modesty laws prevented showing even one lousy frame of John Waters' PINK FLAMINGOS (1972) in the trailer, so the only footage in it is of people reacting to a screening they just came out of. every single type of extant queer person is contained in the specific sequences I have selected here

if you enjoy Ghost Stories for Christmas I recommend this, produced for the Omnibus strand in 1979. While not exactly of a kind with Ghost Stories, it's an adaptation of a Le Fanu story and I enjoyed it quite a bit. Quite a beautiful atmosphere with sets and lighting based on Vermeer's paintings.

I adore this Christmas picture, which I first saw over the summer, so I wrote about it. Not just a favorite 2025 holiday film, but a favorite 2025 film. Won't be for everyone, but I love the way the director subverts, rather than avoids, most every barfly film cliché. @seattlecritics.bsky.social
