#Sydney's review

EXTRA PROUD DAD-IO

Ebra was so proud of Sydney and she was watching him so adoringly.

I bet he'll come through for her in season 3.

Pick up some pieces, if you will

I loved Madame Web I don't care what bullshit reviews say plus it's been my experience most movies I do like the critics tend to be off the mark. I don't judge my interest to see a movie on reviews

I love Sydney so much because, once upon a time, I was a sous and walked out during a lunch rush, so we are connected.

It's - not my proudest moment - I felt bad for my co-workers more than anything. But as employees in Illinois, we are at will here - the same way they can fire you well, you can quit without notice. It's the one weapon we have as employees anytime we have a shitty work environment.

But do you know the amount of burnout and bullshit you have to experience to get to that point?

Let me explain:

Sydney worked there from July-December, and she made so many changes and changed The Beef for Carmy. He wanted it fixed, and she fixed it. She gave him a blueprint of effective changes.

The 1x07 episode hints that Sydney has reached a breaking point with Carmy insulting her indirectly by calling the reviewer a hack, Richie asking her if she blew someone at the telegraph All these months, she spent showcasing her talent, making effective changes, and inspiring everyone else, and they insulted her when a reviewer compliments her dish.

Oh and when Carmy gave her the assignment to train Louie and handle the to go orders? And train richie on the new system? I'm getting overworked flashbacks. How many months did Carmy just assign things to Sydney because he was so used to her handling everything?

Then the one mistake - the pre-order option - and Carmy shouts and curses at her? In front of the staff, she helped manage? She had every right to quit.

Love Carmy- feel for him, and I love the gesture of starting this restaurant with Sydney the second season and giving her confidence, BUT he better pull his weight soon.

'Cause you're hot then you're cold

- Hot N Cold, Katy Perry

Carmy’s actions in s2 are very Hot N Cold. He asks Syd out but he doesn’t show up. He invites Syd to his apartment to work on the menu but he changes his mind on the menu. He avoids Syd most of the time but he doesn’t want Marcus or Connor having Syd’s attention. He has no time to call the fridge guy but he finds time for Syd under the table. He clearly wants her but he pushes her away so I am wondering, why does Carmy act like this? Is it because he doesn’t want Syd to get too close to end up leaving again?

After Syd resigns, Carmy is devastated and his whole body really can’t believe that she just left him the restaurant. In the next episode, Tina asks when Syd is coming in but Carmy is in denial. For most of the episode, Carmy is sad and not himself. Although Syd comes back, I really don’t think Carmy got over Syd leaving him. I think Carmy’s actions in s2 was an outcome of Carmy believing that Syd could leave him at any time.

#I need them to have a conversation about what happened in the review episode because clearly Carmy is not over Syd leaving #and Syd is not over Carmy not being on board with the risotto she made #Communication needs to be a theme in s3 #After the conversation they should fuck nasty #sydcarmy #the bear #sydney adamu #carmen berzatto #chef's kiss

carmy keeps on fucking up the budget numbers for repairs of the restaurant, sydney is right there correcting him every time

carmy enters the office, forgetting completely about his “good idea” that he didn’t write down

sydney enters the office, in the middle of a reassuring sentiment for morale, falls through drywall, carmy is right there when she forgets what she was saying, remembers for her, even finishes her sentence for her

just like that carmy remembers what the good idea was

it’s giving v much you’re the only one who keeps my head on straight, v much I’m not me without you, v much classic married couple, v much I know you I know you I know you I see you I’m here with you

#she forgets he remembers #he forgets she already knew #am I being dramatic? maybe #do I care no #also review stresses me out but when carmy yells about someone finding a sharpie that works? #I’m p sure at the beginning of the episode syd has in her apron what now? a sharpie #I’m just saying he’s yelling about something he needs and of course syd has that exact thing #anyone willing to watch that episode if you do just tell me if I’m right I don’t wanna know if I’m not #sydney x carmy #carmy x sydney #sydcarmy #the bear

[i-didnt-hate-it]

I didn't hate Immaculate.

Actually, it was amazing.

