Recently, I read a comment that Flint “barely won” the fight with Singleton and . . . I’ve got some thoughts.

Previously, I talked about how we initially view Flint mainly through the eyes of the crew in season one and it’s absolutely most applicable in the series premiere. We don’t even get a glimpse of “James” until he collapses inside Miranda’s door at the end of the second episode. Up until then, we are deliberately fed not lies, exactly, but deliberate misdirection. Twice during the first season, we are tossed into the story through the eyes of a newcomer like a cat tossed into a bathtub.

First, we see the story from Silver’s perspective. Granted, we have NO idea what his history is, but as brand new baby viewers, ourselves, (on our first watch, that is, because who the hell stops at a single viewing?) Silver is the perfect cypher to dress up in our own naïveté. So that bathtub that our Silver kitten gets tossed into is INSTANT unrest and a failing captaincy with no real power left, grasping at control like sheafs of paper caught and scattered on the wind. The second time, we see it through Dufresne’s first boarding. Both times, we are wrong about the character of the cat in the tub.

In this first instance, we are meant to doubt Flint’s cunning and even more, we’re meant to doubt his strength. We’re all familiar with the Gregory MaGuire effect (even if you don’t think you are). MaGuire wrote Wicked, Confessions of an Ugly Stepsister, Son of a Witch and many more. Basically, he flips well known stories on their heads and repaints the protagonists in slightly less flattering lights, giving deeper, more human motivations to the stories antagonists.

We’re meant to expect that here. Jumping on the Oz example, we’re meant to find that the legendary Flint, casting such long shadows over the story of Treasure Island, is in essence, a little old snake oil salesman behind a curtain.

That’s our setup going into this duel. We’re supposed to think this elaborate facade of smoke and mirrors is finally going to collapse, revealing Flint to be incompetent.

So let’s take a look at the fight Flint “barely” won.

We see him flipping tables in his cabin just prior to the fight. He’s just learned he doesn’t have the votes, due to Vane’s murderous intervention. He’s frustrated because he doesn’t yet have a plan.

I’ve seen speculation about him finding the feather in the wreckage and this proves that he notices every little thing out of place. Sure, Flint is fastidious and detail oriented, but we also, if you recall, saw him carefully placing that feather with the log book in the drawer. It’s a security measure to know if someone comes snooping. So he finds the feather and knows that someone who was onboard the Walrus knows about the page, so he immediately formulates a plan. He’s gonna frame Singleton for the theft of the page. He decides right then.

*edited to add: I’m 100% sure he knows Singleton is NOT the one with the page. It’s likely Singleton can’t read, which Flint would be well aware of, perhaps not just as a member of his crew, but as someone who is challenging him for the captaincy. He knows whoever DID steal the page can read, because they came back to look at the log to read it for context clues. He gets all this from that feather. Flint is openly declaring Singleton to be a thief in front of the whole crew to force the hand of the real thief, hoping the fear of retaliation would press him to more quickly try to move on it or, as Silver does, attempt to get the hell outta Dodge.

So, stepping out on deck, he’s had zero contact with Singleton, which means the blank page is folded up somewhere on his person. At the end of the fight, we see him take the page out of Singleton’s pocket. He doesn’t search him, hoping to find something, he goes right for it.

He wasn’t “losing the fight”, he was allowing Singleton to get in close enough that he could plant the page in his coat pocket while still managing to not die, so stealthily, that the entire crew, watching the fight, wouldn’t see it happen.

Flint wasn’t a weaker fighter than Singleton. We see clearly his technique is far superior from the very first parry, he just needed time to plant the page. I’ve seen a lot of commentary on this fight and no one seems to really get this. It wasn’t just a fight, it was a deliberate misdirect, one choreographed to the audience in Flint’s interaction with Billy.

Flint: “The men think I’m . . .”

Billy: “Too weak?”

Flint: “I was gonna say unlucky.”

In conclusion, Flint could’ve taken Singleton out immediately, but chose not to.

Oh, ghosts? Who else have you met on your travels?

Well, recently we met this artist named Basil Hallward, who Dorian killed. He told me he was in love with Dorian too. Poor soul.

And recently there was a scientist and a drug addict! I think their names are Alan and Adrian.

Suicide and overdose. They're all so kind. They were all hurt by the same person...

[cantsayidont]

Haterating and hollerating through the '90s:

POSTCARDS FROM THE EDGE (1990): Carrie Fisher scripted this witty adaptation of her novel about coked-up, pill-popping actress Suzanne Yale (Meryl Streep), who overdoses in the bed of a strange man (Dennis Quaid), ends up in rehab, and learns that the only way the production insurance company will let her keep working is if she stays with her mother, an aging singer-actress-diva (Shirley MacLaine) whose love for her daughter is equaled only by her tireless determination to upstage her. (No, it's not autobiographical at all, why do you ask?) Fisher's deftly paced, funny script weaves in various serious mother-daughter moments without ever becoming mawkish, and offers a fabulous part for MacLaine, who has a ball poking fun at herself as well as Debbie Reynolds, Fisher's real-life mother and the obvious basis for the film's lightly fictionalized "Doris Mann." Curiously, the weakest link is Streep, who never quite sheds her customary air of prim affectation and always seems ill at ease with Fisher's layers of self-deprecating, sarcastic humor. CONTAINS LESBIANS? Apparently not, although I had questions about Suzanne's rehab friend Aretha (Robin Barlett). VERDICT: MacLaine's finest hour, but Streep's primness keeps it "good" rather than "great."

