The Incredible Jessica James (2017)

Logged onto Netflix Friday planning to rewatch 30 Rock and crush on my thic bae Jack Donaghy when I see a banner for The Incredible Jessica James and don't care about anything on it but the little head of my #actingbae Keith Stanfield (or is it LaKeith? He's weird, I can tell now.), so I immediately watch it. Like, and not for the RIGHT reason. Jessica Williams is a black woman like me and LOOK! she's starring in a film, so that should be my reason but it wasn't. Sigh, at least I didn't watch for Chris O'Dowd. Like, AT LEAST I HAVE NEVER CARED ABOUT CHRIS O'DOWD. I mean, he's fine. But IT Crowd was all about Moss and what else have I seen Chris in? Uhhh Bridesmaids? That was all about literally everyone else. So.

What am I doing please send assistance. Anyway, Incredible Jessica is about some chick named Jessica James and it opens with her on a date with some scared white dude she met off Tinder, I think? Do people really do dating apps like that? Every time I hear about these things I just get concerned for these people like aren't you afraid to be murdered or AIDS? Lol, idk maybe I'm too scary. BUT LIKE that white dude met Jessica on Tinder and decided to meet up with her and then he does and she is going the fuck in on him when all he wanted was to get some puss and maybe a grilled cheese. So people SHOULD be more concerned for themselves, smh. Like!! 

Anyway, Jessica...just broke up with her bae Damon, played by LaKeither. So...she's a mess. A part of me felt Jessica was doing entirely too much being all in this white dude's face with her fucking septum piercing. And she was mad rude base telling him she was only there because she knows her ex would be at the bar and she wanted to...make him jealous or some shit? Idk, but she's truly awful. Lol, like...right? She was mad...like annoying and just awful. LOOK, I AM AWFUL TOO so I am not judging but it was...a lot. And I don't even know if we as the audience are even supposed to be thinking that so just some squinty eye ionoboutalladis from me and now let's move on.

WAIT CAN WE TALK ABOUT WHEN DAMON WALKED IN WITH SOME HOMELY ASIAN CHICK ON HIS ARM AND JESSICA WAS ALL GEEZUS SHE'S HOT???? Uhhhhhhhhhh lol. Idk if it's cuz Jessica is from Ohio or she only hangs out with Noël Wells and some eleven year old kids or what but...girl, no.

So blah blah things don't work out with that white dude she was dragging for filth. Shame. Soooo Jessica is talking about her dating woes to her friend White Girl and how she misses Damon or whatever so her "friend" hooks her up with some dude she BARELY KNOWS. All she knows is that he's a recent divorcé. Girl........wheht??? WHO!!! Hooks up their friend with some old white dude who JUST got dumped by his wife? Smfh...

So Jessica goes on some date with Chris O'Dowd from Family Tree which no one watched but was funny, and she is...so completely rude and...like kind of giving me Aspergers teas or something?? Oh, also Jessica is like super-obsessed with theater (Don't care?) annnnd she works with a bunch of cute little kids in some...cute little kids theater program. Chris asks Jessica on their date how she pays rent and she responds that's her job and he is like how do u pay rent lol. And she says she lives deep Bushwick or whatever, but like, what does that theater program pay? Or, how? Didn't she say it was a non-profit?? I lowkey hate when I watch shows with young people in the city and they have some random ass job and their own apartment with no roommate. She wasn't living in like some big ass Friends-style bungalow or whatever..but cum on. Does this job even exist? Maybe but I don't think so. So here I am squinting my eyes, yet again. I do have astigmatism..

So Jessica's date with whatever his name is imma just call him Chris as a sign of disrespect, is naught gewd. However they go home together and fuck (maybe just oral). Do people........do this? This is why Usher has herpes, like we've got to be more discerning. Also, who just goes up to some white dude's house? Some white dude you barely know? I just assume every white dude is either 1. Patrick Bateman 2. Jeff Dahms or 3. Shia LaBeouf. I'm not not going inside anywhere or up some stairs with them, but Jessica said she was six feet tall so maybe she wasn't too worried.

