In Keira Knightley’s defense she needs the money. Her career died on the train tracks with Anna Karenina.

I’ve now written so many essays about Portrait of Lady on Fire I could probably publish a book

It’s funny South Park is relevant again for making an AI-created Trump small penis joke because I’ve been thinking a lot about how the South Parkification of satire has resulted in decades of smug, toothless work. Cannot remember the last great mainstream American work of satire.

If Dr. Strangelove was made today Peter Sellers would also play an anti-nuclear war protestor who was super cringe which if you think about it is almost as bad as starting nuclear war

Forgot to share this here but since getting laid off you can follow me on substack where my first essay was about cancer movies and my second essay was about failing to have sex with cis men 🎉

Lorde’s album is proof nothing about being newly trans is as mortifying as trying to fill the hole left by your parents with bad sex

Every time I have to make a personality quiz or cover a show like The Ultimatum: Queer Love I feel like I have the energy of Robert Pattinson on his last Twilight press tours

Lorde’s new album sounds like an MRI machine (complimentary) which makes sense given the album art is anyone asking her about this

Would be cool if publicists representing straight musicians would stop emailing me since I rarely do music coverage and even more rarely do straight people coverage.

I’m managing to mostly still do my job despite everything except the hundreds of emails I receive every day. I seem to have lost the ability to wade through everything to read and respond to the stuff I actually should in a timely manner.

I wrote this five years ago and it’s become a totally different company since then — including releasing many of the titles I brought up!

Criterion’s “Portrait Of A Lady on Fire” Release Is Incredible — We Still Deserve More
Portrait of a Lady on Fire is only the third film in the Criterion Collection to feature queer women that’s actually directed by a queer woman.

Obviously not to take away from all of the organizations doing the actual restorations but Criterion has become a partner on and a platform for a lot of cinema they would’ve totally ignored a decade ago and we’re so much better as a culture because of it.

It’s kind of crazy to look at Criterion’s turn in the last five years toward restoring and releasing a diverse catalogue of work that truly deserves it. Maybe the only time I’ve ever seen a company get MORE ethical. There was a time when they had more movies from Jean-Luc Godard than women.

Not to get emotional about film preservation but it’s actually so cool that in the span of a few years Mississippi Masala went from barely available to proof of a mayoral candidate’s nepotism.

All the Sabrina Carpenter discourse reminds me of when someone told me she didn’t like Babygirl because she didn’t find it sexy and I was like oh yeah you can’t watch it expecting it to actually be kinky and then I realized her issue was that it was too kinky and she found it offensive

Getting a job with health insurance is wild because all of a sudden you find out everything wrong with you at the same time that you’re trying to get all the trans stuff you’ve wanted for years at the same time that you have a job

I like the movie as much as the next Pacino-loving transsexual but a Dog Day Afternoon play by Stephen Adly Guirgis in 2025 is certainly a choice.

Something I think people should stop doing is using “written by AI” as an insult when something was not written by AI. Even when the work is bad it plays into the idea that AI could replace industry jobs when it actually requires a beautiful humanity to create something like And Just Like That…

Wild to feel so alienated from them in the moment, come out as trans, go through all the social and medical challenges that entails, only to now as a 31 year old woman FINALLY relate to all of the boys I went to college with (obsessed with Nathan Fielder)
