“Close to Me” is the one most dear to my heart, because The Head on the Door was the very first Cure album I purchased (on cassette tape from the Columbia House record club!)

All I’m going to say is there’s a reason white people are overrepresented in MAHA. There is a reason MAHA hates disabled and autistic people so much. The movement is deeply entrenched with racism, eugenics, race science, and ableism and any analysis of it neglecting to note this is shortsighted

I wrote about BOUND for my reader's choice series. This essay is an expanded version of the ideas that I initially proposed in our book Corpses, Fools and Monsters, but with some newer thinking regarding the film & how it fits as a beacon for the New Trans Cinema. www.patreon.com/willowcately...
The modern trans filmmaker is often didactic due to their histories as viewers, cinephiles, and as political beings. There can be an unfair onus on these filmmakers to liberate an insidious history of negative trans film images in the mainstream by remixing them for their own purposes (Camp Miasma, T-Blockers), or a duty to comment on the ongoing political backlash facing trans people in many countries throughout the world (Castration Movie 2, T-Blockers). These patterns of interrogation resemble the way that gay filmmakers in the shadow of the AIDS crisis were similarly didactic and working through their own negative histories of onscreen depiction in Hollywood films. The truth of the matter is that Hollywood and Queer cinema will never rightly cohere, but the Hollywood machine can reveal fascinating things through the distinct languages of queer filmmakers who smuggle their ideas into the system. These filmmakers are not free from criticism if they fall short in some manner, or, god-forbid, if they are crucified for selling out their identities, but their status as queer filmmakers within that system may still create a valuable dissonance at a high-budget. Still, I cannot imagine how strange it must be to work under those circumstances, with the weight of an expectant and starved community of queer viewers imprinting their own needs and desires onto the art that a queer filmmaker wishes to make. The New Trans Cinema does not have much access to the Hollywood system, but these filmmakers at a micro-budget are still approaching their material with the weight of history and politics influencing the shape of narratives and their visual grammar. If there is one exception to the rule of the economically disadvantaged trans filmmaker, it is the Wachowski sisters, who worked for many years while closeted, and, in hindsight, were also grappling with histories of disreputable trans cinematics, while investigating the nature and meaning of becoming....“The relationship that I have with the story [of Bound] really begins with me struggling with the depiction of people like me in media. I watched Psycho. I watched Dressed to Kill...,Sleepaway Camp, and just the endless films that are trans people as psycho killers, and chopping people up. And it really hit me the hardest with Silence of the Lambs...and Silence of the Lambs is made by an amazing, brilliant filmmaker [Jonathan Demme] and it has Jodie Foster and I love her so much, but the film just made me physically sick. I couldn’t even sit in the theater and I ran outside and I went to the bathroom. I’m crying in the bathroom, and I just sat there and I was trying to think of like one film that was set inside of a genre world where an LGBT character won and went off and lived happily ever after. And I’m sitting there racking my brain and I can’t think of one and then I was like...in this tiny, icky sticky bathroom I thought...I’ll make it.”
-Lana Wachowski, 2019

FURIOUS was fucking amazing and definitely one of my favorite shows of the year. As an abuse survivor I’m having a lot of feelings about it — but for now I’ll just say, very well done, Elizabeth Meriwether. VERY well done. And 👌👌 to Emily Rossum, Quincy Tyler Bernstine, and Lola Petticrew.

💯 @reamimator.bsky.social and I had a lot to chew on after watching Obsession. Had a very satisfying conversation about who the villain is.

Amie Simon @reamimator.bsky.social · 24/07/2026
The Obsession discourse about Bear is BREAKING ME. How are folks misinterpreting this film?! He’s so clearly the villain, not the victim. And the reason so many women find him terrifying is because we can easily imagine all of the “I’m a nice guy!” men we’ve met using a One-Wish Willow on us.