The camera work, lighting, and music all set the tension beautifully.

The effects were bloody and bone-snapping yet still gave a sense of grace.

And the performances were superb. Each nun and priest played their part very well. And of course, Sydney Sweeney was *Immaculate*

I haven't seen any of Michael Mohan's other work, but I know about The Voyeurs, and I was honestly expecting a Michael Mohan movie starring Sydney Sweeney to be... sexier?

While it isn't without nudity, the nudity generally feels appropriate for the setting and subject matter, and isn't sexual for the most part. Which was refreshing.

I have seen a few reviews saying that Immaculate only relies on jump scares for the horror, but I wouldn't quite agree with that. There is a feeling of dread that builds from the outset, and there are frightening and gory images that don't leap out at you. The portrayal of pregnancy alone is hard and dirty, not glamorous and soft like Hollywood so often portrays.

The men may have gaslit and gatekept, but Sydney Sweeney sure as hell girlbossed in this one. The ending is brutal and jarring, making me want to cheer and cry and vomit all at the same time.

Just remember the true message of Immaculate: don't f*ck with a pregnant woman, because she will literally kill you.

Madame Web was good.

Like, I actually really liked it.

Sure, some of the dialogue was stunted, but I guess they have to overexplain concepts in superhero movies if it involves anything beyond skybeams and blowing stuff up. Gotta make the MCU bros understand, I guess.

I'm still confused about why Sims' dialogue wasn't synced up right most of the time, but his voice was just weird already so it didn't make much of a difference.

Dakota Johnson was fine, but Sydney Sweeney was the real standout among the main four for me. Aside from being one of my celebrity crushes, I thought her performance was very subtle, and a change from much of the more sexualized roles she is known for.

Adam Scott as Ben Parker was really cool. The line about "all the fun and none of the responsibility" followed up by Cassie's "that's what he thinks" was very clever. While obviously hinting at Peter Parker's responsibility as Spider-Man and Ben's famous words to him, it also references the responsibility that Ben has to protect Peter, which gives greater weight to why Ben understands responsibility so well.

I won't say Ben stole the show, because he wasn't in it enough to do that and it would take away from the leading ladies. It took a little bit to warm up to them, but it also took them a bit to warm up to each other, so that's kinda the point. These are four strangers who were just forced into a crazy situation, and they don't really know who to trust or who to like. But they actually have some character growth and learn to open up to each other.

I kinda wish there was more of the actual Spider-Women, but this movie isn't about that, it's about Cassie becoming Madame Web. It's not a Spider-Women movie, it's a movie about the women who become Spiders.

The marketing for this movie was weird. Like the trailer was intriguing (at least to me) but everything else seemed off. "Made by AI" maybe, but the movie itself is unique in its concept to be a human original. I think we need to stop blaming ChatGPT and start blaming studio interference.

Anyway, don't listen to me or anyone else about this movie, or any movie. If it looks interesting to you, go see it. If you have an open mind about movies, chances are you'll find something you like.

Wow, this post is way longer than I thought it'd be. Thanks for reading this far, if you did 😊

THE BEEF ACTUAL REVIEW.

Finally I found the actual review so I can read it

Not that I didn't believe EBRA but it's good to have it

Then I saw it was on the wall next to Nat as they were renovating

Although it was somewhere in the kitchen where I think Carmy put it up, BEFORE renovation

“FX has asked critics not to discuss anything that happens after the fourth episode, which may perhaps give some of you the impression that the fifth episode involves Carmy and Sydney being zapped back to prehistoric times with only their kitchen knives to fend off dinosaurs. I can neither confirm nor deny this, but what I can say is that the later part of the season features moments that made me laugh, ones that made me want to turn off the TV and never call anyone “Chef” ever again, ones that thrilled me, and even a few that just plain made me weep.”

