"It's only the swooniest movie of all time."

""Swooniest'? Is that even a word?"

"Yes, of course it is!"

Idk what steel magnolias is but hard agree on Olivia/Mellie. That show always had the worst love interests for them.

my GOD, anon. Mellivia rotted my brain. Two women who were the smartest people in the room, and power was their shared love child. Their delicious but magnetically volatile chemistry. Their fraught, entangled, messy, fucked up history. The way they both propped up the same pathetic manchild for years upon years. How they drunkenly admitted to each other that they were glad that the other was there, even when they were at odds. How they hurt each other and were totally goddamn vicious about it. How when they worked together, they were glorious. They were unstoppable. Their White House. Their Presidency. Their right. “Mellie is mine. Mine to advise. Mine to protect.” Olivia defending Mellie when Fitz accused her of being a monster. Mellie understanding, better than anyone, when Olivia temporarily became Fitz’s newest decorative jewel in the White House. Olivia calling Mellie the biggest bitch she knows and it being a compliment. Mellie joking that maybe they’ll give them side-by-side jail cells one day. So many complicated, often painful movements between them. So many spoken and unspoken tendernesses. They both understood the loneliness of being a woman who clawed and fought her way to the top of the world, and for a brief time, they stood there together, hand in grasping hand, trading stupidly big glasses of wine and jars of homemade moonshine.

AND THEY STILL DIDN’T FUCK!!!!!!!!!

Also, HIGHLY recommend Steel Magnolias. It’s one of my favorite movies. It’s about the tender and sometimes tense relationships between mothers and daughters, definitely, but its triumph is that it’s about the utter joy of female friendship. Sally Field, Dolly Parton, and Julia Roberts are in it!

If you guys liked Metal Lords I think you’d appreciate Todd & the book of pure evil. They are very similar with the wacky Highschool humor! It’s like if Metal Lords and Deathgasm had a Canadian baby!

Finally watched Endgame for the first time since 2019. I loved the part at the end where Tony and Pepper and Morgan live happily ever after and Steve lives out his life in the present with his best friends Bucky and Sam and Natasha. What a great, totally not-shitty ending to such a beloved era of the MCU

#i will not watch the last half hour of that movie i refuse #i only forced myself to watch it so i could figure out what's getting changed in della and maggie's universe #FUCK ENDGAME AND FUCK THE R*SSOS #that is all #kate talks

to add on to my stupid shitposting and be serious though, I should mention this is the article that made me almost cry today reading it.

#maggie cheung and leslie's acting speaks volumes and almost shapes the story so fluidly so the tribute speaks for itself #explains why almost everything i've ever written is inspired by a good movie/tv show with good acting #and the act of quote and quote acting #it's painful and fascinating and powerful!#anyway...im gonna probably re-watch the classic pinoy four sisters and a wedding for some laughs #f journal #even when i was writing for idol rpf i have had so many ambitious ideas for fic AUs based on movies/tv show #a lot of them im kinda glad i didn't write lol but still

just finished watching downton abbey 2......... lmao

#the way.... this completely undermines thomas's entire character arc over the past few seasons #i mean. i hated that arc and have been hoping that he'd get exactly this since the first episode #but did they have to canonise it in the most homophobic way possible??????#like they brought back that disgusting richard ellis has a wife actually plotline #and then made thomas fall for a man with absolutely no depth who is literally called 'guy' (revealing!!)#like they didn't even get to kiss and thomas is just gonna fuckin marry him???????? lmaooooo #ok alright whatever idc anymore idc #best bit hands down was when the slotmachine.com logo that was emblazoned on the pirated version of the movie i watched #finally faded in neatly and largely just bellow maggie smiths memorial portrait as the movie finally ended <3 #downton abbey #my nonsense

Moviezzz:

THE AMERICAN SOCIETY OF MAGICAL NEGROES (2024): Underdeveloped Kobi Libii satire about a down-on-his-luck Black artist (Justice Smith) who's recruited (by David Alan Grier) to become a kind of Black fairy godfather for fretful white people, only to immediately stumble when he and his first "client" (Drew Tarver) both fall for the same attractive woman (An-Li Bogan). The concept is pointed, and the scenes with Grier take some well-deserved if rather easy potshots at films like THE GREEN MILE and DRIVING MISS DAISY, but those scenes outline a thesis that the main story really doesn't pay off; you could cut all the magical stuff completely without significantly changing the plot, which is a fairly ordinary romcom about a young Black man whose artistic and romantic ambitions are undermined by his socially conditioned reluctance to assert himself. Frustratingly, the movie's most interesting twist — which actually reframes the entire story in a completely new and provocative light — comes right at the end, leaving no opportunity to actually engage with it. CONTAINS LESBIANS? Not a one. VERDICT: Like THEY CLONED TYRONE, it's a logline in search of a script, and it accomplishes less with its premise in 90+ minutes than a decent episode of THE BOONDOCKS could have managed in 20.