Blahblahblah what happens? Jessica is writing some play and I think keeps getting distracted thinking about Damon? Was it weird how...she kinda made it seem he dumped her when she dumped him? I don't understand obsessing over a dude you dropped. She said she was upset because he didn't "fight" for the relationship and Damon (in her imagination??) was like...but we were already in a relationship. I don't even know if I want to put energy into agreeing with that because I believe after he said that maybe a piano fell on him?? Or?? Sigh, idk. I just don't know. Anyway, Jessica keeps getting plays rejected. Lol I've submitted plays before. I had one ~produced~ but it was some coonery, so let's move on. But just know: nothing matters.

At some point Jessica goes home to her family in Ohio. I related maybe to like...that distant feeling. Though I'm not one of those who ~*~escaped to the Big App~ to get away from them, but most just cuz I'm lazy. I guess...when we meet Jessica's family we're supposed to see she kind of rejects...Ohio (who doesn't??), annnnd like her sister having a kid young and being all loved up. Jessica has HIGHER ASPIRATIONS. SHE WILL WRITE PLAYS LIKE SARAH JAMES. There's a bit where all her fam is sitting around watching some shitty romcom all loved up I guess and Jess gets in her feelings? Why idk, but it was real funny when she dragged that duncey white broad for pretending to eat poop outta diaper, and that's all I got from that.

Jessica also has some big writing workshop she's trying to do with her theater students. Can we talk about her harassing that one girl (extremely cute, btw) who initially couldn't go to the workshop because it was her dad's weekend with her and her bro and he was taking them to Six Flags? It was awkward at best how hard Jessica was going for this. Like, getting all involved in the divorce drama of that girl's parents and not respecting that the girl might care more about spending time with her dad than being bougie with Jessica at some theater retreat?? It was just hella tone deaf and it was getting kinda scary lol like who let this broad be around children?? Idk but I did like their scenes and I loved that little ~diverse, ethnic mix~ of children. They were cute as hell so imma just ignore all that weird stuff Jessica would be doing with them :') 

Can we talk about that weird Instagram stalking sideplot? No. But I thought it was funny how Damon had like three followers. Very me. Anyway, blah blah Chris fucks his wife, Jess...weirdly..CAN WE TALK ABOUT HOW SHE FORCED HERSELF UP TO HIS APARTMENT THAT ONE TIME WHEN HE WAS LIKE WE SHOULD TAKE IT SLOW???? UHHHHHH. Can you imagine a dude doing that? Jessica is giving me anti-hero at best here lol, idk girl...

Blahblah the kids put on their plays. Somewhere in here Noël Wells is forced upon me yet again (Master of None war flashbacks) and I have to sit and pretend that her and Jessica's false ass friendship means anything to me. Jessica was tighter with that little girl from her theater class. Shoulda gave her the vibrator, imo, but she was already pushing her luck with that one, so nvm.

Overall I thought this was funnyish and was entertained mostly and I like Jessica Williams eventho her character was highly questionable?? Like I know I was complaining a lot (it's all I do), but I was into it. Definitely needed more LaKeither, but what doesn't? Hold on, though, because I heard this was supposed to be a TV show? Or maybe I just heard Jessica Williams had a TV deal. I hope. I feel like she has "IT". I've definitely been looking for this from the newer up and coming black actresses and I feel like she is def one I want to see in a bunch of stuff. She's been pretty successful so it kinda looks like she'll keep going at an incline, which I'm excited about. I definitely want a TV show, but mabe something different from this. Or maybe the same? Like Broadchurch or whatever, but with some black chicks. Wait, what is--BROAD CITY! Lol, smh. Anyway, make a black Broadchurch with Jessica, don't play games with me.

