I've been doing a lot of rewatching lately and it's put me in such a good mood. It's so nice to watch movies you already know you like.

In a World..., Bend It Like Beckham and Clueless were recent rewatches. Also Bright Star which was a mistake. It's a stunning movie but oof too sad to watch right now.

I have always hated the creepy ex step brother plot.

And since he annoyed me in that - he annoyed me In Romeo and Juliet lllol

Like can’t even remember when I started liking Paul Rudd, but I do 😻

Bright Star is such a stunning movie, I haven't watched it in ages though.

sucks lovebirds won't get to be in a theatre >:( i'm kind of waiting for the reviews but i'm all about more romance, esp starring poc, give it 2 me
i mean i hate bad romance moves/comedies but when they're good they really hit, which is why we need more than one a year so we can get better quality odds. i know netflix has been putting out a lot but it's pretty toothless stuff imo

other movie news: mubi now has a "library"!!!!!!!!!! https://mubi.com/library
ie a big ass selection that doesn't drop off the face of the earth after a month. god finally, i'm doing a free trial but for this i might pay.

the last film i saw wasn't some georgian neo realist mubi movie though, it was Blinded by the light and I really loved it and found it tremendously moving. i cried so much? it just really captured what it's like to find salvation in music as a teen. and it introduced me to this tremendous because the night recording. i knew he wrote it but i had no idea he'd done his own version

Oh man, I loved Blinded by the Light (and also cried so much)!! I've always loved Bruce, and escapism into music as a theme is so relatable. I hate that it flopped. :/

THE PICTURES AT THE END ;____________________;

the public has no taste as usual, but i'll give that it wasn't an easy one to market. it felt a lot like a film from the late 80s/early 90s golden age of diverse british drama before everyone got posh and boring, not helped at all by actually being set in the 80s. literally my favourite era of filmmaking tho

Love BRUUUUUUUUCE!

And the main kid and his friends were so cute

well inheritance is already up on t*rrent sites so i'll download that.

i recently finished superstore, started RHONY, and a k-drama called black. i don't mind subtitles but i find i'm so addicted to multitasking that i can't sit still to just watch the show, even though it's interesting.

Sucker for What Lies Beneath the Perfect Family stories so heeeey.

Last film I watched was Rafiki!
