kae @slowslows.bsky.social · 13/01/2025dad’s opinions on the trailers today - 28 years later: “is every movie just like this now??” (got jumpscared and screamed) - love hurts: “i’ll go see that. that’s data from the goonies.” - captain america: “red hulk! yeahh i’ll see that.” 110 0
kae @slowslows.bsky.social · 11/01/2025the state of journalism is so dire. i just saw a clip from 2 years ago where an interviewer asked jeremy irons if scar is a “closeted gay lion” 020 0

kae @slowslows.bsky.social · 04/01/2025i love driving a distance to see a movie that is longer than the movie it’s like one of my favorite “grown ass woman” hobbies 110 0
kae @slowslows.bsky.social · 03/01/2025love finally doing mcconaughey’s filmography. every reviewer starting in 2011 is like “THIS IS THE BEST PERFORMANCE OF HIS CAREER” gradually getting bigger, over and over, because they haven’t seen true detective yet. but i have seen true detective. several times. 010 0
kae @slowslows.bsky.social · 03/01/2025disliked ‘dallas buyers club’ so strongly and not even really on moral grounds (rarely my thing) but mostly because it bored me to fucking tears 110 0
kae @slowslows.bsky.social · 02/01/2025me and the bff have become obsessed with the bill simmons movie podcast over the last year. can just be really refreshing sometimes to listen to the most lukewarm awful takes for a bit. 210 0

kae @slowslows.bsky.social · 25/12/2024logging onto letterboxd to give a movie like ‘the santa clause’ or something 1 star is just very silly to me 😭 010 0

kae @slowslows.bsky.social · 02/12/2024all of his films are to some extent but ‘panic room’ especially is such a showcase of fincher’s exactness and detail. every single relevant detail is in the first 10 minutes, just barely noticeable in the background. 020 0
kae @slowslows.bsky.social · 02/12/2024the thing about a death very close to you (something i have never experienced until this week) is that you have to keep remembering that they didn’t die for everybody in the world and that’s why everybody in the world is still going. it’s pretty much just you and a handful of people. 260 0

kae @slowslows.bsky.social · 15/11/2024i’m happy for everyone who felt emotionally impacted by ANORA but it just really left me hungering for something that felt a little more real or dedicated to any kind of human experience….probably just wasn’t for me which is 🤷♀️ fine. 100 0

kae @slowslows.bsky.social · 15/11/2024if /i/ could tweak the anora ending i would have igor’s presence in the film be tampered wayyyy down to just a vaguely comforting steady figure lingering in the background, and then when he’s responsible for (silently) taking her home she can have her moment of releasing pent-up vulnerability 110 0

Reposted by kae🚮 @freakinguseless.bsky.social · 15/11/2024kae could 100% disagree with me but i would be here nodding my head like, so true. (there are certain people i always feel that way about because they're so, so smart and thoughtful) 141 0
kae @slowslows.bsky.social · 15/11/2024for a nice anora observation i really enjoyed noticing how kind ani is, particularly to service workers and people portrayed as Her Kind. she was constantly pausing to smile or say hi (even to ivan’s “help”) and i felt like it humanized her for me more than anything 010 0
kae @slowslows.bsky.social · 15/11/2024i don’t mean to shit on the movie too much because i don’t think it was bad. it’s just always the things that grind at you that really come out first 010 0
kae @slowslows.bsky.social · 15/11/2024i just don’t think it’s “nonjudgmental” or “empowering” to watch a woman be exploited, brutalized, laughed at, dismissed, and thrown back to nothing, for 2 hours and 20 minutes. which is literally fine but it dulls the intention. for me. 220 0
