The Lolita/Coqeutte Zodiac Sign🎀=Virgo♍️🩷
Sydney Sweeney, Virgo Sun
Zendaya, Virgo Sun
Elle Fanning, Virgo Moon
As you may know Virgo is the “Virgin” of the zodiac. And this virginal theme in virgo is often shown in films thru young woman having relationships with older men.
Vladimir Nabokov, Virgo Moon
The novel Lolita was even written by a Virgo Moon.
Dominique Swain, Virgo Moon as Lolita in Lolita(1997)
Note: Humbert Humbert was played by Virgo Sun Jeremy Irons. It’s interesting that Virgo/earth sign woman are like Lolita while Virgo/earth sign men crave someone like Lolita.
Meena Suvari, Virgo Moon as Angela Hayes in American Beauty(1999)
Side Note: Lester was played by Kevin Spacey, Taurus Moon
Aaliyah, Virgo Moon
Her life can somewhat be described as a Lolita-like story because of her relationship with R Kelly when she was underage. And she has a infamous song called Age Ain’t Nothing But A Number produced by R Kelly
Side Note: R Kelly has Capricorn Sun
Jiah Khan, Virgo ASC as Jia in Nishabd
This is pretty self explanatory by the poster and Vijay was played by Amitabh Bachchan who has Virgo ASC*. Btw Amitabh Bachchan was born around 3-4 pm which is most likely Virgo imo than Leo.
Sue Lyon, possibly Taurus ASC* due to her rodden c birth time as Lolita in Lolita(1962)
Humbert Humbert of course was played by a Taurus Sun James Mason
Liv Tyler, Capricorn Moon as Lucy in Stealing Beauty(1996)
Timothee Chalamet, Virgo ASC as Elio in Call Me By Your Name(2017)
Oliver was played by Armie Hammer, Virgo Sun
I have 1 more example i want to write
1.Priscilla Presley, Capricorn ASC
2.Priscilla(2023) a movie about Priscilla Presley, directed by Taurus Sun, Capricorn Moon Sofia Coppola
3.Kristen Dunst(Taurus Sun) as Marie Antoinette in Marie Antoinette(2006) directed by Sofia Coppola
Earth signs dominate the coquette aesthetic which i didn’t get to show examples(and more film exmples) of since 10 is the limits. Btw think of My Melody(Capricorn) when you think coquette or Wonyoung(Virgo) even Jennie(Capricorn). Earths signs will come to mind. Anyways thanks for reading 🩷🎀, stay healthy, stay pretty, stay confident and stay happy .
P.s coquette is a traditional based aesthetic which could be connected to the earth element as earth signs are known to be traditional

Scattered thoughts on The Wicker Man 2006:
This felt in some respects like a bad production of a good play- it hits so many of the same beats as the original film, but it hits them wrong!
The original Summerisle was creepy intermixed with seeming like a really nice, friendly, cheery place to live. The tension builds with each scene of the village doing something weird, but not necessarily wrong. In this film, Summerisle (excuse me, Summersile) is filled with sinister old women chanting “Yes, the wicker man!” and all but outright telling the cop what they want him to hear. Howie had to work to find out what they wanted him to know- that was part of his tragedy, that his own efforts doomed him. This film feels like the cult doesn’t trust their victim’s intelligence or skill as a detective so they have to spoon feed him every clue.
“This is like if the girl in Get Out said “I want to take you to my family’s experimental brain surgery party!” - my husband
Nic Cage is famously as good or bad as any given movie calls for, but when the whole cast is bad, it’s probably the director’s fault.
Yes, it’s misogynistic. Extremely so. A class full of girls and a line of pregnant women are both treated as scary sights in and of themselves. In many ways it’s reminiscent of Harvest Home, but the decent quality of that book overall made the misogyny offend me far more. Here it’s just goofy.
On that note, I wouldn’t normally think anything of a man punching an evil woman in a horror movie, but it feels like the movie wants me to feel a certain way about a manly man drop-kicking a teenage girl into a wall. But how does it want me to feel?
Sister Summersile isn’t given anywhere near Lord Summerisle’s charm or seduction; she’s just straightforwardly creepy. The whole point of the leader should be their charm!
