WHOOOOOOO PUT MY CAPSTONE FILM ON LETTERBOXD SAY SIKE RN

[spouseoftherisingsun]

20 and 21 for the film ask! ✨

Hello 🫂 These two specifically were so hard, offering three picks for each: one Nostalgic, one Niche, one Obvious but Nonetheless True. This is actually me exhibiting so much restraint you have no idea

20. A film where the vibes are immaculate:

Krysar: La Joueur de Flúte d'Hamelin (1986) - The first weird film my best friend brought to me like, "I've never seen this but I read the description and saw some screencaps and this is a You film". It's a Czech stop motion feature adapting The Pied Piper of Hamelin, it really elevates the original folklore into something special imo

Blood Tea and Red String (2006) - Another film my best friend brought to me, essentially a poem as a film. Highly suggest going in blind, just know that there's no dialogue and it has slowburn pacing

The Fall (2006) - Obvious but very, very good pick. Can't recommend highly enough, can recommend to anyone

21. Films with a great needledrop/score/soundtrack:

Grosse Pointe Blank (1997) - Joe Strummer from the Clash is one of my favorite Guys of all time and he was the music guy for this and I love it, it's about a high school reunion and you can tell he had so much fun finding places to drop his favorite throwbacks

The Phantom of the Paradise (1976) - Yet another film my best friend and I found together, also very heavy influence over Guillermo del Toro in terms of style and subject matter, Paul Walker did the music and also cameos as a music producer who's done a deal with the devil, also Jessica Harper from Suspiria (1977) is in it, and um who knew she could sing? God, I love her

Moonlight (2016) - Gorgeous score by Nicholas Brittell, almost picked this for the previous number as well. Same as The Fall, can't recommend highly enough and will recommend to anyone

Also, I almost picked Troy (2004) for this one because it brought us together and also I included it among a bunch of movies the scores of which I studied for a science project in middle school <3 she's always been like this actually 🤔

[mythosphere]

Usually war films and miniseries pretend they're not homoerotic and it just Happens to be that way. SAS: Rogue Heroes does not do this. See Figure 1.

[againstdying]

finished dune 1984! would i have enjoyed it if it didn't star kyle maclachlan? it's hard to say. i love the terrible effects & the score goes hard (toto?!), plus there were some delightfully nasty moments which i always appreciate. and i could never overlook that little pug. also i'm not huge on scifi as a genre, so i tend to like bad scifi more than good scifi (for which reason among others i don't ever intend to watch villeneuve's dune). overall... well i definitely was bored through a lot of it—the plot, which i had kind of a sense of due to cultural osmosis or whatever, didn't matter to me at all—but there were several moments where i was interested in what lynch was doing & i do wonder what he could have done given more freedom.

[ooglywooglies]

okay so i finished quest for camelot and i think my memory of kayley and garrett being kind of two halves of a whole knight were not really true and also kayley was a bit less useless than i remember, i think the pacing of her growth arc was just so rushed that i didnt really notice it was happening last time. tbh i think most of the movies faults are just the pacing and awkward writing, and the fact that they shoehorned in a bunch of random musical numbers for no reason other than to try to copy disneys formula

also the like, its so weird that they keep making visual references to kayley getting married (even though she doesnt) bc that was a big plot point in the book i guess

tbh im surprised and feel like i should be grateful that they never once mentioned anything about kayley having like woman expectations placed upon her or that she was trying to defy them like no one told her she couldnt be knight bc she was a girl and that takes some real restraint from 90s writers but at the same time, why write it like that anyway??? they made a little joke at the start where she talks about rescuing damsels and she goes "what is a damsel anyway" because the title of the book is the kings damosel and its like, what does this mean though why didnt they actually do anything with this, i guess its supposed to be funny because shes a girl haha she doesnt know SHES supposed to be the damsel

like literally the only difference between this movie and regular "girls can play sports too" 90s pop feminism writing is that they didnt put it in the dialogue

