Day 8

“In the Gloaming” directed by Christopher Reeve, which is maybe something I knew at some point, is a sorta gentle 90s, sentimental tear jerker about a gay guy with aids coming home to his waspy new england family home to die… basically. Kinda soft piano and strings, dappled autumn memories, staid uptight father who keeps walking out of rooms, mom who cares and wishes she did more, shitty sister. Little Lifetime movie vibes, but it’s not as bad as all that. Some very beautiful golden light New England in autumn landscapes and it has a really good cast. Bridget Fonda, David strathern, Whoopi Goldberg and the always amazing Glenn close. So this could have been a lot worse, but the performances are what really keep this from being so overly saccharine. Some pretty good scenes between Glenn close and Bridget Fonda, & Glenn close and Robert Sean Leonard & Glenn close and David strathern. Basically anything Glenn close!! I was a little worried about watching a movie about taking care of a loved one who is dying, considering, but I didn’t get too emotional about it. Almost a little misty eyed at points, a little of that dull ache of thinking of what’s to come, but not too bad. But anyway it’s only an hour long. Not sure if this is a recommendation, but if you’re into watching a movie like this, then it’s for you.

“Querelle, a strange blend of sodomy and homicide, is alternately appealing, intriguing and silly. Brad Davis is cast in the title role, that of a seagoing sexpot who’s desired by all of the principal characters and by several of the minor ones, as well … The action transpires on campy, blatantly artificial sets straight out of an MGM musical from the forties. (The lighting, too, is garishly theatrical). The soundstage is swarming with sweaty semi-nude sailors. The mooring posts on the dock are unmistakably phallic. Even the swooping Art Nouveau ornamentation on the windows is obscenely suggestive. Anything, apparently for erotic effect … we get the feeling that if they upped the decadence by one iota, the screen would start oozing fungus …”

/ Author Paul Roen reflecting on Querelle in his 1994 book High Camp: A Gay Guide to Camp and Cult Films, Volume 1 /

“The idea of murder often evokes the idea of sea and seafarers ...” opens Querelle of Brest, French literary bad boy Jean Genet’s notorious novel (written in 1947, published in 1953). It’s also the opening line of Querelle (1982), the great maverick German director Rainer Werner’s Fassbinder’s final film (he died of a drug overdose aged just 37 before it premiered) – which opened in French cinemas on this day (8 September 1982). Starring rugged Brad Davis in the lead role, Franco Nero and then-reigning queen of European art cinema Jeanne Moreau, Querelle is a fascinating, hallucinatory experiment, a powerful study of decadence and a feverish (wet) dream of a movie! Pictured: Davis and Fassbinder conferring during production of Querelle. Now sing along with me: “Each man kills the thing he loves …”

Well he’s obviously talented… there’s that whole nepobaby thing happening a year or 2 ago, and I could care less about someone’s parents or family, if they’re talented. Actually has the opposite effect, like it’s pretty cool that Anthony Perkins had 2 really talented kids. Like it’s not like I like what they create BECAUSE they’re the kids of Anthony Perkins. So it doesn’t bother me at all that like Zoe kravitz is successful cause shes actually good. It starts getting bad when you can tell the parent is paying to get their kid in shit, like will smiths kid. The hanks’ children are a good example, the one son Colin had a moment there, and tbh it’s not like I seen him in anything he did, but I got the impression people liked the guy and it seems he works a lot and has been for a decade or 2, so like good for him. I can see someone like that finding a good role and killing it in his like 60s or something… and then there’s Chet hanks who prob got doors opened to him also cause of his parents but since he’s talent-less all those opportunities clearly have dried up, so whatever. It all balances out. Complaining about nepotism will never do anything, cause it’s gonna happen whether you tweet about it or not lol

Oh and yea longlegs was pretty good but not great, or as great as people said. Just remembered not connecting with the story, but the direction was great, atmosphere, visually all good… also didn’t care for nic cage in it.

When I think about Biden's Infrastructure Bill, the largest infrastructure investment in modern American history, how every member of both the Republican Party and the Squad voted against it, how the MSM never talked about it, how the left didn't give a fucking shit, don't you fucks ever say to me that you care about infrastructure investment ever again. Anyone who didn't vote for Kamala Harris kys.

Oh yea he did that ‘gretel & hansel’ movie from a few years ago which was just visually stunning!! Maybe his best work as a director! Everyone loved longlegs last year, and I liked it a lot too but I think visually gretel and hansel is better. And yea i think I saw that best of the worst with that busey dog movie… looked awful haha his brother Elvis Perkins is actually a really good musician. I got his album ‘ash wednesday’ like almost 20 years ago and there’s some absolutely beautiful songs on there. Crazy story is of course Anthony Perkins died of aids in the early 90s, but his wife(?) mother of both Oz and Elvis, berry berenson, died in the plane that hit one of the towers on 911, which is just insane!
