The Doom Generation (1995) Dir. Gregg Araki - Teenage Apocalypse film trilogy #2. An all star cast, featuring everyone from Perry Farrell from Jane's Addiction to Skinny Puppy. Parker Posey to Heidi Fleiss. Amanda Bearse to Christopher Knight. Margaret Cho to Lauren Tewes. The interesting part, is they were all cameo appearances. This makes me miss the 90's when Film, Art, Music and Literature were spawned by surreal, post-apocalyptic, nightmarish, thought-provoking insight.

♡ FILMS FOR FAUNLET FASHION INSPO ♡

~~Got bored so compiled this (pretty extensive) list of film references for faunlet style and aesthetics, might be helpful for anyone looking to delve into and develop their style. Don't take this as some kind of gospel, it's just a bunch of movies and shows that I think can be useful reference points. My personal style and taste for example is a huge mix and amalgalm of stuff I see, from movie characters to paintings, books, comics, cartoons, music videos, haute couture collections, K- and J-idols, BJD dolls, even elements and staples from female fashion that I kind of genderflip or just outright mix into and merge with my own "masculine"/boyish/whatever faunlet fits. I think the secret to finding your style is to never limit yourself & always be creative (& clever ofc)! ♡

Feel free to suggest and tell me some of your personal films/shows that inspire you the most. I'm sure I forgot some stuff >.> Hope this helps somewhat lolol

WARNING: A LOT OF THESE HAVE MATURE THEMES AND +18 STUFF, SO DO RESEARCH BEFORE WATCHING AND PROCEED AT YOUR OWN DISCRETION, CAUTION & RESPONSIBILITY!

[boringkate]

I haven't watched the media you've posted yet, but you've mentioned there being forced fem victims. I don't quite understand what that means, at least in terms of portrayal in media. I'm definitely biased cause I have hot Tgirl swagger and a killer rack, and I think being force feminized is awesome. I guess at the core what I'm asking, is the situation portrayed in a way to illicit sympathy for the victims or will it turn me on and want to be them? (Still might be turned on regardless)

I mean I'm not jacking off to any of the movies listed (there's better porn out there for that), but I wouldn't say I sympathize with them in a "it's so sad that they got feminized" way either. I just think it's cool when boys are treated like girls or when there are girls that used to be boys. And it feels like there are obvious parallels to the trans excperience. It varies from movie to movie tho.

Like in Surrender Dorothy him being made to live as a sissy maid (and getting queer bashed for it etc and especially what happens at the end) is just rad in a salacious edgelordy Gregg Araki kinda way.

And in Memory Run it's just like oh this is a cool action flick about a trans woman. I'm fully viewing her as a trans woman. Especially with her being this traumatized computer hacker with increasingly radical politics and a found family sisterhood vibes thing going on with another traumatized girl. It's tgirl shit all the way down.

I've been pretty frustrated with people making a huge deal out of Spider-Gwen apparently being some type of trans (omg a cartoon used the colors pink and blue in the same frame). Because it's like if her transness is vague and subtle enough to go unnoticed or be debated then isn't that kinda weak? And I know those same people don't care about actual substantially queer media. Which makes it more frustrating. Why are you MORE hyped for crumbs than meaingful representation?

But I guess this is my version of getting hyped for crumbs. Movies where (rather than actually being trans) boys are secretly fed estrogen and then bullied into castrating themselves.

[quemajoiedemeure]

Avec un ami on a regardé Nowhere de Gregg Araki je sais pas pourquoi j'en avais jamais entendu parler mais c'est clairement mon nouveau film préféré, des ados riches queers et dépressifs de Los Angeles dans les années 90 qui prennent des drogues se baisent entre eux vont à des soirées où rien n'a de sens et où toute leur existence suinte la vacuité et le désespoir et où tout baigne dans une esthétique parfaite, bret ellis vibes du début à la fin wow

[minimanic]

Thought I'd throw my hat in the ring for a best films watched in 2023 list. I feel like this is the first year in a while where I've actually watched enough movies to warrant making one of these and it was honestly really rewarding! Full write up on my thoughts after the cut. Plus links for the ones that are free and legal to watch online c:

Bunny Lake Is Missing (1965) Absolutely Superb psychological thriller about a missing child. Infused with equal parts slow creeping dread and unhinged mania.

Watch

Godzilla Minus One (2023) No you're crying at the giant monster movie

Dreams that Money Can Buy (1947) A truly Delightful experimental film about a man who can see into people's dreams. The ensuing dream sequences are a tour de force of avant-garde and surrealist artists of the era including Max Ernst, Man Ray, Alexander Calder and more.

Watch

The World Is Full of Secrets (2018) So. Bit of a weird one here. This is a movie about girlhood and trauma that spends most of its runtime in close up on the faces of its main characters as they tell each other the sort of over the top scary stories you would expect from a group of 14-16 year olds. It drags in places, but it's also a pitch perfect dreamscape of every sleepover you were never invited to in high school and that's without getting into the framing device. Would love to talk about this one more because the context of how I even heard about it is a conversation in and of itself. But that's a story for a different post.

Midnight Cowboy (1969) Listen. Much has already been written about what the hell is going on with Rizzo's sexuality in this movie. I'm saying that's a gay man who correctly clocked that his painfully straight, visibly traumatized, roommate, whom he is in love with, is not ready to have That conversation. Anyway this was WAY weirder both visually and tonally than I was expecting. A pleasant surprise all around. Was also delighted to see that New York film majors haven't changed in 55 years

Watch

They Shoot Horses, Don't They? (1969) The myriad letterboxd reviews comparing this film to The Hunger Games do not lie. Which, combined with the inherent realism of this type of endurance dance competition being a thing people Actually Competed In at one point in history truly makes this a bleakly compelling watch.

Watch

The Living End (1992) Gregg Araki I am in your walls. Road movie of all time. Love to see a director that spends the last 10-15 minutes of every movie he makes like 'I am going to hurt you, so. So. much right now.'

Puss in Boots: The Last Wish (2022) Welcome back Mx. DreamWorks. You have been missed.

Bram Stoker's Dracula (1992) Another entry in the 'local man's taste in media is oops all red flags' category from me. Listen. Everybody knows this movie. Everybody has an Opinion about this movie. My opinion is that it fucking rips. Sorry it got so deeply embedded in The Culture that its a perpetual nuisance to the people who are not vibing but those people ain't me.

3. a foreign language film

20. a film where the vibes are immaculate

okay wait i’ve seen so many movies this is harder than i thought it would be :(

3. the strangler (l’étrangleur) dir. paul vecchiali

sort of a giallo film but also very much its own soft, eerie kind of thing. jacques perrin (wonderfully) plays a gentle serial killer who targets the saddest and loneliest of women. his actions are markedly different from other characters of his ilk because he (and the women he kills) seems to think of himself as a kind of angel of mercy. he’s also very queer-coded and has quite an intimate relationship with the police officer chasing him. just an incredibly beautiful, strange, and well-made film!

20. the doom generation dir. gregg araki

NOBODY does vibes better than the biggest names of the 90s new queer cinema movement and araki is no exception. TDG follows three teens on the cusp of adulthood through a near-post-apocalyptic LA. it’s sexy, dark, often absolutely ridiculous, and always entirely unique. stylish as fuck and will make you want to dress like any or all three of these characters. my personal favorite of the teenage apocalypse trilogy hands down!
