It's a paranoid disco-punk epic with shades of ELO, David Bowie, Late of the Pier, of Montreal, and Siouxsie and the Banshees (?)(not sure on that one). I hope you love it as much as I loved making this one 💖

Watching La La Land for my film class since I was sick for the in-class showing and I forgot how bored musicals make me. I mean, the lighting and use of color is beautiful, but the movie itself is just "eh". It doesn't do it for me. It combines one thing I'm disinterested in and very particular about (musicals) with something I hate (romance films). I'm trying so hard to keep an open mind, but good fuckin lord I'd rather watch something else.
