I’m back to writing about film! My recent trip to Cannes inspired me to get back into it, so here’s my review of CHRISTMAS EVE IN MILLER’S POINT, a sweet, meditative film about family christmases that has a lot of style, even if it is a little too long.
Justin Bieber made Parris take down her YUMMY music video/ choreography because it was better & more popular than his, and now she’s being shady on social media. I love it!

@hunteryharris
is talking about the weird way the armie hammer story is being labelled. It’s not a “sex scandal” or a tale of “social media cancel culture” its... repeated abuse with many victims who shouldn’t have their experience downplayed as a “weird kink thing”
The 15 minute walk home from my local cinema is usually a pleasant one. Tonight, I have to look twice at every man I walk past. "Situational Awareness" get fucked. It's not my job to be constantly monitoring my own safety; It's men's jobs to do better.

like, you do not need to be barricade to have a meaningful & enjoyable time at a concert!! if thats the only way you think you can enjoy a gig, you need to stop thinking about shows as a YOU experience, and more about how its a COMMUNAL experience
@PatrickLenton
i love how we’ve “abandoned home ownership” like, someone was offering us a house and we said “no thanks i’d actually prefer a grouphouse with one semi-functional toilet”
anyway someone needs to write the article about how parasocial relationships with celebrities + the normalisation of camping culture is like, forcing fans’ expectations of a concert to be a completely selfish one.
@onlychloexhalle
i love how she’s not hiding how annoyed she is, she’s got the smile but the pissed eyes 😩 she’s really like, bitch why are you still asking ????
After 2 weeks of multiple health screens and asking everyone to quarantine, I surprised my closest inner circle with a trip to a private island where we could pretend things were normal just for a brief moment in time.
@Nigerian_OG
so many bootlickers in the replies like “billionaires don’t owe us anything” and “they earned all their money”... like, most of them are billionaires who don’t pay taxes so yeah... they literally have an obligation to help others which they illegally ignore
this!! also the way shiv purposely imitates & performs masculinity through her over-the-top hunched over body language whenever she’s in business meetings… its very transparent and cringe & god sarah snook is very good at this
So the video is back online & Parris deleted her post. Idk what negotiations took place but i’m glad the vid is getting the praise & views it deserves. Go support

because these ladies are the most talented dancers out there
i get that its popular to hate on rachel zegler rn but bullying a teenage girl on twitter for the actions of her male costar feels so icky to me. that man put her in a horrible position & she would have contractual obligations to do this press tour she didnt have a lot of choices
on the topic of “fans viewing concerts as an individual experience rather than a communal one”… lets also stop SCREAMING in peoples ears throughout the whole thing. it’s not just about u!!
(im not talking about singing - see vid with audio on)
i dont even blame the girl cus like, if ur participating in an online fan culture where being barricade is seen as the BE ALL AND END ALL then ofc u would want that & be upset when u didnt get it.
@brokebackstan
theres a huge urge on twitter that every bit of breaking news has to use the language of social justice & abuse, like the affairs of adam levine + this dude cant just be funny, scandalous gossip, it has to be linked to bigger ideas of abuse & coercion always
@phntmthread
really confused why so many people are in this thread comparing booksmart to ladybird... they are nothing alike. One is a big ensemble comedy about two best friends, the other is an early 00s coming of age film about a teen girls relationship with her mother
Rewatching Game of Thrones I have so much more sympathy and appreciation for Sansa and how she grows. Yes, at the beginning she was young and naieve. And no she was never brave like Arya. But I think this is what makes her small acts of bravery & defiance so much more impressive.
@VictoriaJoss
this is so weird. imagine spamming celebrities mentions to criticise them for not posting on social media about their probably dead friend. let them mourn & process in piece! celebrities don't owe you shit !
Thinking about how 'Selah and The Spades' is only Tayarisha Poe's first film... can u imagine what we're gonna get next if THAT's her debut?!?! It's only gonna get better & better.
@ddiankaa_
nah it seems to me like she just made it for fun? maybe hoping that it would result in more collabs with him but he clearly just shut her down and spit on her hard work
shiv seeing her brother sexually harassing the only other woman in the inner circle and immediately trying to take advantage of it for her personal gain… oh no she’s a terrible personal
like... imagine trying to argue that crisp rat belongs in the Top 4 Chris List, when we ALL know its: Pine, Messina, Hemsworth and then Christine Baranski !!!
hundreds of cops with no masks on, pepper spraying civilians after trapping them in an enclosed space. its almost like... the nsw police never gave a shit about protecting people from covid, and they just wanted to suppress a protest on police brutality
I personally cannot WAIT for a Sansa / Cersei showdown in Season 7. Cersei last saw Sansa as a a young naive girl, she’s not going to know what hit her. The two will meet as intellectual and political equals and I am SO excited to see how that ends.
MOVIES WHERE THE SEQUEL IS BETTER THAN THE ORIGINAL:
- THE HUNGER GAMES CATCHING FIRE
- PIRATES OF THE CARRIBEAN: DEAD MANS CHEST
- SHREK 2
Any others ?
every word

writing about buying a £200 prada headband to “remind me who i am” when people all over the world are losing their jobs..: holy shit she sucks so much
like... imagine trying to argue that crisp rat belongs in the Top 4 Chris List, when we ALL know its: Pine, Messina, Hemsworth and then Christine Baranski !!!
Sansa isn’t a cool assasin like Arya, a soldier like Brienne, or a conquerer like Dany, and so people thing she’s useless. But after her time in King’s Landing, she has learnt so much about how to navigate politics and leading using her wits, not her sword, as we saw in Season 7.
I think so much of the Sansa hate comes from internalised mysogyny, and the way culture teaches us to shame those who love traditionally feminine things.
sophie turner is drunk on her insta story rn and she’s so far made fun of tiktok, frothed over leo dicaprio, hyped up Parasite & tried to get herself cast in the Lizzie McGuire show. We stan a chaotic queen!!!! God i’ve missed her so much.
and this is the SECOND TIME THIS SHOW that shiv has used another woman’s sexual assault / harassment for her own benefit ??? its like the writers said “oh you didn’t clock it last time??? shiv doesn’t give a FUCK about other women”
does anyone know any good teen movies directed by a woman? I'm on my
#52FilmsByWomen
marathon and all the iconic teen movies seem to be directed by men :/
the fact that like TWENTY times in this episode, someone says “go to the crypts with the children, you’ll be safe there” means that 1000% THE CRYPTS ARE NOT SAFE. THEY’RE ALL GOING TO DIE.
and she doesn’t naturally sit like that either… look at her quiet defensive body language here in this intimate family moment in kendall’s daughters bedroom. But when it’s “business talk” she shifts this awkward hyper-masculine position straight away