You Get Me (2017)

A part of me wonders why this movie exists. Like, why it was made. There's something weird and inappropriate-seeming about it being a thing. It has this like weird ass squeaky-clean Disney vibe, but is also the entire plot of Fatal Attraction. Very strange. But is this exactly the type of movie I like to watch on-purpose because I know it will be really freaking stupid and give me a nice, hearty laugh deep in my bones? Yes, and that's one of my top 5 favorite movie genres, so I'm not gonna complain too much. I am glad it exists, it just feels...like kind of illegal, and like I want to question the people behind the movie. Like who pitched/wrote/produced it. What's their deal? But just like I pretend the deep web doesn't exist because I'm scared, imma act like these people are normal and nice and fine and keep it moving and mind my fucking business :)

So alright, the movie stars a bunch of milk teeth white kids and they are so Hollister 2007 I can't breathe. The only one who sort of deviates from the white teeth teen aesthetic is Bella Thorne, who plays the crazy, psycho slut bitch or whatever. Bella Thorne looks mad dirty lol. This is bad to say she's mad young but every time I see her, she just looks gross. I've never seen her in anything before this so all I knew about her was from being weird on social media. I def feel like I am too old to know about this person. But there was a time I had no idea who she was. It wasn't until pretty recently I had any idea. I remember seeing all these write-ups and like pap photos of this chick and being like...who is this? I aged out of Disney shit like before even High School Musical came out, so I don't know these current corny freaks and I feel glad, but I am def annoyed I know who Bella is now. Well, not know, really. But I saw she was dissed by like Scott Disick on a yacht or something and will someone thrash me against the underside of a cliff many times, once and for all, so this can all stop happening? Thanks.

Bells was perf cast as the crazy psycho stalker bitch. The Kidz Bop Glenn Close, I guess (no). The main white boy is named Tyler (DUH) and he's new in town (WHO CARES) and he meets this JC Penney catalog model named Alison. It's true luv or whatever. Tyler has a friend played by one of those youtube boys (why are his eyes so close together?) named Who Cares, who sees Alison and is all like to Tyler ~don't mess this up, bro~~~~. Literally in the next scene Tyler is spazzing out because some dude Alison used to fuck or date is making these gross comments about her to Tyler. The dude making the comments is mad ugly lol Tyler shoulda just paid it dust. But he start going off on Alison or whatever. It's just like embarrassing high school shit. 

Tyler leaves the party because him and Alison get into a fight. I can't remember if she asks him to leave or whatever it doesn't even remotely matter. Tyler goes outside and fucking Bella, playing some greasy thot named Holly, is waiting for him outside in her car. Oh, I forgot he met her in line for the bathroom earlier. Redflag for me would've been when she was talking about how she got stood-up at the party. Is it just me or is that mad embarrassing and not something you just openly talk about? Idk, I don't date, but that's not something I would think is a cute little anecdote, I would think it would make me look like something was off about me lol, but maybe I'm projecting because RIGHT AWAY Holly looks crazy. Idk if it's her strong jawline, or twelve pounds of makeup or what, but I woulda slapped a Hazmat suit on immediately after meeting ol' girl and never take it off again until I heard she was dead and buried with cement poured on top. But that's just me. 

Tyler doesn't really question why Holly is outside the party in some expensive ass car. Is it just me or do these White Teeth Teen movies and TV shows always have these literal kids looking extra grown? Bella looking like somebody's thirty year old, junkie stepmom in that grown ass car, and Tyler big as shit. The only ones who looked actual teeny were Nash and ol' girl who played Alison, but also Alison had on what seemed like a weird amount of makeup sometimes? Like kind of pageanty almost? And that Asian chick looked like their fucking mom. Am I being hyperbolic? NO!!!!! 

