imagine being the record exec who heard Pink Pony Club five years ago & not only told Chappell Roan “I don’t think this can be a hit” but also dropped her from your label over it. imagine fumbling that badly.

think the 2nd half of THE BRUTALIST is v. messy but this idea that there is so much love inside that marriage but it is no formidable opponent against everything else going on really worked for me. never giving up, and then in the epilogue, it didn't work. repurposed for someone else's ends.

love movies! sometimes i think it's more instructive to discuss what i liked about something rather than interrogating its faults. genuine, good faith criticism, positive or negative is important, but sometimes i find it easier to nitpick what didn't land for me rather than celebrating what did

You remember that one ad campaign for the Kate Winslet/Idris Elba mountain movie where it just said, "THE DOG LIVES"? They need to do that for The Brutalist where it just says, "THERE'S AN INTERMISSION."

trying to write more letterboxd reviews but in a way i think it's having the opposite effect than the one i want, i.e. i don't have time to write them all so then there are half-baked thoughts rather than anything really thoughtful or intellectually/emotionally satisfying for me

it's no fun to not really love movies other people do (ANORA; NOSFERATU), but it's soooo fun to be totally moved by and love movies many people are mixed or down on (BABYGIRL; QUEER)

so many films to watch but kind of want to see BABYGIRL one more time before it leaves theaters

thinking about writing ANORA fic again

Those last two sentences make a good ass point I think about a lot — for all media. There is no “correct” reading of a work. Also, just vibe and ride the wave. Open your heart to art, don’t try to “solve” it. An impossibility anyway.

Non-consenual BDSM isn't a thing! That's just rape and assault! A core part of BDSM is consent!