THE HIT (1984): Unusual but hard-to-enjoy existentialist road movie about a pair of British hitmen — a twitchy, vaguely reptillian aging pro (John Hurt) and a cocky, naive young punk (Tim Roth) — transporting an aging former hood (Terrence Stamp) from Spain to Paris, where he's to be killed for having testified against his cohorts 10 years earlier. The target is unnervingly philosophical about it all, but the same can't be said for Maggie (Laura del Sol), a young Spanish girl they abduct along the way, intending to murder her at the earliest convenient opportunity. Watching Stamp drive young Roth up the wall with his c'est la vie attitude is mildly amusing, but the way Maggie is terrorized and brutalized throughout makes the film unpleasant to watch despite its deliberately lackadaisical pace and seriocomic tone. CONTAINS LESBIANS? Nope. VERDICT: One can see what they were going for, but the results are more distasteful than satisfying.

IRISH WISH (2024): Glossy, vacuous fantasy-romance about a professional editor named Maddie Kelly (Lindsay Lohan), who's in love with bestselling author Paul Kennedy (Alexander Vlahos) despite the fact that he's about to marry her best friend Emma (Elizabeth Tan). While they're in Ireland for the wedding, Saint Brigid (Dawn Bradfield) unexpectedly grants Maddie's wish that she, not Emma, be the one to marry Paul, which soon backfires when Maddie falls for hunky photographer James Thomas (Ed Speleers) instead. Intended as inoffensive fluff that relies more on pretty Irish scenery and Speleers' square jaw than on story or characterization, it's not entirely satisfying even on its own modest terms: Maddie's willingness to essentially hijack her best friend's romantic destiny feels meaner than the script is prepared to acknowledge (a problem that the casting of Elizabeth Tan as Emma only accentuates); a subplot involving Paul's reluctance to credit Maddie's contributions to his books raises the question of why she's still willing to work with him, much less marry him; and Jane Seymour is wasted in a pointless supporting role as Maddie's mom, whose attempts to make it to Ireland for her daughter's magically convened wedding keep ending in disaster. CONTAINS LESBIANS? Nary a one. VERDICT: Isn't Lohan getting too old for this sort of thing?

IRMA VEP (1996): Overrated Olivier Assayas behind-the-scenes drama — mostly filmed in a cinéma vérité mumblecore style that makes subtitles mandatory no matter how many languages you speak — starring Maggie Cheung (playing herself, more or less) as a Hong Kong actress who flies to Paris to shoot an artsy Catwoman-inspired remake of a 1915–1916 silent movie serial, a role that requires her to be wedged into a black latex catsuit whose designer (Nathalie Richard) would also like to get into Maggie's pants. (This is only one aspect of the rambling plot, but it's also the only part that's remotely interesting.) Highly regarded by critics for its knowing jabs at French cinema and French film criticism, but if you're not impressed with its cinephile onanism (which has a very narrow appeal even among cinephiles), it's mostly pretty dull. It only really comes to life during a voyeuristic dream sequence in which Maggie imagines herself wandering through her hotel (initially to a soundtrack of Sonic Youth's "Tunic (Song for Karen)") and stealing a necklace from the room of a naked woman who's arguing with her lover on the telephone. CONTAINS LESBIANS? Zoé (the Nathalie Richard character) is expressly into Maggie, but Maggie doesn't seem to reciprocate, so, like many things in this movie, nothing comes of it. VERDICT: If you're not a Cahiers du cinéma contributor looking to see if you were mentioned, you might need an extra cup of coffee to stay awake, catsuits notwithstanding.

SALYUT-7 (2017): Cardboard Russian adventure film about the daring 1985 Soyuz T-13 mission to try to repair the titular space station, which had gone into an uncontrolled spin after the failure of its onboard automated systems. Faced with the risk of the station crashing to Earth in a populated area, two veteran cosmonauts (played here by Vladimir Vdovichenkov and Pavel Derevyanko) managed to dock with the station, thaw out its snow-covered interior, and locate the source of the original malfunction in time to avoid disaster. The film is a technically competent fictionalization of a fairly harrowing real-world adventure, inevitably embellished for dramatic and propagandistic effect (although in the latter respect, it's no worse than FOR ALL MANKIND). Unfortunately, the quality of the effects isn't matched by the script, characterization, or acting, which are all on the level of an old-school American TV movie. CONTAINS LESBIANS? Nyet! VERDICT: Only for committed space nerds.

STUCK (2007): Stomach-churning misanthropic nightmare — allegedly a black comedy, although that would imply that it was funny — about a bitchy nursing assistant (Mena Suvari with cornrows) who hits a newly unhoused man (Stephen Rea) with her car, leaving him embedded in the windshield, horribly injured. Rather than calling 911, she parks the car in her garage and takes a taxi to work in the morning, leaving the man trapped, bleeding, and struggling to summon help. Later, she and her drug dealer boyfriend (Russell Hornsby) attempt repeatedly to murder him in hopes of covering up what she's done. Fun! The story, inspired by an actual incident, hinges on the idea that nearly every single person in the film, from the patients at the nursing home where the Suvari character works to the awful people at the employment agency where Rea has tried in vain to apply, is an irredeemably cruel and selfish monster, with the few exceptions (like a sympathetic homeless man and a young Latino boy who sees the Rea character's plight) serving mostly to prove the rule. As you might expect, it's violent, kind of racist, and definitely not for the squeamish. CONTAINS LESBIANS? No, but you'll be grateful. VERDICT: If you're in a very bad mood, you might find the film's mean-spirited nastiness cathartic, but it's otherwise an unrewarding ordeal.
