Half in the Bag: Derivative Holiday Horrors

The holiday season may be sort of over (except for News Years) but the derivative holiday-related shit films keep pooping out of our TVs. Hi, I'm Porky Fartbag and I'm here today to tell you about Mike and Jay (aka redlettermedia) they do a show called Half in the Bag where they talk about movies. On this episode they watched three recent holiday films: It's a Wonderful Knife, There's Something in the Barn, and Thanksgiving. It would have been more appropriate if there was a News Years Eves film in there too, but such as it goes. While a murderous Santa or horror Christmas film in the 1980's would have caused a stir, today it's par for the course. What, with all the filthy p*rn, shameful home renovation shows , trash music, angry political programing, and TLC fatso shows; a killer Santa Claus seems quaint. However, people keep making these movies hoping to shock or catch a view. They cost very little and can squeeze out a few bucks via the streaming services and their satanic algorithms. Lost is art. Art is no more. It's metrics. It's actuary tables. It's core demographics. It’s titles needed for the streaming service content related algorithm. In fact, we kind of suspect that a computer made these movies for us. Thankfully though, 2023 might be the last year of movies, as I predict sometime in 2024 someone, somewhere will launch or detonate a nuclear weapon. This incident will cause a domino effect on the planet earth. No, not an all-out global thermonuclear war, but certainly chaos. Rebellions, mass migration, power grid failures, supply chain collapse, violent protests, starvation, mass murder and so on. Cities will burn. The planet will go dark and we will all long for a simpler time when we could watch a killer Santa Claus movie and share a laugh around the fireplace.

To be fair, fixing issues someone else made is very different to making something yourself. It's why many software dev companies practice peer programming - you write something, then have someone else look at it to see if it makes sense. You're both equally good and are fixing large issues with each others' codes. When you work on something from start to finish it's easy to become over-focused on certain elements and overlook others, even though you're normally super aware of them when looking at other peoples' work.

Oh my god, you are so right. That would be genius. If you really wanted to go crazy, don't market the movie as a slasher. Market it as a "It's a Wonderful Life" parody, and then have a really horrifying slasher pop up, with no warning other than a PG-13 or R rating. (and of course you bury the lead with those by having people use the appropriate amount of swearing in the first 15 minutes).

In a KZfaq where nearly everyone just puts links and bios in their video descriptions with maybe a line about what the video actually is, if you're lucky, I truly appreciate RLM's video descriptions where it's just a giant block of text, most of the time becoming more and more unhinged because they know that no one is going to read it. That's where the true comedy lies. Thanks for having something entertaining even in the video description, it's the first thing I read.

I did background in Thanksgiving, was one of the blackfriday shoppers, and I can tell you Eli Roth was having way too much fun with this movie. He was just so down to earth, hilarious and the practical effects were so much fun. It was 4 long nights of shooting but it was the most fun I have ever had on a set. There is just something so surreal about watching a woman get scalped by a shopping cart in person. I would work on an Eli Roth set anyday.

@lrgogo1517 It was just a practical effect Eli used in the movie. They had makeup with a detachable prosthetic. There were 3 people killed in the black friday scene plus the one guy who gets stepped on and his arm broken, all were practical effects. The coolest being the candy glass door they rigged to come down and crush the security guard before we trampled him to death. I wish I had been available during the parade scene, I heard Eli was having so much fun spraying blood everywhere! It was definitely his over the top kills and use of the practical effects that made thanksgiving such an enjoyable film.

About the strange rating of There is something in the barn as a Norwegian I think I can explain. Its cultural basically, in Norway this rated 12+ "no kids under 12 without parents". We are usually just more lenient on ratings like that. Swearing is usually no big deal so its usually the amount of violence, gore and nudity along with tone. So this meant as a funny movie made for an mainly Norwegian audience hence the rating. Fun fact: Norwegian reviews found the here in Norway jokes grating and it is indeed meant to be a riff on Gremlins

Seeing "barn-elves" being portrayed as gremlins is just weird to me. A nisse/tomte is believed to be the spirit of the person who originally built a farm who simply cannot find rest in death and needs to see his farm is being maintained. They are basically rarely seen small grumpy old men that can help you out around your farm if you are taking good care of it and give them some food (usually porridge). They are grumpy and old, so they can be vengeful if you don't respect what they built, but they would never kill you, and they wouldn't get angered by light or noise. A tomte would do things like missplace tools, curse you with bad luck, or even kill your animals if you particularly angered him, but that's as severe as he'd get. I could see a tomte drink your booze and mess up your house with a party, but he wouldn't call in every other tomte to also trash your place. They are too busy with their own farms. Interesting fact, Santa Clause in Scandinavia is believed to be a tomte, and his elves too, which explains why that is a christmas movie, but it also makes the translation choice of "barn-elf" strange as tomtar and nissar by most people's reckoning are different to elves.

