Were you and your friend both secretly sea monsters as well? Did one of you get extremely jealous when a girl befriended one of you?

Luca’s journey was one of gaining confidence. He starts off a nervous wreck who dreams of things he doesn’t do and ends the movie brave enough to be who he is and live the life he wants. That was his journey.

It makes it weird that the director of Luca has been so clear it's not a queer allegory. I understand the director based the movie on his own platonic friendship, but him leaving it open for people to interpret how they want would have been fine. There is plently to suggest a queer reading, as well as just them being…

They’re not brothers or related in any way. They're fellow sea monsters hanging out in a strange new world in disguise. People aren't remotely shipping them at all. Just seeing a possible queer angle story on a movie that is wonderfully and seemingly intentional up for individual interpretation. 

No one is sexualizing anyone. The movie is about a 13 year old boy realizing he doesn't fit in with his family and doesn't fit in with other people and worries that his true self will get him killed, and as a result forms a connection with a like minded friend. It's easy to read a queer angle to that without wanting…

This kind of thing reminds me of how brilliantly funny and absurd it was when The Babadook movie was half-ironically adopted as a gay icon, and the director just laughed it off and supported that reading despite not being intended.

I hadn't seen this before, but Mark Hamill really is a treasure on every level. 

The old lady moment was great just as the gag that there are more sea monsters hanging out peacefully, as well as that possible subtext connection.

As someone who really enjoyed Luca for the gentle and fun little movie it was, it was upsetting that so many reviews, including this site, have written it off as being a lightweight movie. It’s certainly not a big movie, but possible queer reading or not, there was a lot of brilliantly emotional text there for such a…

The old lady thing was a huge hint to the subtext. As was how Alberto forms an immediate distrust to the girl character, and shows all the signs of someone jealous that his friend and possible crush isn’t exclusively his.

It started with Fargo season 2. That was how she got the back to back role in Legion. Noah Hawley mentioned Legion and Smart immediately agreed sight unseen to Legion because of how damn great their work in Fargo season 2 was. 

I must admit, I really enjoyed Luca. The simplicity of it, with the magnificent lead performances really made it work for me. It was a very simple movie, but that’s fine. It was probably ideal as a free Disney plus movie for that reason, so I thank Disney for that. 

I’m one of those people that thinks Inland empire is pretty comprehensible. You just cling onto the Laura Dern character and every other wonderfully bizarre thing gravitated around that. Her arc is pretty clear. A struggling actor who dives too deep into a role and accidentally dives into a supernatural nightmare…

It was less about Jennifer in particular and more about the general horror and stress of a first child. Many parents express stress about being responsible for an infant, Lynch just made his into a movie. 

The answer is right in the middle. Lynch IS making it up as he goes along, but that’s the point. That’s always been the point. He’s been open about that for decades. Lynch uses dreams and dream logic in cinematic form. It’s pure ideas given physical form through his work. Inland empire in particular never had a…

How do you know "for a fact"?

You’re comparing the work of Akira Kurosawa to freaking Zack Snyder? I bet you compare the black and white version of Justice league to citizen kane as well.  

I Still can’t get over the absurdity that his magnum opus 4 hour justice league movie was shot entirely in 4:3 like a 90's sitcom.

The difference here is that Gadot is giving few details because she repeatedly said she handled it back then and kept it private. So no one wants or needs details. Fisher wanted to play this entire thing out loudly and on Twitter. So you don't get to court hashtags of support and then keep things vague. It's one or…

This episode was streamed live on YouTube, so as an Australian who has never left Australia, this is the first and possibly only time I will ever get to watch SNL live. (Although it was 1pm on a Sunday here).
