Happy New Year! For January’s Twin Cinema Movie Club, we’ll be going over (and over and over) a couple of high-concept low-budget time loop movies 📽️ Can we outrun ourselves, or has our future always already happened? TIMECRIMES is dark & Fincher-y, BEYOND is incredibly clever & fun. Both on Kanopy!
I forgot my headphones at home. I’m paralyzed. How does anyone do anything without a constant stream of noise piped into their ears to drown out the voices in their head?

Wong Kar Wai night 7: 2046. The only one I managed to catch in theaters, at the Cedar Lee when I was in undergrad. I love when an art house filmmaker makes a foray into sci-fi, my genre fiction of choice. I think all film has something sci-fi about it, baked into the medium ❤️💜💙💚 📽️ #filmsky

Wong Kar Wai night 6: arguably the best film of the 21st century, IN THE MOOD FOR LOVE. WKW’s earlier films I rented back when that was a thing, then 2046 I saw at the Cedar Lee, then I saw this one last. Which is crazy bc it is so perfect & also everything I love about film 👀❤️💚💙 #filmsky

Wong Kar Wai night 5: HAPPY TOGETHER. Leslie Cheung is so compelling. Tony Leung is one of the best to ever do it. I remember this movie wrecked me when I was a newbie cinephile ripping though WKW’s films 💙💚 📽️ #filmsky

And there’s an “how the Irish became white” villain backstory?! Brilliant. This is how it should be done 🤌👏🙌📽️ #filmsky #sinners

Everything is perfect in our suburban neighborhood, zero problems whatsoever… oh no, a childless middle aged woman in cool vintage cardigans and a wig?!?! RUN FOR YOUR LIVES did JD Vance make this movie? 📽️ #filmsky

Finally watching Weapons and I’m so bored. I thought this would be an interesting & intelligent metaphor for the actual societal nightmare of school shootings, and you’re telling me the kooky witchy aunt is the villain? As a kooky aunt I gotta tell ya we are the least of y’all’s problems 📽️ #filmsky

I’m tired of the ‘aging women as movie monsters’ thing. Enough with the hags. Socially conscious horror is cool and all, but what social comment are you making using aging female bodies as a jump scare? Oh no she has bad makeup and no hair NIGHTMARE FUEL 🙄 it’s giving Gangee. I’m so bored 📽️#filmsky

Wong Kar Wai fest night 3, and it’s a doozy. You know when you’re young & you’re just starting to seek out weird stuff & you come across something so mystically cool that it imprints on your impressionable undeveloped brain forever as the definition of coolness? CHUNGKING EXPRESS did that to me 📽️

DEATH BY LIGHTNING 😍❤️ terrific. Late 19th century American history is so frickin interesting & overlooked. I didn’t know anything about Garfield & now I’m legit sad he died - the sign of a good history show, it made me feel something in the present about the past

As I was about to make cookies, my kitchen sink decided to clog suddenly and without warning after years of seamless disposaling. After 20 minutes of sweaty plunging, the clog has moved to my shower drain. At 9pm on Christmas Eve eve. I’m having a Clark Griswold moment

- No fuckin shit lady, do I sound like I’m ordering a pizza?

The last few weeks I’ve been regulating my emotions by cramming episodes of LOST into every available second of the day. What a great scifi show & so many episodes to feast on. Also Michael Emerson’s line deliveries are 🤌
