Last night’s watch:
Closure
Pic says “Straightheads”, apparently they changed their mind on the title? Fitting for how the movie went too tho. Def not the revenge I thought they were going for.

Movie poster for Closure that actually shows the old title Straightheads with Gillian Anderson wide-eyed and looking off screen with a gun scope in front of her that says “I can’t just walk away, I wish I could”

I made a watchlist on IMDB called “TBH She could have been meaner” where I put all the movies I watch where the character’s response seems totally fair and actually could have been even more unhinged and still been warranted. 🫶

TBH She could have been meaner

Movies where tortured women get their revenge.

Girl Gone Bad
This girl’s fight response is making me realllly hate my fawn response. And my attacker is just a text message that says “we need to talk” 🤣

Fear the Night
I love a good backwoods survivor story. Get em girls!The ending was weirdly confusing for no reason though. I guess left it open for a sequel but that’ll just have even more plot holes to fill🤷‍♀️

Would love to know why music apps are helping ICE, military, surveillance, etc?? It’s like fancy money laundering. Sick of having to change streaming every 3 months bc they’re funneling $ for violence. Idc if it’s just an ad-it’s complicity at best.

Contracted
Contracted: Phase 2
Honestly, women SHOULD be allowed to choose to be rotting, revenge-seeking zombies in retaliation for assault. These have really disgusting visuals tho be prepared lol 🤢

Daylight’s End
Surprisingly good but I just know this was the casting call:
Female MC:beyond wishy washy, basically a flip flop.
Male MC:silent & brooding x10
Setting:unhinged underground police station

I love how iPhone has the option to silence text notifications but then the person texting you has the option to notify anyway like “sorry, no? You cannot have a break?? pay attention to me.”