but anyway, all that stuff aside, it wasnt a good movie. like it was just boring, the songs were annoying, the animation and art were pretty ugly, the writing (dialogue especially) was really weak BUT it wasnt as bad as i thought it was when i watched this like 10 years ago, i think i really jumped on the "oh so youre comparing being a woman to being disabled????" idea i had of it, which like, no, they werent doing that, kayley and garrett were both just disadvantaged in their aspirations for becoming knights even though the movie didnt really bother to actually say that or build on that directly

like i think the biggest problem with this movie is it was trying to be THREE different movies at once, a mulan/little mermaid ripoff, a story about a woman and disabled man who form a bond through common adversity and aspiration, and a loose adaptation of a novel about an arthurian side quest, and all three of them are kind of in conflict with each other mostly due to time constraints probably because we had to fit in the fucking looney tunes dragons who hate each other song for some fucking reason

unfortunate that the new saw movie is good or whatever because now i cant post a letterboxd review that says "this movie sawx" (pronounced like sucks) (as in "this movie sucks")

[starfxkrinc]

i saw a post u reblogged abt pope maybe having letterboxd and jj definitely having letterboxd and u said you always were thinking abt their top fours....... plwase please please i would love to hear what your thoughts on this are, for those two, and/or the other pogues and/or anyone else u have thoughts about 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

omg soooo i cant remember EVERY thing i said but!!

jj def has trash movies and one token good one. chud, frankenhooker, cotton comes to harlem, idle hands! he watched whatever he got from the bootleg man or what was on tv 😭 cotton comes to harlem gets swapped with kill bill from time to time

pope is more half fun half refined! pope just screammmmmms tumblr kid so imo

do the right thing, weird science, submarine, moonrise kingdom. the the right thing often rotates with he got game he just loves spike lee imo!

john b watched whatever his dad had (and also one of the last movies he watched with his mom) so the outsiders, the mummy, bill & ted’s excellent adventure, and he liked zathura over jumanji 😭

i stand by rafe doesnt like movies so he doesnt have a letterboxd 😭 however movies that feel very ‘rafe’ are scarface (barry makes him watch it) american psycho, a clockwork orange, peeping tom

kie also gives tumblr kid but in a different way! daises (which is why sarah doing what she did killed her), death proof, the perks of being a wallflower, palo alto

sarahs are “basic” with one random ass artsy movie. so daises, mean girls, 10 things i hate about you, easy a

now for my girls heres what eye think.

kitten is a horror fiend in a different way than jj. ginger snaps, crash, the thing, possession. the thing gets rotated with doom generation.

foxy is also a tumblr kid, her pope and kitten have v similar tastes! ghost world, the royal tenenbaums, eternal sunshine, donnie darko. royal tenenbaums gets swapped with scott pilgrim and amelie often

bunnys taste is all over the place was ALSO a tumblr kid of the lana del rey variety. shes not a movie girl but she enjoys movies if that makes sense. showgirls, marie antoinette, mean girls, empire records.

lamb actually has very dark movie tastes? but shes happy! she snuck and watched them at the library. daughters of darkness, possession, valerie and her week of wonders, ganja & hess

edit: PLEASE I KNEW I WAS MISSING SOMETHING i forgot pup

shes a pure fun movie enjoyer she loves vibes and visuals. across the universe, almost famous, cant hardly wait, dazed and confused

im doing a retrospective on joan of arc film adaptations

my incomplete impressions so far / i will be revising this

exécution de jeanne d'arc (1898) by georges hatot and jeanne d'arc (1900) by georges méliès might or might not be for completionists but cmon méliès andddd ofc this was gonna be one of the first adaptations in cinema history. firmly believe that every preserved image is a miracle we should look at it

still haven't seen joan the woman (1916) by cecil b. demille / it's demille so im hoping for some cool big moments / i will come back to it

