propaganda can be effective but not after The Last Airbender. and definitely not by a person who'd been defamed for years for having a name that was impossible to pronounce (Robot Chicken).

(*what a way to kill a child*) (from two posts back)

(its in the first 15 pages) (shoutouts to Critical Friends for pushing it into my next read, love to have that happen instead of need to read new thing because it's about to be out & I'm selling books.)

and then i immediately started my (somehow) first M. John Harrison and how much the same, how brutally different, what a kill a child by cutting their femoral artery cuz they gave you a noncensual golden shower of a book

finished Public Access Afterworld today & while i think Schoenbrun is a better writer for film than in prose i did 100% enjoy & have more thoughts about this novel than I have had about any of their films (Worlds Fair excepted). Its a fuckin good book.

as someone who hasnt seen a Shyamalan since Split (mostly bc i dont go to movies) & just wrote my big defense of After Earth: thank you for telling the truth, sometimes parties need to be derailed

okay but thats kinda a banger of a sentence

okay one last time & i shut the hell up: i wrote about some cool films that no one likes for good reasons, earnestly & from the perspective of someone who genuinely loves them & has for at least a decade

had no interest in the new Wilson book but did grab the advanced audiobook & its cool that its apparently a material history of translation. some things i immediately dont know about but having been mired in videogame discourse about translation it does feel a bit refreshing

not that bitch but thanks for talking about that book

really consistent with a person who is worried about a history & engaging with trans elders, for sure. crazy about how the novel keeps talking about girls who teach girls how to live.

glad to hear the new story rips though, cuz yeah i also agree the sentences just werent there. & i also am sure torrey's lovely

people still ask me if ive read it and i frankly just lie and say no half the time so they can buy it and get whatever they get. when im being real i tell people the book doesnt have the courage of its convictions to be either the native informant trans novel or the nasty mess beating in its heart

iirc there is a slightly extended discussion of bugchasers/bugchasing in there that tipped me over. as a them who was also once an internet troll/edgelord & a reader of That Nasty Shit i was like oh are we actively going for salacious now? are we looking to be scandalized?

havent opened D,B since '21 but my problem with it at the time was not the same (other than also being like so what the fuck is up with the materiality of this baby tho) but definitely orthogonal.

oh this is really very good

"The last time I saw a report on Peters’s personal life, she was dividing her time between New York and the Caribbean coast of Colombia, a country where she is establishing legal residency.

One doesn’t want to romanticize adversity. Yet there is relief in having a false accommodation laid bare. It was simply never going to be this easy, and if the dream of a universal atomism is receding out of view, that vision of life wasn’t much to write home about. If nothing else can be said for the year 2026, it is at least impossible to imagine Detransition, Baby being written now."

after roughly six years of not writing much outside of bookstore blurbs, I've been really trying to get back in the critical/artistic practice. Doing this did help me realize I do have thoughts on aesthetics & form still, which was kind of a big relief

How to Watch Movies Like a Bee by BeeGabberel

From After Earth to The Haunting (1999), The Phantom of the Opera (Argento) to Thir13een Ghosts, I wrote short intros and then 400-1000 words about movies that I genuinely love and what about them speak to me. I'd be delighted if whoever you are, you took a peak beegabberel.itch.io/bees-movies

In 2011 I started a tradition: every year on my birthday I would release some piece of art into the world. I somehow haven't missed a year since and, also surprisingly, have made a thing that might be my favorite of the lot so far: a zine that is about the movies I love that no one else does.

that actually makes a bunch of sense and im surprised ive never come across it. you were absolutely on fire that episode regardless, you all were really, thanks for making such a funny show on top of it being great genre analysis

So happy Bee Day to you, internet, im 38 years old and feel about as isolated as i ever have and sometimes its good to have big feelings about movies

(the answer to the rhetorical is probably anyone who has ever talked to me but) hey we're talking Kim Jee-Woon's The Last Stand, Jan de Bont's The Haunting, Vin Diesel's Riddick (haven't seen the previous two don't care) and of course my favorite film of all time, Pulse 3

Ive gone long before about After Earth, the greatest living director's magnum opus, and Jupiter Ascending, the prettiest movie about feeling pretty, before, but who'd have guessed yr girl has deep thoughts about Phantom of the Opera (Argento, 1998)'s singular pacing/menstrual blood image?

Tomorrow i will turn 38, which feels impossible but hey. I will also, for the sixteenth time, release a gift into the world (spoilers its a zine again). If you'd like, here is a link to the poems, albums, games, & more that I've made so far uninterpretative.blogspot.com/2021/10/bees...

there's a phrase cameron says at the end of this clip that risked breaking me and michael permanently. i could feel each of us trying to hold onto the railing for fear of spiraling away, off of the earth, forever

CMRN coining the phrases "9/11 Pride Eagle" and "bird finger" across less then ten minutes of the Highlander Bonusode on Shelved by Genre had me genuinely wheezing
