying that (paraphrasing here, obviously) that this totally isn't about prejudice, but then blithely continued on that the homosexuals are going to ruin marriage and family and be terrible for children. It's not that he doesn't like us, it's just that we're going to destroy the fabric of society by getting our queer all over it.
Suicide is an epidemic in the LGBT community, and hits transgender individuals particularly hard. And it's no fucking wonder, when we spend all of our lives being told that we are unnatural and apparently the reason for societal collapse because we want to be just like everyone else–you know, work, pay taxes, have families, have our loved ones with us when we're sick and dying, and not get murdered or abused because someone can't handle their own puerile imaginings about what we do in our relationships or what we have stashed in our shorts. Trans people get murdered with horrifying frequency considering what percent of the population we are. At least 26 have died so far this year. Here are their faces.
And things like bathroom bills? Contribute directly to harming our community. Having an entire political party that makes it part of its platform that our families are lesser – if not directly harmful to children – and we deserve to get fired or denied service for something we literally cannot control is a constant source of harm for LGBTQ adults and to the youth who can see damn well what's on the horizon.
So I get that you're not anti-LGBTQ, and many Republicans aren't. I am hoping that people will stand with us when it comes to the constant attack on our very existence in society. I know that individual Republicans do and will; I have a very dear Republican friend in Denver whom I know always has my back (and I know he didn't vote for this mess). But when you look at things like, say, the position on gay marriage of national legislators and see only three senators and two(?) representatives who are Republican, it's difficult to have any kind of confidence that a significant number of Republicans would take a stand for our rights, let alone our personal safety. So you'll forgive me if I'm not holding my breath because for so long, the Republican party as a whole was silent about us dying when it wasn't outright applauding.
There was silence about the AIDS epidemic. There is silence about the plague of suicide that haunts us because so many kids are trapped in circumstances where they see now other way out and no help on the horizon from a society hostile to their very existence. There is silence about us being murdered, or worse, Republican politicians stoke the flames of gay and trans panic with bathroom bills and campaign advertisements that claim trans women are sexual predators. Remember, I used to be a Republican, once upon a time. I'm a pinko liberal now, but I was still fiscally conservative when I left the party. What drove me away was the ever-increasing, virulently homophobic rhetoric coming from within the party, and from conservative media like Fox News. For me, there wasn't enough tax policy to justify the harm it was doing to me, my friends, and my community.
And maybe your Republican agenda isn't the same as the party's, and I think that's great. But if you voted for Trump/Pence, you still voted for a VP whose entire political career has been defined by his hatred of gay and transgender individuals. (And now, voted for an administration that wants to fill its cabinet with anti-LGBTQ politicians and professionals, most notably Jeff Sessions and Tom Price.) If you voted for any Republican who has endorsed the platform, you have to own that, just like I have to own that by voting for Barack Obama, I voted for his shameful drone warfare program that's killed a lot of innocent civilians. I have written letters and made phone calls and protested against it, but that doesn't mean I get to disown my part in putting him in office and what he's done with that power.
And if you didn't vote for Trump/Pence, that's awesome! I really appreciate it. But please don't dismiss my concerns, or my fear, for myself and my LGBTQ siblings. I'd like to believe we are going to be fine, that nothing is going to backslide, but I'd be a fool to count on it when the national government is being run by a cadre of people who say our existence is a threat to society.

Jason Bourne is in a foreign country doing things that guys do when they have manpain. He just wants to be left alone. Then a shadowy part of the US government, headed by [old white guy] decides to do something sketchy that sets up the overly convoluted B-plot and also decides that this time he is going to get Jason Bourne. [competent female character] who assisted Bourne in the previous movie, has something important to tell him. Just then a government hit squad shows up and chases Bourne and [competent female character] through [country that has been in the news recently enough that American audiences might recognize it]. Bourne is about to get away before the government spooks kill [competent female character] in front of him.
Now Jason Bourne is really peeved. Bourne embarks on a path of revenge and self-discovery in which he cleverly avoids the shadowy government agents while the familiar score by John Powell and David Buckley plays. [new competent female character], a government agent introduced slightly earlier in the movie as helping out [old white guy], gets put in charge of running the op to capture Bourne. Because gosh darnit, this time they are going to get Bourne to come in. For really reals.
Some stuff happens with the B-plot, which involves [current buzzwords such as "social media" and "privacy" or maybe "kale"]. No one really cares, because the B-plot is overly complex and poorly explained, and really just exists to get [old white guy] into a position where Bourne can foil his plot, confront him, and then shoot him.
Afterwards, Bourne finds out a little bit more about his past and gets in a fight with [agent from yet another secret government program that no one has heard of before now], who wants to murder Bourne because he has been ordered to do so and also maybe because murdering Jason Bourne sounds like a great way to spend an evening. There is an extended car chase, things blow up, and Jason Bourne limps away with his newly acquired [information about his past that is still not quite enough] while his opponent does not.
