This movie fucking ruled.

The Amorous Milkman

lmao

A toddler whose whole thing is Mank (2020)

Actresses over 60 do too?

A dumbphone but it’s just Maps and Letterboxd

Yeah but couldn’t you imagine that role done really well by, say, Emily Watson or [frantically googles “people in their 50s”] Peoples Liberation Army Air Force Commander Chang Dingqiu

On the one hand I know that to be true, on the other this seemed like a wasted opportunity for a 50+ actress. I do really like CBalfe.

Caitríona Balfe is 45 years old.

Ironically, I love that man

oh my god this is so good

Not exactly the same but I discovered a line in one of JG Ballard’s final novels that implies that women insert and remove their own IUDs as needed, like, in the bathroom after a shower, on their way out the door, tampon-style. No one ever seems to have commented on it and it’s driven me insane.

*Doof Warrior stuntman

Eve Ensler ran workshops with the female cast members. Riley Keough married the Doof Warrior. They waged psychological warfare on Tom Hardy. Perfection.

When I see Elon Musk and Trump insulting each other I don’t think “Haha yes” I think “those men shut down soup kitchens and many babies and children died as a result”

9 of the last 12 Pulitzer winners

10 of the last 15 Booker Prize winners have been men. 8 of the last 11 Pulitzer winners have been men.

And yet things you’ve stated, particularly that there’s a perception that male voices are inherently problematic, is in line with the talking points of misogynistic ideologies.

When you frame your project as platforming voices that have been drowned out by women’s prominence in British literature there’s an implication that you’re talking about white men because POC have often gained visibility through the same inclusion initiatives that set out to amplify women’s voices

In the Bookseller article he states as fact that there’s “a perception that the male voice is problematic”. This is the same logic as the MAGA zealots who are literally (not figuratively!) deleting women and POCs bios and histories from institutions across the US.

The world of UK literary fiction, where men have won 10 of the last 15 Booker Prizes.

damn

Gia Coppola should make the Ahmed Best biopic

It’s actually soooo funny that I’m certain about three of my four @letterboxd.social Top 4s but the ones I keep alternating for the fourth spot over and over again are Children Of Men and A Goofy Movie.

This looks phenomenal!
