Confession: I could never get into Mad Men no matter how hard I tried. I’d always quit partway through S1. But now that I’m much ~older~ I’m trying again (ok actually the bad remastering job HBO Max did has me intrigued oops)

Matt Baume’s video on James Whale is fantastic and I’m still stunned over learning James directed the 1936 Showboat film.

Ok I loved S2 even more. I’m a sucker for a French vampire theatre troupe, what can I say? ;)
I just finished watching Interview with the Vampire S1 and I’m obsessed with Claudia. Sorry (not sorry) to Louis and Lestat, but she is a fucking queen.

After watching The Uninvited (1944) for the first time, I’m now realizing I truly had no idea how many old movies contained queer subtext.

Changing what time I take my anti-depressants has got me feeling motivated. But also obsessive. Still need to work on that second part.

I come home from seeing Good Boy and the internet is accosting me with ‘The Rock’s gonna win an Oscar’ chatter and I will not stand for that. It’s Indy the dog or else!!

I have no idea why I decided to re-start my YouTube channel after 6 years, but it's been fun re-learning how to edit videos. Paint an autumn card along with me! youtu.be/TeYZSmVP3o0?...

I fear PT Anderson risked it all for this one but it was 100% worth it.
A ★★★★★ review of One Battle After Another (2025)
I know that “this is cinema” has become more of a joke statement these days, but this film truly is cinema and I’m so glad I watched it on a big screen. I can’t even fully put into words the emotions ...

Sometimes I wish I could rewatch Westworld S1 (without having to pay for it) and only S1 because no other season existed obviously. Too bad HBO Max are cowards and nuked its existence.

Watched All the President’s Men for the first time tonight and thinking about how Nixon said he was above the law which caused the country to turn on him but apparently now that’s okay. So crazy.

With the current state of the US it felt fitting to first-time watch this one today. I need to know how many drugs were involved in making it.

I finally watched my first Veronica Lake movie (I Married a Witch) and I had no idea she was so funny?? I’m obsessed and will now make wanting to be her my new personality.

Onto Gilded Age S3: that first episode came out swinging hard and gave me whiplash. It set up so much DRAMA! I’d love to know what Bertha considers a bad marriage when she got to marry for love yet won’t allow Gladys to. Also, I’m ready to fight Charles Fane. Nobody hurts Kelli O’Hara. 😤😤

Gilded Age Season 2: Opera Wars. I’m only a few eps in but what’s up with the heavy use of fisheye lens? I’m so confused. The rich people drama is just as frivolously high stakes as ever and I’m into it. I’m obsessed with Oscar and the fashion queen that he is.

I’ve watched The Umbrellas of Cherbourg and The Young Girls of Rochefort in the past 48 hours and Damien Chazelle has got some explaining to do.

I finally started watching The Gilded Age and I’m obsessed with both Bertha and George Russell having “Don’t fuck with me, fellas” energy.

Well, I got to sub house manage a Broadway theatre once again and while so many factors had me feeling inferior and like I was, as usual, not good enough, one random person kept thanking me and telling me I was doing a good job. So that was kind of nice.