[new competent female character] attempts to contact him, and Bourne lets her know that he has been stalking her, only it's cool instead of creepy because he's an ex-spook rather than a sexual predator, and that he would really please like to be left alone this time. Or else. He means it.
A new remix of Moby's Extreme Ways starts to play. Roll credits.

I'm still trying to figure out how to tell you about Arrival. What I can say other than it's a movie that made me laugh with sheer delight as the plot came together, and then cry because at the end of a really awful week (election week) it made me feel hope for humanity. You really ought to see it.
But it's hard for me to tell you in more detail what I liked about Arrival without seriously spoiling the plot, and it's one where I want you to go into it unspoiled. I want you to have that same moment I did, when you realize where things are going, and it just makes you happy.
So what can I tell you?
The movie is absolutely gorgeous, for one. The shot where you first get a real look at the alien ship as it floats over the clouds in Montana is majestic and eerie. It's not an effects/action extravaganza – a rare thing for scifi films these days, it feels like – but what they have is so well done. The moment where the characters go from Earth gravity to the strange, tilted gravity of the ship is eerie as well, an unexpected shift of perception.
Really, the inverted gravity of the alien ship rolls in with the plot, the shifting narrative to show the necessity of changing how we look at and understand the events of the film. The main character of the film, Louise (Amy Adams) is a linguist, so she's very concerned with what is said versus what is understood, bridging perceptions. The explanations of what she does and why (such as why building a mutual vocabulary using written language is better than with spoken) are all fascinating – particularly to someone who isn't very familiar with linguistics.
I also genuinely liked the character Donnelly, played by Jeremy Renner in a rare role where wears glasses to let us all know he's an intellectual. Donnelly starts out as very cocky and sure of himself, but once Louise convinces him that communication is key and the best approach isn't mathematical, he throws himself behind her efforts one hundred percent. It's a character dynamic that's particularly rare considering the gender split, and very enjoyable for that reason.
One of the main questions of the film is how humanity will deal with the arrival of aliens, a generally peaceful first contact. Will we come together, or will it tear us apart around already existent fault lines? The only fault that I can really find with the film is that after building up an intense and complicated international situation, the third act solution is a little too simple, a little too pat. The time travel bit of the story has the same sort of problems that many time travel plots have, which is that in the moment, it's delightful, and then later as you think about it, the problems of a deterministic universe become apparent.
Of course, it's a film that asks a lot more questions, about relationships, about what sort of journey makes the consequences worth it – about if you had a chance to do everything differently, would you still live the same life, even knowing how it all ends? These are all big, crunchy, human questions, and it explores them beautifully.
Full disclosure, I haven't read the Ted Chiang story that the move is adapted from, Story of Your Life. After what I've heard from my fellow podcast hosts on Skiffy and Fanty, it's definitely on my list.
If you need a beautiful, hopeful film, one that reminds you scifi film can be something other than explodey or tinged with existential horror, see Arrival. It's probably the most thoughtful film scifi I've seen since Her.

I kept meaning to talk about this earlier, but thanks to the ongoing dumpster fire that is everything to do with America right now, I haven't been able to get the necessary enthusiasm levels going. (And yes, it's petty in the face of all other things, but thanks a fucking bunch, Trump voters, for ruining both my BFF Mike's birthday and my book announcement day.)
So. DO OVER. The dumpster fire still burns, but I am carving out a place to be happy and excited about the fact that I have written a novel, and a publisher liked it so much that they bought said novel from me, with actual money, and will subsequently be printing it on thin sheets made from the corpses of trees and sending it out into the world.
And the cover? IS AWESOME.
(And yes, Alex Wells is me. Written under a pen name for reasons I shall explain some other time.)
It's a book about underdogs fighting corporate greed in the place of a weak and absent government. It's about a fledgling labor union. There's also gunfights and space witches, so I'd like to think there's something for everyone who wants to take down the man. And I wrote the rough draft of it many years ago.
If you regularly read my short stories, you've already met the woman on the cover. That's Hob Ravani, and her origin story made an appearance in Mothership Zeta.
I'm so excited about this, and I can't wait til you guys get a chance to read it!

Let me start with a geology story. I promise, there's a point to this.
When I was a geologist at the research company, I had a core come in. There was a ten foot section of it that I didn't know how to describe. It was fine-grained, filled with burrows. So far so good. But the mineralogy was… puzzling. Not enough dolomite to be described as a dolostone, not enough clay to be described as a mudrock, not enough quartz sand and silt to be described as some kind of sandstone or siltstone. It sat basically at the nexus of all possible rock types for that environment and was definitively none of them. In absolute frustration, I dubbed it "shit rock" and wrote all my reports and captions accordingly.
