12 of 12 · most liked firstSharing something that I’m wholly proud of. A year ago I directed (+ co-wrote) ‘The Assignment’ a short film celebrating ASU’s Climate Action Almanac - a global #climate anthology written by an incredible group of women.

positive · AI labelView post →Unrelated to anything I've posted about today: I watched the movie The Assignment the other day, a movie where Michelle Rodriguez plays a hired killer man who gets surgically transed against his will and then tries to get revenge on the people that did it. And let me tell you that movie is BAD

neutral · AI labelView post →#RecentListening in #podcasts Hats off to @cnn for giving @AudieCornish a platform for her new show, #TheAssignment. In last week’s episode “Life After the Traffic Stop,” Cornish probes the rarely heard experiences of Black men who’ve survived deadly force by #police. And maybe most remarkably she opens up a conversation between the two survivor guests—neither of whom had ever spoken with another person who has lived through such #PoliceBrutality.…

neutral · AI labelView post →(Forgive me Tobe) The 2004 TV movie is, I think, the truest and best adaptation of the source material. This despite the decision to cast Hollywood's Mr. Handsome as the Stephen King author insert, which is a truly epic case of Not Understanding The Assignment.
neutral · AI labelView post →Big thumbs down. I truly wanted to enjoy 'The Assignment' due to Michelle Rodriguez's involvement, but man it is unfortunately a pretty cruddy flick. Rodriguez herself is the film's only noteworthy positive, but only just to be honest - she isn't given much to work with. The premise has potential, though its execution here leaves a lot to be desired. Everything onscreen involving the characters of Sigourney Weaver and Tony Shalhoub bored me tremendously, every time it's just the filmmakers…

neutral · AI labelView post →Boring--which is the worst thing that a B-movie can be. Points only for Michelle Rodriguez's prosthetic penis, her natural titties, and Sigourney Weaver's cinematic debasement via thriller cliches. This fauxploitation film doesn't even have the guts to do exploitation right.
negative · AI labelView post →A risky movie to make, people on both ends of the political spectrum are going to have things to say about The Assignment without ever having seen it, of that I have no doubt. But personally, and trying to put all that aside, The Assignment is actually halfway decent. It uses a couple of tropes I don't enjoy, for instance it has not one but two separate point of view framing devices, and I got the distinct impression that Sigourney Weaver was only there for maybe one full day of shooting, but I…
neutral · AI labelView post →The story of how a hitman became hitgirl! Actually, it was a much better film than what I've heard of it. What could you expect from a B movie? This was a much better film for its small budget with a decent cast. The storyline seems okay, but Michelle Rodriguez is the one who made it possible. Yeah, it was like created for her to play the main role and she excelled. The filmmaking was quite compromised when the initial part of her character was played by herself. Because of particularly her…
