so much to think about with show girls. the run time. the lesbianism. the constant talking about food and nails. the grunting. all the yelling and arguing and pulling each other around. how the main character literally flops like a fish while doing sexual stuff on/to kyle maclachlan (TWICE!). how its maybe one of the least sexy films ive ever seen. how terrible kyle maclachlans hair is in it...the movie that keeps on giving 😭

So I watched Possession (1981) last night and all these people analyzing the movie are calling it a "breakup movie" and saying it's "obsessed with division" like ? Did we even watch the same thing ? I get that they're both manic and that's kinda the point but Anna clearly states multiple times that she's not interested in Mark anymore. And in response he screams, cuts off her sentences, gets up in her space, does all he can to prevent her from going anywhere. Gee, I wonder why she wants to leave him. But the reason she can't is because there's a power imbalance, which is reflected in the filmmaking too; look at the contrast between the scenes of them in the apartment (claustrophobic, suffocating camerawork, the space is always a colossal mess) and the scene at the beginning where Mark is talking with those guys in that comically open, unfurnished room. He has so much more freedom than her. Someone in the movie confronts him about this, and he's all like "I don't want freedom". We also get a taste of the backstory when Heinrich's mom tells Mark that Anna came to Heinrich because of how Mark acts toward her. It's just so clear to me that Mark's controlling behavior is the instigator of Anna's madness, it's not some mutual clashing of personalities. The blueprint for ending the relationship is right there, the obstacle is that Mark literally won't let Anna leave him!! Is my reading of the film. And the film is so real for that, 10/10, but like what am I missing?

sorry to be controversial but i have to speak my truth

every single one of you who i’ve seen try to put orpheus and eurydice into the barbie and ken from barbie (2023) dynamic has failed because orpheus is not a ken,,, he is a barbie,,,,,

Just watched Gummo

Definitely one of the movies I’ve ever seen

[minisnail]

watched the new trolls movie yesterday. i forgot about this review i wrote right after

[james-stark-the-writer]

this movie is entirely unnecessary when two other Asian people that actually understand how to collectively depict humanity and not make an individualistic narrative about us have evolved and perfected what this movie was trying to do. just go watch Chloe Zhao’s Eternals (2021) and M. Night Shyamalan's Glass (2019). this is a less effective version of Glass (because Snyder doesn’t have the depth Shyamalan does to understand and weave spirituality through his narratives) and like if Eternals was a bad movie that was actually kinda antithetical to its entire point and didn’t believe in people at all. it's compelling, and interesting, but it's not good.

My ★★★★ review of Man of Steel on Letterboxd

I watched poor things today and the first scene takes place in london and it was in black and white and I thought the movie was just gonna keep the london scenes black and white and I was gonna accept it.

I should have known. I know I should have known. But I am losing my mind over Jesse Armstrong’s writing credits.

If this man can go from writing for kids tv, to creating/writing iconic British sitcoms and sketch shows, to creating one of the greatest tv shows of all time, you really can do anything.