Of course, this is a business. I couldn't actually turn in reports to the client with the term "shit rock" used. So I had a long talk with my boss. The problem with geology, he explained, is that everything we work on is a continuum. So there will always be something that falls in that liminal state where you're not quite sure what it is, and even if you wanted to do battle with the rest of the community to coin a new term, you'd just be replacing one borderland with two. You can write definitions all day that will define 99.999% of all the rocks out there, but then some son of a bitch is going to come in with the 0.001% case because there are a lot of rocks on Earth, and one in a million things happen more often then any of us can grasp.
There will always be rocks that defy easy classification. You eventually just have to dip your toe into the art rather than science and describe it how you feel fits best – and then be ready to defend your decision.
Which comes to me. A little while ago on Twitter, I said:
I'm gonna be as visibly, loudly queer as possible. Because I *can* be. Because we exist. Stay safe.
— Rachael Acks (@katsudonburi) November 11, 2016
And then while I was taking a shower, because all my most important thinking happens in the shower or when I'm supposed to be trying to fall asleep, I realized that it was an empty thing to say without the rest of this post.
I've been nibbling at the edges of this for a while, trying to figure things out. But maybe it's the scientist in me, I don't like committing to anything unless I'm absolutely certain – and the thing about life is that absolute certainty is in shorter supply than most people would like to believe. Because what if I'm wrong? How do I defend something that I'm still figuring out? But I don't feel like I have the luxury of wibbling quietly into the night any more.
Because you see, in this way, gender's got something in common with geology. Everything works on a continuum. You will always find cases that defy classification, and no matter how frustrating that is, they don't go away. And that is part of the beauty of the world, trust me.
So how do I define myself? Queer, for certain. Sometimes it's easier to tell people what a rock – or yourself – isn't than what it is. I'm not female. I don't quite think I'm male either, but I'd have to give it a good few years try out before I could say for certain. Fuck knows, it's taken me something like 34 years to figure out the "not female" bit, but GOD it has been a relief since I reached that conclusion. So my big request here is to please use a gender-neutral pronoun (they) if possible. Or if you just can't make that work in your brain, because I know the verb conjugation gives people mental cramp at times, masculine (he).
And please, call me Alex. It started out as… not a joke, precisely, when I came up with my pen name. But it's grown on me, like a much more comfortable skin.
But there's a point to this, and it's not just me sitting at my keyboard and crying. I've been doing that too often in the last forty-eight hours.
When I was a baby queer growing up surrounded by kids and adults who thought "smear the queer" was a perfectly acceptable name for a game that involved throwing balls at other people so hard it gave them bruises (and I was one of those kids, because at the time I didn't know better), it was invaluable to me when I started seeing LGBT people openly be themselves. It told me that there were more options that I knew, that maybe I didn't have to keep trying to jam myself into a mold I didn't fit, and I could be happy.
Since the election yesterday, there's already been countless stories of racism, sexism, and homophobia being flung at people with renewed abandon. I live in a place where it's relatively safe – swing state turned pretty reliably blue state Colorado, in the Denver-Boulder area – to be out. So I think that I need to be as out as possible even if I'm not entirely happy with my R-squared values, because now more than ever it's important to make it known that we exist. That we will not go away. That people who are like me, who live in environments where they are not safe, are not alone even if they can only hold that truth silently in their heart.
Sometimes, merely living, existing, is an act of defiance, denying the narrative that we are fictional, or merely confused, or unhappy, or intrinsically broken.
Let this be my act of defiance. Let this be the first of many.
– Alex

I made it my goal to watch and review one new movie per week, so I wouldn't have a recurrence of the complete lack of any content I had in September and October. Of course, little did I know that my first weekend post-goal setting would be November 4 & 5, which offered up a smorgasbord of movies I could not even give less of a shit about (pack led by Jack Reacher) with a seasoning of movies I refuse to watch – let alone give any money to – on the principle of the thing. (I'm looking at yo, Dr. Strange and The Accountant.)
HBO Now came to my rescue. I have cable for internet but don't actually have it for TV, but my household decided that each of us ponying up $5 a month was worth getting access to HBO. I wanted it for the Westworld TV show, since I watched the movie last month for my Patreon subscribers and thought it had some really interesting concepts. I've watched the first episode now and I'm really excited to see more. I'm going to try to find the time to write about the episodes as I go, I think.
But anyway, this week's movie.
Vice is a super expensive resort populated by androids (in this world, called cydroids for reasons I never really figured out) who get their memories reset every 24 hours. The patrons of the resort are invited to do anything they want to the androids. And then things go haywire, when one android goes rogue.
Familiar, right? More Westworld TV show than movie, since it's not about a theme park eating its patrons. And rather than an old west theme park, Vice is deliberately a setting that's contemporary to the world in which it resides. The movie actually opens with two patrons doing a bank robbery – it's pretty clearly supposed to be live action GTA, including all the violence against women. With that setting, there's a little bit of commentary on society. The cop Roy (Thomas Jane) talks about how people practice to commit crimes in Vice and then do them in the real world, particularly violent crimes against women. And it's explicitly stated that the resort can really do what it wants because it brings in about half the city's tax revenue. Now there's a societal implication that could have had some real meat on it.
