hey guys!
today on skys slightly iffy comfort media: Alex Strangelove
i get that the bisexual bit was like a cop out. i get that it should have been handled better. i get that it’s a weird ass movie.
i love it.
i absolutely love that movie to bits and i will not here negative talk about it that isn’t reasonable. you have your right to be upset, or uncomfortable. you do!! but as a bisexual myself, that movie is my comfort shit. it’s so funny and cute and a little cringe but in the best way possible and ough i loveeee it! i love it!
i need to write for it someday….

just watched Alex Strangelove, uhh idk how to feel. Just know one thing: I can be a man for Elliot, like, HE'S SO HOT IN THAT MOVIE WTF, the hottest personality of all time
I liked Claire, she's kinda sweet (sometimes), not really my type, but okay girl. Loved Dell too, he's funny idk, he's cute. I didn't like Alex, he got on my nerves, sorry. But the best one is easyyyy, ELLIOTT (he's literally my dream gay boyfriend, I want friends like him, pls)

Tonight I am trying out some movies I expect to be terrible but might surprise me
1. Alex Strangelove. From the premise I'm guessing: first, he's bi. Second, the movie might call him Strange for being bi instead of just calling him bi. Since he's "strangelove" despite the last name Truelove. However, perhaps in a better case scenario that's not a little rude to bisexuality, instead maybe Alex discovers he's polyamprous and ends up with both crushes. Solve the movie with a throttle. I'll rate it higher for sure shhdjr
2. The Craft Legacy. I've heard it was not as good as the original The Craft (which I expected). However, Nicholas Galitzine is in it and I'm really gay right now and I think him and witches is enough overlap of my interests to keep my attention, also I hear his character bisexual and problematic which is a hook at the moment. I will be biting my tongue trying to pretend it has nothing to do with the original The Craft tho cause I own that movie I like it so much
Honorable mention: I watched Handsome Devil a few nights ago, its free on youtube so go check it out, also for Nick Galiztine. Andrew Scott is also in it! It's great. It's Dead Poets Society kinda but queer. It's a very good coming of age film, with realism and optimism. It kind of feels like Jennifer's Body but for the teen queer boys instead of the teen queer girls. It's not horror, it's very nice honestly it was comforting. I just can't think of a "queer teen girl friends" experience movie that clicked with me except Jennifer's body at the moment. I'm not sure how many "queer teen guy friends" coming of age movies there are, but there should be more. Handsome Devil was great and I wish it was a movie niche with at least like 20 other movies with similar themes

