Just read a Letterboxd review I really liked. Clicked on the profile, it was written by a 19 year old. Review discarded, like rescinded.

How about ‘500 Days of Sodom’, is that something?

What do you mean you confused Helen Hunt for Holly Hunter? Are you a fucking idiot? Are you a fucking ASSHOLE?

it is crazy how the Manson Murders were the clarity of focus John Waters needed to find his voice. I saw Mondo Trasho the other night and it’s fine and everything, but cut to Multiple Maniacs only a couple of years later, and it’s like he suddenly knows what his movies are about.

The Silence of the Lambs has its problems, I know, but it’s also an elevated horror from a time when ‘elevated’ meant having good performances, directing, writing, etc.

0.000% of Communism has been built. Evil child-murdering billionaires still rule the world with a shit-eating grin. All he has managed to do is make himself *sad*. He is starting to suspect Kras Mazov *fucked him over* personally with his socio-economic theory.

Transphobia and antisemitism are structurally very similar. The scapegoating of a tiny minority perceived as having undue cultural influence. Anyone you hate can be suspected of being one of them. Moral panic over grooming and "they're mutilating our kids", essentially a modern form of blood libel.

Sir Keir isn’t hated more intensely than either of those guys were. That isn’t the problem here! The problem is that *nobody* likes these people, and almost nobody wants what they’re selling.

What you’ve got to understand is when I post ratings and reviews on Letterboxd, those are objective facts. I an channelling them directly from the Lord Almighty. So just keep that in mind, alright?

Every now and then I follow a film YouTuber on Letterboxd, and pretty much every time their opinions are so bad I feel like they have been kicked in the head by a horse.

I’ll tell you something, I’ve got some great films on my Letterboxd watchlist.

I can’t look at another auto-play video of influencers in $300 cardigans talking into a microphone. I just can’t do it anymore.

It’s Pynchon season coming up and one of the things he keeps coming back to in his later books is the idea of extremely powerful or straight-up evil people having a Road to Damascus moment where they try to make up for all the horror they’ve inflicted by using that power to make something right.

My novel in progress, Infinity Land, was longlisted in the WestWord First Chapter competition this morning. I should probably post more interesting things on BlueSky. Sorry.

Weirdly this is not the only time I've seen anti-trans ideologues get very weird about adoptive/step-parents where they insist calling them a parent is a polite fiction, rather than i think the more common understanding that there are many routes to becoming a parent.
