#-Weird Movie. but it's literally not even that weird or goth or campy

[spushii]

people hype up Repo! as a weird movie way too much its literally not that fun or interesting. its like if a 2007 goth music video was 20x as long, half as good, and the music was fucking terrible.

[nopointic]

when lisa said how everyone always says "time heals all wounds" when you lose a loved one or are hurt so badly you feel like nothing will ever be okay again, and she said that's a lie "time is the wound" i was like!!!!!!!

that's the fucking wound!!!!! that's why we feel distressed when we're looking back at memories and can't find that shirt we wore every other monday to a club meeting or that bracelet your grandma gave you. the smudged and faded writings in old books you've had on your shelf for ages. we memorialize EVERYTHING as humans. hell even animals do too!

we write letters and sing songs and we lay flowers and grin at laughs that sound familiar and get misty eyed at scents we catch walking through a crowded store. we cut hair and keep lockets of it and i've seen parents hold onto gowns they wore at the hospital while giving birth (my grandma still has the gown she gave birth to my mom in! she's 82 years old!!!!!!!!!! had my mom at 17!!!!!!) we are all made of memories and lisa is so right about how nobody should be forgotten.

the creature leaving flowers and writing beloved wife on her tomb! the gummy rings! the stitches she used to put him back together. the note folded like a football and she used her favorite pink gel pen! you KNOW she spritzed some perfume on that letter! you know lisa! we know her! cos weird shy quiet girls are her! (i am still selectively mute)

time is an open wound because we don't know how much we're gonna get. when he played the piano and lisa said you had a whole life. yes! people in the past had lives and fufilling ones! even if the final tombstone says something as fucked up unmarried or unknown, that use to be a vibrant soul! a person! like you and me.

lisa frankenstein may be corny or too campy to some, but it was everything my libra pink heart emoji with the yellow sparkles could ever want in a romcom.

someone literally ride or die for you, showing you their wounds, holding their wounds and saying i see and feel you and i'm gonna make this better, not perfect, but better, and i love you for loving and noticing me, and not throwing me away. for remembering me and picking me over and over even when i wasn't there. even when i didn't talk. when i couldn't talk. when i chose NOT to talk. you picked me? and loved me anyways? and got me?!

that is love.

and yes, lisa frankenstein is poetic cinema to me. sorry not sorry but it is. 5 stars. a million pink heart emojis.

a pair of gummy rings and tulle skirt in pastel goth colors with bold rainbow suspenders. this movie has my heart!

so i didn't watch Anything today but yesterday. maxxxine it. fucks so hard. pearl is still the superior movie of the series but i was lile secretly worried abt maxxxine blowing it and 20 mins in i was like HOW COULD I EVER DOUBT YOU MIA GOTH!!!! 20 MINUTES IN I GOT GENITAL MUTILATION SPECIFICALLY VERY LITERAL BALL BUSTING I GOT SO EXCITED ABOUT IT I JUMPED OUT OF MY CHAIR AND TOOK A WALK AROUND THE HOUSE TO CALM DOWN OR ELSE I WASN'T GONNA FOCUS. it was fun & exciting & visually stunning Obviously i wanna say the story and final reveal and all was. kinda mid. but it's fine like i didn't care for it but the Fun of everything else made up for it. it was weird. lots of characters who are barely relevant but feel like they wanna be so it just leaves you a taste of Unfinished ? i feel like it kinda Lost the slashery-esque vibes the first two had going it very barely feels like horror at this point but i think it ties the series together nicely like it's ok if it gets wordier they were Finishing A Story. and the sfx were slappin good so i don't care. girlbossing to success that's FINE with me!!!!! idc. it was fun i liked it :)

