You know what would devastate me? Professor X or Magneto seeing current poolverine and losing their shit.

That said, do it.

Whatever your circumstances may be, you deserve the justice of courts, not criminals. To turn you over is to acquiesce. Worse yet, it betrays an old friend. But to harbour you risks the lives of everyone aboard this ship. Including hers.

Femme 2023 is described as a queer erotic thriller, a violent sexy revenge story. It's rated 18 in the UK and absolutely deserves the age rating for sex, violence, violent sex and plenty of blurry lines between. Definitely look up doesthedogdie or unconsenting media first.

The problem with comparing it to the 90s erotic thrillers like Fatal Attraction or Basic Instinct is you don't know if the reviewer's going from the mainstream understanding of those films or the queer or feminist reading of those messy relationships, those complex women.

[ side note: the string of sex scenes was a LOT even by eurotrash/netflix-cut-to-thrusting standards, I mean that in a "Dude, that's an awful lot of thrills mistaken for exhilaration without realizing this might not be great" way. But it had been a while since i've seen an erotic thriller and that framing might be par for the course. I'm not watching 50 Shades to compare any time soon.

Then again, there are an awful lot of straight movies/shows with lots of banging and not much crackle. Especially for me: if there's no character development in an intimate scene it's really obvious to us aces. ]

If we are taking those women as far more interesting than simple villains, if we are interested in revenge as a motivation and not necessarily a resolution, then this film fits the genre. It's quite the addition.

-------------------

Let's just say that for me, this film wasn't about two protags, it was about one man's journey to reclaim his sense of self and that path was as messy and uncontrollable and hard to understand as real life often gets after a traumatic event.

Sometimes the beginning of healing is as much about reclaiming the narrative on a social level and on a personal level as it is about reclaiming your own self from your internal multiverse of 'what if's and 'if only's.

Jules tries on many personas and desires for size, fumbles the classic hollywood revenge plots, but the open ending is very much The End... and also the beginning of Jules, who now knows who he is and what he wants.

----------------------

Absolute white-knuckle ride of a film, disturbing and relatable, great examination of the performances of masculinity and how men relate to other men. I really appreciate that the film didn't try to 'both side' it and gave us some layering to the characters.

Nathan Stewart-Jarrett is electrifying and if you don't know his work that well, assume Jules/Aphrodite is in his late 20s.

DBDA AU

Here is what I have for the "Dead Boy Detectives" AU I mentioned in one of my previous posts! :D Like mentioned on that post, for now I just took my four main characters(Suzie, Shadow, Liam, and Kyle) and tried to translate them into the roles of the four main characters from the show, with some similarities but obvious differences to not be total copies. I did have some struggles with these initially, but I think I got my ideas to a good place right now. If you would like to see more from this AU or learn more about, please let me know! Otherwise, I hope you enjoy~

================================================

. Suzie: Crystal stand in. Still has her medium-related abilities, but was a full part of the popular kids at her school. A people-pleaser who had a hard time stopping her "friends" from being bullies, but found it hard to break away from them as she kept getting pulled into their bullying antics. Aside from those "friends", she has also had a few boyfriends who were also not the best of influences or good for her mental health. She also didn't receive the best attention at home, as she is the middle child and her parents didn't always know how to help her compared to her sisters. Not wanting to be forgotten or pushed aside, she did what she could to stand out and have more people on her side, even if said people weren't all that good to be around. Experiences some sort of corruption event at the hands of an ex that allows for her to temporarily forget her family and meet the others. First met the boys after she wanted answers for what she felt was a supernatural cause to her memory loss, before they later all met Shadow and came together as a group.

. Shadow: Niko stand in. A witch who is also a loner as she found it difficult finding or making friends with similar interests as her, or who didn't immediately outcast her as "weird". As her mother died when she was young, she found it hard to let others into her life as she shut most people out as part of not confronting her feelings. Originally born with black hair, but during a spell she was working on that went wrong and she ended up getting possessed, her hair gained blonde streaks afterwards. She was attending a normal public school before her possession, where afterwards she dropped out, both from feeling lethargy and that there was no point in her learning stuff she already had a somewhat good grasp on. Out of the others she first met Suzie, feeling drawn to her before she met the boys. After hearing about their mini detective agency, she wanted to join to contribute her witchcraft and pre-existing supernatural knowledge on potential cases.

. Liam: Edwin stand in. Died from an electrocution accident. In life he was very quiet and reserved, kept to himself as he attended to his private school studies instead of making friends, which he was never good at. While he always tried to present himself as calm, mature, and put-together, he has a lot of internal feelings he either tries to hide or is oblivious to. Cordial with most people, though he does have a low-key sassy and bitter side that sometimes peeps through when dealing with people he doesn't particularly like. Had an interest in the growing technology of the world, partially thanks to his parents' business, and planned to learn all he could to be a knowledge resource for all. At the same time, he also wanted to learn more about the time manipulation abilities he seemingly had, not knowing where they came from or why he had them. One day when he was walking near a factory he abandoned his better judgement to check it out, experiencing a fatal shock that ended up taking his life. Was stuck in a limbo-like state for many years, before he found himself back on the mortal plane. Soon after his return he met Kyle, who quickly became his best friend as they talked and related life experiences with each other.

. Kyle: Charles stand in. Died in a car accident. While he always had a good relationship with his mother growing up, his relationship with his other family members in comparison wasn't the best. His father was always busy with work, so he rarely had time to be there or be supportive of him. His older half-brother, while not around a lot, always was a big source for his anxiety as he always felt like he was walking on eggshells around him with his dismissiveness and hostility. Through his other struggles in life, he tried to remain positive by enjoying the things he loves, such as retro or obscure media and fashion trends, theater, and golf. While these things did bring a more positive outlet to his life, between some family and peer troubles, he was too riddled with anxiety one night and ended up in a devastating car crash. Not long after he came back as a ghost, he met Liam, who quickly became his best friend as they talked and related life experiences with each other. Both wanting to do better by others than how they were treated in life, they started up a mini detective agency, with Liam taking more of the "brains" role with his research and gadgets, and Kyle taking the "brawn" role with his impulsivity and more "physical" interests.
