long live tacky extravagance, performative excess, artless luxury, and all forms of opulence for its own sake! long live bad taste!

Sucker Punch 2011
sucker punch... or as i like to call it, zack snyder's "showgirls". i fucking love this weirdo movie, and snyder rules for exploring his own gaze with it. neither showgirls nor sucker punch seeks to embody a woman’s voice, or tell a woman’s story, but rather they serve as subversive audits of the symptoms of patriarchy. i think that there are obvious surface level readings about the ways women are objectified, and the struggle for autonomy in a male dominated…

Peep "TV" Show 2004
- looks like something off the tv
- they’re doing what they’ve seen on tvvery tight very cool homebrewed picture that feels a lot more recent than it really is. it’s become redundant to say that the internet has made apathetic voyeurs of us all, but to posit this disposition against the backdrop of 9/11 is to really drive the point home. this film feels especially apt in the midst of the massacres in gaza - it is a…

Synecdoche, New York 2008
synecdoche, new york is a love letter to the mentally ill, the chronic worriers, and anyone who has ever thought about death. all of those people are me, and this is my love letter to synecdoche, new york. i am doing Bad right now. for no particular rhyme or reason, i am just doing Bad, and i knew that this staggering colossus of a film may help me to sort through some of the thoughts that are uncomfortable to sit with.…
