    The Misfits

    a film that was shot at the end of the world. 

    a meditation on death and life, dying and living.

    marilyn monroe plays the personification of human empathy who reminds her male counterparts what it means to live life fully after years of forgetting how to.

    if ‘wild horses’ by the rolling stones was a film. 

    this was the last film monroe finished before her death. eerie how this film captured monroe’s essence the most and how its screenolay was…

  • Nailed It

    Nailed It

    the tippi hedren of it all! the anjelah johnson of it all! the community of it all! 

    a woman’s sense of beauty is the most valuable commodity in the world.

    This is Mexican çîñēmå.

    Every single frame of this film can be printed and hung up in a home.

    The soundtrack. 

    The dissonance. 

    Saw the 4k restoration version (the k is for kunt).

    Harry Dean Stanton deserves all the hugs. 

    A favorite of mine, one of the best.

    I saw an interview clip with Wim Wenders and he said the color scheme for the film was red, white, and blue. Clock the colors.

    a love story that centers journalism, fashion, friendship, and the perils of mass commercial consumerism?!?!?! loved it!

    a stacked cast!!! joan cusack and john goodman as her parents!!! wendie malick!!! krysten ritter!!!!