There is a note or two of folk music during the procession, drowned out by the suspenseful soundtrack. COWARDS.
If our lead isn’t religious, let alone virginal, the line about “You have the opportunity to be a martyr” means nothing.
“Not the bees!” Yes, yes, it’s very funny, and the bees themselves are Birdemic-level bad CGI. But if they revive him with an epipen and then burn him anyway, what was the point?
“Our ancestors fled persecution in Salem!” Fuck you, movie.
This leads into one of my biggest criticisms of the film’s internal logic- the history of the cult. In the original film, Lord Summerisle’s grandfather created a Golden Bough-inspired “recreation” of ancient pagan traditions on the island; you can raise questions about how well that would work, but I bought it. But American white people don’t have ancient pagan customs. We all came over here long after Europe was Christianized. I would believe a New Age pseudo-Wiccan cult started a generation or so ago, or I would believe a Plain Folk pseudo-Shaker insular Christianity, but I can’t believe both at the same time. (I guess I should just thank god that it wasn’t portrayed as an evil Native American island...)
After all that, the end credit line “Dedicated to Johnny Ramone” was the last thing I expected.

A Film A Year
Going through an old hard drive today I found this almost-completed list from 2015 in which I'd set myself the task of choosing a single film for each year of the preceding hundred. It was interesting to see in what ways my tastes had changed and just how many more films I'd discovered and fallen in love with in the meantime.
Anyways, I thought I'd finish it off and update it to the present: I very much tried to keep it to just one film per year, but the competition some years was just too high so they've had to share joint first places:
1915 A Night In The Show 1916 The Vagabond 1917 Easy Street 1918 A Dog's Life 1919 Sunnyside 1920 One Week 1921 The Kid 1922 Dr Mabuse, The Gambler 1923 Safety Last / Why Worry? 1924 Sherlock Jr / The Last Laugh 1925 The Gold Rush 1926 The General 1927 Sunrise / Seventh Heaven 1928 The Last Command / Steamboat Jr. / The Man Who Laughs / The Passion of Joan of Arc 1929 The Love Parade / Un Chien Andalou / Lucky Star 1930 All Quiet On The Western Front 1931 City Lights/ The Smiling Lieutenant 1932 Horse Feathers / Love Me Tonight 1933 Duck Soup / The Invisible Man 1934 It Happened One Night 1935 The 39 Steps 1936 My Man Godfrey 1937 Nothing Sacred 1938 Adventures Of Robin Hood / Pygmalion 1939 The Cat And The Canary / The Wizard of Oz / The Hunchback of Notre Dame 1940 His Girl Friday / Pinocchio 1941 Citizen Kane / The Maltese Falcon / Dumbo / Sullivan's Travels 1942 Casablanca 1943 Le Corbeau 1944 Arsenic & Old Lace 1945 Les Enfants du Paradis / And Then There Were None 1946 A Matter of Life and Death 1947 Black Narcissus 1948 The Treasure of the Sierra Madre 1949 The Third Man / Kind Hearts & Coronets 1950 Sunset Blvd. / La Ronde 1951 A Streetcar Named Desire 1952 Singin' In The Rain / Le Plaisir 1953 Calamity Jane 1954 Hobson's Choice 1955 The Night Of The Hunter /The Ladykillers 1956 The Searchers 1957 The Seventh Seal 1958 Vertigo 1959 North By Northwest / Ballad of A Soldier 1960 Psycho / The Virgin Spring / Two Women 1961 Breakfast At Tiffanys 1962 Le Doulos 1963 The Great Escape / The Birds 1964 Onibaba 1965 For A Few Dollars More 1966 Blow Up 1967 Le Samourai / Cool Hand Luke 1968 2001: A Space Odyssey 1969 Butch Cassidy & The Sundance Kid 1970 Le Cercle Rouge 1971 Get Carter / Harold & Maude 1972 The Godfather 1973 Don't Look Now 1974 The Godfather Part II / Chinatown 1975 Jaws / The Rocky Horror Picture Show 1976 Network 1977 Star Wars / Annie Hall 1978 Halloween / Superman 1979 