  a fun watch but obnoxiously heavy handed. I loved the Creepers and wish they had more screen time. I also really enjoyed Pattinson’s performance. but yeah, the writing. In moments when Ruffalo wasn’t onscreen and I forget the red hat of it all, I thought it was building to an interesting critique of techno primitivism (a la Musk’s brood and trad wife influencers), but no, just Ruffalo mimicking Trump’s exact cadence. top it off with Nasha’s moral stating monologue.

  Princess Cyd 2017

  ★★★★★ Watched 14 Mar 2025

  shockingly easy and natural! Cyd and Miranda learn each other and push each other’s buttons immediately. 
  even as new elements come up we know that Miranda and Cyd are at center
  lives of the body vs lives of the mind
  it vacillates between tenderness and discomfort 
  Miranda’s speech about fulfillment was brilliant
  most accurate first wlw experience in that it ends with a trauma dump
  everyone means well and learns their lesson
  i want to become Miranda
  damn i loved this. sweet and thoughtful with a great soundtrack

  After Hours 1985

  takes shagginess to the level of high art. a wonderful New York movie. i love how much of it is almost in real time. so we fall for Marcy as Paul does, and experience his dread and shock along the journey. every minor character is some wonderful cult classic character actor. the most fun possible movie.
