Paris Is Burning

The most fascinating documentary I've ever watched. Gay black men, drag queens and trans women are the backbone of our current pop culture, and this film shows the backstage of it all. Unfortunately they still don't get credited, their culture is stolen by white folk and praised by other white people. But the lgbt+ community knows, and we celebrate them.

There are definitely some issues with this documentary. I take outing and closet-blaming very seriously and while I think politicians should indeed be reprimanded and called out for passing and supporting anti-lgbt legislation, no one knows what they're going through whilst in the closet, no one knows how badly they might be suffering, and they shouldn't be attacked for not being out. Yes, they should be attacked for their anti-lgbt policies, but not for being closeted specifically. I also thought the obsession with Crist got a bit too much by the end. And bisexuality IS a thing, and gay people love to pretend it isn't.

That said, this was a very interesting watch as I didn't know how many closeted gay men were in american politics and specifically in the republican party.

Such a powerful film and such a fresh take on activism. You can feel the anger in the performances and often it has a documentary feel to it. Absolutely loved it.

This was a bit boring but the start and the ending totally made up for it. Oh and all the close-ups of sweaty legs and shoulders that made my heart race just a lil'

Woweee Tab Hunter was GORGEOUS. I'd never heard of him but i wish he had been a star in the present he'd STILL be every girl's dream man but he could be out and proud at the same time and no one would care.

Amazing performance by Taron, i’m so in love with him. It’s hard to not draw comparisons with Bohemian Rhapsody, which i also liked, but I’m happy to see that this film wasn’t as afraid to take risks as the former was. It showed the good and the ugly, and it didn’t shy away from more disturbing scenes, which i applaud. The musical format also fits perfectly. Loved it!

Logan

As much as the fights were getting a bit repetitive by the end, this is still one of the most well-done super hero movies i've ever seen. It grips you from start to finish and it's hard to watch at some parts, but it truly elevates the genre in a way that hasn't been done since the Dark Knight Trilogy. It shows what real life would actually look like if there were enhanced people in it, without unnecessary comedy to lighten up the mood, without flashy fireworks (not that there's anything wrong with that, but something different is definitely welcomed right now). I just loved it so much.

The only reason I'm not giving it a 10 is cus from all the x men movies, this one included, Logan/Wolverine never really became a favourite, he's just not the sort of character that wins my heart over. Laura on the other hand... love her so freaking much.

Shameless: 9x14 Found

THAT'S the Shameless i fell in love with all those years ago. They definitely got lost along the way but this second part of season 9 reminded me exactly why this show used to be, and could still end up being, one of the best. This family, these characters, these actors are amazing and if given the right material they can tug at your heart strings like few others can. I'm gonna miss Fiona so damn much. But i cannot wait for season 10. If they keep up this level of quality and with Mickey and Ian back?? Shaping up to be their best season yet. Let's gooooo november 11th!!!!!

Memento

what is chris nolan smoking every time he makes a movie?!?

no, seriously, i was proud of myself that i figured out teddy wasn't actually the killer and that natalie was using leonard's revenge to get her own with more or less 40 minutes left of the movie. i thought i'd managed to figure out the big plot twist ahead of time like i did with fight club and was feeling all cocky until the movie threw me another curve ball with Leonard being Sammy all along lol. amazing ending. amazing movie.