TERESA'S TATTOO (1993): Painfully unfunny crime comedy, directed by Melissa Etheridge's then-GF Julie Cypher and costarring Cypher's ex, Lou Diamond Phillips, along with an array of incongruously high-profile actors like Joe Pantoliano, Tippi Hedren, Mare Winningham, Diedrich Bader, k.d. lang (!), Sean Astin, Emilio Estevez, and Kiefer Sutherland, most in bit parts (some of them unbilled). The headache-inducing plot concerns a couple of brain-dead thugs whose elaborate hostage scheme hits a snag when their hostage (Adrienne Shelly) accidentally dies. Their solution is to kidnap lookalike Teresa (also Adrienne Shelly), a brainy Ph.D. candidate, and disguise her to look like the dead girl — including giving her a matching tattoo on her chest — in the hopes that the dead girl's idiot brother (C. Thomas Howell) won't notice the switch until it's too late. This truly bad grade-Z effort, barely released theatrically, feels like either a vanity project or a practical joke that got out of hand, and is interesting mostly as a curiosity for Melissa Etheridge fans: The soundtrack is M.E.-heavy, and Etheridge herself has a brief nonspeaking role. CONTAINS LESBIANS? Technically? (Etheridge has no lines and lang plays a Jesus freak.) VERDICT: May erode your affection for M.E.

BLUE JUICE (1995): Tiresome comedy-drama about an aging surfer (a terribly miscast, painfully uncomfortable-looking Sean Pertwee) who's still determined to continue living like a 20-year-old surf bum with his obnoxious mates, even though his back is giving out and he's perilously close to driving away his girlfriend (a disconcertingly hot 25-year-old Catherine Zeta Jones), who is keen for him to finally cut the shit. Meanwhile, the scummiest of his mates (Ewan McGregor) doses their pal Terry (Peter Gunn) and gets him to chase after an actress from his childhood favorite TV show (Jenny Agutter) in hopes of dissuading from marrying his actual girlfriend (Michelle Chadwick), and their mate Josh (Steven Mackintosh), a successful techno producer, flirts with an attractive DJ (Colette Brown) who's actually furious at him for building a vapid techno hit around a sample of her soul singer dad's biggest hit. The latter storyline probably had the most potential (although a weird scene where Josh is castigated by a group of outraged soul fans seems like a lesser TWILIGHT ZONE plot), but none of the script's various threads ever amounts to much. CONTAINS LESBIANS? It doesn't even pass the Bechdel test. VERDICT: If you happen upon it, you may be tempted just for Zeta Jones (and/or Brown), but the rest wears out its welcome with alacrity.

HIGHER LEARNING (1995): Potent story of simmering racial tensions on the campus of a university that definitely isn't USC (writer-director John Singleton's alma mater, and where most of the film was obviously shot), let down by incredibly heavy-handed execution. (The film's final shot is of the word "UNLEARN" superimposed over a giant American flag!) A capable cast (including Omar Epps, Kristy Swanson, Michael Rapaport, Jennifer Connelly, Ice Cube, Tyra Banks, Cole Hauser, Laurence Fishburne, and Regina King) tries to maintain a sense of emotional reality through Singleton's frequent excursions into overpowering melodrama, but there are so many competing plot threads that few characters have any depth; curiously, the script's most complex characterization is in the scenes between budding white supremacist Remy (Rapaport) and Aryan Brotherhood organizer Scott (Hauser). Singleton made this film when he was 25, and there's no shame in its sense of breathless ambition (even if it inevitably bites off more than it can chew), but the overwrought stridency undercuts its intended impact. For a more effective treatment of similar themes in roughly the same period, try Gilbert Hernandez's graphic novel X, originally serialized in LOVE & ROCKETS #31–39 and first collected in 1993. CONTAINS LESBIANS? Jennifer Connelly gives Kristy Swanson a bisexual awakening. VERDICT: The '90s through a bullhorn.

