posting on here briefly for anyone who didnβt see it on the other place - I directed my first short film! itβs not available yet publicly, but it is the thing Iβve worked hardest on in my life and Iβm so proud of it. very grateful to finally be able to call myself a filmmaker

feels a little empty but the vibes are nice and I feel more comfortable just talking about whatever Iβm interested in, instead of being worried about how itβll be perceived by strangers

started rewatching True Detective Season 1. you might think that itβs lost some of its appeal to me, now that Iβm no longer a teenager and have seen dozens of narratives about tortured detectives. but itβs still electrifying television, fronted by one of the very best performances in the medium

feel less self-conscious posting about whatever nonsense is on my mind over here. too many people on Twitter follow me, and it feels a bit weird talking about Football Manager or puro or how I make my favourite pasta dish

canβt sleep so rewatching Showing Up. captures all the distractions and tedium that keep artists from working on their art very very succinctly. however, if I was going without hot water for two weeks because of my lazy fucking landlord like Michelle Williams does here, Iβd simply commit murder

update from a month ago on my Football Manager experiment, playing without full-backs or wing-backs is suicidal, many goals were conceded. however, playing with just one centre-back, two full-backs and a shit-ton of attackers has got me to a Champions League final so Iβd recommend giving that a spin

a solid contender for the greatest right-wing film ever. politics are abhorrent whenever you even begin to think about them, but itβs such a masterpiece

having a real rough time on Twitter at the moment, so think Iβm going to try and use this more regularly. just canβt deal with the constant negativity over there, and I feel myself becoming more negative in the process (not just because of Twitter but itβs not helping)

Lord of the Rings is still one of those mythical trilogies that makes you believe that all big-budget adaptations could be as well-crafted, emotional and rewatchable. even with Jacksonβs disastrous Hobbit trilogy following it, I still feel a sense of true hope for blockbusters while watching them

drew 1-1. trying to figure out a system without using full-backs because my full back options in this save arenβt working out the way I want, and I have plenty of centre-backs and midfielders that Iβd like to get more playing time. letβs see how this goes throughout the season

feel like Iβll get used to this place when (if?) DMs become a thing. really just wanna have conversations that arenβt public with my friends, and social media can sometimes be easier for doing that than texting or WhatsApp. main thing keeping me on Twitter is DM conversations and group chats

adored Past Lives. think thereβs a big disconnect between me and people that find this utterly heartbreaking though. I find it so moving that people are capable of having those connections that donβt last their whole lives, not defeating or devastating. makes me think of my own kinds

keep not being able to make showtimes of Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny. busted my ankle up while walking to Gillianβs work, and couldnβt deal with being out long enough to see the movie today. hopefully tomorrow, weβll be able to go and Iβll get to have a very good and correct opinion on it

one of the great things about seeing A Matter of Life and Death is realising just how much art was inspired by it, how many works of brilliance it helped create through its sheer majesty and imagination. canβt imagine that something like Angels in America would have existed without it

Gillian once accidentally booted me in the balls and then after the few minutes of desperately and lovingly consoling me, she then said that Iβd never survive period pain. I was not very happy with her that day lmao
