It’s so funny bc Pose is probably the most positive impact he’s ever had with an actually great show, and he still managed to fuck it up by underpaying them, and now has turned around to become WORSE as a creative.

Because of my glasses I’ve been compared to Velma a lot but honestly I want to be more of a Daphne. I mean I’m kinda tall, long legs, I seek to slay.

To be fair I feel like Y Tu Mama Tambien at least has a lot of positive sexuality, Irreversible has the 7 minute uncut tape scene, so…at least Y Tu you could spin as “hey being sexually active later is safe and fun”, Irreversible you’d just be like “oh yeah no the worlds fucked sorry kid”

Pretty good, I think it has the potential to grow on me. It does have probably the best gag of the year in Stellan Skarsgard gifting his 7 y/o grandson DVDs of The Piano Teacher and Irreversible, saying on the former “it’ll teach you a lot about women.”

Want to give all my support to a @masspeaceaction.bsky.social rally I saw in Harvard Square to stop our government from continuing to help bomb innocent civilians. Free Palestine, write your representative!

The final 20 or so minutes of this movie is the third act of the year so far. It does drag slightly in the middle, but one of Panahi’s best. 8/10

‪GEE ITS ALMOST LIKE I ALWAYS HAD THIS INTENSE ANXIETY OF MY BODY TURNING INTO SOMETHING I DIDNT WANT, IMPLYING MAYBE I ALREADY WAS NOT HAPPY WITH MY LOOK AND PRESENTATION AND WAS HORRIFIED BY THE IDEA OF IT FEELING WORSE HMMMMMM‬

‪I mean when I found out tattoos were permanent and done with a needle as a 5 year old and that sometimes people regret them, I couldn’t look at a tattoo normally for years because I’d just think about me getting one and regretting it like a nightmare.‬

Like I remember when people started getting those split tongue things done and I was like power to them but the idea of anyone touching my tongue for modification makes me want to pass out. I’ve gotten more used to it but even still I can’t think of it on me.

Sometimes being queer online I’ll get that overlap into more freaky fits, and I’ll be interested until I see one thing that crosses a line of comfort with how I’d be with my body and shiver and go “OH RIGHT, I’M ACTUALLY A TOTAL PUSSY, COMPLETE FUCKING PREP”

‪This genuinely was how I felt back then, this is genuinely how it took hold of me, and I made with the idea of “people who won’t listen were never gonna listen anyway, just be honest and reasonable people will feel and understand.” That is art to me, I want people to understand and feel.

I just wanted to accurately represent that emotional state when after years of “don’t worry, you’ll grow into it” you start to realize it’s only getting worse and you’re more alienated from everyone as always, that every second has become pain.