But the focus instead is on the android Kelly (Ambyr Childers), who through a glitch is able to remember at least portions of her supposedly erased past, most of it involving being murdered by various guests. She escapes, and then there's a lot of action scenes, because Vice wants its rogue android back, and Kelly, with a few others, wants to take the resort down.
When I explain the plot like that, it sounds like a decently fun movie, right? The problem is that there isn't much to either of the main characters to care about. Roy is weirdly greasy and incredibly unappealing. I kept waiting on the reveal for his traumatic past (lost his wife, maybe?) that would tell use why he constantly looked like he'd just come off a month-long bender. It never happened. He's a cipher, whose motivations, while explained, feel extremely thin.
Of course, he still gets better treatment in the script than Kelly. Despite the fact that her supposed gain of self awareness is the turning point of the plot, Kelly herself is functionally a football that various male characters pass around to move things forward. She gets about five seconds of apparent change from a passive to active character, development that is completely unearned by the lack of something even as simple as a goddamn montage, and entirely indicated by her slicking her hair back and dressing in black leather. Set as it is against a backdrop of constant violence against women and a camera that is remarkably male gaze-y even for an action movie, it's even more troubling.
If Vice had spent more time on plot and character and less time on its interminable, too-dark, and thoroughly generic gunfights, it might have been a decent film. Maybe. If it had also employed someone on the creative team actually, I don't know, talking to a female human being for five minutes so that they would realize women are more than sexy robot lamps.

Super Smash Bros. Endeavor
this wiki
|Hey! Listen!
|Super Smash Bros. Endeavor
| Pixelburst Gaming
Sora Ltd.
|Release Date(s)
| ?
|Age Rating(s)
|Media Included
|Squarebomb cartridge; Online download.
The fifth Super Smash Bros. game in the series, Super Smash Bros. Endeavor (often referred to simply as SSBE) is the sequel to the fourth Smash Bros. titles, Super Smash Bros. for Wii U/3DS. The game is co-developed by Sora Ltd., a past developer of the Super Smash Bros. series, and Pixelburst, a hyper-small company which, oddly enough, mostly develops RPGs. As with previous Smash Bros. titles, this game introduces a wide selection of new Nintendo all-stars to the cast.
| Mario
Super Mario Bros.
|No Smash Bros. game would be complete without Nintendo's grand hero! Mario retains his classic moveset from previous titles, albeit with the return of his Mario Tornado and the introduction of a new Final Smash!
|St. Special - Fireball
|Up Special - Super Jump Punch
|Side Special - Cape
|Down Special - Mario Tornado
|Final Smash - Gold Mario
| Luigi
Super Mario Bros.
|Just as no Smash Bros. game would be complete without Mario, no game with Mario would be just right without the little bro with nothing to lose! And this time, he isn't taking foes on alone...
|St. Special - Iceball
|Up Special - Luiginary Boost
|Side Special - Green Missile
|Down Special - Luigi Cyclone
|Final Smash - Luiginary Attack
| Link
The Legend of Zelda
|The legendary Hero of Time and wielder of the Master Sword! This version gifts Link with the Twilight Princess look once more - Gale Boomerang and all - but introduces a more fitting Final Smash.
|St. Special - Hero's Bow
|Up Special - Spin Attack
|Side Special - Gale Boomerang
|Down Special - Bomb
|Final Smash - Light Arrow
| Pikachu
|The most well-known Pokémon, Pikachu is back. He's most noteworthy for being among the faster fighters, featuring excellent mobility and projectile range. Plus, no enemy could hit something so cute...!
|St. Special - Thunder Wave
|Up Special - Quick Attack
|Side Special - Skull Bash
|Down Special - Thunder
|Final Smash - Volt Tackle
| Jigglypuff
|A featherweight of a Pokémon and one of the floatiest fighters in Smash. She may be good in the air, but she can be sent flying so easily! Good thing she has a few moves that make up for her paper-thin defenses.
|St. Special - Rollout
|Up Special - Sing
|Side Special - Pound
|Down Special - Rest
|Final Smash - Hyper Voice
| Kirby
|An adorable pink puffball from Dreamland with limited flight, the ability to copy his enemies, and a large variety of other special powers. Yeah, he's real dangerous. If only he wasn't such a lightweight.
|St. Special - Inhale
|St. (Copy Ability) - Copied Attack
|Up Special - Final Cutter
|Side Special - Hammer Flip
|Down Special - Stone
|Final Smash - Hypernova
| Fox
Star Fox
|Leader of the galactic mercenary team called Star Fox, as well as an ace pilot. Fox brings a Blaster and a Reflector to his land fights, as he did in previous games, and can also call in a tank-like Landmaster.