So Holly is like HOP IN! or whatever. Why does Tyler just go with her? It sucks that dudes usually never have to worry about getting murdered when they hop in cars with literal strangers. (Well, this case is a bad example spoiler alert, but you know what I mean!). Holly is like ~I want to show you something~~~~~~ and Tyler is like uh doyyyyy where are we going~?~?~?. Holly takes him to some big ugly mansion and they start fucking because of course. I'm confused, because does not Tyler have a girlfriend? Y'all have one fight and you right away fucking someone else? Even if you thought you broke up, wouldn't you think, if you loved Alison so much, there would be a great chance for reconciliation? I get these are TeEnS, but come on. 

WHAT DISTURBED ME MOST about Tyler having some like fuckcation at the manse with Holly was that the movie made it seem like he was the primary caretaker for his little sister??? Right??? UMMMMM DON'T YOU NEED TO CHECK IN CONCERNING WHO'S LOOKING AFTER HER AND WHAT NOT?? I get it was the mom's ultimate responsibility, but the movie def made it seem he looked after his sister while she was at work, which he intimidated she did a lot. The movie def glossed over that so Tyler could be rolling around with Holly like they were the only two people left in the world and everyone had died and they aint have shit else to do, but okay!  

For some reason, Holly acts like she's just house sitting for that mansion, when we find out later she lives there with her stepmom. I don't know why she lies. She says she lives somewhere else (I forget where who cares), but is like oh maybe I'll move here permanently so we can be together. Lol, too bad Tyler eventually peaces out and disses her stupid ass with like some condescending forehead kiss and a This Was Fun, but best be going. Like, it was clear he had no plans to ever see her again and I was fucking cackling.

Okay, so of course first day of school new year, Holly is there as a new student. Sucks, because him and Alison got back together (it literally took one like five second convo for them to clear everything up smfh) (oh btw Alison revealed to Tyler she used to let the entire lacrosse team run a train on her or whatever at her old school and she did marijuana tablets every day I guess so she moved to where they are to start over so she's a follower and a loser lowkey so some foreshadowing on that ass right there). Tyler acting all shook because he sees Holly. She literally sits her ginger ass next to him in some science class they have and tries to act all easy breezy. Then later Tyler is chillin' with his friends and bae in the caf and I think Nash brings Holly to the table like LOOK NEW STUDENT, NEW MEMBER OF THE SQUAD. 

Wait, hold up. 

Is this a white people thing? They literally immediately induct Holly into their squad. They don't take a second to vet this bitch. They're RIGHT AWAY making plans to hang out. ...You don't even know her?? What the fuck? Is this just weird to me? This how that Asian end up getting poisoned, BUT I'M SKIPPING AHEAD!! 

So Holly hanging out with Tyler and his crew, cozying all up and shit. Tyler getting his panties in a bunch. Oh, I forgot before they started hanging, Tyler sent a text to Holly, telling her to meet him in some secret, creepy place. Of course Holly thinks it's to fuck (why??), but Tyler is like lol no, stop being creepy and don't fucking tell Alison we ever hooked up. Holly get all crazy and mad, saying she promises she'll make Tyler regret...idk, rejecting her or whatever. I have two things: 

1. When did Tyler get Holly's #? I don't remember him asking for it when he left her house? This is an important detail for me to know, like he clearly didn't care about ever really knowing her like that or talking to her ever again, but okay, movie.

2. Why does Holly...feel entitled to anything from Tyler? I get she's crazy, so it's dumb to be asking questions like that, but it's just weird she's all hella upset. Okay, he pumped and dumped. That is sort of rude. People treat sex way too casually, but I'm not going to get on my midget pony about it. He is saying No Thanks, so she should accept it and keep it moving. But if she did we wouldn't have this gloriously terrible movie, so maybe I should hush.

So whatever, Holly hanging with Ty and his crew and he looking like he wanna throw up every second. You know what was weird? When Holly was randomly, intensely making out with Sid from Toy Story. Alison was looking like Lol okay. Who wouldn't be mad disturbed by that? It was really weird. WAIT CAN WE TALK ABOUT HOW THEY NEVER HUNG OUT WITH THE ASIAN OUTSIDE OF SCHOOL?? Lol she was prob too busy doing, you know, her actual fucking homework and not hanging out on the beach with weird, druggie looking thots, but I digress!!!!