in a violent nature was. So So Weird. i was so excited to watch it bc i heard it was like A New Fresh Slasher Movie Icon Wow!!!!! so. i was so hyped. and i don't wanna say i was disappointed but it surely is not what you expect. it's insane. like every single storybeat is something you've already seen in a friday the 13th (which is not a critique i will never mind a slasher movie being formulaic like if you do something new that's cool but if you stick to the plan i will Never complain. that is what i'm here for.) BUT the way it's shot is like. argh. it feels like a natgeo documentary and i say this so politely. which goes w the Theme of the movie where they keep implying that the killer is like a mindless wild animal and that Nature itself is out to get you it really does work incredibly well but it's so strange. bc you expect slashers to be so silly and campy and over the top and this is so quiet? the camerawork is so weird the framing the movements are So Weird. it's not super cinematic i don't know how to explain ittttt but. yk. but then the kills. some of them were off screen which made me sad but the majority that were on screen HOLY SHIIIT MY DUDEEEEE GO OFFFF it was SO GOOD SO GOOD. THE ONE. IF YOU'VE SEEN THE MOVIE YOU KNOW THE ONE. W THE HOOK THROUGH THE STOMACH INTO HER HEAD AND THEN HER HEAD GOES THROUGH HER STOMACH AND HE KICKS HER OFF A CLIFF HOLY SHIIIIT SOOOOO FUN THE WAY I WAS CHEERING!!!! but it being Like This kind of. disrupts the idea that the killer is mindless like an animal???? like. a feeling i kept having was that it had some cool ideas but never committed 100% it always did something that Interrupted that concept and ruined it. yk? like the camerawork is always like distant and impersonal except for that one or two scenes were it's almost traditionally cinematographic. the killer is mindless except he gets a flashback w his Motivational Dead Mother so now it feels like he's on a mission. yk?? a bunch of stuff. idk. the ending segment w the final girl is so unbelievably stunning tho it's just good. it's so much of johnny the slasher walking thru the woods filmed from behind and the lighting changing from day to night but it's not boring. really weird watch to make opinions on

and then stopmotion i don't even know what to say about it. it's incredibly good and weird and it has a certain post 2000s pretentiousness about it but it backs it up by HAVING ACTUAL STOP MOTION SEQUENCES AND LITTLE CREECHERS THAT ARE SO TERRIFYING AND HORRID and it even made me FLINCH at least once maybe twice. just watch it i can't even talk abt it. mommy issues are briefly at play and being consumed by your art and work is the whole point and it's done so well and the gore oh god. god god i had to call my brother into the room at some point to look at the little puppets bc they look So upsetting. insane. makes me feel crazyyyy

hi i watched three movies yesterday

[kojoty]

I can't tell you how happy I was to see the Lost Boys content you reblogged pop up on my dash, it's nice to know that there are still other people out there who enjoy it! If you don't mind me asking, this is just out of pure curiosity, what do you like about the movie? Or don't like?

I just watched it last night and in a stream with friends, so I’d need to rewatch it to actually have a Critical Opinion of the film but... over all I just really enjoyed how campy and genuine it takes itself! It’s got fun aesthetics that it just RUNS with, interesting  mythology, and the twist near the end (or at least, the addition of the plot with the Vampire Daddy) is genuinely really interesting and adds some really compelling stuff to the movie... 

one weird but still interesting aspect was the constant references/set design that alludes to Jim Morrison? Even with Michael clearly being dressed and outfitted to look like Morrison. It’s just... Kind of weird and I’m curious to see if there’s a deeper meaning other than Schumacher just getting a kick out of the weirdly psychedelic goth persona of Morrison and wanting to add that very specific aesthetic to his vampire movie. (Which I guess Morrison DID once drink his girlfriend’s blood. IDK.)

It’s got a LOT of 80s tropes that.... If I had seen this movie as a kid/teen I would have hated, but because my friends have kind of forcefed me 80s and 90s movies for the past couple years, and because my adult aesthetics and understanding of historical context for the 80s and 90s have shifted, I can really dig them for their campiness, especially considering there’s LARGE swaths of this movie that Stranger Things just wholesale stole from (like literally entire scenes). 

IDK overall it’s just a very beautiful and interesting movie!

My screenplay project : “The Building Tales”

