Jenna Ortega: what’s in the pipeline?

reshared this

While Jenna Ortega is making magic in Romania (filming Wednesday) I thought it a good moment to make a list from a fan's perspective of what is in the pipeline. Much to look forward to!

Just watched Teen Spirit, where #ElleFanning rather brilliantly sings the songs herself. It follows a girl from a humble background entering one of those televised singing competitions 'streaming to 10 million viewers', where she's clearly talented enough but can she handle the limelight?

Teen Spirit

A shy teenager living on the Isle of Wight dreams of pop stardom. With the help of an unlikely mentor, she enters a singing competition that will test her integrity, talent, and ambition.

Rewatching On the Basis of Sex with #FelicityJones.

It contains the great line (paraphrased): we already hired a woman last month, what would we do with another one?


On the Basis of Sex

Young lawyer Ruth Bader Ginsburg teams with her husband Marty to bring a groundbreaking case before the U.S. Court of Appeals and overturn a century of sex discrimination.

Is watching the 1984 Ghostbusters movie killing people?

Recent data show death rate of 10-59yr olds who have watched the 1984 Ghostbuster Movie is 2x higher than those who have watched the 2021 Ghostbuster movie

I don't know how to explain this other than movie-caused mortality

I quite dislike the anti-vaxx message in current Doctor Who (Flux), or at least that I read it that way.

I've got all three seasons of Mary Kills People on dvd now, so I'm (re-)watching it to get my Katie Douglas fix. Just started season three. So great to see her.

Season three is even better than the first two. Though Katie's role is still somewhat small, it's deeper and more heartfelt.

I dislike profile questions like "What is the current goal in your life?". The current goal in my life? Working towards making dinner. I'm posting this now here, so you can guess how well that's going.

It starts with awareness, so that's good. Also, I have already selected potatoes to peel, so first steps going well. They are the same as yesterday when I eventually put them back and boiled rice instead.

a popular myth is that people who are Very Computer have computers that work. nothing could be further from the truth. the Very Computer are capable of generating much more novel and fascinating ways to make computers not fucking work and exercise this capability wantonly

Staples to be reshaped as pyramids.

Thinking about how Jodie Foster in 1976(*), when she was 12/13yo, made four films. In one she played a prostitute (Taxi Driver), in another her character was all about seducing the male character (Bugsy Malone) and in a third her 13yo character has a sexual relationship with a 19yo boy (The Little Girl Who Lives Down The Lane). I haven't seen the fourth (Echoes of a Summer). What is a girl to make of that growing up? Luckily hyper smart Jodie seems to have been above all that.
#JodieFoster

(*) this is the release year. The films were made in 1975 and with Jodie's birthday in November 1962, that explains the age.

I feel a bit for Florrie Dugger (now Florence Garland) who as Blousey played a much bigger part than Jodie's Tallulah, but she's never shown anywhere on dvd covers and the like. I guess that's the difference between having only one acting credit in imdb vs a double academy winner. She plays Blousey really well though and I think Blousey makes the film.

Why do so many people on dating apps say they are awake and therefore not vaccinated? I think that when you are asleep it would be difficult to go to the vaccination centre and get the shot, but once you've woken up I don't see the problem.

I'll be watching Tom & Jerry: The Movie with Chloë Grace Moretz this evening. And I know she's actually in it this time, since she's the lead. Next to Tom and Jerry of course.

Tom & Jerry

Tom the cat and Jerry the mouse get kicked out of their home and relocate to a fancy New York hotel, where a scrappy employee named Kayla will lose her job if she can’t evict Jerry before a high-class wedding at the hotel.

These credits... 'Tom as himself' 😉

It's a fun film. I especially noticed how Chloë is so natural acting opposite these animated characters. I guess that's over a decade worth of film experience and growing up acting to a camera when the other character is not necessarily there.

Yeah, it is legal now... in 57 states.

I'm going to watch Songbird. There is a small role for Jenna Ortega in this film, which is the reason I got the blu-ray. Even so, I think anytime she isn't the lead in a film, there has been an error in casting. The film itself isn't that well received, but I'll make my own mind up.

Songbird

During a pandemic lockdown, Nico, a young man with rare immunity, must overcome martial law, murderous vigilantes and a powerful family to reunite with his love, Sara.

Seems to me there were some logic errors to the story, but if you look past that it is a quite nice romantic story. It's also not so much about a pandemic as it is about the loneliness of lockdown. Especially the substory with the wheelchair bound ex-military guy and the aspiring singer highlighted that sense of being disconnected from the rest of the world. Sofia Carson played a really nice Sara in the romance plot, more than a girl that needs saving. I know her from Descendants where she was good too of course.

Sadly Jenna's scene seems to be cut completely, she doesn't appear in the film at all, not even in the Deleted Scenes (of which there are many, almost more than a full film's worth). She did film a scene, there are behind the scenes photographs out there.

Only in the making-of I found out that they filmed it fully on mobile camera's, I didn't notice this at all while watching. These are some kind of purpose built boxes that stream to the cloud for the rest of the team. These may actually remain useful post-pandemic.

In favourite facts: birds are dinosaurs. And therefore dinosaurs are not extinct (though 'non-avian' dinosaurs are).

In weird facts: everybody 'starts' their journey on this planet inside their grandmother's body.

A woman has all the egg cells her ovaries will ever produce already present when she's born. So the egg cell that made you was already in your mother's ovaries when she was a baby in her mother's womb.

More nostalgic listening of music from my youth, now Mazzy Star with She Hangs Brightly. Hope Sandoval has such a gorgeous voice...

Weird how when I think of music being from my youth, it always ends up being from the 90s (my twenties) when I check, rather than my teens. I got into music quite late. Also MTV Europe's late night programme Post Modern with Pip Dan has been quite an influence during my university days.

Emilia of course great in a character yet again very different from what she's done before. And I finished it with 5 minutes to spare.

"..completion of a primary vaccine series, especially with mRNA vaccines, typically leads to a more consistent & higher-titer initial antibody response [than infection-acquired immunity].

(For those in back row, STOP saying that infection acquired immunity is better...)

Sunday is the start of the new series of Doctor Who, which as many people will know is the last for the current Doctor. But as I understand it will also be the last for Mandip Gill as Yaz, and that makes me sad.
