  Queer 2024

  ★★★★★ Watched 14 Dec 2024 2

  “I’m not queer. I’m disembodied.”
  
  It’s been 24 hours, give or take, since I left the theatre after seeing Queer. Still I’m struggling to compose my thoughts into a state of coherence. Even now, as I’m writing this, I hesitate.

  Blade Runner 1982

  ★★★★★ Rewatched 25 Jun 2023

  I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. I watched C-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhäuser Gate. All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain. Time to die.

  41 years ago on this day, Ridley Scott's 'Blade Runner' made it's theatrical debut, entering our consciousness and forever changing the way we think about science fiction. To mark the occasion, I took the liberty of revisiting Scott's…