|St. Special - Blaster
|Up Special - Fire Fox
|Side Special - Fox Illusion
|Down Special - Reflector
|Final Smash - Landmaster
| Donkey Kong
Donkey Kong
|The king of the jungle, Donkey Kong likes to relax with his banana hoard, but often finds himself on adventures to reclaim said hoard. Usually from crocodiles. Crocodiles can't even eat bananas, though...
|St. Special - Giant Punch
|Up Special - Spinning Kong
|Side Special - Headbutt
|Down Special - Hand Slap
|Final Smash - Barrel Cannon
| Samus
|A bounty hunter who more often than not ends up acting more like pest control. She is armed with a variety of special weapons, including an arm-mounted plasma cannon, a stash of missiles and bombs, and vision filters.
|St. Special - Charge Shot
|Up Special - Screw Attack
|Side Special - Missile
|Down Special - Bomb
|Final Smash - Zero Laser
| Yoshi
Yoshi's Island
|A friendly green dinosaur with an unquenchable appetite for monsters and fruit. It's also an occasional, if infrequent, babysitter. This time around, it ups its ammunition size with its new Mega Eggdozer Final Smash!
|St. Special - Egg Lay
|Up Special - Egg Throw
|Side Special - Egg Roll
|Down Special - Yoshi Bomb
|Final Smash - Mega Eggdozer
| Ness
|A brave young lad who trades swords and magic for baseball bats and psychic power on his quest to defeat Giygas. He can also talk to animals and teleport long distances. Don't be fooled by his youth!
|St. Special - PSI Flash
|Up Special - PSI Thunder
|Side Special - PSI Fire
|Down Special - PSI Magnet
|Final Smash - PSI Starstorm
| Captain Falcon
|St. Special - Falcon Punch
|Up Special - Falcon Dive
|Side Special - Raptor Boost
|Down Special - Falcon Kick
|Final Smash - Falcon Inferno
| Battlefield
Super Smash Bros.
|Another take on the most standard stage! This hilltop temple has appeared in nearly every prior title, and is a staple of Smash Bros. games. It's four-platform layout and small design makes it ideal for simple fights.
| Final Destination
Super Smash Bros.
|The competitive player's choice, thanks to it's simple, hazard-free style. The best of the best duke it out on this featureless, rather wide stage to prove that they're REAL Super Smash Bros. players.
Smash Trophies
Assist Trophies aid the summoner in various ways by either harming their enemies or boosting their strengths. They despawn after a short amount of time.
| Lubba
Super Mario Bros.
|Upon being called in, Lubba will create a rain of Starbits and other small items. The rain does a small bit of damage and has fixed (and low) knockback. He may also call down a meteor!
| Saria
The Legend of Zelda
|Saria sits on a tree stump in the spot where she was summoned, playing a merry tune on the Fairy's Ocarina and increasing the power, knockback resistance, and speed of the summoner. Occasionally, her song also summons Darunia!
| Batreaux
The Legend of Zelda
|The friendly demon enters with a menacing roar, but quickly becomes frightened by all of the fighting. If all of the players can agree to stop fighting for a sec, the pleased Batreaux will summon a few rare items before despawning.
| Ditto
|Ditto appears on stage and strikes a cute pose. After a few moments, it will transform into a random fighter and fight alongside the summoner for a short period of time. (Ditto's attacks only deal 1/2 of the original damage.)
| Broom Hatter
|This rather below-average Assist just moves across the stage methodically, sweeping the ground. Enemies that run into him get damaged, and his broom tosses items around, but otherwise? He kinda sucks.
| Peppy
Star Fox
|Peppy hops off of the stage and into an Arwing. He occasionally swoops in, firing at opponents with blasts or Smart Bombs or knocking them off their feet with a well-placed barrel roll.
| Metroid
|The namesake of its home game, the Metroid seeks out opponents and latches onto their heads. It then proceeds to deal continuous damage to the host, over and over. They can be dispelled early by ice attacks.
| Lyn
Fire Emblem
|Lyn stands in place for a moment, a hand on her sword, while concentrating intensely on the opponents, before suddenly and almost unavoidably striking a random opponent at high-speed with her blade.
| Isabelle
Animal Crossing
|The mayor's secretary. She aids the fighter who summoned her in by tossing healing fruits their way. Of course, if the fruit misses, enemies can snatch them up from off of the ground...
| Cream and Cheese
Sonic the Hedgehog
|Cream and her Chao buddy follow the summoner. Having her follow the summoner allows them to perform three extra small jumps after their initial jump. It also works on Multi-Jump characters.
