Y’all gotta hop on the Senritsu Kaiki series, particularly if you’re into found footage/mockumentary horror. Shiraishi does stuff with the format I’ve never seen before. This series is a part of my personality now

What a week 😵‍💫 I watched Gamera immediately after watching Color of Pomegranates last night, and that’s a double feature I think my brain is still recovering from.

Well, it looks like I know what I’m watching after work.
The Letterboxd rating curve for the newly released War of the Worlds movie. The curve skews heavily toward the lowest rating of half a star.

Aa a trans person, it’s important for me to participate in online trans communities so I can stay informed on developments in medical research.
A Reddit post that reads “If you inject estrogen and then put a leech on the injection site can you feminize it? Possible Trigger Edit: you people are way too curious about why I need to know this. that is none of your concern Edit 2: stop making assumptions about my motives. You people always want to know everything, which is ridiculous and frankly naive behavior.”

What’s the easiest 5/5 stars you’ve ever given a movie?

Went into All That Heaven Allows (1955) thinking I’d be rolling my eyes at the melodrama and how straight it was, came out of it a less cynical person. It’s like it healed something in me.

An underappreciated moment in the Final Destination series is in the 4th one when you can tell an extremely stupid death is about to happen because this guy is standing in front of a fence that is entirely unlike any fence that has ever existed in all of human history.
The fence is hexagonal like a chain link fence, but rigid like it’s a grid of really thin metal slats welded together The fence is hexagonal like a chain link fence, but rigid like it’s a grid of really thin metal slats welded together. A better view, you can see these slats are like two inches wide

Currently obsessed with this guy who takes Lego sets and comes up with ways to build them into the Millennium Falcon instead of their intended design

Queen Gohma? MORE LIKE QUEEN GONE-A
King Dodongo? MORE LIKE KING DEADDEADGO
Barinade? MORE LIKE BARINOPE
Phantom Ganon? MORE LIKE RESTING IN PEACE GANON

Really loving this game! Honestly might become a new favorite. Can’t wait to see what the rest of the game and series has in store!

Holy hell that Rehearsal finale. Wow wow wow. I couldn’t believe what I was watching. Absolutely incredible television.

Lately I keep getting frustrated that despite reading and loving House of Leaves, I read it long enough ago I don’t remember much, and I can’t participate in conversations. Starting tonight, I’m going back.
The final paragraph of the introduction to House of Leaves, which reads: “Then no matter where you are, in a crowded restaurant or on some desolate street or even in the comforts of your own home, you'll watch yourself dismantle every assurance you ever lived by. You'll stand aside as a great complexity intrudes, tearing apart, piece by piece, all of your carefully conceived denials, whether deliberate or unconscious. And then for better or worse you'll turn, unable to resist, though try to resist you still will, fighting with everything you've got not to face the thing you most dread, what is now, what will be, what has always come before, the creature you truly are, the creature we all are, buried in the nameless black of a name. And then the nightmares will begin. — Johnny Truant October 31, 1998 Hollywood, CA”

In an effort to watch more bangers, I’ve been watching stuff off the Sight and Sound ‘22 list I haven’t seen yet, and that’s been really rewarding!

Randomly remembered and revisited this tumblr post, and let’s just say I’m having a different experience reading it now vs. when I first read it however long ago.

Today is 7 months of HRT btw 🥳
Two tumblr posts. The first: “My deepest darkest fantasy is that I collapse on the street and I am rushed to the hospital.They perform a bunch of tests and find out I am severely deficient in some kind of vitamin. Then I start taking the vitamin and I become the happiest cleverest person alive because all my problems were caused by this one deficiency.” Second: “Moreover, everyone gathers around to be tremulously compassionate and discreetly admiring, all this time, you lacked the Vitamin? And yet you persevered?”

Blue Prince has rotted my brain because I saw this earlier today while hanging out with a friend and my instinctual response was “I HAVE TO WRITE THIS DOWN. IT MUST MEAN SOMETHING”
A message board for showing which apartments have packages waiting for them, using a system that results in a seemingly random distribution of letters. It’s reminiscent of a puzzle or a clue for a puzzle you might find in Blue Prince.

Me a few months ago: “once the weather is nicer, I’m really going to get out there and enjoy life!”
Me now that the weather is nicer:

This rating curve for Sinners is WILD. Maybe the most positive curve I’ve seen for a current release in all my time on Letterboxd.
A bar chart showing the proportion of ratings, going from half a star to five stars. Five stars is the highest rating, and the chart drops off below four stars, with barely any ratings at all below 3 stars.

It’s my first #TransDayofVisibility, only coming out to people and starting transition five months ago. I’ve got quite a road ahead of me, and I wish I started sooner than 35, but honestly I didn’t know I could be this happy. Really looking forward to what’s next!
Just a selfie. I’m GAWJUS.
