i saw the tv glow, dir. jane schoenbrun // the haunting of hill house, shirley jackson

There was this horrible moment I had while reading SotR today where I realized Haymitch looked at Katniss and saw the dead little girl with dark braided hair he had to carry to Snow’s doorstep, his best friend he had to push away for his own good, and the Covey girl he couldn’t save all rolled into one more tribute he had to lead to her death wearing the meanest girl in town’s pin. I need to be sedated

thinking about how maddy/tara mentions working at build-a-bear in the monologue. thinking about how the most important part of the bear-stuffing ritual at build-a-bear is giving your stuffed animal a heart. thinking about tara and isabel's hearts in the freezer that mr. melancholy took from them. how the beauty of the pink opaque came from owen and maddy bestowing meaning upon it. can anyone hear me.

BOTTOMS (2023) + text posts Dir. Emma Seligman

Lots of people have talked about how she ended Lover with Daylight talking about how she didn’t want to be defined by all the things that haunted her in the middle of the night and then went on to make Midnights which is an entire album about the things that haunt her in the middle of the night but all I can think about is how all of that ties in to The Manuscript - “looking backward might be the only way to move forward” and the timing of Midnights which came after Red TV and all of the things she talks about in The Manuscript…and people say we have no idea about her life when she’s handed it to us on a silver platter

HAVANA ROSE LIU as ISABEL BOTTOMS (2023) dir. Emma Seligman

"i know you're a black republican but you're the smartest among us"

horny freak #1 horny freak #2

saw someone point out that in jackie's death dream she imagined shauna the way she's always seen her: kind, gentle and full of nothing but love for jackie, even though that version of shauna never completely existed, whereas shauna hallucinated a version of jackie that was incredibly mean and only made jokes at shauna's expense and acted like she's above shauna in every way, when that version of jackie never completely existed either. but both of those versions were the warped way they perceived each other. day ruined

Speaking of Ethel Cain, I miss Hayden’s presence on this app so much.

Obviously, her reasons for logging off should always be completely respected but really missing the hours upon hours I’d spend just scrolling through her page just to read her “ask me anything” responses. She is so eloquently spoken and knowledgeable about the topics she speaks on; I can only hope to eventually reach just half of her reflective capacity. And also, obviously, her lyrical and storytelling genius like no other; it is actually mind blowing. Truly one of the greatest artists of our generation. No one does it like her.

(And if she’s not sharing the sacred secrets to her craft, she has me laughing till my stomach hurts with her responses)

MotherCain, we absolutely do not deserve you but I hope you return one day ily 💔 so excited for the new album coming up.
