Haven't been here in awhile. Hi.

Movies (18/16, over half over 3* success so far!)
The Autopsy of Jane Doe: BF recommended and I couldn't remember what review concensus was so I opted in, and oh boy, this is 3/4 not good. There's a few changes at something better? Maybe?
Pauline, short film by Celine Sciamma: *shrug*?
Portrait of a Lady on Fire, rewatch: Possibly a perfect film.
Dogville, 20th anniversary print: Definitely more SA than I remembered. I still think this is doing interesting things and that is why I will forever be insufferable.
Zodiac: Holy shit I couldn't understand what anyone was saying? Seeing this in a theater with no subtitles was a mistake.
Longlegs: The marketing campaign did this no favors. I liked it, mostly?
Coma (2022): Claustrophobic and effective, but then low-key weird because a dude made it.
Cuckoo: A good time!
Strange Darling: Also a good time, mostly! I was glad to be spoiled for content.

TV Seasons (9/10)
Call the Midwife, s4: Nothing could have prepared me for the lesbians!
X-Men: The Animated Series, s1
X-Men: The Animated Series, s2: I can see how this fandom really had so little femslash, because the cartoon seems to lean in to the m/m slash to a level I was not expecting. Most of this just makes me miss X-Men: Evolution.

Album Listens (16/16)
WILLOW, empathogen
Towa Bird, American Hero: Like Blink-182 for queer women? A bit?
Hannah Cole, Big Bite (EP)
Anna Shoemaker, Everything is Fine (I'm Only on Fire)
Hannah Cole, Glisten (EP): Hannah Cole is EXCELLENT and I am really into the sound she's developing into.
Maude Latour, Sugar Water
Paris Paloma, Cacophony
