Really feeling all the Clueless love around here! I love that Caroline points out the lack of villains, which is one of my favourite things about it. When those conversations about “what movie universe would you most want to live in” come up I always think Clueless, because nothing bad really happens in its world. The…

I had to study Clueless in high school as a companion to Emma, and even endless rewatching, exams and essays couldn’t dull its magic. It’s such a sweet, kind-hearted movie despite having so many savage one-liners. 

Thanks for the tip! Definitely couldn’t emotionally handle Fred’s death at the moment :( 

She’s All That is such a weird little rom com and the impromptu perfectly choreographed dance is, as you say, amazing. Every time I watch it I’m like, there’s no way this scene is as incongruous and stupid as I remember it being, but then it is. And it’s delightful!

Is season four any good? I had to stop in s3 because I could feel my brain cells start to drip out of my nose while watching it, but a Riverdale version of the Secret History is...enticing

SO fuckin keen for Relic. One of my fav horror movies of recent times is the super underrated The Taking of Deborah Logan, and Relic looks like it’s got similar vibes. It’s still annoyingly rare that an aussie genre film is actually easily available in Australia so that’s extra exciting. 

Joss Whedon is and always has been a massive dickhead. Firing his staff for getting pregnant, creeping on his young actresses, emotionally abusing his wife and then blaming her for it. Not to mention his insufferable smug baby ass looking face. 

Hmm, it’s been a while since I read it but I think that would be less of an issue, probably because instead of a deep dive into a relationship between two people it explores the relationship/s between four people. That said, I think the real joy of Rooney’s writing is her characterisation, and adapting it to screen…

Conversations with Friends is better (imo) than Normal People so I’m stoked about this. All of the pithy dialogue and burning sexual tension with none of the uncomfy, kinda ill-conceived BDSM.

Currently reading Living with a Wild God by Barbara Ehrenreich whose mind is so sharp and relentlessly curious, even her teenage journals are stunningly well written. Also recently enjoyed If I Had Your Face, a novel about young women living in Seoul and grappling with Korea’s intense misogynistic culture of beauty,…

I always get excited thinking this is a vampire movie because of the title, and then am bitterly disappointed that such a good title for a vampire movie is wasted on a cop movie. 

Neither, partly because you could see it coming the second he was introduced, and partly because it’s almost identical to the superior Big Hero 6's emotional climax. Baymax over Bing Bong any day.

Her insistence that she actually deeply cares about the safety and wellbeing of trans women is so galling. All of this disgusting rhetoric comes from a place of utter hatred, so at least own up to it and stop pretending you care about the lives of the people you’re actively endangering by spouting this bullshit. 

My brother and I joke that the skeletons in the intro are metaphors for gay love, which is actually what the show is all about. I love Black Sails (despite its flaws)  but still I can see how one might be disappointed.

The Black Sails intro gets me so dang hype every time, even if it does promise skeleton pirates that (spoiler) the show does not deliver.

That whole episode breaks my heart, I just want to give Katara a hug by the end :( such an important episode for her arc, but it hurts so bad. Hama is a brilliant character, though it cracks me up a little that it’s Agnes Skinner’s voice. 

Totally agree! It not only gets better with every episode, it gets better with every re-watch. I’ve been nerding tf out about it for a solid sixteen months and I still read analysis that blows my mind with something I hadn’t fully considered/appreciated. Just the other day I read an amazing breakdown of how Aang and…

Hell yes. I stopped watching a couple seasons ago but Annalise Keating is a character for the ages. Viola Davis is so brilliant in that role. She did the grandstanding and ethically dubious stuff perfectly ofc, but the way she could make Annalise so desperately vulnerable beneath it was incredible; the moments immediat…

Still haven’t seen Korra. I’m not quite ready to move on to such a different story, especially one without some of my favourite characters in it. 

Weirdly I was just recently thinking about Arabelle and wondering where they were at! It’s nice to get some good quality content from the skincare cyborg, defs subscribing to the newsletter now too.
