I Saw the TV Glow 2024
A while ago, and still now, I am afraid of writing. Especially short form writing, because I think my style and interests lend themselves best to nuance, re-treading, etc.
In response, Emily mentioned that nuance is not what an essay is supposed to do — an essay is like a shotgun, it’s crude, it blows the door off its subject, nuance and thinking come later.
That’s how I feel about this film, whose subtext is so textual that it’s hard…

Love Lies Bleeding 2024
Me: “Dude… I think this movie might suck.”
Elias: “Aughhh… but she was sucking her toes!”
The camera regards every woman outside of the main couple with such contempt it’s actually upsetting. Lazy writing, gags in lieu of deepening stakes or emotion.