Fast-forward, though, to that Asian expressing suspicion concerning Holly. I should....really learn her name. Grace? I took one second to look it up, so maybe? Sure. Grace. Grace is having a private convo with Alison, saying she thinks something is weird about ol' girl. Holly overhears, so poisons Grace's smoothie. Literally, Holly gets smoothies for Grace and Alison (later Grace says how this was the first time she'd ever gotten it for them), and like right after her first sip she's hemorrhaging on the ground having an allergic reaction. Holly wasn't even subtle with it. 

Doesn't Tyler like right away suspect Holly of having done something? He doesn't get a real confirmation until later, so I'll give him the benefit of the doubt until he talks to Grace, but once he does, why doesn't he report Holly? She literally tried to kill Grace. Lol, uhhhhh. At the very least, why didn't he take this opportunity to open up to Alison about the truth (because it wasn't that serious), and let her know Holly was a danger? Tyler was being a simp ass loser this entire movie. Like are you seriously letting all this shit go down because you smashed and dashed on a chick? You're not about this life, and should've stayed in your lane, but I guess it's too late for all that now.

I just don't understand why you would continue to allow her to keep going around your girl when you know she's a danger and insane. What are you doing?? So of course Holly ends up kidnapping Alison (what is going on) and trying to kill her or some crazy mess. I forgot how...Tyler finds out Holly is tryna harm Alison. Maybe she calls him? Sure. But once Tyler gets the call, what does he do?? He calls...Nash Grier. He..................................

He calls Nash...Gr...i..e    r...

?????

WHY?! CALL THE COPS!!!!! HOLLY IS TRYING TO KILL SOMEONE!!!,! HIS DUMB ASS CALLS NASH'S EYES TWO CLOSE TOGETHER LOOKING ASS AND IS LIKE GO TO THE HOUSE AND I'LL MEET YOU THERE OR WHATEVER!! LOL ARE YOU KIDDING? WHATCHALL FINNA DO?????????????? THEN TYLER GO THERE AND THIS CRAZY THOT KILLING HER STEPMOM AND SHIT AND HANGING BITCHES FROM THE CEILING. ALL THIS OVER SOME PAPER-WHITE PENIS???! BITCH, R U SRS?!?!?!?!,

AND TELL ME WHY NASH ASS AINT EVEN DO ANYTHING??! DIDN'T HE SHOW UP AND IMMEDIATELY GET SHOT? Lol. Maybe I'm remembering it wrong, but I'm pretty sure he was useless and the one who ultimately took down Holly was Alison. All of this was extremely CW. The movie was amusing, though, I'd def recommend it. Lifetime for Gen Z Teens or whatever. Wait, why did I watch this...?? .....

:/

   

Girlboss (2017)

I thought I was going to hate this. Which is why I watched it. I love watching shit...to hate it? It's fun. But this actually wasn't that bad. I don't really know that NastyGal broad too much. I never bought any of the clothes or read any of the write-ups on her, so I'm in the dark for the most part. I did...hear about the hernia, for some reason. And how she stole clothes or something lol to sell on ebay blah blah. So I was able to get a small kind of impression on her, and that impression was #trash. But like that new kind of #trash. That post-Bridesmaids, Amy Schumer kind where it's like This is revolutionary! This is feminism! So people celebrate it a bit and you're like OMG, please no? & stop. 

 

So that's why I was excited to watch, because I'm thinking I'm fin to settle in and be thoroughly disgusted, which is very entertaining for me :) And honestly, the Sophia "character" is mad...awful? Like a bad friend and in general human being? I did not care about her being like not a great girlfriend, but her bae kinda knew what he was getting into from jumpstreet I think? Also he ended up cheating. It wasn't possible for me to care less because I already didn't care at all, but if it were possible to care less when you initially start out having zero cares, I would have. Cared less.