Rolling Stone - The Bear Season 2 Review

#the bear fx #reviews #sydney adamu #carmen berzatto

[loveabledirtbag]

2.01 - beef

HERE WE GO SEASON TWO WOW OKAY!

right off the bat: that opening. such a tonal shift from season one. it’s dark, shadowy, calm, quiet. it’s the exact opposite of the opening of season one. truly telling us, the audience, that this is a different show now. PLUS it starts with marcus, not carmy. or even syd. it’s perfect. we’re being told “this is an ensemble and you’re gonna learn a lot about all the characters this season”.

plus the fact that marcus is so sweet to his mom. ugh, it breaks my heart. i just want all good things for marcus.

scraping the ice on his windshield physically hurts me to watch. i’m parking in the first garage of my adult life, and don’t have to deal with street parking and frost scraping anymore and it’s WILD.

the quiet intro of the bruce hornsby is so beautifully done. “the show must go on”. but it’s also the kind of dad rock that dominates so much of this season.

watching the beef sign get taken down is wild. truly wild. like, you kinda knew it was gonna happen, but then YOU SEE IT happen. you can see it on carmy’s face: the trauma, the guilt, the weight, the significance. and it’s being taken down so he can have a chance to make something new.

and there’s just something about the first lines in the beef/bear as everyone talks budget. carmy is different. the crew is different. there’s a familiarity that seems more mature and authentic than in the last season.

plus seeing that carmy is a chef and only a chef for a reason is really fun. because i get it. math is hard. fuck math. watching him struggle with math is very affirming.

i love that in the basement we see a canning machine, with a label on it that says KBL, showing us the audience how mikey put the money in the tomato cans last season. BUT it also leaves me to question….carmy spent almost every waking moment at the beef last season, obsessively cleaning and trying to keep it afloat. he also wondered about why mikey was making payments to KBL electric and what it all meant…he didn’t go down to the basement at all? not once? see a canner that said KBL on it? think to himself “hmmm, that’s odd. maybe i should check these cans of tomato’s we have?” idk. i get that we have to tie up the relative plot hole of “how did mikey stick money in cans of tomato’s”. but it opens another can (haha 🙄) of worms of how didn’t carmy see this. i find it hard to believe he didn’t spend any time in the basement, since he was obsessed with the restaurant. and not noticing a giant machine that puts lids on cans would be hard.

i love that season one truly broke down richie, and right away into season two we get a richie who clearly wants more out of life. he realizes he’s been wrong and hurting and he’s trying to get back on track. plus, more characterization of the fact that richie reads a lot and reads good books, as he brings up the story. but right away you see richie’s arch this season: purpose, growth.

not to mention, i love the emotional intimacy between the two. that richie sort of bears his soul to carmy about his fears of being left behind, and of not finding his purpose. carmy saying he loves richie, and then when he realizes that richie is hurting telling him that he has time for richie. something fundamental happened last season and these two really found a level i don’t think they ever had before. richie is older than carmy, he’s mikey’s friend. he might have been invited to family gatherings and events, but most likely acted towards carmy like an older “cousin” would to a younger one. just kinda talking down and ignoring and not respecting them fully as they grow up. we saw this with the fact that multiple times throughout season one richie calls carmy a “baby”. and not because carmy was whining or crying, but because carmy was just so young. but after everything from last season, the toxic masculinity that surrounded these two (especially richie) is giving way to an emotional connection that is really sweet.

i love the admittance of richie’s age. there’s an unspoken rule in tv that you don’t give peoples ages too willingly, because if a character “ages out” of the marketable bracket the “audience will lose interest”. which is bullshit, but execs will always push to keep a characters age in a liminal paradoxical sub space somewhere between 25-35. so they’re not too young that they can’t be respected as adults, but not too old that you don’t care about them because they’re “boring and not cool”. it’s why on the show friends monica and rachel start in season one as 25/26 years old, and then turn 30 in season seven. they fucked with the timeline just to make sure that the friends remained young and cool enough to watch. so for richie to be 45, is both intentionally pushing him out of the “cool” age bracket to execs behind the scenes, which is what richie is worried about in the scene. he’s old and worried he can’t find his purpose.

