  Happy Together 1997

  ★★★★½ Watched 12 Jul 2023

  push and pull, give and take, comforter and comforted, breaking and healing reenacted over and over and over again. erratic and abrupt cuts show a movie less interested in its timeline than its timing.

  hollowed out and dirty buildings are occupied by lonely husks of people, but they also afford some respite from the freezing outdoors. discordant relationships still have moments of harmony. queerness is not defined by suffering.

  what does it mean to be a traveler and come home changed? how do we open our hearts to Life without being lost in the deluge of the human experience?

  Fallen Angels 1995

  ★★★★★ Rewatched 13 Dec 2023

  Satan Wants You 2023

  Watched 28 Apr 2023 2

  so flustered and flabbergasted at what this really is saying other than creating more content for the content machine. why did you have a podcaster as a source? why did you uncritically present the view of a guy who worked at the FBI in the 80's without talking about what the FBI was up to in the 80's? why do we not deep dive into why the satanic panic was a convenient crisis for evangelicals and Catholics and how this…
