Aaaannnd we’re back. Apologies for the long wait on this one, I’ve been out of town for a bit recharging my batteries and whatnot. Let’s get back to my slow slip into insanity.

Movie Recommendations

since quarantine started, I think I’ve watched more movies in the past three weeks than I have in the past 6 months. here’s some of my favorites

The Lobster (2015)

dir: Yorgos Lanthimos

available on: Netflix

if your looking for a movie that’s going to make you think beyond what you are given, this is it. Facinating concept, executed well, beautifully shot and gripping ending.

Her (2013)

dir: Spike Jonze

available on: Netflix

One of my favorites I saw during this time. Thoroughly engaging through its longer runtime and stunningly done. Great performances by all invovled.

Booksmart (2019)

dir: Olivia Wilde

available on: Hulu

Shocked me with how much I enjoyed it. If you are looking for an upbeat, feel good, and funny movie, I reccommend it. 

Boy (2010)

dir: Taika Waititi

available on: amazon prime

My favorite movie ever made. Taika Waititi is a genius. Mixes emotion with humor very well. Beautifully done.

What We Do in the Shadows (2014)

dir: Taika Waititi/Jermaine Clement 

Please watch this if you want to laugh. One of the funniest movies I’ve ever seen with somehow having a group of characters where you like them all.

Submarine (2011)

dir:  Richard Ayoade

I don’t have much to say since I haven’t seen this movie since 2013, but I remember being infatuated with it.

The Way Way Back (2013)

dir: Jim Rash/Nat Faxon

What I believe to be an underrated movie. 

Nightcrawler (2014)

dir: Dan Gilroy

available on: amazon prime

Watched this days ago and still can’t decide on my feelings about it. Gripping and deeply unsettling. Do wish there was more of a backstory on the main characters part.

Moonlight (2016)

dir: Barry Jenkins

available on: netflix

This movie is beautiful. Everything got to me after the final cut.

Bo Burnham: Make Happy (2016)

dir: Bo Burnham, Christopher Storer

availabe on: netflix

Now this is a comedy special. Since watching it when released, I haven’t stopped thinking about it. One of the smartest, most thought provoking pieces of film I have ever seen. It truly sticks with you even after you finish. Plus, it’s very funny.

Chronicle of a Summer (1961)

dir: Jean Rouch/Edgar Morin

Watched for a class and was stunned by how much I was enamoured with it. Follows ethnographers asking the question, “are you happy?”

Skeleton Twins (2014)

dir: Craig Johnson

available on: Hulu

this movie was great. shocked by their acting, to be quite honest. loved it

Shaukaush (passion)

I like big boys,

itty bitty boys

Mississippi Georgia boys,

inner city boys

I like the pretty boys with the bow tie

Get your nails did, let it blow dry

I like a big beard,

I like a clean face

I don't discriminate, come and get a taste

From the playboys to the gay boys

Go and slay, boys, you my fave boys

Me: How does it feel to hold something that was once part of you but never again will be? Do you feel a tiny moment of grief? Of wonder at your body? Of nostalgia? How does it feel to grasp one of the planks of your own ship of theseus?

Him: Licky licky spinny feather