but how richie’s problem and his season long arch perfectly sets up carmy’s problem and his season long arch is amazing: fun. enjoyment. you have your job and then you have what you do for yourself that isn’t monetized, isn’t going back to being “work stuff” but is just for you. and richie assuming carmy has fun with cooking and restaurant stuff because it’s ALL he does, and carmy admitting it’s not “fun” for him. ugh. it’s beautiful.

also, in the old photos that richie is looking at. i never noticed until this watch through that there’s one of gillian jacob’s as tiff, richie’s wife. i just assumed she was introduced in the flashback episode. but they had a little tease right at the beginning of the season. which is more than they needed to do. which is why i love this show.

also, THE ORIGINAL BERF shirt! i love it. didn’t want that to go without saying anything. “printing mistake. collectors item.”

the admittance that chester is gonna watch marcus’s mom while he’s at work….THATS A GOOD ROOMMATE. like….romantic partner level good. again, i’m starting this season off by coming back on my bullshit that marcus has a romantic energy with just about everyone, and that includes chester. i am a marcus x chester fan.

that we saw fak talking to ballbreaker in the last episode of season one (and ballbreaker talking back…) and now he’s bringing it home. it’s concerning…

the quick scenes of ebra looking unsure of everything…

“i thought i wanted some and then i wanted throw up.” oh. so nat’s pregnant. like. the moment she said that i was like “ah. nat’s pregnant.” i love that abby elliot was actually pregnant while filming season two. i’m sure that they wrote her pregnancy into the show. which i love instead of trying to hide it.

the long talk of how absolutely stupidly annoyingly COMPLICATED AND TIME CONSUMING AND CONVOLUTED it is to get a restaurant started is so on point. it hits hard. just reps after reps after reps.

and the fact that that conversation is capped by syd saying “we just gotta stay calm” and then falling right through a wall….art. artistry. poetry. amazing.

i love richie doing a breathing exercise so that he can properly explain his anger without it just being a meaningless explosion of anger. he’s angry because syd fell through a wall and ripped the fenway poster. and the red sox were mikey’s favorite baseball team. this is about mikey, and honoring his memory, not just a random outburst. and he can explain that because he took the time to breathe, and to properly communicate that, which made everyone understand and empathize for him. instead of react to his anger. emotional and mental maturity, folks! it’s great.

also richie’s explanation that the wall is plaster because mikey wanted to burn the place down for insurance money…..uffda. again, it’s hard to marry everything we know of mikey together: he was so charming, personable, charismatic in the scene we saw of him in season one. but he was selling and using coke, he wanted to burn down the restaurant…and we see so much darker stuff from him later this season. it’s just a little hard to believe that the happy mikey is the same as the dark and depressed mikey. but obvious addiction can have a major influence on people’s attitudes.

the fact that the alarm goes off and carmy’s first thought is “….is that in my head?” really tells you a lot about carmy’s head.

the fact that when carmy tells cicero that mikey was telling the truth about franchising the restaurant, but cicero’s first thought was “the petting zoo? mini golf?” really paints a grim picture of mikey’s brain and relationship with cicero.

“how does that [alarm] not drive you nuts?” “i don’t mind it”. once again showing that carmy has this thing in him that kind of enjoys pain. he “dug throwing up before shift everyday”, and other stuff in season one.

the hinting of getting a star, which crops up a few times this season, tells me that season three is almost undoubtedly going to be about getting a star. even though i’m with carmy; fuck stars. you have to pay to get them, and the first one is the only one about food.

“can i tell you a story about complete and utter failure…?” - cicero trying to tell this story for the first time this season, which is interrupted by carmy saying that if they don’t pay back the loan cicero gives them in 18 months the building and lot and business is completely cicero’s

carmy giving that proposition is an interesting plot point. because it could be a major thing in season three, or they could blow past it and not even mention it. BUT even if they don’t make the loan payment and ownership goes to cicero, he could choose to keep the restaurant going and have everyone keep working for him (which would make more sense to keep his character in the show, in a behind the scenes kind of way). so, we’ll see what happens.

i think almost every single scene with tina this whole season makes me wanna cry. syd asking tina to be her sous, and tina thinking that syd is asking tina to ask around for a sous is just so good. and then her big hug as tina realizing syd wants her to be the sous. UGH. tina is just so good!

