Sounds like someone has bought into the one-electron hypothesis and is very sad about it.

She's Gotta Have It (1986)
★★★★★
Watched: Nov 18, 2025
A great film about polyamory and women's sexual agency with a hell of a fake out ending. Lee's direction allows Nola to be sexual and erotic without being hypersexualized.

Frankenstein (1931)
★★
Watched: Nov 18, 2025
Changing the character from a sympathetic creation to a murderous beast really diminishes the heart of the story. The prosthetics are great and Karloff does what he can to bring some pathos to the monster, but it's not enough to overcome the script.

The Man Who Laughs (1928)
★★½
Watched: Nov 17, 2025
The prosthesis that Veidt wears is pretty cool. The beginning and climax go hard, but in between felt very dragged out. It's nice to see a climax centered around class solidarity saying fuck the cops.

Triangle of Sadness (2022)
★★½
Watched: Nov 17, 2025
Wanted to like this more than I actually did. The premise could have benefited from being a show rather than a movie, as the pacing felt off. Some great moments such as between the captain and the shit seller; or the grenade manufacturer. 1/

My cat's name is * which is a wildcard indicating every possible name, so technically anything I call him is the longform version of his name.

Run Lola Run (1998)
★★★★
Watched: Nov 16, 2025
I'm a sucker for a novel film structure and this one has that in spades. It's an interesting meditation on causality and the impacts (good and bad) we have on the people in our lives, intentionally or otherwise.

Lawrence of Arabia (1962)
★★★½
Watched: Nov 16, 2025
Epic in scale, and an impressive achievement in cinematography. Sadly, I felt like often I was missing some context the film assumed I had going in. O'Toole's gives an inscrutable performance, leaving me guessing at his motivations.

Eighth Grade (2018)
★★★★

A great performance from Elsie Fisher and versimiltudinous directing by Bo Burnham remind us that being a teenager sucks across all generations. Explores the harms of social media without becoming a moral panic. Banger soundtrack.

Goldfinger (1954)
★
Watched: Nov 13, 2025
Gert Fröbe gives a really fun performance as the titular villain, but the shot-to-shot editing is confusing and the sexism is off-the-charts. This isn't a Bond movie so much as a movie Bond is present for where he does nothing except cheeky hijinks and rape.

I think the two can go hand in hand. When you have that elevated status, you don't have to ponder "will this make sense to another person who has to read it" because it requires you put yourself in the headspace of someone Below You™©® and why would you have empathy for such a person?

A while back I was discussing this style of writing with a friend of mine who's a physics prof and she has a colleague who writes emails like this. I think it's a fundamentally fascist style of writing that is incapable of empathy and universalizes the writer's experiences as objective facts.
![Email from my friend's colleague, with annotations added by myself in red:
Check out these sessions?!?! [not a question excessive punctuation] As we were talking about earlier in the week! [sentence fragment]
"safety [quote should begin capitalized] in the field can change based on an individual's identity and experiences. This training will teach participants how to analyze safety through an intersectional framework to better prepare and support ourselves and our colleagues. " -Does [why is there a dash here?] this cover fixed wing aircraft that will crash due to low infrastructure maintenance? [relevance? this is not a panel about infrastructure mainteinance funding] As the plane goes down, we can be respectful of the tearful sobs and screams [off-topic] in the cabin!!!! [Thesis is unclear, are you saying that disrespecting plane crash victims mid-crash would improve airplane infrastructure maintenance?]
If GEM or CEDAR came to *me* with such requests during the workshop??? [sentence fragment, also it is unclear what request is being referenced; excessive punctuation, also this is not a question] My Lord...](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:pr2erg6oq2dunzssmbyzoklg/bafkreig2lc3iygaesp6cj6dwtf5remr7jpt7umpxxycnvjq26usqcpvvzy@jpeg)
![Screenshot of a discord conversation:
me: he writes like a fascist
me: i'm not saying he is a fascist, i don't know him
me: but he writes with an audence[sic] that he assumes agrees with him such that he can gesture towards something without providing any argument against it and assumes that the emotions he's feeling, and failing to articulate, will translate to any rational reader who must clearly think (feel) the same way because his feelings are objective facts
friend: I am impressed you got that out of his message, and you are way more right than you might think
me: it's the equivalent of when James Lindsay "refutes" CRT by saying it's a Marxist ideology with no further elaboration on whether or not that's true let alone why it's a problem
friend: He says A LOT of fucked up things as if we all agree with him, and it has made my life really tense](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:pr2erg6oq2dunzssmbyzoklg/bafkreicooij6bc7o35hrjkjrsqt3wuvbocts6oo4q3noxlwiziu37pzcpa@jpeg)

Fast-paced conversation full of some very interesting, yet unresolved, ideas. The novel structure runs the risk of being dull and losing the audience's attention, but the compelling and charming performances keep that from happening.