I’ve loved ''weird'' or surreal movies as long as i can remember.  So much so that I decided, on a cold december evening, to write my own screenplay. I love to write since I was a child, but this project is bare far my most ambitious one ! I wanted to combine my favorite "genres" together : French whimsy (Jeunet & Caro’s works, “The Science of Sleep”, “Celine & Julie go boating” and “Zazie dans le metro” (in case you’re wondering, yes i’m French! ), campy black comedies (“Beetlejuice” (and any early Tim Burton’s films, really!), “the Addams Family” and “Little Shop of Horror” (1986 musical version), but there are many more.) and my beloved childhood classics (mostly 1980’s wacky kids movies), with a touch of gothic fairytales, stopmotion madness (to express the characters’s inner worlds), and Czech new-wave (yeah, that’s a lot!). The story is set in a building in a big French city (maybe in the 1960/70’s, I am still not sure.). A young couple move into their new flat (she is a perky goth who collect freaky taxidermies , he is an embroidery aficionado.), but they began slowly to realize that the other tenants (respectively: a dentist who may or may not be an angel, a cannibal ingenue who literally craves love, a japanese boy whose father turned into a goldfish, a middle aged man with lobster pincers instead of hands and an old lady who calls herself the “Pigeon Queen”) are not what they seem… (I’m not the best to resume plots, especially in a second language.) The whole aesthetic is part kitsch/retro (Wes Anderson style), part "disturbilingly cute" : in this surreal town, you can grown carnivorous tulips on your balcony, and listen to the SuperGlues, the coolest girlband ever (Why "the SuperGlues" ? Well, they are conjoined triplets! ) ! Oh, and the stuffed animals talk like cutesy Disney characters! Beside the dark humor and poetic nonsense, there is also a far more political aspect. I am a autistic bisexual (<= still questioning) girl, someone you don't always see on screen, and when you do, it's mostly realistic dramas. I  craved to watch a queer equivalent of "Amélie", or "Edward Scissorhands", full of quirks and wonder.  The same goes for autistics characters. In this  ''project", the main couple is autistic and most of the protagonists are LGBT+ ( the japanese boy have a crush on the ''angel'' dentist, the cannibal ingenue is bisexual and the main character's best friend is a lesbian trans woman. The two lovers are also concerned (she is bi, he is asexual. ) . 

I will try to translate some exacts, but i can't help, but worry if  the metaphors and wordplays will loose their ''tastes''.

*   ☆  ◞  PARK CHAEYOUNG. DEMIGIRL. SHE/THEY.  ◟  wait, wasn’t that RYAN KIM? they’re a/n TWENTY TWO year old SOPHMORE, hailing from STATEN ISLAND, NEW YORK. i heard they’ve chosen to study MATHEMATICS AND STATS MAJOR while living at KAPPA THETA XI . word around campus is that they’re LOYAL & GOOFY but also quite OBLIVIOUS & LONGWINDED. if you happen to see them walking to class with their earbuds in, they’re probably listening to LOTTERY by KALI UCHIS. ( PINTEREST )

bio

gifted kids who kind of became fuck ups later in life make some noise!! yeah if you were a casual friend of ryan’s you probably wouldnt know it, that they are actually insanely smart. its only in books really, they’re super oblivious to anything in the real world yeah its definitely gotten them walked over in the passed. it wouldnt be hard to use them since they mean well and get attached to people a little bit too easy. stupid himbo

theyre part of the earth club even though they accidently killed their plants in the past from over watering them, its kind of sad honestly that they want to have a green thumb so badly but they literally wilt around them. yeah they definitely are a little bit of a vsco girl - hydroflask that they definitely stole and a metal straw that folds out of their hemp backpack.

theyre very honest about if they like you are not while theyre nice and friendly if they dont like you or theyre mad at you they will not hold their tongue and they do not care if you like them. honestly they do have a very couldn’t care less attitude towards a lot of things. theyre just not affraid to speak their mind no matter the situation.

yup stealing, ryan comes from a upperclass family so this probably started when they were younger and their parents would withold their allowance but it kind of turned into a really bad habit. theyve gotten into a lot of trouble for it like actual cops once but they batted their pretty eyes and got away with nothing but community service. they sneak into concerts, movies, dine and dash resturants constantly and no walmart or target or convenience store is safe from their sticky fingers. yes this includes test answers ;)

theyre a middle child and it defintiely shows, their dumbass chaotic nature was definitely born out of being neglected and forgotten about. living in a shadow wasnt the greatest for them and then not even getting the attention of being a baby for long by their mom and dad. they play it off as just being goofy and playful most of the time but they get up to some serious trouble all the time.

ryan is longwinded by far - they could talk forever it makes it easy for them to be an advocate for what they love which they do all the time. whether it be from the campy 80s horror movies that they love or art that they love to do. yes it can get annoying does this enby ever take a breath? it truly doesnt seem like they do. sometimes you may just want to ask them to stop talking just to get a bit of peace and quiet.