Boss Trophies are much, much rarer - almost never appearing in Time matches under five minutes in length - and change the pacing of the battle quite a bit. Unlike Assist Trophies, they do not despawn after short periods of time. Most will always attempt to do harm to all players except the summoner, and only despawn when defeated. They also release a specific hazardous effect when defeated that doesn't harm the summoner or the one who landed the finishing blow, such as an explosion. The bosses summoned by these trophies also appear in Adventure Mode as... well... bosses! (With a boost in health and power, of course.)
| Petey Piranha
Super Mario Bros.
| A beast of a plant, Petey Piranha takes up a large portion of the screen. He fights with twin Chain Chomps in the place of two certain cages from his previous appearance in Smash, scraping them across the field and swinging them in circles. He can also jump across the stage. Overall, he's the Mario of the bosses in terms of stat balance.
Upon defeat, Petey Piranha wobbles, then collapses, launching foes that he lands on, before slipping off of the stage.
Theme: Vs. Boss
| King Boo
Super Mario Bros.
| The king. Of the Boos. King Boo does not fight enemies directly, but instead weaves illusions and deceptions. Players are given few opportunities to strike at him directly, but when they are, this spectre is bound to be in trouble. While hiding, he harms players using mischievous traps and swarms of Boos.
Upon defeat, King Boo and his army is sucked offstage by a whirlwind. This chaotic departure can result in players being hit by the Boos or even caught in the whirlwind.
Theme: King Boo Battle
| Fawful
Super Mario Bros.
| One of the weakest bosses but by far one of the fastest. Fawful's mobility is insane, and his small size makes him a tricky target. He uses his helmet to fly across the stage, and will vacuum up players and items to use as makeshift projectiles. Sometimes, when summoned, he enters his more powerful Dark Fawful form.
Upon defeat, Fawful puffs up and then explodes, releasing stars that rebound off of walls and floors and damage foes.
Theme: In The Final
| King Dodongo
The Legend of Zelda
| A brute of a dinosaur, armed with flaming breath and powerful armor. However, if you're willing to risk taking fire damage, you can damage him by striking his mouth when it opens! He also has tank-like HP, but a severe weakness to bomb items, so if your character has an explosive attack, you might want to use that.
Upon defeat, King Dodongo flails about, breathing fire wildly and knocking foes away while slowly turning into stone, before exploding.
Theme: Boss Battle: Ocarina of Time
| Toon Ganondorf
The Legend of Zelda
| Toon Ganondorf is one of the more mobile bosses. Armed with a design and moveset taken from Wind Waker, Toon Ganondorf jumps across the stage and strikes foes with his dual swords. He is rather vulnerable to people reflecting his projectiles, and light-based techniques tends to deal extensive damage to him.
Upon defeat, Ganondorf slowly turns into a statue mid-movement. The statue can be shattered by attacks, releasing shrapnel.
Theme: Ganondorf Battle
| Rayquaza
| No. 384 in the Pokédex, and the Flying- and Dragon-type Sky High Pokémon. This airborne menace fights foes using powerful mouth-based blast of energy and spear-like body strikes. It moves quickly and strikes hard, but follows a predictable movement pattern and doesn't move from its spawn point when not attacking.
Upon defeat, Rayquaza retreats to the foreground and charges towards the stage for one last-ditch attack - releasing a shockwave that damages ground-based foes - before falling away.
Theme: Battle! Zinnia
| Giratina (Origin Forme)
| No. 487 in the Pokédex, and the Ghost- and Dragon-type Renegade Pokémon. This is the form that Giratina takes in the Distortion World, and it's much more hostile in this form. It uses a variety of dark techniques to strike foes at high speed, but it rarely moves from the spot it was summoned into.
Upon defeat, Giratina is pulled into the Distortion World by a mysterious vortex. The vortex also pulls foes inwards, launching them away on contact.
Theme: Battle! Giratina
| Heavy Lobster
| A massive metal beast that protects Meta Knight's flying warship, the Halberd, from intruders. Aside from a few new attacks involving it's new axis of movement, the Heavy Lobster's attack strategies are identical to those that it used when first encountered on the Halberd all those years ago.
Upon defeat, the Heavy Lobster collapses, armor scattering. The scrap parts can be picked up and thrown.
Theme: Heavy Lobster
Donkey Kong
| A floating war machine trapping two certain Kongs within. This monstrosity floats around the stage, blasting foes with it's jet booster, blades, lasers, and boxing gloves. It's sole vulnerable point is it's head, so aim well, jump high, and make sure you have plenty of powerful aerial attacks on hand!
Upon defeat, KAOS releases a series of explosion as it sinks to the ground, then releases a larger explosion.
Theme: Boss Boogie
| Cragalanche
Kid Icarus
| The rock-formed commander of Viridi's Forces of Nature. He's a powerhouse in his own right, and has TONS of health. His attacks include rolls, slams, ground pounds, and megaton punches. But despite this boss's health and attack power, it is ridiculously slow and very large. Plus, it has a weak spot on it's back.
Upon defeat, Cragalanche collapses. His heavy weight can knock foes away. He then slowly sinks into the ground - reclaimed by the earth.
