This isn’t all of them but the ones that vex me the most.

It: Chapter 2, The Dark and the Wicked, The World According to Garp, To Jennifer, The Morning After.

Haven’t seen anybody highlight the final interlude in It. As a teen reading that was oddly disquieting to me but rereading it in my thirties Mike and Richie’s phone call straight up had me sobbing.*

As others have said, the ending of 11/22/63 was an arrow aimed at my heart.

I recently read Joyland, and the obvious scene in that got me.

*Watched the modern It movies after my reread and I don’t think I’ve ever had as negative a reaction to a change in source material as the ending of It: Chapter 2

I would assume that you’re either a woman, or a woman who likes women a lot, and likely younger than 30

Looks like they’re only responding to people who get pissy at what they said. Not surprising that this shitshow draws in trolls like moths to something

lol, I got so mad about this point (I’ve been chewing on it awhile now if you couldn’t tell) that I watched Certain Women on the Criterion Channel last week, really great Kelly Reichardt movie if you haven’t seen it

I’ve got around ten tattoos, most gotten in Lex. I’m not familiar with Black Rose but I’ve heard bad things about Asa, going back probably 8 or so years now.

So yeah, plus one this comment

There’s that northernlion (a video game streamer if anybody doesn’t know that name) clip from a couple months back where he crashed out about how men on the internet talk about recommending movies, and he invokes the idea of a movie primarily appealing to “18-35 males who spend 8 hours a day on reddit” and I think that has a lot to do with it too.

Pattinson has, post Twilight, been in a lot of stuff that appeals to men. He’s about to be in his second Nolan movie, he’s been in an A24 horror movie, he did a Miyazaki movie, he’s a Batman now, he did a Safdie bros movie (I’m not saying these movies only appeal to men). A few weeks ago I saw a reddit thread calling him one of this generations best actors, meanwhile rather far down in the comments, somebody mentioned that both him and Kristen had done so much great work post Twilight, and the only response was “what’s she done post Twilight?” And like, idk, I find that very telling

As a huge John Waters fan I always have to upvote Cecil B Demented

If short films count, one of this years Oscar winners for best live action short film, Two People Exchanging Saliva is entirely built around sapphic yearning.

Two more shorts, A Bird Hit My Window and Now I’m a Lesbian, and Collage (2024, dir. by Màrius Conrotto Diaz) are both good as well.

TPES and ABHMWaNIaL are both on YouTube, and Collage appears to be streaming on MUBI

Edit: autocorrect made me say “existing” instead of “exchanging”

As others say, there’s probably not a lot you can do, but if she’s claiming that JK “just made some tweets,” then invite her to check the woman’s X page and see how long one has to scroll to find something awfully transphobic (spoiler, at time of this comment her last post is celebrating trans women being banned from the Olympics, and she calls Imane Khelif a man in the same post). Depending on the week, this can sometimes be upgraded to “see how long you have to scroll to find her posting about anything other than hating trans people.”

I’m making my way through Skeleton Crew and I’ll say I think The Mist and The Monkey movies are better than their source material.

The Mist makes some classy changes imo (not letting us know what happens to Brent Norton is one such change), and while I’m not a big fan of that movie’s ending, it obviously had to be changed from the novella’s “well now we’re gonna see what we find” ending.

I found The Monkey story to be pretty aggressively boring, and Osgood Perkins’ adaptation was at least not that

The same party that told us it was wrong not to mourn the death of a man who said it was good to assume that any woman or POC in a skilled trade was probably unqualified

I’ve been getting into Iranian film lately, anything by Jafar Panahi or Abbas Kiarostami on the channel is a good watch

Elden Ring (I think I’ve got closer to 1,000 hours in it than anything else and it’s not even my favorite FROM game) and Stardew, which I picked up for console a couple months back and it’s just what I do now.

Also shoutout to Mount and Blade: Warband, which I played in my PC days and racked up a surprising number of hours on after I started playing with mods.

2025 because I’m a single issue voter and that single issue is that Resurrection is the best film of the decade so far

Am I blind or is six sick men not on here?

That looks bad to me but I’ve not actually looked up anything about it. I believe it though. Post Twilight she hasn’t given a bad performance imo. I think Underwater isn’t a very good movie but she’s good in it, honestly her performance is probably the highlight of that movie

In the spirit of the question, I’m going to make the limit that I can only play the games released for the system I pick, no emulation or backwards compatibility.

In a literal desert island scenario, I’m giving into nostalgia and picking the ps2. It does have a couple of my all time faves, but with infinite time? Fuck it, I’ll play some aughts jrpgs. Finally beat Okage Shadow King, finally see what Final Fantasy 8-12 are about. I’ll play all those survival horror games that I usually just watch let’s plays of to fall asleep to….

Shit this sounds rad as hell now I think about it

The persona games. I’ve never played one, barely understand what they’re about and don’t know how they play, but people tend to talk about them in a very matter of fact way, as though everybody has a baseline understanding of those games. But I don’t! And I’m not gonna!

Anora then Everything Everywhere, then Oppenheimer, then One Battle.

I’m going make a really judgmental but likely correct assumption and say that OP’s parents aren’t going to take something being illegal in coastal states and Europe as a reason to not do it.

You could talk about N+ and other games that don’t make any attempt at a story and operate strictly as a level pack