She was def douchey to her friend, Annie. I kind of...It took me a while to get into Annie lol. I just kept staring at her hair like...why is it like that? And then it kept increasing in confusion-making for me. But she was also mad annoying. Like when she was mad at Sophia for not having her in her Top 8 (my god), I was like lol is this bitch serious. But then they did a backstory thing and I was like awwww. And over the course of the series I was coming around to her. But she was still annoying and why does her boyfriend LOOK LIKE THAT. 

 

I kind of loved all the like 2005-2007ish? references? I think the series left off at 2008? But I was dying at them watching Marissa die (I weirdly never saw this even tho I watched The OC? Meh I was more a One Tree Hill kind of broad. It was just...better. But dying at them shading Summer). Also them talking about Britney's breakdown which pretty much spanned this timeframe, I think? And then like Myspace? And then like someone being able to create some massive business off Ebay? Lol, throwback.

 

My fave character was def Gail played by my bae Melanie Lynskey, so imma need more of her next season. But maybe that won't be feasible, since if the show is following close to real-life, NastyGal gets super big off of ebay, and that's where Gail came from. First of all can we talk about how I loved how they did them chatting in ebay forums? It was so fucking funny to me, especially the one talking in ALL CAPS. But wait can we discuss Sophia being kind of gross and ruining vintage clothes? Or I guess ~making them cooler~??? She was just snipping away I was like...omgggg lol. Like the edits she made to clothes in the show.........none of it was cute lol. They didn't show her doing that too much (good idea), but when they did I was unimpressed, at best. It was awkward. Like when she cut up that dress that was actually cute and made some...idk cover-up type of vest thing for her friend and belted it? Vomitrotious. And that vintage dress Gail really loved was mad ugly to start with, but Sophia just made it uglier? Idk girl, I'm not sure what's going on. But maybe the NastyGal aesthetic is just not for me. I mean, it's called NastyGal. Y'all being too white for me. 

So my #whitebae Hank from Breaking Bad, Dean Norris, plays Sophia's dad and they have an awkward, like non-connected sort of relationship, but it's kind of sweet? Or slowburn sweet, maybe? Idk, we'll see. But meeting Sophia's mom and seeing how fucking tragic she is, it shines the dad in this...like way better light lol. It shows he's her foundation etc. Like her visiting her mom for Christmas and it being a mess and then she ends up having dinner with her dad I was like awww. But if Sophia is anything like her mother (seems a lot like? tragic), she may eventually completely separate from her dad, like her mom, and I am absolutely not here for that storyline. Wait - is this show getting a second season? Um, it better? Sophia will only get worse the more successful she becomes and I need all of that, thanks! 

No, because I really like the series and think it's good. Well-written, maybe? And probably good acting? Can't tell, but if Britt Robertson is nothing like Sophia, then yeah good acting. And this shit is just intriguing and I want more. I hope they keep the gay dude and his mom; make up some contrived reasons for them to be around like they did with them at the end of the season lol. Um...that scary robot model chick they work with. Bettina. Need more of that. More of my #baldbae Dean. More RuPaul because it's RuPaul. And hopefully none of Shane who was sketch from day one when he was talking about how crazy his ex was and Sophia was like was she crazy or were u just a cheater and it was like boom, roasted, but broad you went on to date the dude (and for two years??!), so let's not. 

Anyway is it weird to see your horrible self a bit in Sophia and feel uncomfortable about yourself and think hmm maybe I should be in therapy but then you think how if you go to therapy you'll just be cracking jokes or tryna Elliot Anderson your therapist so it's just a complete fucking waste of time, as well as life? This blog deserves a nobel peace prize, honestly.

Wait, smh, I just saw Netflix cancelled this shit. OKAY. 

He handed him her vagina?!?!

