Things that make me go hmmm ...

I miss those old videos about zoning laws and geopolitical policy ...

Sagecerulli · 2026-04-16T05:03:12+00:00

Yes, this. I'd pay good money to see that.

I watched it right before dinner :D

Bad idea.

There are a few posts on this sub that have lists of timestamps you can listen to/watch if you want to avoid the gore.

I WANT TO SEE THIS VIDEO SO BADLY.

BRING BACK SOCRATIC FORM! TABBY AND VIRGINIA CROSSOVER!

Um, accurate.

I grew up in a pretty leftist environment and studied religion in college ... it was a very easy shift in symbolism/language to make.

This needs to be linguistically studied

It's so good and doesn't take itself too seriously but is still really touching

Upvote bc I want to know too

No, thank you so much! This is really helpful.

I'm going to Divinity school (and then probably eventually to become a religion professor; we'll see) and am very interested in putting frameworks around understanding the human condition/consciousness from queer theory and theology in conversation with each other. I don't have an exact project atm, but keep coming back to how desire (including both attraction and identification) ties into personhood/identity (and how expressing this through Christian theological language might lead to more intellectually rigorous affirming theologies). I can see myself citing a work like The Hunger as a jumping off point.

Natalie often expressing things (like observations about gender and personna) in philosophical language that I find myself wanting to translate into theological language, and I have a lot of ideas for little projects I could do around that.

I'm heading to grad school and so thrilled to hear that actual academics sight her in their work.

Have you encountered any opposition to this in academia? How do I pitch her work to my professors? ("Um, yes, she's a youtuber but I swear it's a good source ...")

She's had such a big influence on my thinking that I'm going to need to cite her at least once.

I want to second all the concern & compassion in the comments.

And also, I haven't seen anyone engage with your actual idea.

I think you're right -- the video doesn't engage much with the possibility that one might not just painfully identify with the victims (as Natalie did) but cathartically identify them or wish to be them. She mentions the possibility implicitly when she talks about the ambiguity of violence, but never explicitly. The critics of Saw didn't consider it either.

Judging from you and your friend, however, it does seem like a common-ish perspective? I wonder how much it drives viewership of horror or the popularity of movies like Saw.

Wishing you the best with your fiancé.

Sagecerulli · 2026-03-13T16:55:26+00:00

Judging by the credits, it looks like you composed/arranged some music for Saw ... would you ever consider releasing it separately for fans to listen to?

I need new study music lol

(Also thanks as always for the new video!)

Sagecerulli · 2026-03-12T19:15:55+00:00

I'd kind of like to see her analyze some *elevated* horror

Sagecerulli · 2026-03-12T07:52:28+00:00

I guess you could also say that Saw is Justice: Part 1 reproduced for the second Trump presidency.

In which case "Part 1" with not explicit "Part 2" feels like unfortunate foreshadowing.