I know Mike was being funny but his point is good. I mean 'it's a wonderful knife' sounds terrible overall, but them not making a fuss about the main character being bi is actually really nice. I'm tired of the oversexual bi stereotype where you can tell the character is bi (sometimes before they even get to their name), because they're being overly h*rny often in public, it's often how they're introduced to the audience. It becomes their one character trait almost always. It's such a thing *especially* with bi people overall, we're so constantly assumed to be super sl*tty and confused -- but for a lot of us it's not that big of a deal. So yeah I prefer a character to just BE bi without it fussed over (especially when not integral to the plot, which seems to be the case here cuz there is no plot).

I'm fully aware of what he's saying, and my comment has everything to do with what Jay is saying, and I don't know why it's so hard for you to understand. I'm literally agreeing with Mike's counterpoint 'joke' to Jay, and elaborating on why we don't NEED what Jay is asking for. It's not that complicated or deep. But fine I'll break it down. Sure I have nothing better to do than to explain what exactly 'negative stereotypes' are and how the media perpetuates them. Why do we need a backstory of her being bi? Can we not tell in the story? He did. Was it a surprise? Sure (for him, I assume everyone's bi until told otherwise), but isn't that fine? Can't we fill in the blanks? He said, "oh I guess she's gay" boom, he figured it out. Why does her s*xuality matter to the plot? How would seeing a flashback of her being younger and also attracted to women help elaborate on that? We know she's bi by this point, it's just more of the same. If it was another guy, we wouldn't need a backstory showing she's, in fact, straight. If she had a random scar on her leg that didn't do anything to the plot, would we need a backstory for that as well? Even tho we can see it sometimes? No she can just exist with the scar can't she? What more would her s*xuality backstory add to the plot of the movie? Nothing. Going further, using that specifically AS a plot device when you have no plot is just pandering and also bad. Especially when you add in the fact the representation is almost always negative. In fact, everything Jay was asking for is exactly the crap I'm tired of. "it came out of nowhere" "it should be her whole thing" "did she know this" (love that) "it just happens" (phrased as a critique) Yes bi people just exist. It's really not a big deal. Needing a backstory MAKES it a deal. I don't need a straight person's flashbacks showing them that they had a gay confused moment but got over it, so I definitely don't need it for the bi/gay people. Because when they DO all those things that Jay is asking for - it's all the things I listed above that you're glossing over. Do you get the connection now? My complaint is media "solves" jay's problems with ONLY the things I listed above. "What makes a person bi? Well they're just h*rny and confused". Nearly. Every. Damn. Time. These depictions that I'm complaining about are the DEFAULT in all media. Heavily. We don't get "regular" bi people, we have to have some weird backstory that focuses on our "sl*ttiness" to excuse it (what Jay was basically asking for) -- tropes associated with bi people IRL that are extremely harmful. You very likely do not know this, but even the gay community, there's a lot who won't even date bi people because of these preconceived notions. "Bi people cheat" (because we're h*rny and confused) is a discussion I still hear all the damn time. Media has never done us any favors before and I have no faith in them to get it right. So, yeah having a woman just be bi without any fanfaire, is actually doing us a huge service. No montage of her hooking up with people left and right, her looking at women going "who am i?". Dude some of us were into women before men. I mean, wouldn't it be crazy if they actually showed a flashback with her happily gay and then having a straight confusion moment and then realizing she's bi? I bet some people would still have a problem and need more explanation... for some reason.... hah. Honestly the "explain why she's bi" and calling it "character growth" just has this straight justification (also: straight is "normal") energy to it. Like there has to be an excuse or reason, and it does not sit right with me. Uh I wasted like 10 minutes on this how lame. especially with likely getting a "too long" response back. I tried to keep it short before but here we are... If you don't get it at this point that's your problem man. Your attitude sucks anyway and it's wild you're ignoring how many likes my random ass comment (that even I expected to get zero traction on) got, and instead you're boldly stating "I don't think you know" to the situation I'm fully aware of already of, and many other people understood my points fine. So clearly *you* are the one who needs to do some learning here, ok? rewatch the video and re-read these comments and take a walk. I'm going to go do literally anything else because even staring at a blank wall is more productive than continuing this further.