So what the fuck was Koob talking about? He was like wildly lying, right? Lol what the fuck. What was he talking about when he said the cops handed him Cathy's vagina wrapped up in newspaper or whatever? Was that a metaphor? Does he expect me to believe they cut out her whole vagina to shove in his face and intimidate him with? Whyyyyyyyyyyyy wasn't his weird ass looked into more? And then that weird letter they said Cathy wrote. She wants him inside her?? A part of me thinks, if she wrote it, she was writing it in a Sufjan Stevensy sort of way. Like how she wants God ~inside her~, but also in a sexual way, so still bad. And sus. What if Koob really did ask Cathy to marry him and she was like lol nahhhhhh...so he murked her? But I get gay teas from him, so even more motive! Like if he was tryna get a beard. But...why would a priest need a beard? If maybe he was doing gay shit and wanted to like ~make up for it~ by getting a wife? Also I kinda feel like everyone at the school knew what that man was doing. And I am completely forgetting his name. That fat Irish dude the whole doc was about. You know who I'm talking about! What if Koob was involved? But wouldn't the kids have said something? It's annoying to me that a lot of significant people involved are dead and can't say shit, and also that Jean ~couldn't remember~ that Bob dude.

Okay but before we get into Jane Doe, like KOOB LIED ABOUT WHERE HE WAS THAT NIGHT, NO? Also, a priest going to see Easy Rider??? And didn't anyone think it was weird how when he first was talking about the night he made sure to say what they had gone to see? Something about it seemed very over-rehearsed alibi. But that's just me. 

This shit was wild from start to finish. So things started to get extra fucking real immediately in the second episode when we meet Jean aka Jane Doe. She telling all these horrific, sordid details of what that man was doing to her and I'm like................................ Okay, and like. I don't know. But a lot of times, I felt...Jean was...mmmmmmmmmmm not necessarily lying, but like...I was getting vibes she was like really into talking about this? A lot of times watching I would get the feeling she was pretending to be more...what can I say? Upset...by the events than she actually was. Like how one girl said they saw the Father as kind of their boyfriend and it was this more grey thing than them just outright recognizing it as abuse, or "bad"? I got the feeling she felt some allegiance to him, and also was playing more disgusted than she completely really felt. BUT THEN I FELT BAD like...thinking this, and over-analyzing her. But lowkey if I was her therapist I would think she were putting on a show. Like remember that one time she ~burst into tears~? That looked fake as fuck. Like she thought at that moment she was expected to break down, but wasn't really feeling it. But at the same time I acknowledge she's been horrifically abused, and all that was happening during her developing years, so she turned out a certain kind of way because of that, and that's probably what I am picking up on the most. BUT! I feel like the two main women (forget their names smh) researching this, kind of felt...maybe hesitant about Jean as well, but I remember the more introverted one saying how she couldn't see any reason why Jean would be putting herself through all this and I ultimately agreed. 

 

And like Jean's words, mixed with that like one foto they kept showing of Father Ohoolihan or whatever's face, really drove home the point. You can just look in his face and see he was insane and like super awful. But it's wild how he was just going the fuck in on like, whoever. Like he diddled the school boys, and the teen broads. This nigga was just fucking people's lives up just to be doing it.  

Okay, but who killed Sister Cathy? Prob those two dolts, right? Billy and his friend/lover? I forgot the names. But it was that gay dude who killed himself and he had that creepy nun's habit in his attic, and then that old drunk dude they were talking to. The necklace turned out having significance to Cathy's sister, so I def think it belonged to her, and he got it from when he fucking killed her and dumped her body. It makes the most sense that Father Molester or whatever would hand off a job like that to underlings. Though you wonder how Billy, etc got mixed up with that. Were they some of the people the Father would let in to do stuff with the girls? Did they know the Father from other dealings? Maybe he had blackmail on them, for gay shit, etc. There's so much more that needs to be known and like so much information is "lost", or people won't say.

