  Borderline 2025

  Watched 21 Mar 2025

  similar manners to companion which i find hard to place. quick, sharp concepts with the least seamless executions possible in construction and their references. embodies the feeling of being trapped in conversation with a guy who hasn't realised you're not on the same wavelength. i don't know. the climax of this is 'isnt it funny that a man is wearing a dress?' not in a vicious way either. just confounding. i don't understand your jokes jimmy warden. and the dress is just so anachronistic.

  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👍