well i cried while rewatching the passion of joan of arc (1928) / cant imagine a world where the original dreyer version of the film got lost forever (it almost was) / aside from the passion i've only watched vampyr... need to see more dreyer asap i heard gertrud is good probably gonna watch it soon / you should light a candle and pray for falconetti that woman's performance is a punch / antonin artaud is in it what do you want me to say / masterpiece

haven't seen la merveilleuse vie de jeanne d'arc (1929) directed by marco de gastyne yet sooo we will be back here / some thoughts on film canon and nationalism

the "katharine hepburn as joan of arc in technicolor screen test" filmed in 1934 / but the film never happened :( / i wonder how katherine would've been in it she fits the joan image really well / it's short and it's on youtube go see it

the german adaptation das mädchen johanna (1935) by the austrian director gustav ucicky / probably the one im seeing next / well things can get very umm ultranationalist w joan so... but im interested

the joan of arc (1948) by victor fleming w the love of my life aka ingrid bergman.. so.. i don't like it.. i mean i love ingrid but i don't think she fits the character / very post ww2 hollywood / some good moments... i get the appeal of the big classical picture but yeah i dont really like this one

the saint joan (1957) by otto preminger w seberg / im gonna have to rewatch real quick cause i saw it like nine years ago when i was obsessed w jean after seeing breathless but i dont remember anything about the film itself so

procès de jeanne d'arc (1962) by robert bresson...................................... oh my............ such a masterpiece. probably my favorite joan of arc adaptation ever / rivette commented on the film on cahiers back in 63 (no 143, may 1963) you should totally check it / the bresson style always strips my soul off its body / "beautiful as a wall — but a wall of signs"

ending with jeanne la pucelle I and II — les batailles and les prisons — (1994) by jacques rivette, of course, born in rouen / divided into two films / i like the division and remember liking the film when i first saw it / but like preminger's version i saw it a long time ago (around the same time i first watched la religieuse) so i didn't know much about rivette back then. i'll watch it again soon.

i know there are other joan films but i only listed the ones i care, sorry

list on letterboxd:

[bathroomtrapped]

ohmygod i literally just made an account on letterboxd bc i watched saw (2004) and loved it so much and ur interview was so inspiring to me and ive been on an absolute craze trying to reblog like every single saw post on tumblr and i somehow found your account what the heck?!!?!?! ur art is AMAZING and i absolutely love ur takes on saw as a franchise and its significance to the queer community. i hope to be as knowledgeable of this franchise as you are one day despite me only being a baby saw fan!!

i had a quick question; i found on the saw heritage post blog that they thought leigh/james/someone else confirmed that saw (2004) did not actually occur the day before 9/11 despite the phone given to them being set to that date. however, when i asked them if they knew where this source was from (bc im so curious!!! i want to know everything!!!!!!) but neither they nor i could find the actual source for that so i was wondering if maybe u knew??? just curious :3

regardless ty for taking the time to read this and dedicating so much time to this fandom!! i love that horror fans like you exist in a fandom that i previously thought would be weird and slightly disturbed film bros (i had a lot of incorrect preconceived notions about saw that have been quickly resolved i promise)

thank you!! im glad that people feel the same way about it as i do but even if people thought i was some crazy transexual making everyone else woke and pronouns, i wouldnt care. the story, especially lawrences but adams as well, really resonates with me as a trans person for so so many reasons, more than i listed in the interview. to me, i cant read his character without filling in the gaps with trans subtext. it not only explains but also enriches the personal experiences of these characters as well as their dynamics with each other. theyre both characters that are defined primarily by how theyre seen by other people, themselves, and eventually each other. the narrative is soooo focused on perception and masks and who u truly are, i find it hard to separate any kind of queer theory from that.

