It’s been over two years since the last time I wrote one of these, but I feel I have to talk about this one.

My Favorite Directors… or something, it gets complicated, but I tried
I doubt it will ever happen, but I do think about making a movie quite frequently (and I do have pretty good plans as well, at least from the point of view of feasibility financially, because of extremely tight budgeting). I would really like to make a movie like the last two movies by Celine Sciamma. Both Portrait of a Lady on Fire and Petite maman are very cozy and secure. At the same time, I realize where my mind goes when working on ideas, my movie would end up more like one by Gaspar Noe, who makes movies about his own nightmares.
Jawan Review
Jawan apparently means “soldier”. Why this is the name of the movie is not immediately obvious.
An Ode to James Gunn
Somehow it feels like James Gunn is a true veteran director, but actually he has only directed six feature films in seventeen years. That’s not nothing and is in itself impressive (how many people have actually directed six features?).

What Does Being the ‘Greatest’ Actually Mean?

So, this is more of an argument. Which is frustrating, because I do feel this is a topic that warrants some investigation.
The Three Musketeers: D’Artagnan Review
Originally Les trois mousquetaires: D’Artagnan. This seems to be an attempt to start a series of films, as the next movie (Milady) is already set to be released later this year.
The Mandatory Performative Pride Month Post: 10 LGBTQ+ Movies
Just so there’s no misunderstanding here about the title of this post: I am not trying to make fun of Pride month. I am making fun of various companies that do this performative shit annually, and I’m making fun of myself as someone who would like to be an ally, but really isn’t, because I don’t really do anything besides random things like this for that community, nor do I identify as queer.