Theme: Boss Battle 1
| Porky
| Once known as Pokey Minch, this young man joined the side of Giygas during Ness' era at the cost of his sanity. Upon Giygas' defeat, he fled via time travel - this time at the cost of his body, causing him to become sickly and frail. So he fights inside a spider-like mech. It is rather slow, but boasts a wide array of electrical and explosive-based attacks.
Upon defeat, Porky's mech explodes, dealing damage to foes within vicinity.
Theme: Porky Means Business!
| Flying Men
| The yellow aerial stage hazard from SSB3DS gets an upgrade! The aerial menace fights almost exclusively from in the air, targeting foes with diving tackles and midair strikes. Unlike most other bosses, he has no health! He can only be KOd be knocking him off of the stage - similarly to the fighters! Oh, also, you fight five of these guys in a row.
Upon defeat, the Flying Men simply get launched off-screen like any other foe. However, with each one's death, they leave behind a gravestone. When all five are down, the gravestones disappear from the stage.
Theme: F-F-Fire!
| Metal Face
Xenoblade Chronicles
| One of the few Mechon with a face, a voice, and resistance to the Monado, Metal Face is an extremely cruel and taunting fellow. He strikes foes with swift slashes. His most dangerous feature, however, is his armor - which nullifies physical damage. However, if one has access to elemental techniques, or can topple him with a few well-placed Smash attacks...
Upon defeat, Metal Face releases an explosion comparable to the Smart Bomb (if weaker) while flying haphazardly about the stage.
Theme: Confrontation with the Enemy
| Chef
Game & Watch
| A jerky and durable fry cook who fights by flinging meat across the stage. You may remember him from Flat Zone 2, where he appeared as a stage hazard. This time, though, he's willing to cook up both curry and enemies on his trusty frying pan, so be sharp or fight him from a distance!
Upon defeat, Chef gives up and simply walks off of the stage. But if an enemy is caught on his frying pan when he's defeat, he'll carry them away with him!
Theme: Flat Zone
| Metal Sonic
Sonic the Hedgehog
| Mimicking Sonic's high-speed attacks and using a few special techniques of his own, Metal Sonic (quite similarly to his flesh counterpart) is one of the fastest yet smallest bosses. He's also pretty hardy, too! However, most of his attacks are a bit weak and fairly easy to dodge.
Upon defeat, Metal Sonic spirals towards a foe, exploding on contact with the ground.
Theme: Rival Battle - Metal Sonic
| Blinky, Inky, Pinky, & Clyde
|75 each
| These four multicolored poltergeists float around the stage, each following their own specific movement patterns in their attempt to knock foes into each other for some epic teamwork juggling. Individually, however, they are quite weak, so take them down one by one, and victory is yours!
Upon defeat, the four ghosts simply turn into eyes and fly off of the stage.
Theme: PAC-MAN (Club Mix)
| Master Hand
Super Smash Bros.
| A classic boss in Smash Bros. history, this giant right hand strikes with all of his old techniques - blasts from a finger gun, slamming into the ground, and other moves that you would expect from a giant floating hand. However, he doesn't move from his usual position, and doesn't attack to frequently, so it's easy to whale at him.
Upon defeat, Master Hand flies into the background, exploding slowly before releasing one final shockwave that can launch foes.
Theme: Final Destination
| Crazy Hand
Super Smash Bros.
| A slightly wilder brother of Master Hand, this colossal left hand uses tactics similar to those of Master Hand, but with a few odd twists and crazy variations on attacks. Unpredictability is the edge that this fist has on it's counterpart. On rare occasions, though, both Master Hand and Crazy Hand can be summoned at once...
Upon defeat, Crazy Hand flies into the background, exploding slowly before releasing three small shockwaves that vary in rhythm and can launch foes. And if he AND Master Hand were summoned and defeated, something even stronger is summoned...
Theme: Final Destination

I'm speechless
This series is so thought provoking. This particular episode was so emotional I nearly cried.
Not as good as the rest
But good none the less. This one didn't have as many scene changes it felt like as the others. It was just that drawing of them in bed a lot. Now I have to find out were the rest of the movies in this series are, for I greatly wish to continue this series. Anyways, all in all, excellent job. They've really changed my outlook on comics.
This is by far, the best flash I have seen ever. What most people who are giving you bad results don't realise is that this isnt really a flash movie, this is a comic book. Its turning out to be a very, VERY good one too.
The design of the story, as well as the character design, fits perfectly with the style of animation the author chose to use. It doesn't include much movement because thats not what a comic book does, rather then actually have the movement seen, you see it in your mind. With every episode I see, I find that the author is getting that much better.
Keep it up man, I can see this being one of the best ever.
What the heck is that supposed to be?
