all movie trilogies go like this

the OG
the squeakquel
the thrillogy

i do not make the rules but you best believe i abide by them

I am absolutely game to… but you are *never* gonna get me to defend a movie that has ONE victim from its main cast and she just *happens* to be one of the queer girls? the early 2000s called, they want their bullshit trope back lolol

shameless about at least the first two Screams so I can’t blame you (3 is an iconic mess, defender of 4, too goddamn tired of Radio Silence’s Star Trek-ification of 5, and unabashed hater of 6— as far as I’m concerned w/ 7, Sidney Prescott is still helping domestic abuse survivors, not serving PSLs)

Known domestic abuser Shia LaBeouf trafficking in anti-gay stereotypes despite literally having multiple women come forward on separate occasions about his abusive behavior. I truly do not believe people are always “showing themselves” on their worst days, but this man has had multiple “worst days” and still has not bettered himself as a result of what he has put other people through.

ya know what? it’s a great day to wish FKA Twigs is having the fucking time of her life

Rachel McAdams covered in blood from the 2026 Sam Raimi movie, Send Help

bu-bu-but capitalism is endgame, no?

(the motivation struggle is real, the work is *usually* less so, never fear, you’re not alone in that hah)

whenever I get excited about this, I’m reminded…

Drop some CREATURES

cuz i felt like it?

Social media created this nonsense idea that not exposing yourself to hatred is isolationist. Choosing to not spend your free time with bigots isn’t living in a bubble. I don’t need to know what’s going on at X. I won’t be smarter or more knowledgeable or empathic by being there. Neither will you.

I'm just so fucking tired of this fucking nightmare hellscape of a society

this is the second time in as many weeks I’ve just laid on my couch, occasionally petting the dog and also the sofa, while I listen to Tom Waits on mushrooms, waiting for the dryer to finish and idk, im pretty okay w/ that being my Saturday night?

The entire millennial identity is being prepared and groomed for a version of the world that stopped existing by the time we reached it

we slammed into a horizon painted on a brick wall like fucking looney tunes

one of the things that can be challenging to describe to someone who doesn’t dabble with shrooms is the tendency for letters to float and grow and italicize in your field of vision but with the mental understanding of “oh yeah, that is absolutely one hundred percent not actually happening”

disheartening after years of trans people yelling very loudly "these are the things they're doing to us, plan to do to us, will do to us", to see so many people react to the news with talk of how this is all a distraction.

*to be clear, I don’t need a dissertation to want to fuck you, but like— gimme something to work with

** and if you think asking how someone is is too much effort? then I really don’t know what to tell you, since I already said I didn’t think it was a good fit

on one of the apps a guy kept giving me that “looking? into?” level of engagement

I said thanks for the attention but I need convo (even a “how are you?”) so it didn’t seem like a fit

the response I got was “happy to provide more intellectual stim. Just find most people aren’t worth the effort.”*

it’s also very difficult at this point to deny fascism its financial
Piece of the pie without spending most of your time just denying yourself things

its still a worthwhile endeavor, don’t get me wrong, but being successful at it is becoming almost an impossibility

I don’t say this in an “I’m better” kind of way— I went to school for media studies, it’s been painful to cut myself off from some of these cultural touchstones but the fucked up Catholic part of me is like “yeah, but did you know you can tell something is righteous if you suffer for it?”

especially w/ the Netflix/potentially paramount deal, I’m interested in how fascism takes a cultural
Hold and manufactures isolation (I gave up Netflix once they told their trans employees if they didn’t like the business platforming transphobia, they could work elsewhere) and missed a lot

I didn’t mention Fox coverage, but like— y’all’re some smart cookies, you know why I didn’t bother

friendly reminder— also make sure you’re hearing the recap from a trusted news source, there are some great independent journalists doing the hard work

(avoid CBS coverage, NBC is mostly laughable, and NBC is pretty bootlicker too)

… aren’t multiple people in this list dead?

I’ll never forget the Holocaust Museum’s shoe exhibit as a painful physical reminder of the murder of millions, but genuine question, what tactile representation are we going to conjure up for what is happening in this country’s detention centers aka modern concentration camps?

We're all sending the same $100 among each other as the rich get unimaginably richer by the hour.

Dennis Quaid eating shrimp in The Substance is a close second to grossest thing hes ever done— the first being the Trump bootlicking, of course

this is why I still believe in physical media

show me the Liz & Dick special features, u cowards

since Kristen Bell and Dax Shepard like to over share, it only feels fair to over share about them— if we coulda left both of them back in, like, 2009… I’d be cool with that*

*still love The Good Place, but between Bell and Jamil, that feels like a truly cursed set

Guest curator: Oprah Winfrey bullying a still-drunk Lindsay Lohan about her tabloid fodder behavior

Lindsay Lohan as Elizabeth Taylor in the Lifetime movie, Liz & Dick, about the tumultuous romance between Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton, the OG toxic Hollywood power couple

tbh, still waiting on the Criterion Collection release of this one
