  The Holy Girl 2004

  Watched 08 Mar 2025

  a tight picture of the tangle when your first brushes with sexuality are violations. it's relatively common experience and ime so perturbing because i hadn't understood myself as something sexual before. suddenly your sexuality is marked by the fatal sense that you are less a participant than something things can be done too. martel captures this conflict in amalia's sexual awakening with asymmetric compositions, overlapping figures, shallow focus. there are two scenes were amalia is able to mirror the position…

  Anora 2024

  Watched 04 Mar 2025

  i feel so stupid and lacking in conviction as of late... just found the whole tenor and pace of this weird and somewhat unpleasant... strong "?" movie... i miss having strong opinions... i want to feel passion... most of all i pray every night that someone will seed rosa la rose public girl and take me past the 480p palisades but it will never happen...

  The Terminator 1984

  ★★★★ Watched 13 Jun 2023 2

  it's such a fun premise and seeing the terminator terminate about the place is wonderful—i love the deterioration of his body and his silly little outfits—but i dislike how much of it hinges on protecting sarah's future pregnancy. a lot of that is owed to my own aversion to pregnancy, but i also find the relationship between sarah and kyle too awkward to quell that distaste. it's a shame because that core of humanity feels very necessary and potentially sweet but it doesn't land for me. also cool penis👍