Show recs ?
note: most of these will be on netflix since that's the main thing I watch shows/movies on :) Also, this is a really long post, so bare with me.
-SHOWS--NETFLIX-
The Unlisted
The Unlisted is a show about this group implanting kids in an attempt to control them, and it's mainly about the kids who didn't get the implants or the "unlisted". Super good, 8.5/10.
(Kal x Jacob forever if you know you know... like yeah they're not canon but they def like each other so it doesn't really matter lmao)
Raising Dion
I'll admit that I haven't finished the new season, but it's so good!!!!
Basically, it's about this group of people who got powers from some supernatural event--specifically the child of one of them, who is sort of a legacy/2nd gen of powered people--and how something is hunting them down. 9/10
Young Royals
Young Royals is a romance (I guess?) show about Wilhem, the prince of Sweden, going to a boarding school and how he sort of develops a romance with one of the other boys there :) super good and I can't wait for the 2nd season!!! 10/10
Get Even
Show about 4 girls who secretly out bullies and bad teachers under the alias DGM, then get caught up in a murder investigation. 10/10.
The Letter for the King
I LOVE this show. Probably watched it... 4 times? It's so good, and I would totally recommend it to anyone and everyone :)
9/10 (I loved it... just... sigh you'll figure it out)
JUSSIPO X FOLDO FOREVER
A Series of Unfortunate Events
I loved the books, but the show is super good too! Also, love the casual queer rep :) 11/10
(books had 2 canonically queer characters, show 4)
First Kill
Low-budget gay vampires/monster hunters. Star-crossed lovers. Secret... clubs. What more could you want? Oh, I know, A SECOND SEASON-
9/10.
=MOVIES--NETFLIX (the section no one asked for)=
Yours, Mine, & Ours
Kind of dorky, but I enjoyed it. It's about how two parents--with 10 and 8 kids respectively--are getting married, and their kids are desperately trying to stop it. 8/10
The Willoughbys
I CANNOT SAY ENOUGH ABOUT THIS MOVIE. Four kids who live with neglectful parents in an old home, cut off from the world. One of them, the oldest, is still holding onto the hope of honoring the legacy of his family. They get a nanny, and... well, you'll see. 11/10.
Airplane Mode
Also kind of dorky, but I loved it.
After their daughter gets in yet another accident from texting and driving, parents confiscate her phone and send her to the country with her grandfather. 10/10.
Alex Strangelove
Alex Truelove's (yes, that's his real name) plan to lose his virginity to his girlfriend, Claire, doesn't exactly go to plan when he can't stop thinking about the guy he met at a party a few weeks before. Loved it! Some details here and there, but I think it's great either way. 9.5/10.
Memories of a Teenager
After one of his friends commits suicide, teenager Zabo begins to blog about his life online.
Basically, it's a movie about depression, friendship, and trying to find yourself--throughout the movie the main character, Zabo, is trying to figure out his identity and goes out with/likes/dates multiple men and women. Great rep, really enjoyed it. 9/10.
The Boys in the Band
OMGOMGOMG okay. 1968 New York, seven gay friends, a birthday party. When a surprise guest shows up at the party, it leads to a drunken game that--whether they likes it or not--makes everybody think.
I adore this movie, I can't even-
11/10
LARRY IS STILL HOT I CAN'T-
The Half of It
When a jock asks her to help him write love letters and messages to his crush, Ellie is surprised when she finds herself falling for this girl too.
Great romance, loved the resolution & the relationships between the characters. Still cackling about Paul's mom's face when he said he had to grind something-
10/10.
+ MOVIES AND SHOWS--OTHER MISC SOURCES +
Full Out (buy or rent on youtube)
Full Out is the true story of gymnast Anna Berlin who, after getting into a car accident, is told she'll never be able to compete/do gymnastics again. It's basically her story of recovery through gymnastics... and a hip hop group she finds herself a part of. 10/10.
But I'm A Cheerleader (free on youtube)
Lesbian romance blossoming in a conversion camp? Sign me up.
After her friends and family gather to tell her that they think she's a lesbian, Megan is sent off to True Directions, a conversion therapy program... where she goes from not believing she's a lesbian to... growing closer with another participant, Graham. 10/10.
The Brokenwood Mysteries (acorn TV)
A murder mystery show set in the fictional town of Brokenwood, New Zealand. Awesome cast of main & side characters, and good representation with different races, ethnicities, genders, and sexual orientations. 10/10.
#arlofanclub
Middle School: The Worst Years of my Life
This movie follows Rafe as he moves schools and decides to break every one of the 100s of rules made by his overbearing principal, along with his sidekick Leo. Amazing movie, and amazing way of developing the characters & Rafe's dealing with everything throughout the movie (if you've watched/read, you know what I'm talking about)! 12/10.
Ferris Bueller's Day Off (netflix, amazon)
I put this one here since I'm not positive if it is still on Netflix or how long it will stay, but here we go. Ferris Bueller doesn't want to go to school on a great day like this (pretend it's sunny and nice outside), so he rounds up his girlfriend and his best friend and they skip out on school to have fun.
My summary doesn't do it any justice. This movie is also one of my favs. 12/10.
Handsome Devil (peacock)
When a loner and a star rugby player become roommates at a rugby-obsessed boarding school, the (truly repulsive) rugby coach tries to get to the bottom of why his newest player transferred in the first place. 12/10.
Ride Like a Girl
The true story of the first woman to win the Melbourne Cup, an Australian horse racing competition thing! 12/10
So yeah, that's my master list. I might continue to update here and there, but that's what I've got so far! All these movies/shows are pretty near and dear to my heart, and for a lot of them it's because of the queer and/or POC rep.
(Also, if you're wondering on the ASOUE thing: Charles and Sir are canonically queer in the books, joined by Babs and Jerome [both bisexual] in the show. Also Mrs. Bass, I suppose.)
Happy binging!
<3,
Bat

