just uploaded my review of solarpunk sci-fi novel "the terraformers" by annalee newitz. highly recommend. you can watch my review in video form on my youtube channel or read the written version i've uploaded to my blog section here on lavishmade. yakokeeee 💚💚💚

Caught this at the local underground theater on a Monday with a crowd of maybe two dozen. This movie demands to be seen with jovial company. I had a blast. I could criticize the occasional moment that tried my patience or made my eyes roll, but there was always an insane moment of hilarity in the next moment that made me forget.

Consistency is louder than confidence.

How can a caricature of such professed creative endowment -- proven, in my opinion, by his music and fashion, which I rather liked -- be so uninspired in the execution of his own 'Opus'? I'm afraid that a run of the mill slasher flick has more ingenuity in its bones than this. Also, how does a guy whose Wikipedia page is literally just 2 sentences get a director's chair with A24 and John Malkovich?

I listened back to the Cinematic Schematic podcast episode on this (hosted by 2 Oklahomies), and they compared this favorably to Longlegs, suggesting that while both films had a disappointing reveal, it worked better in Weapons. I actually prefer how Longlegs did it, tbh. And while we're comparing, I also think the child/parent dynamic and escalation into camp was better in Cobweb, but it seems folks panned Cobweb, if they saw it at all.

This is so beautiful, I had to share. “Homesick: A Plea for Our Planet by the late Andrea Gibson
