Diane Keaton was so good on THE YOUNG POPE that I still regularly think of her standing in the bamboo grove beside Silvio Orlando, or her sudden terror in running from him when he professes his love. Rest in peace to one of the greats.

I endorse this with my whole heart and I also think, at least for this one weekend, we can all agree that Love & Death and Interiors (and, sure, Annie Hall) are Diane Keaton movies and you can watch them bc what’s brilliant about those movies, which is a lot, is overwhelmingly bc of her

THAT director aside, Diane Keaton’s performance in Annie Hall opened spaces for women in film: what romantic leads could look like, dress like, sound like; that there could be a place for an oddball who wasn’t a screwball. That’s all her - Keaton was such a brilliant actress and icon, truly

Jesus. Diane Keaton. RIP to a legend who managed to carve out a lifelong career in an industry that frequently robs women like her of dignity and status once they hit 40.

Diane just threw on a turtleneck and said "fuck you, I'm still going."

Rest in peace to the great Diane Keaton, fearless and unique, a dream actress indeed. 📷 Norman Seeff, Los Angeles, 1975

Black and white shot of Diane Keaton in a tank top with her hands behind her head. I like this photo for its simplicity; you can feel her personality.

They just released stuff from The Vampire Lestat and it's giving Velvet Goldmine and I loooooooooooooooove it.

Madeline is very much the bravest character in the season to date. "Claudia is my immortal companion. My coven is Claudia." WOW.

One, have you seen the new Interview with the Vampire series footage yet?

Two, and because I'm greedy, I'll ask a two-parter: Character in the series you like the best and character who is most like you.

It's like, let's take everything really mysterious and cool about the character and just absolutely flatten it. Charlize Theron was right there and apparently game.

The 9th begins another round of bills, most especially my phone. I probably should've posted this on Friday, as to it cut or so close but posting these is not only such an interruption to my normal function on here, and I have to gear up to doing it each time...

I know we differ on Fury Road, but I feel vindicated in my own way for my hatred of Furiosa. I remember feeling like the only film lover I knew who just thought it was bad.

Also, rhetoric like this only enforces the idea that the left are a bunch of elitist scolds.

Not that it matters, but I probably exercise more than some of the people making these jokes and I am still fat, in no small part because I have lipedema.

Gretchen Felker-Martin 🍉 @scumbelievable.bsky.social · 4d

Eight thousand iterations of this discourse later, there is no political utility in calling fascists fat. All you're doing is propping up the brutal hierarchy which lets people like them work up from deniable social torture to state violence.

89 years ago today Mosley attempted to march his blackshirts through the East End of London. The Jewish press counselled calm. East End Jews - backed primarily by Irish & Communists - beat them back with fists, pipes, clubs. Old women poured hot water on them from above.

I shall never forgive her for invoking the name of Elizabeth Taylor, who was anything but sauceless.

Gretchen Felker-Martin 🍉 @scumbelievable.bsky.social · 7d

Being passionate about Taylor Swift is like being passionate about Bed, Bath & Beyond. There's nothing there. Just marketing and brand identity and hollow, acquisitive greed.

"Humans are products to be bought, eaten alive, and discarded in an antisocial libidinal frenzy of self-loathing, insatiable emotional need, and if they refuse to behave that way, we'll make fake people" is the only thing any of these freaks believe

I'm sorry: "if I wish to see a virgin on-screen"?

My Favorite Actress Is Not Human
Tilly Norwood doesn’t need a hairstylist, has no regrettable posts, and if you wish to see a virgin on-screen, this is one of your better chances. That’s because she’s AI.

As a perimenopasual woman with brain fog, I feel so seen by Leo DiCaprio not knowing the passwords and getting angry about it in One Battle After Another.
