  Blue Velvet 1986

  ★★★★★ Rewatched 18 Mar 2025

  the more david lynch i watch the more it’s funny how this film has a real ending. but i don’t think how neatly (by lynch standards) it wraps up makes it any less idiosyncratic or unsettling. the kind of movie that sucks you into its world so fully you feel like you need to readjust to your own after. also goes without saying that kyle and laura together are as cute as a button

  But I'm a Cheerleader 1999

  ★★★★½ Rewatched 15 Mar 2025

  this was much much funnier as an adult than as a teenager and also crucially less painful because i’m fully out of religious homophobia and living my best gay life :-) you can tell this film is a real labor of love made by gays for gays and i think straight critics in the late nineties panned it because it wasn’t for them. it bothered me my first viewing how over-the-top this movie is but now i think it’s (almost) exactly over-the-top enough.

  I Saw the TV Glow 2024

  ★★★★½ Watched 28 May 2024

  seeing phoebe bridgers performing as herself kind of pulled me out of it for a minute there but otherwise. fuck. so gorgeous and emotionally powerful and that ending was so bleak and not at all what i expected but the most impactful and fitting ending i can think of for this… i literally drove home in a daze. i will be thinking about this one for a long long time
