Shortbus

This was basically the perfect movie because it had two things that I will almost always love which is 1) New York City and 2) unsimulated real life, extended and prolonged sex on screen.

Sofia’s unfortunate predicament was interesting because I’ve known multiple women who also struggle to orgasm so to me, she’s a friend.

James and Jamie’s story was the most compelling because it turned out to be so poignant and sad and loving, especially when it culminates with Caleb’s (the stalker guy) direct involvement in the end.

Blade Trinity

Dracula saying “I was there when they crucified him. He died for their sins. But not mine."

When Parker Posey said, “How about everyone stops saying the word ‘dick’? It provokes my envy.” What did she mean by that 🤔

Completely couldn’t believe that it was Ryan Reynolds I was watching. How has he been playing the same kind of guy for over a decade now… I mean honestly, it was fine, it’s an action movie, there are vampires and sometimes it’s hot, but mostly I didn’t care for it that much. Did like the music though, obviously.

Sorry Baby

Watched this with a buncha people at Angelika on Houston St. It was pretty funny and cozy despite the kinda dark subject matter. Y’know I’m appreciating how movie are broken up into different arcs or acts and more recently I’ve noticed how explicit they are about showing it. Title cards, timestamps, etc. It situates me very well in the plot, I like it.

I didn’t get to talk very much about it after the movie ended, but I did get to catch up with Claire over dinner at a Dig Inn that was nearby, which was really nice.

KPop Demon Hunters

I watched this with my sister at home while we were both high and scrolling Netflix. I originally suggested we watched the new Medea movie but in this instance I was so happy my sister challenged me to watch K-Pop Demon Hunters instead. It was such a fabulous experience.

The Wind That Shakes the Barley

I requested this DVD primarily because I had the hots for Dr. Crane played by Cillian Murphy in the Batman Trilogy. Literally, why was he so hot and sexy there it was making me go crazy. Anyway, I was like, let me start from the beginning for his work. Now suddenly, I’m reading up on the Easter Rebellion and the split of the IRA.

The story of the movie follows Damien (Cillian Murphy) as he joins the IRA after witnessing multiple atrocities committed by the British Army. He fights alongside the members of the local flying column until there is a ceasefire between Britain and the IRA. They learn that the treaty signed does not free Ireland entirely which causes a split within the IRA that leads to the Irish Civil War.