Johnny Truelove likes to see himself as tough. He’s the son of an underworld figure and a drug dealer. Johnny also likes to get tough when things don’t go his way. When Jake Mazursky fails to pay up for Johnny, things get worse for the Mazursky family, as Johnny and his ‘gang’ kidnap Jake’s 15 year old brother and holds him hostage. Problem now is what to do with ‘stolen boy?’

Movie Reviews:
J4stringthang: OK Timberlake fans and haters alike, Calm Down! Largely regarded as “you know, that movie with Timberlake in it.” Alpha Dog was enjoyable. And Timberlake did a great job. He is definitely all grown up now. A strong supporting cast of Sharon Stone and Bruce Willis sure didn’t hurt. I loved how the cast worked so good together. They were very believable. The movie did a great job of showing us just how crazy and out of control a simple misunderstanding can get. Hopeful Hollywood does force Ben Foster down our throat! Small doses please! NOTE: Alpha Dog has a lot of language in it.
DoryDarko: Going into this film, I had no idea what it was about, only that it was based on a true story. And the more I think about this fact, the truth behind it all, the more it saddens me.
The story that unfolded before my eyes...

Is this an AU based on the world of star trek with a hint of political thriller in which I threw some of my favorite characters together to make an all star team or is this simply a story to show you no matter what part of the galaxy there in Nick and Charlie will always be end game.

O estudante de ensino médio Alex Truelove é o melhor amigo de Claire há muito tempo, mas depois de descobrir que sua mãe está sendo testada para câncer, ela e Alex se beijam e começam a namorar. Eles planejam reservar um quarto de hotel e fazer sexo pela primeira vez. Em uma festa, Alex conhece Elliot, um adolescente assumidamente gay. As interações contínuas de Alex com Elliot, que obviamente tem uma queda por Alex, o levam a questionar sua sexualidade. Ele confessa ao amigo Del que acredita que pode ser bissexual, mas Del diz que está nervoso por perder a virgindade com Claire e sua ansiedade o levou a uma falsa conclusão. Um dia, enquanto estava no quarto de Elliot, Alex o beija, mas imediatamente se arrepende e sai furioso. Durante a noite da primeira vez que fizeram sexo, Alex admite a Claire que sente algo por outra pessoa e ela o expulsa. Evitando Elliot, Alex vai a uma festa onde ele dorme bêbado com uma garota que ele acabou de conhecer. Claire os pega, e Alex a persegue noite adentro. Ele cai em uma piscina onde as memórias de sua vida anterior voltam para ele. Claire o encontra fora da piscina, momento em que ele diz a ela que ele é gay. Eles decidem ainda ir ao baile juntos de qualquer maneira. No baile, Claire revela que convidou Elliot para ser o par real de Alex, sabendo que nenhum deles realmente faria o movimento sem ela "passar o bastão". Enquanto Alex está inicialmente preocupado com todos os observando, ele decide que sua afeição por Elliot é mais forte e o beija. A história termina com Alex criando um vídeo com Claire detalhando sua saída, que é sobreposta com vídeos reais de muitas outras pessoas. Alex Strangelove é um filme de comédia romântica americana de 2018, escrito e dirigido por Craig Johnson e estrelado por Daniel Doheny , Antonio Marziale e Madeline Weinstein . O filme teve sua estreia mundial no Festival Internacional de Cinema de São Francisco em 14 de abril de 2018. Foi lançado em 8 de junho de 2018, no Netflix .

Marine Biology
Zach’s love for marine biology in season 1 parallels Alex’s love for marine biology in the movie Alex Strangelove and I want everyone else to think about this as much as I do