That's one minute of my life I'll never get back. It makes no sense, absolutely nothing happens. If I want to see text I'll read a book. Sorry man.
better than the last
Still not nough action for my taste, but it'll do

Boarding passesJul 28, 20163My daughter is coming from EIS on Seaborne to SJU then connecting to Chicago on AA. Seaborne didn't give her boarding passes for her other flights. Can she get her boarding passes inside security? She has 2 hours there. She checked a bag and it will go all the way to her final destination.JtumbleweedThu, Jul 28Yes, she should be able to get her AA boarding pass at the AA gate in SJU.ZAPThu, Jul 28Thanks for the info. She ended up with her bag outside of security after coming out of customs. Which was a good thing because her flight to ORD was delayed 5hrs and they put her on another flight, which she made...luckily she had tsa precheck to go back through security. She's gone through SJU 8 times now and seems like it's different each time. At least Verizon works there now. ThxjtumbleweedThu, Jul 28

What airlines are you flying?ZAPSat, Jul 16I have the same question with the same destinations, flying in with United and flying the STT with Seaborne Air. So we have to grab our bag from baggage claim and go through security again? It was all made on one reservations. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!JLeroyTue, Aug 9If your ticket was booked on one reservation, you will not have to claim bags upon landing in San Juan. You will simply have to go from your United arrival gate to your Seaborne departure gate. However, beware that Seaborne may depart in a separate concourse, causing you to have to go through security anyways.ANDYFri, Aug 12

Within hours of the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP)-led Delhi government filing written submissions in the Supreme Court siding with Haryana over the Sutlej-Yamuna Canal (SYL) issue, the government booted out its counsel saying his submissions were "unauthorised", adding that he was an appointee of the previous Congress government. The Kejriwal government said it would make fresh submissions in the court on the matter.
Counsel Suresh Tripathy, representing Delhi Jal Board in the ongoing hearing of a Presidential reference in the matter, told the court that Punjab had gone beyond its legal competence in unilaterally passing the Punjab Termination of Agreement Act, 2004, echoing Haryana's stand on the issue.
The Delhi government's submissions were criticised by the ruling SAD and Congress saying AAP supremo Arvind Kejriwal had "shown" that he is son of Haryana and had no love for Punjab and its people.
The move has left the AAP red-faced once again, with the party having barely recovered from Kejriwal's flip-flop on the issue. During his last visit to Punjab on March 15, Kejriwal had firmly backed Punjab's stand saying the state had no water to share with anyone. Faced with ire from Haryana, his native state, Kejriwal went back on the statement a few days later, saying there should be no politics over water. His party men, led by Punjab incharge Sanjay Singh, also held a press conference trying to clarify that Kejriwal was not taking a stand against Haryana but was talking on "merit".
In damage control mode, a press communication issued by the AAP on Friday evening said, "Before submitting the affidavit in the Supreme Court, the counsel has neither informed the chief executive operator nor the chairman of Jal Board, Kapil Mishra. The counsel submitted the same 11 paragraphs out of 12 submitted by the then Congress-led Delhi government in 2006. Delhi Jal Board does not agree with the written submissions filed by counsel Suresh Tripathy and has decided to remove him from its panel, who was appointed by the previous Congress government."
Reacting to the AAP "mistake", deputy chief minister Sukhbir Singh Badal, speaking in Amritsar, slammed Kejriwal for directing its counsel to side with Haryana. "Kejriwal should now apologise to the farmers of Punjab for making them believe that he supported their cause. There is nothing wrong in loving one's native state (Haryana) or the adopted one (Delhi), but one should be open about it and not befool people," he said.
Meanwhile, senior Congress leader Rajinder Kaur Bhattal also lambasted the AAP for supporting Haryana during the hearing in the Supreme Court on Friday. Bhattal said now the cat was out of the bag and the Delhi government's stand on the SYL had exposed the doublespeak of the AAP leadership. Bhattal said she had earlier warmed that since Kejriwal belonged to Haryana, he would not protect Punjab's interests on waters.

Different exorcisms
The theater as prophylaxis and therapy against the malaise of the mind and of the heart
Almost going back to the cathartic purpose of the classical Greek tragedy, the contemporary theater becomes an exorcism of today's insecurities. Starting with the festival in Trentino Drodesera (20-28/7) with Riscatto Morpheus, an involving walk-in performance by the Romanian group Apparatus 22 who invent a mystical and ritual place where the spectators, one by one, are welcomed by the artists themselves.
Also the festival Teatro a Corte in Turin (6-22/7) proposes three liberating shows. Dedicated to the insecure is Malediction (8/7), by Brazilian group Duda Paiva: protagonists of which are envy and rivalry, that materialize into a strange creature. For those who fear solitude, there's The door project, by the English group Sam Parson and Clara García Fraile. And lastly addressing the over prudent in Rhizikon by Chloé Moglia, specialist in air disciplines: it overturns the horizontal plane on which we all move.
At the Festival di Santarcangelo di Romagna (13-22/7), then, the New Yorker Richard Maxwell exorcizes our deepest black holes with Ads (Santarcangelo), by gathering amongst the inhabitants of the place a puzzle of personal and spontaneous statements.