theyre president of kappa theta xi and they do take that a bit seriously they didnt think they would at first really they only joined it because their mother was an alumni to the house but all the way down to the 68% classiness they embody the house. yes their room is a wreck and on the weekends they’re known to get messy and maybe tping and graffiting one of the fraternities when theyre drunk but thats all part of the experience.

ryan is on a few sports teams as well, soccer and lacrosse they were never too much of a sports kid growing up but they used to go to soccer camp as a teen and honestly that was one of the first times their ass made out with a girl so it holds a special place in their gay sentimental heart and lacrosse was something that they picked up along the way from knowing some of those on the team.

theyre demi girl and and have no super preference between their pronouns as long as you are not refering to them as a woman or girl or feminizing them that is fine with them. they are very secure in their gender identity and while they definitely align with being femme sometimes they refuse to be seen as such. family doesnt know and they never have intention of telling them as they were raised in a very religious and catholic home but ryan is so friendly and open they are easy to share their story with and usually starts it off by saying gender is a myth created by the church to stop you from eating the communion wafers.

they pretty much drink only black coffee energy drinks and on mondays those are usually spiked in the morning yes that means theyre not paying attention in morning stat classes but is that really that big of a deal? to them no even though its made their grades slip in the past but so does them staying up all night trying to solve cold cases and listening to ghost story podcasts.

theyre entire wardrobe is only black jeans and platform boots and shirts with the ugliest prints on them. yes they are pretty much a gay goth dad on vacation that is their ideal aesthetic. during the colder months its worn denim jackets on top of that and call it a day.

terrible for speaking first and thinking later they joke constantly about things like eating dirt that their fish brain is pleased. theyre a bit strange but they try to make it come across as endearing as possible. the things they say arent always jokes some of it is very real. this also goes for impulsive decisions like doing someones stick and poke tattoo at a party or wanting to go bungee jumping.

they come across cocky and narcissistic at times, saying that they are a god and cant be killed theyve convinced themselves that theyre pretty much untouchable. sometimes being up your own ass is not always a good thing but truly who is going to clock them? some one might have too.

connections:

exes ( any gender ) though ryan is mostly into coochie they have and are not against dating c*ck owners. ryan is the type to be infatuated fast and then get bored and get over it just as quickly so i would say theyve been a serial dater in that respect. this probably doesnt always happen so we could definitely say your muse broke up with them.

childhood friends for the new york area theyve lived in multiple different boroughs of new yorks mostly manhattan and staten island from moving here and there. so definitely could have known them when they were younger.

camp friends. they went to soccer camp where they had their first kiss with a girl and math camp where they got lost in the woods and bible camp where they definitely ate a page of the bible LMDSLMSDLDSLM so that would be fun.

party friends they definitely party a lot ryan is known to get a little bit too wild and do stupid shit and really needs someone to make sure they dont hurt themselves. this also goes for not just party but they dont sleep a lot so this could go for someone who goes out to get food with them at like three am and hang out at a park eating it

siblings!! they have two siblings an older and a younger and i would suuuuuuuper love them please!

someone who they tutor and have just stolen answer to exams for them they dont always ask for payment but they do ask for ious.

snuck them into a concert with them and maybe they drank when they were too young and ended up almost in trouble with the cops because they got caught. or just generally they dine and dash together or movie hop or go and do dumb shit together.

crushes they can be mutual or one sided i really dont mind. like i said before ryan kind of gets crushes really easily so i super dont mind who is on either side of the crush.

they stole your muses bike and they caught them LSMDLSMDLMDSLM

they stayed up one night and tried to fully solve a cold case even went to the library so late that they got kicked out. it was a long night full of energy drinks and crazy theories. they still do this sometimes now.

pen pals theyve written letters to each other all the time and still do even now. sometimes ryan send them really weird things like paper dolls but theyre equations for them to hang up on their walls or just little letters that say sweet things in them.

honestly anything works your muse could even hate them because they think ryan is kind of annoying or fake because they have a tendency to be overly nice and friendly to everyone.

tinder date/ set ups that either led to something or didnt

good friend who hacked their instagram one night and started responding to dms just funny doesnt have to been anything crude. they do it to each other some nights like just hang out

hookups. good or bad. one night stand or on going.

or anything im down for brainstorming!! :D
