Update: thought about the final shot in the shower earlier and started crying.
Missed If I Had Legs, I’d Kick You at IFFBoston (skipped because I was super burnt out that week). My boyfriend called me after seeing it saying I shouldn’t watch it by myself, or at least wait until I could watch it at home, like he was terrified of leaving me with a sharp object.

He was right.

Please don’t be upset that we don’t think this is the greatest movie ever made, but I’ll be playing mediator (i.e. going back to the old me).
Next week, watch it and have fun before Film Twitter tells you it’s overrated, targets your location, and sends a SWAT team to your house for believing in the power of radical optimism and small business ownership.

EVERYTHING EVERYWHERE ALL AT ONCE

Making good on my promise to David Lynch up in heaven to not let Dune be the only movie of his we do on the pod.
Meow, meow, it’s a new edition of Nicole on Cole (Netscape) on David Lynch’s Lost Highway, a cursed object of a film about a guy who’s so misogynistic he gives himself a splitting headache. www.patreon.com/posts/144016...

Four more this morning and I have no idea what they’re getting out of me, a staunch Marxist feminist, specifically.
What’s with all the quasi-spam boomer lib accounts on here mass following and replying to literally everyone? I’ve had to block half a dozen this week.

I am claiming a neutral-positive position on EEAAO ahead of next week’s episode. Hsu and her amazing outfits were robbed.

I went plot point by plot point on Lost Highway for the upcoming episode and it truly is an easy to understand film when you break it down to its essential components, just like Inland Empire.
Prepare for a long episode, Nicole (predictably) had a lot to say about Lynch and what Lost Highway specifically says about misogyny and how men excuse and live with the violence they do to women through displacement, dissociation, and compartmentalization.

“I’m just an innocent little baby lamb who did nothing wrong! Is it a CRIME for a woman to have a job talking to and making money off of platforming white nationalist booger eaters?”

Out of all the anti-trans talking points I've encountered "transing the gay away" is easily the dumbest. Anyone who believes this could be tricked into giving themselves an epi-pen injection
Do these people have any other talking points than "Muslim=bad"?

They're doing the "transing the gay away" conspiracy theory with an Islamophobic twist.

So all that OBAA discourse on Twitter was over a (valid) point questioning the effectiveness of painting fascists in a comedic light at a moment when fascism is disappearing and brutalizing people with impunity, and somehow it got twisted into “you’re laughing at all the wrong things”?

Egg Fu made me see the Event Horizon.

Mine was when the girl’s screaming woke someone in the audience up. How he managed to doze off when the speaker was death rattling the entire time is impressive really. Hope he also got his money back and not just a free pass as consultation for AMC Boston Common having a BROKEN DOLBY SPEAKER.
My favorite moment at my screening for Angel's Egg was at the start when a guy in my row went "Yellow subtitles fuck yeah!" 😂