On the topic of the relationship of It's A Wonderful Knife, to me, it's not the sexuality revelation that's the problem, it's the idea that she's suddenly in another relationship after a couple hours. It'd be the same problem if she'd met another guy and suddenly fell in love with him. It's always a sign of bad screenwriting. I think that's what Mike and Jay were trying to get at, but kind of got hung up on the sexuality reveal. I can easily accept her being bi without the movie flat out saying it, but if you take the build up of her falling in love with any character out, why should we as the audience care?

Lack of drama and conflict is a possible problem that can occur from the choice to show that a character is gay or bisexual in a "matter of fact" but irrelevant (to the story) sense, but that can be supplemented for and worked around when a writer wants to be inclusive without the story being ABOUT the characteristic being represented. A more difficult issue when trying to include a gay or gender non-conforming character in a story that's not about sex or gender is good ol' "Chekhov's gun". Because if the character's sexuality or gender is not relevant to the story, then bringing it up adds extraneous detail, which risks watering down the impact of things that do contribute to the story. Obviously, like with Chekhov's gun you can break that rule, and show an unrelated factor as misdirection, non-sequitur, etc, but that only works when it is the rare exception to the rule, so most of the time it should be avoided. This Chekhov dilemma mostly concerns more thrilling genres like horror, fantasy, sci-fi, and action, where rising tension, and its eventual relief are the entire point. Effectively conveying tension is all about playing with the audience's expectations, which by necessity means predicting how your audience will interpret a story event, and what they expect to happen next. Any extra details a writer adds increases the number of ways an audience can interpret and predict events, reducing their own ability create tension and a satisfying payoff. When it comes to character driven genres like drama and slice of life this dilemma shouldn't really be an issue though, since those stories are more about painting as complete a picture as possible of a character or their life so the audience can relate or empathize. I understand the desire, and I am also in favor of lgbtq representation, especially in stories that are not actually about sexuality or gender. But since gender and sexuality are not solely visual characteristics, there needs to be an effort to tie them into the story or a character's development, otherwise you're muddying up your story, and risk having your genuine efforts to make people feel included appear as a cheap cynical trick to try to appeal to more demographics without actually relating to them.

I imagine it's just that it's not a very good movie but I would like to imagine that the movie is made for younger audiences who have realized the whole putting people (or yourself) in categories and pretending like it's some big deal to stray outside those boxes was never a useful idea to begin with, so just follow your attractions if you're unattached and stop worrying so much. If the youth are finally moving beyond the antiquated idea of concrete 'orientations', maybe we'll even get back platonic romance - a whole category of human relationship which was universal prior to the mid-20th century pathologizing orientations.

Same thought. Getting harder and harder for them to tap dance around the omnipresent homogeneity of corporate filmmaking. They’ve become very toothless in terms of criticism. Obviously out of self preservation but at a certain point…if you can’t call out what’s right in front of you then what’s the point of you as a reviewer?

13:04 I really appreciate Mike trying to understand other people's perspectives. As someone who is bi/pan, seeing a character who just happens to be bi in a movie without a big deal being made of it feels really nice. People can be gay or bi and not have it be their whole personality. I think this discussion points to the common misconception that a lot of people have that people are either gay or straight. I was a bit worried at first, but this was a very good conversation. Thanks

Look at Talk to Me for example. It was completely incidental that a character was trans and it was refreshing to see. Like, big deal who cares? What is their character about? Now look at It’s A Wonderful Knife and they’re literally yelling weirdo to their face. This character was a vehicle for the writers to pat themselves on the back for being so inclusive and accepting. That “you matter” line wasn’t deserved at all. Bunch of hacks.

To be fair to the Norwegians, American accents tend to be pretty vague and confusing in my experience. There’s discernible accents in different regions of the south, east, and Midwest, but most people tend to speak with some sort of weird blend of the accents. And that’s not even getting in to the many and extremely widespread non-English accents.

Eli Roth plays much better outside the US as he is acutely aware of the way in which many US tourists behave and what kind of attitude they bring when abroad, and lampoons them mercilessly. The Hostel films, Green Inferno, Aftershock etc, all have thoroughly obnoxious tourist characters and if you've ever been on the receiving end of one in your own country, Eli Roth is a welcome laugh.

‘Christmas with the campbell’s’, also starring Jason Long, has dialogue that was absolutely written by AI.
