One day somebody NEEDS to write a dissertation about the royalist politics of these 'fake European sovereign nation Christmas romance' movies where Americans can live out the fantasies of marrying into royalty unburdened by any meaningful politics or histories.

The best part of 12 Angry Men is Juror #8 smiling as he instigates fights between the other jurors like Noemi Malone starting a fist fight on the dance floor at a nightclub.

Look I’m not trying to sound egotistical but I just feel like if I was there during the Salem witch trials with all those girls screaming about being collectively cold, I’d be the one going “guys this is dumb.” I just really think I’d be That Bitch in the witch club.

My #1 fav romcom trope is the pathologically boundary-trampling friend who lives exclusively to force the protagonist into various dream situations and never once thinks of wearing the dress, going for the promotion or dating the senator herself.

I saw Re-Animator (85) at a theatre! I love how often someone grabs Herbert like a misbehaving cat & goes "HERBERT NO" because this man refuses to stop doing outrageous unethical science, will not apologize for his outrageous unethical science, & will not be denied his outrageous unethical science.

Third film for #CIFF: Hedda, a Sapphic adaptation of Ibsen's Hedda Gabbler that updates the play from the 19th Century to the 1950s. I felt it was a bit psychologically restrained, but the recasting of Lovborg as a woman is genius; genuinely elevating to already great material.

Second film at #CIFF: Blue Moon, about Lorenz Hart trying to keep it together on the opening night of Oklahoma! Marathon Ethan Hawke performance. A movie about the pains of collaboration & the agony of popular inoffensive art. 2 scenes made me absolutely lose it--spoilers in 🧵

She's one of those 'constantly making you hold multiple complex ideas in your head at the same time' writers, which I love.
One of the many things that I believe puts Butler's Parable books above more popular apocalyptic/post-poc fiction is that they offer the seeds of solutions/paths forward for humanity.

Seeing some films at #CIFF! First up: Kiss of the Spider-Woman. I liked the central paradox, that we can't live without fantasy but, conversely, cannot /live/ in fantasies. But I thought the in-world film they're recreating together could have better evoked the style and look of old Hollywood.
