This gave me visceral flashbacks to playing the COD modern warfare campaigns at the ripe age of 10
War movies and their depictions of the places and the people get more and more complicated and muddied the more recent the war and I don’t think this is any exception— Somali’s are mere one dimensional bodies shooting and dying and ravaging, American soldiers are good and strong and civil, and maybe that’s how they saw the war and that’s what Scott…

No because HEAVY on the way the Irish and black Americans were and are oppressed in such similar ways and developed unifying culture in response and HEAVYYYY on the class betrayal of black americans by Irish Americans during the early 1900s!!!!

So fucking good!!!
really works as a slice of life with no clear purpose that explores what it means to hold on to something so long you see it die, which is such a privilege and such a burden, and I loveeee the representation of older women who are not perfect and still figuring it out!!

Also drew starkey. The mannn you are
I heavily fucked with this and the editing?? 🤩🤩🤩
This turned out to be perfect for Father’s Day
Sexual abuse is messy and weird and taboo and the idea of the perfect victim is so harmful!! This was so raw in an amazing unflinching way and I am so so so grateful
Twin peaks is so unique I’m never quite sure if it’s “good” or “bad” but instead I think it’s this third option Lynch created and owns. Quirky and dark and aesthetically pleasing and fish eyed and soap operatic, this movie was like all the dark of the show was put into a few hours with no place to breathe and god— when we find out it’s Leland in the show all I could think of was the terror Laura felt…
This movie touched a childlike spark in me!! Had me clapping and laughing and crying!! So magical on the big screen