as for the 9/11 question thats such a dumbass pet peeve of mine. its one of the things that makes me shout UMMMM ACTUALLY at the top of my lungs. my blood pressure sours to inhuman levels when someone confidently says the movie takes place not just in 2001 but the day before 9/11. not because of some interview or confirmation from any of the crew because my knowledge of old fandom history is incredibly spotty. old sites and interviews r a mystery to me for the most part BUT! the reason it is for sure not before 9/11 is because during the flashback of pauls trap (during lawrences monologue about jigsaw) kerry tapp and sing are all at the scene with other officers and i believe its kerry who holds up an evidence bag thats labeled 2004. the scene takes place 5 months before the events of saw 1 so its not possible that it takes place 3 years before that. it just seemed like a funny (but insanely bold considering how 9/11 was only 3 years before) joke and easter egg for people to catch on to, not actual lore meant to be taken seriously.

if u want to look for the interview, i would honestly just listen to the commentary tracks bc it mightve been said there. i know in the one with leigh, james, and cary they discuss plot holes fans complained about, questions fans had online, the fanfic they read (briefly LOL). ive only seen that one (and once) but theres at least 2 other commentary tracks with different people that i havent gotten around to for fear of like. completing saw? idk i cant bring myself to watch all of the commentary tracks but theres a chance they discuss it there! i can only speculate on the reason, all i know is that saw 2004 takes place in 2004 based on actual evidence from the media itself

if u have any other questions let me know. i still have the original draft of the interview which had more questions and longer responses bc i couldve gone on for days abt the lore and saw queer theory and ill never shut up about it

[zeppeli-reelstallbun]

-> masterlist

long time lurker, first time diving into actually posting, so figured i’d do an introduction under the cut!!

Hey yall! Unapologetically queer midwestern twenty-year-old with no idea what she’s doing here to tell you more about herself!

Where to start… well, I’m currently in school working towards a degree in infographic marketing and design. That being said, my minor specialization is in the history subgenre, so I hope to work in the political field in some capacity. I write a lot of formal essays, so my time is divided during the year.

I will not be labeling as mdni, but probably won’t reach out to younger users! NSFW works will be tagged appropriately. Consume what you want tho folks.

always looking for mutuals/someone to viciously explain how this website works as if I were a boomer. interests include jjba, succession, star wars, tlou/tlou2, jjk, nge, and many others im sure im forgetting. Im also a big film nerd, so letterboxd users hml

I play a shit ton of instruments, my favorite artists rn are bowie and kendrick (what a pairing i know, but I did get tickets to the gn tour!!)

Lit NERD over here as well, book recs (and any media, really) are an instant path to my heart.

sapphic blog, though the straight x reader fanfic says otherwise

need ritsuko and misato to kiss bad

need them to kiss me bad

constantly thinking about abby anderson and her bench pr (im a gym rat and she could ruin me idc)

and i mean constantly

there’s not a day i lift without thinking about biting her arms oooooh mamma

girl kisser <- that’s me!

I hate to say this without immediately coming off as one of those bi girls in a straight relationship who yaps about wanting to be with women all the time, but yeahimdefoneofthosebigirlsinastraightrelationshipwhoyapsaboutwantingtobewithwomenallthetime

Which sucks because I can’t even complain about the man I’m dating while doing it, which is like, the whole point of the cliche

Whatever though, Ill swallow my pride and lean into it. He’s truly one of the greatest things thats happened to me and I’ve gotten nearly four years of proof that its not changing anytime soon. We also have a cat together, one who cant stay off a keybard and contributes to fics from time to time as well!!

Also uh *cough cough cough* a lot of the details (esp once we get deeper into smut) wouldn’t be as descriptive without him *cough cough* But you didn’t hear that from me

Plus at least the bf likes men romantically and supports the wlw grindset, we love an ally B)

Idk how we have the same taste in women and such vast different tastes in men. Maybe this just means my type is ME and im too self absorbed for my own good, but I digress

Already left my ‘straight, white, abusive, overwatch boy’ era years ago, fear not my fellow m*n loving sappics, there are other, better options!!

ah that’s all i can think of rn!! always open in my dms if you wanna know more or see something you want to talk about!!

[sleepinghound]
