Half a century ago! 🤷 66522

The film is a fantasy of busted binaries, and characters whose sexuality, gender identity, kinks, and persona are in a state of symbolic impermanence. www.patreon.com/willowcately... 47917

GDQ immediately apologizes, turns down the sponsorship and makes a commitment to do better, yet somehow some people are more pissed? Is the concept of mistakes and forgiveness lost of people?

stusmallz.bsky.social @stusmallz.bsky.social · 16/06/2026Spoilers for #TheHuntForRedOctober, but it bears repeating that John McTiernan was such a good filmmaker in his prime, that he could make a potentially hokey/cliched scene like this be effective enough that even someone just half watching the moment would get sad about it: youtu.be/BJESLxEd0Tk?...youtu.beI would like to have seen Montana...xp.wmvYouTube video by IAMZOT 000

Reposted by @stusmallz.bsky.socialWillow Catelyn Maclay @willowcatelyn.bsky.social · 21/12/2025SHUTTER ISLAND (Martin Scorsese, 2010) I don't think it's worthwhile to look for realism or answers in the scripted logic of SI, because the emotional truth keeps returning. It's about running into the shadows to get away from what you've seen & felt before. It's a Val Lewton technique. 5271
