Comments on reefer madness 1936:

The casting for the musical version is impeccably accurate

I'm confused as to why Jimmy is Mary's brother in this. I get she's with Bill instead but everyone looks so similar it's confusing.

It's nice to see mae in charge and not being abused however I feel like I have less reason to side with her so at the end when she flips she'll just flip rather than having any motivation.

it feels weird seeing people actually wearing normal clothing 💀

Just to note I'm watching the colourised version because I needed visuals or I zone out lol, I love the different coloured smoke.

This really lacks details in the musical, I know it's because this is "realistic" rather than camp but the pacing to this is worse than our first run through of frasier last December.

I will also say that I can see how some Storyline have been merged but its a lot less easy to follow.

Wild to think people genuinely thought weed does this to people.

It feels odd not seeing from "Bill" 's perspective when he's high. Yes his name is going in inverted commas because I refuse to accept this version of events (I'm just being picky, ignore me)

So is the woman in purple meant to be like Sally? Just (thankfully) without the burning babies and not so subtle racist Storylines?

I miss the days when Mary was in control. That sounds weird but from the way he's grabbing he's either going to try to or succeed in assaulting her and I'm not fucking happy about it.

Mae is unsettling me with how quiet she is.

I will say the old five and dime scenes are much more bearable, plus it features more which is interesting.

Ngl I was struggling to stay awake during the court scene.

Oh so RALPH killed Jack? And Blanche is alive?

This isn't reefer madness istg.

So I'm willing to bet mae in the musical is like a mishmash of Blanche and Mae since Blanche is the one who gets Bill out of prison?

Something to ponder: did Blanche think she was on the ground floor or could she just not handle the memory of what happened to Mary?

What a bollocks ending

Summary: not worth the watch, only put it on if you need a sleep aid, boring, slow paced, confusing, trashy ending, I will not be telling my children.

THE ADDAMS FAMILY (1991) dir. Barry Sonnenfeld

I feel like people don’t talk enough about the Neon Genesis Evangelion game that was on the N64. The soundtrack uses the exact same sound font as Super Mario 64 which resulted in the funniest official rendition of Komm, süsser Tod:

I've seen thousands of Evelyns, but never a Evelyn like you. You have so many goals you never finished. Dreams you never followed. You are living your worst you. I can't be the worst… what about the hot dog one? No. Everyone here agrees. This one's worse.

GILLIAN ANDERSON as MEREDITH PLAYING BY HEART (1998) dir. Willard Carroll

[maculategiraffe]

okay so here's what I saw the tv glow did so well. it is of course a trans allegory, but it does the trans allegory so skillfully and with so much feeling that even though I'm arguably cis it still resonated really deeply for me as:

that feeling when in the bleak thirsty isolated wilderness of being a strange kid, you find someone else who--

--isn't even LIKE you necessarily, it's not that, it's not that you're so alike, it's that the same thing is strange about both of you. it's that the same thing is up with both of you. the same thing is wrong with both of you, except that when you're together you know it's not a wrong thing, it's just what you are. you are the pink opaque. plural you.

YOOOOO!! I know I bullied a ton of people into watching Godzilla Minus One in theaters (and it was worth it, wasn't it??), but it's now finally available to watch at home as well!

Starting June 1st on Netflix, and for digital purchase/rental.

I cannot overstate how phenomenal this movie is. You can go into it with the highest expectations and it will still shake you to the core. It has such a dark premise, but is a story of profound hope and healing, and I personally find it incredibly cathartic. It is utterly stand alone and complete by itself, no prior knowledge of Godzilla needed.

Do yourself a favor and please watch it!

Lisa Frankenstein was SO cute, the kinda movie I needed in high school (luckily I had May, which is a similarly "shes just like me fr" movie) and I don't normally like romance movies but this one made my heart feel weird afterwards.

Anyway, I think post-movie Lisa and May could and should be friends and sewing buddies.

all of a sudden I don't want to dye my hair anymore because if I die I want to be my truest natural self 😭

I very much recommend watching Epic the Musical on Youtube.

I know a little about it! Mostly through animatics. I've heard all of "The Horse and the Infant" from ROTTMNT but all I really recall of it is the infant section I heard more recently in a LMK one. I've also seen "Get in the Water", male and female version, but I heard the female version first for an animatic of Hama that's now on Youtube (First link is tumblr, second is youtube).

