The Wicked duology is a film adaptation of a musical, which was an adaptation of a book, which was fanfiction of a movie, which was an adaptation of a book. Pretty wild when you actually write it all out.

#77 in the Criterion Collection is And God Created Woman, the 1956 French version, not the 1988 English version by the same director that is completely unrelated in every way...that's just weird. Anyway, it's good, check it out! youtu.be/6z6_E6-r8hY

#75 in the Criterion Collection is a surprise to me, it's Chasing Amy. I suppose out of the View Askewneverse, it is the movie with something to say. But how does it hold up? No really, I need people in the LGBTQIA+ community to tell me how it holds up. youtu.be/cNs6ez9esxk

I had a momentary mind blank, as happens when you get older, and I couldn't remember the name of the actor who played Tyler Durden (it's Brad Pitt), so I googled Who Played Tyler Durden, and google says "Edward Norton" and you know what? That's the most accurate possible result.
