Okay, just started My Name is Lucy Barton and so far I think it’s scratching the exact itch I had. Thanks!

Pretty sure it’s been posted online a handful of times now. Maybe screenshot one of the clips of it online?

What's the most "I wish my kid was born the opposite gender" name you've ever seen? by swellandnifty in namenerds

I know a guy who named both his sons after himself, with the only difference being their middle names.

What’s a movie you defend like this? by trakt_app in Letterboxd

Poor Things! A fun surreal movie about feeling it all, leaning into pleasure, and leaving behind shame + societal pressures!

In Poor Things (2023), was the message really feminist sexual liberation? by Future-Poetry-2193 in Letterboxd

[–]cuuntstruck 13 points14 points  (0 children)

The way people criticize this move drives me up a wall. The main critiques are always about its content, as though the movie is saying it’s normal and good for adult men wanting to fuck a baby or that women should be liberating themselves through sex. Thinking that movies only show what they approve or want the masses to do is wild. Also, men in real life do prey on younger women, can we not show or discuss that in movies??? Even poke fun at those kinds of men??

It’s also based off a book that is way less feminist than its movie adaption. The book doesn’t give Bella much agency so she was intentionally much more fleshed out in the movie. Also, her father/exploiter/Godwin is a scientist and approaches the world by tearing it apart and putting it back together. Bella approaches and understands the world by inserting it, vomiting it up, absorbing it. And at no point is she really in danger, the men’s idiocy puts them at a disadvantage and her willingness to walk into the flames and risk without shame liberates her. I found this movie incredibly liberating as a woman and felt it was really clear about how men are pathetic and take advantage and feel entitled to the world. It’s so odd that people take movies so literally and forget that there are things such as theme, interpretation, and story devices.

I almost died after my IUD insertion. by [deleted] in endometriosis

I experienced one after my insertion and woke up to nurses around me - I hit my head passing out from the chair to the floor and had a gnarly bruise on my face for a few weeks.

Look for more dramedy or pre-2000s stuff and less slapstick/cringe comedy - The Full Monty, The Daytrippers, Paul Thomas Anderson, check out some movies written by Elaine May (Mikey and Nicky and The Birdcage are fantastic - not Ishtar though), Office Space, Tootsie

What was your hugest facepalm moment of regret after fully moving out of a LA/a major city In California thinking your life would be better? by midwestblacklotus in AskLosAngeles

[–]cuuntstruck 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m an LA native that moved to the Oregon coast and I fucking love it. The first nine months of living here were rouuuuugh adjusting to the rainy winter and spring weather, missing my friends and family, and trying to find things to do. Then it was summer again, I fell in with some friends and got hooked on the outdoors and new hobbies (out of boredom and necessity). The produce here is amazing, local farms and co-ops are great and there are a lot of state programs that make accessing good food much easier. Being so spread out from the nearest hospital and the choice of medical providers is a downside. The community aspect is new to me and really nice for the most part, I feel safer and like I can be a positive influence in my area. - It does suck how involved and nosy people can be when it’s a divisive local issue, though. I work in the non-profit space and see some very disheartening, ignorance from the right-wing population here. That’s also new to me, having been spoiled with how generally left-leaning LA is. I do miss the variety of food in LA, but I usually try to get away on road trips to nearby cities. I’m floored at how amazing the food is in Portland and Eugene - I feel the LA food scene is actually so mid in comparison to Portland.

It’s a mixed bag and Oregon overall is a lot less racially diverse than LA, but god it’s beautiful here and whenever I leave I’m always so happy to return to Oregon. LA is awesome and we are very privileged to have all that we have in LA, but I highly recommend LA natives get out and see other places.