Apocalypse Now / Alien / Life Of Brian / Manhattan 1980 Stardust Memories / Raging Bull 1981 Raiders Of The Lost Ark 1982 Blade Runner / The Thing 1983 The Dead Zone / Zelig 1984 Ghostbusters / The Terminator / Blood Simple 1985 Back To The Future 1986 Hannah & Her Sisters / The Fly 1987 Withnail & I / Wings of Desire 1988 Dangerous Liaisons 1989 Crimes & Misdemeanors / Dead Poets Society 1990 Goodfellas 1991 The Silence of The Lambs / Terminator 2 1992 Reservoir Dogs / The Player 1993 Schindler's List / Groundhog Day 1994 Pulp Fiction 1995 Se7en / Casino / The Usual Suspects 1996 Fargo 1997 LA Confidential / Grosse Point Blank / Boogie Nights 1998 The Truman Show / Happiness / Buffalo '66 1999 American Beauty / Magnolia / Being John Malkovich / Fight Club 2000 Memento 2001 Mulholland Drive / The Royal Tennenbaums / The Piano Teacher 2002 Adaptation / The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers 2003 Lost In Translation 2004 Eternal Sunshine Of The Spotless Mind / The Life Aquatic 2005 Me & You & Everyone We Know 2006 The Prestige / Perfume 2007 No Country For Old Men / There Will Be Blood 2008 The Dark Knight / Let The Right One In / Tropic Thunder 2009 Cold Souls / Up / Zombieland 2010 I Saw The Devil / The Ghost Writer 2011 The Hidden Face 2012 The Avengers 2013 Her 2014 The Grand Budapest Hotel / The Winter Soldier 2015 The Survivalist / The Lobster 2016 Like Crazy 2017 Coco 2018 Deadpool 2 2019 The Irishman 2020 Kajillionaire 2021 The French Dispatch 2022 The Banshees of Inisherin

Happy Birthday 🎂 🥳 🎉 🎈 🎁 🎊 To You

Born On February 10th, 1974
Banks was born and raised in Pittsfield, Massachusetts, the eldest of four children of Ann (née Wallace) and Mark P. Mitchell. Her father, a Vietnam War veteran, was a factory worker for General Electric, and her mother worked in a bank. She described her family as "very meat-and-potatoes, old-school Irish Catholic." Growing up, she played baseball and rode horses. She was in Little League when she broke her leg sliding into third base. She then tried out for the school play, which was her start in acting.
She is an American actress and filmmaker. She is known for playing chaperone Effie Trinket in The Hunger Games film series (2012–2015) and an ICCA commentator in the Pitch Perfect film series (2012–2017). She made her directorial film debut with Pitch Perfect 2 (2015), whose $69 million opening-weekend gross set a record for a first-time director. She has since directed the action comedy Charlie's Angels (2019) and the horror comedy film Cocaine Bear (2023). Banks founded the film and television production company Brownstone Productions in 2002 with her husband, Max Handelman.
Banks made her film debut in the low-budget independent film Surrender Dorothy (1998). She has appeared in the films Wet Hot American Summer (2001), Sam Raimi's Spider-Man trilogy (2002–2007), Seabiscuit (2003), The 40-Year-Old Virgin (2005), Slither (2006), Invincible (2006), Zack and Miri Make a Porno (2008), Role Models (2008), The Next Three Days (2010), Man on a Ledge (2012), What to Expect When You're Expecting (2012), Movie 43 (2013), The Lego Movie (2014) and The Lego Movie 2 (2019), Love & Mercy (2014), Walk of Shame (2014), Magic Mike XXL (2015), Power Rangers (2017), Brightburn (2019), and Call Jane (2022).On television, Banks had a recurring role as Avery Jessup on the NBC sitcom 30 Rock (2010–2012), which earned her two Primetime Emmy Award nominations. She also had recurring roles on the comedy series Scrubs (2006–2009) and Modern Family (2009–2020), the latter of which earned her a third Primetime Emmy Award nomination. She starred in the Netflix miniseries Wet Hot American Summer: First Day of Camp (2015) and Wet Hot American Summer: Ten Years Later (2017).
