They also think it’s complete and utter bullshit that Boston is dark by 4:30 pm. Unlike other tour stops though they had nothing but love for this city (Jay went to Berklee for a couple years and reminisced about being in town when the Sox won in ‘04).

Movie is one of the funniest things I have ever had the pleasure of seeing with an audience, second only to a delightful Q&A. Matt and Jay have the rapport of a married couple still deeply in love after thirty years of marriage.

Annapurna has proven the worth of her movie with every packed/sold out screening and by picking up awards at each festival the film screens at. There is an audience hungry for this film. Very loud and constant word of mouth is the only route at this point.

We all praise the sanctity and value of queer, female, and PoC filmmakers until it’s time for distributors to put their money where their mouths are!

I’ve texted her frequently about any updates on offers and each time it’s another shitty excuse about how theatrical runs aren’t profitable (she sells out every festival screening) or getting totally lowballed by companies thinking she’ll take a bad deal.

I will be dedicating my entire Best of the Year capsule on Fucktoys to how fucking criminal it is that Annapurna Sriram’s stunning queer masterpiece of a debut still hasn’t gotten a distribution deal.

CORRECTION: people care, but pointing out or raising concern that these women are getting rail thin is dismissed as rude comments, sensationalist rumors, or woke body shaming.

Not like the Wizard of Oz respected the sanctity of a teenage girl’s body whatsoever but it is genuinely shocking to me that Cynthia and Ariana seem to be shrinking to skeletal frames and nobody seems to care? Not even their stan armies?

Daffy could fuck Mickey up.

I’m watching the four hour Defunctland if you can’t tell.
