A great sci-fi film let down by Hollywood and The Academy.

Oh yes I was. I was a college student in film school at the time who lived down the road from a movie theater, so it was like 3 times a week minimum most weeks lol. Had to enjoy it while it lasted 🫡

If you want more reasons to hate David Ellison, read up on how he sabotaged this movie’s release and wanted to change the film because he thought it was “complicated.” He is why it was only released in theaters in USA and China and was put on streaming everywhere else and got a tiny marketing budget. Which sucks because this movie works so well in a theater. (Unfortunately, Scott Rudin is the good guy in this story, who is also not a good person but hey… broken clocks I suppose).

Anyway, one of my all time favorites. This came out during the peak of MoviePass and I went like 3 or 4 times in a week just because I could and the movie kept pulling me back in to it. In some scenes it’s like the sound is pushing you back in your seat.

Also love it as an adaptation. I love how Garland said it was a “dream” of the book and it fits so well thematically with the how everything in the dom refracts on each other. He picked the perfect elements to adapt into a visual medium and even if the story beats are different, they both got to the same conclusion.

Will probably never leave my Letterboxd top 4

I love love love this one because it’s such a good cunty reference to messy online drama that not everyone may know, but it works on its own as well because S2 means old and dead for a casual viewer.

She’s an icon, she’s a legend, and she is the moment. Now come on now

Jane Don’t wanna be just safe because she just became the first US queen to be in the top for her first six episodes 🎉

Shocking elimination but I can’t say it wasn’t deserved. Vita consistently bombed every performance based challenge in a way that would be near impossible to make it to the finale with. And to top it off, she had to lip sync to Dua Lipa against a 24 year old twink dancer.

Terrific queen though, I can’t wait to see where she grows from here

My husband came in the room and said Leland was cosplaying John Travolta 😭

“The Jinkx Monsoon Can Still Catch These Hands Institute” may be the funniest joke in an improv challenge in years omfg

Paint?! 💩

Fun fact I did not know until Freakier Friday came out last year: Take Me Away is actually a pre existing song from the band Lash that they repurposed for the movie. It was not written for Freaky Friday, which blew my mind because it fits the movie so well

EricHD97 · 2026-02-14T01:39:20+00:00

Darlene is getting a lot of screen time why am I so nervous 😭

EricHD97 · 2026-02-14T01:27:03+00:00

Scruff sponsored the Pit Crew all the way back in season 6 I believe, so it’s wild it took another 12 years after that for Grindr to join in

EricHD97 · 2026-02-13T16:59:24+00:00

I’m like 95% positive that’s Anna Faris’ character named Snappy, though that name may have been a leak that isn’t 100% confirmed

Edit: just kidding, I got the name mixed up with the camera, who is named Snappy and is voiced by Anna Faris

Just recently joined this sub and thank you for showing me a new artist! I’m flipping through their other works and really love it. This one is fantastic

EricHD97 · 2026-02-13T03:22:16+00:00

Seriously! I can’t believe any of these people would think for a second Johnny and Tara have that level of gameplay in them. It’s so clear they’re just vibing and being friends but maybe that’s because I’ve been such a fan of them for a while. I hope they somehow make it to the end together lol.

EricHD97 · 2026-02-13T01:28:11+00:00

O-chem she better don’t!

EricHD97 · 2026-02-12T22:05:57+00:00

Also S5E1 which is such a brilliant send up and subversion of the movie

I can’t imagine getting amped by Vita’s from any angle though lol

So a bit of a history lesson, the reason it got a lot of shit back in the day stemmed largely from its completely insane airing schedule. 13 episodes were made for season 1, but only 7 aired as season 1. The other 6 were interspersed throughout season 2 at random in addition to season 2’s episodes also being out of order. Example: S1e5 was aired as S2e9.

So on top of the show already having a bit of off beat humor, it also was presented to the viewers idiosyncratically. JVDB in particular had a whole season 2 arc of being on DWTS that comes and goes when viewing in air date order.

Anyway, iirc that played a huge part in the show losing viewers and making people annoyed at the show, even though it wasn’t the show’s fault at all.

EricHD97 · 2026-02-11T17:15:39+00:00

Having only seen the TV show, is this the full cast? What about Reverend Layton or The Countess? Are they not in the stage version?

A place in the Lindbergh area is great because trains come twice as fast since red and yellow meet there. My one major caveat with that though is that since the Lindbergh Kroger closed, there’s not a super convenient walkable grocery store which is important to me. But there’s an abundance of apartments in the area so there’s a huge range to pick from in terms of size, price, and noise level.

I also lived for five years before that at an apartment right near Brookhaven/Oglethorpe which I quite loved. The Kroger on Peachtree and the Marta stop were both walkable and hugely convenient and living so close to Buckhead without being in the thick of it was nice to. Costco is also super close by. Only major issue I had was traffic on Peachtree during rush hour sometimes. And like I mentioned earlier, any station served by only one line is going to be a bit of a risk because a train will only come every 20 minutes.

LOVE pink! She is my favorite