CRASH (1996): Divisive David Cronenberg adaptation of the J.G. Ballard novel, about a movie producer called James Ballard (James Spader) and his desperately horny wife (Deborah Kara Unger), drawn into a loose-knit group of car-crash fetishists organized around a man called Vaughan (Elias Koteas at his creepiest), who stages recreations of famous celebrity crashes like the 1955 accident that killed James Dean. Despite some pretentious dialogue about "the reshaping of the human body by modern technology," the controlling idea might be better summarized as "anything can be a paraphilia if you get weird enough about it." Part of what offends people about the film is that Cronenberg deliberately treats the entire story with the same frosty clinical detachment, rendering the "normal" sex scenes just as remote and perverse as the characters' fixation on the grisly aftermath of car wrecks; the point is that there is no line, just different facets of the same erotic longing, which each of the (admittedly unsympathetic) principal characters embodies in different ways. Spader, Kara Unger, and Koteas are very good, as is Holly Hunter, in perhaps the bravest role of her career, but Rosanna Arquette is underutilized. A worthwhile companion piece would be Steven Soderbergh's 1989 SEX, LIES, AND VIDEOTAPE, also with Spader, which is much more highly regarded (though almost as contrived and scarcely less perverse), perhaps because it seeks to titillate where Cronenberg does not. CONTAINS LESBIANS? Briefly. (See previous note in re: underutilization of Rosanna Arquette.) VERDICT: Icy but interesting.

Black Sails Season 1 Episode 1 but Flint kills Singleton with a single blow from a bucket 🪣 (the blank page is inside the bucket)

[image description: A colour illustrated page from National Geographic shows the deck of a ship. In the center a man is falling over backwards from a wooden bucket that's just hit his head. To the right an angry man in a bright red jacket has his arm outstretched, having thrown the bucket. A few other people watch, shocked. Below the illustration a caption reads, "In a rage, Captain William Kidd strikes and mortally wounds mutinous crewmember William Moore with a bucket." /end id]

I want to see Jordan Peele do a zombie movie, where the leading cast are the black actors (the more prominent ones) from The Walking Dead whose characters died on the show.

Chad Coleman (Tyrese)

Sonequa Martin-Green (Sasha)

Tyler James Williams (Noah)

IronE Singelton (T-Dog)

And they could do something that pays homage to Duane Jones, who starred in Night of the Living Dead.

2 Fast 2 Furious (2003)

Having seen the entire Fast Furious franchise (so far) has given me a new appreciation for 2 Fast 2 Furious. Not an intellectual film by any means, it looks at first like a drastic step in the wrong direction. Give it a chance and you’ll see; it’s got plenty of charm thanks to its likeable cast, characters and slick production.

Former LAPD officer Brian O’Conner (Paul Walker) now makes a living racing the streets of Miami. When the FBI approaches him to help take down drug lord Carter Verone (Cole Hauser), he has little choice. To get the job done, Brian needs more than the help of undercover agent Monica Fuentes (Eva Mendes). He needs his own team of experts: childhood friend Roman (Tyrese Gibson), mechanic and race organizer Tej (Ludacris) and speed demoness Suki (Devon Aoki).

This is the one film in the series that does not feature Vin Diesel (though his appearance in Tokyo Drift is simply a cameo, we’ll still count it). What were they thinking? Actually, it’s “What was Vin Diesel thinking?”. He backed out to work on xXx instead, a film whose brain cells are even sparser than this one’s. To be fair, this sequel to the surprise 2001 hit knows exactly what it wants to do. It’s got fast cars and beautiful ladies practically rubbing their bodies all over them. Director John Singleton shoots those cars with an adoration that becomes contagious even if you have no interest in street racing. The plot often feels like an excuse to get more burning rubber on-screen. At least it’s got the courtesy of giving us heroes to cheer for. Tyrese Gibson more than anyone else does a great job. He isn’t a rehash of Dom Toretto or anyone else we’ve seen before and his maneurisms and dialogue make him distinct. You nearly forget about all the likeable scoundrels we left behind with this change of setting. Perhaps not in the preposterous climax or the scenes featuring the one-dimensional bad guy, but overall, you’re enjoying yourself too much to worry about "little" details.

It sounds like I’m giving the picture a lot of back-handed compliments. Why am I recommending the picture as highly as I am again? Because of the way it makes you feel. When those cars are blazing down the pavement, you’re having a great time cheering for Brian. Those scenes are longer, more elaborate and the cinematography is better than they were in The Fast and the Furious. The strained friendship between Brian and Roman draws you in and every line of dialogue exchanged between them is a blast. Outlandish or not, you leave satisfied.

Looking back at the early instalments in the long-running Fast and Furious franchise gives you a new appreciation for its humble beginnings. The flaws you might’ve brought up before no longer apply because you know they’ll be rectified later. I know each film in this series should stand on its own, that I've got some major double-standards going on but I'm choosing to make an exception. If you find yourself doubting the value of 2 Fast 2 Furious, just give it time. (On Blu-ray, June 9, 2018)

can you guys come back to life again? what would be the first thing you do? Jim would probably have a drag, what about you, miss Vane?

Oh, Jim.. I honestly think I should ban all interactions between you and Jim. He should quit the smoking.

As for the question, I'd probably march down to Dorian's favorite opera house, find him there with Lord Henry Wonton, and strangle the very life out of him. I don't care if I got arrested. I just need him to realize his mistakes.