WHAT WAS IN THAT LETTER??? And why...I don't mean to be rude, but why would Cathy's sister just hand it off to some person not even in a police uniform? I'm also side-eyeing the dad, lowkey. And it just got "lost". That's annoying and everything is so incredibly suspicious and I'm lowkey side-eyeing just about everyone who participated in this doc. Also what was up with that one black woman literally I forgot everyone's name, but she was in charge of investigations maybe? Def the person who could say let's investigate this crazy dude for raping all these kids and doing a sex trafficking ring and killing this nun and prob that other chick. When she talked about her red convertible. Like, how she rolled up to look at those files he was trying to bury, I was shocked. Like, you can't be this horrible. No one cares about your ghetto ass material acquirings, ho, WAS THERE ENOUGH EVIDENCE IN THOSE FILES TO CHARGE THIS DUDE? This bitch talmbout no. Even if there were no photos, WHICH I HIGHLY DOUBT!!, weren't those files of all the recordings the dude had on his victims? Like the shit typed up during the "sessions", etc? How is that not enough evidence. All that shit creepy and inappropriate as fuck. I'm truly stunned, but not really.  

Do you think Jean actually saw Cathy's body? I think? But I'm bugging that she would go with Father Whatever to see her body. Did she not realize that he was taking her to see a body? Maybe not, but why would she even go with him? I'd be scared as fuck wtf. Like she knew Cathy was missing and here he turns up like ~want to see her??~~. Jean kept saying she was super-naive, and like, yeah! Or maybe it was diff back then? But I always side-eye people who say that, because kidnapping and murder and rape and etc etc have been alive since the dawn of time, so it's weird when it's like ~we never locked our doors~, never mind the fact that most of these crimes are committed by people you know who already have a key, but that's neither here nor there!! 

BUT THE MAGGOTS!! They were all, it was winter. But then the researchers found out it was like in the sixties during that time, so maggots being on the face would be a thing. BUT I'M STILL DYING AT HOW JEAN JUST FOLLOWED THIS CRAZY DUDE INTO THE FUCKING WOODS LIKE NO BIGGIE!! This is one of the things that made me think she wasn't all the way right in her thinking concerning him, but blah blah of course of course. Anyway I feel bad her husband is dead that's fucked up, and I'm also annoyed she stopped him from killing that priest cuz it def seemed like he for sure woulda done it. 

So so many things bothered me here, but one thing that really got to me was that one dude at the end, Wilson I think his name was? Who was trying to get a bill voted for. Something about extending the statute of limitations on sex crimes. I don't understand why it was voted against, but no, I do. The church was sending their people out against it, because they know they have these freaks all up in their system just tearing through these kids and it takes them til their forties or so to get it to fucking gether and come for their abusers, and the church knows this and is betting on this, to save their asses, instead of making change within their organization to fix this problem. And then the church is all mixed up in the state, so they get in the way of the bill even getting to be seen or whatever and this is all wildly disturbing. And miss me with the opposers of this bill trying to couch their stance in like ~the sooner they come out the faster the abuser can be caught and taken off the streets~ or whatever. Or it would just be cool for them to not get raped and abused at all, and for systems to be in place to prevent it from happening in the future? :') But I want to know why this statute of limitations thing even exists in the first place? What purpose does this serve? Probably something horrible, I don't want to know! 

I don't know why I watch these things, they disturb the spirit, but at the same time I feel it's good to know where you stand, and the best way to know that is to know where everyone else stands. So this ultimately was a pretty good sort of docuseries, but like all docuseries, it left me unsatisfied. Like the two murders weren't solved and nobody had to pay for their crimes? What is the justice system even for?? I be watching all these true crime shits snd it's just incompetency after incompetency. But then again, no one makes docs about when the justice system works. But maybe it never works and that's why :') You know what I'm mad about? How lit Serial season 1 was and then it randomly moved to Pandora and no one too much watched that shit and it's like, what a way to blow a property. But I've been finding some replacements. But also I just saw someone in a magazine recommend some podcast about Richard Simmons' disappearance as a Serial equivalent with a completely straight face type-tone. Let's be real, shit is bleak. Also, leave that man and his stretch capris alone. Just rude.