Everything I've heard so far is a bang-up job! I just keep forgetting to actually check it out.

Animation loving part of my brain: "It's been so long since I've seen Grave of the Fireflies, I should rewatch it"

the sane part of my brain: "DID YOU LEARN NOTHING LAST TIME-"

Gems me and my friend said watching Kiss Kiss Bang Bang (2005) for the first time;

"This man (Harry) is neurodivergent." "OH MY GOD I WAS GONNA SAY THAT TOO."

"We're twenty minutes in and this guy only gets screwed! Can someone screw him good, for once, please?"

"Gay isn't even doing much." "His name is Perry." ".... I thought Perry was his last name." "What, no, his last name is Van something something." "Then why do they call him Gay Perry?"

"No straight guy would say 'I'm profoundly within the pussy.'" "It's knees deep in pussy." "Oh."

"I thought he meant that he's deep within the pussy." "No, he's just surrounded by it. Like there's a lot of pussy." "WHAT THE FUCK DOES THAT MEAN!"

"... He's not a very good detective is he?"

"Do you know what f*ggot means?" "No."

"By the lord, what can go wrong now-- OH MY GOD THE CORPSE"

"HE WASN'T HIRED TO FIND THE MURDER, HE WAS HIRED TO HIDE THE CORPSE!" (This notion was proved, in fact, wrong)

"I just imagine someone seeing that corpse flying off the roof and bei-- AAAAAAHHHHHH KISS?!"

*Lost our shit when Harmony appeared after the Kiss* "DUDE! Oh my god... This guy.... He has to explain the kiss, and why the cops are looking for him, AND the corpse is still there, with the car shaking from Perry manhandling it. What can he say?"

Harry, on screen: "I managed to convince her that I wasn't gay." "HOW?"

"Love the snap snap, you go girl." (About Perry)

"Harry's the only sane one in the group. He fucking screams when he sees the corpse, he screams when someone gets shot, he screams... He screams."

"Everybody else is too ok with everything going on in this shit."

"I can see Perry's foreboding shadow in the crowd, fully expected him to be the only one to lift his hand when Harmony asked who hates Harry."

"Did he just...." "Graciously duck away from a flying glass, yeap."

"Are these two (goons) having a couples bit right now?" "I mean, they said that... *Rewinds* They were wondering why a guy like him (Harry) was hanging out with gay people." "Do they mean themselves?" (They did NOT, in fact, mean themselves. They meant Perry.)

"Love how Harry's just watching them bickering like should I run? Should I stay? Do I kill myself?"

"Honey, you can't be stealthy with that outfit. The fucking pom pom borders on your skirt are literally shining in the light."

"Gay, stop frolicking and look at the car that's about to run you over."

"HOW DID SHE NOT SEE HIM IN THE CAR?" "He was asleep...."

"His finger is still fucked up by the way. He never did get to that fucking hospital."

"Imagine finding a stranger just walking into your house." "IMAGINE SLEEPING IN A CAR THAT'S NOT YOURS ON A RANDOM STREET AND WAKING UP IN SOMEONE'S HOUSE."

"Oop, and there goes the finger. To the butthole."

"I can't understand a single thing that's going on, but I don't even give a fuck."

"WHY is it so important that the dead girl wasn't wearing underwear!"

Perry, on screen: "This isn't Good Cop, Bad Cop, it's fag and New Yorker, now spill." *Both tumbled over in laughter, and proceeded to repeat that for the rest of the movie*

"Why does he look so happy at the prospect of getting patted down?"

"His penis can shoot?"

"You know, I'm starting to think that when he said he was knees deep in pussy, he was being sarcastic."

"He lost his neurodivergent sparkle... Now he's just traumatized...."

"IF PERRY DIES I'M KILLING MYSELF."

"Honey... That's not... How you fix a bullet wound..." "Shut up, he's using the opportunity he was given to smooch."

"We were fools..... They couldn't kill Perry, he's the only competent one. Shit wouldn't get done without him."

"Hey, look it's Abraham Lincoln!" "IS THAT FUCKING ELVIS PRESLEY?"

"He didn't end up with Perry.... I'm sad." "What the fuck are you talking about? That was Perry!" "THAT WAS PERRY? WHAT." "He just.... Has a Beard."
