Thoughts about the garbage-fire that is Emilia Pérez:

"And because the stalker cannot penetrate her, she must die...the film will never escape the (misunderstood) bones of the dead trans woman it builds itself upon"

y'all I can upload music to my kindle-like device that I use for academic work. PLEASE feel free to throw in some silly/fun suggestions for songs that would be funny to have ready to blast from this otherwise serious device

next ttrpg character I play needs to have a character class that absolutely does not match their job. I need a druid that's an accountant; I need a barbarian that's a therapist; I need warlock who's a line cook

As soon as you understand this is a masturbation scene where they're "definitely thinking about a girl and not each other" then you're REALLY starting to watch Challengers

It parallels the story of their first time masturbating together where they "thought about Kat Zimmerman"