OK. SO. the scene where everyone’s going home, and it’s just syd and carm and they’re talking about how weird it feels to go home so early, but there’s only so much you can do without permits. 1) it’s SO relatable. anytime you’re expecting to be in the weeds and have that sweaty, fast paced, rush feeling and instead you get nothing it just feels….wrong. like empty. even though it means you’re not stressed for a night. 2) there’s just a vibe of carmy and syd being a little romantical. there’s a little second beat as they look at each other where i was like “ohhhhh!” and then nothing happens. but it’s there, right? just a bit?

the unsettling quiet as carmy sits at his apartment just at a loss for what to do and how to be still. and then staring at his chef jacket and the song. the CLASSIC song from season one. that new noise. it plays and you just go “yeah….we’re back.”

i love the camaraderie as carmy comes back to the bear and syd and nat are already there. and then the montage as they set up a schedule and print inspo and we see the hours tick by. it scratched an itch that i miss. i miss the feeling of starting a place and just the overwhelming amount of work involved in it. how the hours tick by.

and that’s the episode. ugh. it’s so good! the vibe, the pacing. everything it sets up. so so so good. i love it.

SEASON ONE: one | two | three | four | five | six | seven | eight

SEASON TWO: one | two | three | four | five | six | seven | eight | nine | ten

Syd/Carmy- Angry Desire for Perfection

Ebrahaim: "... Can the windy city evolve without losing its true essence? We wonder at times if nostalgia clouds our judgment and creates an angry desire for perfection with every turned-over spot..."

-1x07 Review

Do you think this quote rings true for Carmy? We see Carmy have some form of nostalgia and an angry desire to fix the past season 1 and season 2. Each time Carmy in is too deep, too stuck in time, it creates perfectionism and affects his relationship with Sydney.

For Season 1, this Nostalgic figure is Mikey. Carmy wants to run things differently with Sydney but delays moving forward; he tells her the dish is tremendous but not perfect enough to change anything. This is Carmy still holding on to his brother and hoping to fix what happened in the past.

The moments where Carmy's perfectionism shows and he's angry at Syd- the to-go order mishap. That angry desire drives Sydney away until Carmy has closure with Mikey. He lets go of waiting for perfection and moves forward with opening The Bear.

But he's not out of the woods. Season 2, the beginning, is Carmy moving forward with Sydney; instead of striving for perfection, he focuses on getting to know Sydney and creating together. This turns out well at first, that is until Claire comes back. His desire to fix the past plays out by getting the seven fishes and cannolis on the menu.

This fixation on tradition- reaches a boiling point when he sees Claire and thinks he sees his EMP boss- that nostalgia creates that angry desire for perfection, and he takes it out on Sydney.

At the end of Season 2- instead of having having closure, Carmy can't make peace with anything that's happened before he met Sydney - instead, he settles for misery and is plagued by memories.

There's a pattern of characters that represents Carmy making peace with what was before. Who will be the nostalgic figure for season 3? Donna? Or the EMP boss? Will Carmy finally learn to be present with Sydney instead of striving for perfection?

#Sidebar: this could be the meaning of the repeating clocks- specifically for Carmy- he's stuck in the past #sydcarmy #as he mentions in 2x03 #he has to remind himself to be present. #the bear season 3 talk #carmy x sydney #the bear review 1x07

being anti sydcarmy is one thing but saying THE sydney adamu can’t cook. . now you blocked 🙁 and full out saying that she fucking stalked carmen. . is crazy?? attributing all of the bear’s success to carmen when that man is holding on by the grace of 5 cigarettes and a bottle of pepto bismol is also crazy. he can’t even do math! complaining about syd bringing richie’s daughter into things when the man literally said she sucked dick to get a good review is even crazier like!!! that person a fucking loser i cannot.

#searched sydcarmy on their account and was met with a barage of anti sydcarmy posts #that were more like anti sydney posts and i will not stand for my princess being talked about in that manner #cw discourse #like syd’s the bad guy but richie said she sucked dick for a review….? please
