Anora, 2024 - ★★★★

Best comedy of the year.

Well, fuck that 🇺🇸

I’ve been collecting myself since the election. This blog isn’t going to turn into a negative spiral, or focus on just politics. I’m still going to post the same silly stuff, but I am processing this, and I will be speaking out.

It’s devastating. The election results aren’t a shock, but they’re gut wrenching. Not because he’s changed, we know who he is, but because we knowingly chose him. Again.

I’m sad and angry and scared. People love a little fascist flirt.

Well, fuck that.

Make no mistake, the man will try to seize our democracy. And when your life isn’t immediately wrecked, maybe you’ll let his hate mongering and naked power grabs slide. That’s what they want.

Well, fuck that.

You don’t know what you have until it’s gone. Look at opinion polls on abortion before and after Roe was overturned. That’s just the beginning. Project 2025 is a promise.

Well, fuck that.

If you think he can’t get away with it, if you think it can’t happen here, if you think it won’t effect you, if you think all these warnings are a bit dramatic, and maybe it’ll be bad, but fine, really, in the end, some good will come of it too, I’m sure, if you think a strongman will solve your problems, then you haven’t been paying attention.

Well, fuck that.

He can get away with it, and it can happen here. The thing that can make it less dramatic is you. And me. Us. We still have a democracy, or some semblance of one. It takes we the people to keep it.

What fascists want is to keep folks ignorant and scared and alienated. That keeps them in power and their pockets lined, at all of our expense.

Well, fuck that.

Get involved in your local community, support your loved ones, volunteer, teach, make art, get out of the house and be with the teaming masses. Humanity is messy and flawed and you will be disappointed and exasperated.

Good.

You’ll also be inspired and filled up. Connection with each other is ultimately all we have. Keep your joy. Fascists want to steal that shit.

Well, fuck that.

Video Diary of a Lost Girl, 2012 - ★★★★

This movie is sex with a ghost.

Kiki's Delivery Service, 1989 - ★★★★★

Perfect.

Pretty evil, and Robin Williams should be in jail, but he falls down funny a few times.

Hat an astonishing film.

I Saw the TV Glow, 2024 - ★★★★

A remarkable neon tone poem on sadness.

Terrifier 2, 2022 - ★★★

Somehow, after the first Terrifier was at best fine and at worst politically gross, this movie rules. Gone is the gender stupidity, in is the whimsy, the dreams, the characters you care about. In short, it's a real movie. And gross, but in a good way.

Terrifier, 2016 - ★½

This is a pretty rote slasher, without much of the whimsy and humor Art the Clown would later grow. It's also incredibly misogenistic and transphobic, thanks to a few of the more elaborate kills near the end. Really inessential.

All Hallows' Eve, 2013 - ★

This sucked, and I understand how these movies got a reputation for misogyny now. Glad Damien got better. A few good scenes but mostly pretty lame.

Saturday Night, 2024 - ★★★

One time, the seventies threw up a TV show.
