Grab a couple friends, watch (once per week, together or separately) classics/canonicals you otherwise would never have gotten around to, discuss irl or on Zoom. Feel free to hate, but also feel free to love
There is literally no other way to get yourself to watch Jeanne Dielman, but boy-oh-boy youโll be happy you did

Made a WhatsApp group with all my film friends in it and have been using it coordinate going to screenings. It's so much fun! There's loads of little independent screenings happening where I live and some very good independent cinemas, but even if all you have is a TV you should start a film club too. This evening I'm off to an old pub that's been converted into an events space to watch The Garden by Derek Jarman ๐

a few years ago, one of my dear friends started hosting a regular movie night. we meet each monday and watch a movie together. theyโve organized a google form for all of us to pick 4-5 movies each year, and then we rotate picks and also rotate who makes dinner.
itโs quickly become one of the highlights of my week, and iโve gotten to know my friends so much better through their picks. as weโve kept going, we all get braver in picking weirder, more earnest, more depraved, more vulnerable movies.
i highly recommend!

personally, i thought it was just alright. the pacing was not my favourite in the world but the cinematography and set design was gorg. the actors did a phenomenal job with their respective roles as well. however, the plot itself was lackluster and the film overall was not probing any new or enticing questions or analyses in the grand scheme of feminist theory that hasn't already been done, and done in a more effective and intruiging way (to ME).
not to say that a film HAS to always be revolutionary, but my theory is that a lot of people have been "overrating" Poor Things and acting like it IS revolutionary partially because the public has been jaded by the majority of big films being one of four things: remakes, sequels, live adaptations of a pre-existing animation, or about the multiverse. not that these types of film are inherently bad, but when theaters are being flooded with these movies, it leaves film execs no desire to create a unique script and film as they are likely worried that original films with little to no pre-existing fanbase would not be as profitable comparatively.
however, i do think that the high praise and positive reception of Poor Things has done a lot of good by showing execs that original movies CAN be successful and the public DOES WANT THEM. i also think its great that an arthouse film is serving as a symbol to push for more original films in the future. plus, just because i don't consider it revolutionary doesn't mean someone else isn't allowed to! these are simply my own personal views so pls don't feel discouraged if u really enjoyed the movie!

been discovering methods for editing and, to be honest, mostly distorting photos in programs.... not designed specifically for photo editing....? :O hopefully some ppl find this as neat as i do:
- Audacity, which is free audio editing program; requires .TIFF file of image (tutorial, video)
- Hex editors (don't ask me what this is i am still unsure lol) such as HexEd.it (tutorial)
- Code source editors like Notepad ++ (tutorial)
as i find more of these and if anyone can recommend other programs that can edit images that aren't photo editing programs, i'll keep this list regularly updated!
