Mapantsula 1988
saw this last night with a q&a that had some amazingly knowledgable panelists (the moderator was leng as well) and they discussed loads of stuff that gave me a new perspective. One thing in particular though that really spoke to me was when they discussed archiving media for the modern age.
Mapantsula is a marvel, the fact that it was made in the first place is a fucking triumph within itself. It’s incredible that this film was able to be…

Mississippi Burning 1988
on the better side of the 90’s racism movies i’ve seen. it is v striking, i feel like this got the point across better than a lot of other films of its ilk, even if i still have issues with it. it’s jarring that the black people have like 10 lines of dialogue but we get the hear a whole racist diatribe multiple times. like i get it girl. maybe could’ve done without the love story lmao???
love the score, love willem dafoe, mississippi was truly burning fam

One of Them Days 2025
is it silly with a thin ass plot? yes. did i have a fucking ball? Yes!!!

THIS WAS SO FUN!! IDC!!

Queer 2024
i’m incredibly thankful to the many people that told me this was bad, weird, boring, nonsense bc it prepared me for the absolute worst. after knowing this, and hearing the source material is unreadable lmao, i expected something abstract and uncomfortable, long and unyielding in its queer(!!!!!!!!!!)ness and i got that! and i thought it was great!
the soundtrack, the costumes, the abstract dream/drug sequences, the performances by craig and manville in particular really hit for me. great tale on…
