I first watched Badlands a couple years ago, and I remember thinking that Martin Sheen’s character was such a psychopath. I rewatched it with my boyfriend recently since he had never seen it, and yeah, I still think he’s a psychopath! But undoubtedly a very charming one! With great style! But Sissy Spacek, for me, is the true style icon of this movie. I really love all of her looks in it. They’re the embodiment of classic, girlish, polished, quirked-up Southern timelessness. I’m forever trying to replicate her navy blue shirt, tiny white shorts, white socks and penny loafers outfit!

The whole movie is a vibe, as the kids (still?) say, but every time I watch it (lost count but it's in the double digits by now) I'm especially floored by Shelley Duvall's perfect performance as style icon Millie Lammoreaux, who transforms from an obliviously overconfident working gal to the bewildered focus of roommate Sissy Spacek's obsessive attention as the two begin to swap identities to ... someone else in the film's final enigmatic five minutes. Surely the best film by Robert Altman, who said the story came to him in a dream.

could any one stop her? misery, fried green tomatoes, dolores claiborne, titanic, the water boy, and even primary colors. i feel like the latter two have not aged well and feel like they’re stuck in time, but overall she had a really great mix of lead and supporting roles in (for lack of a better word) iconic films.
she can be so funny and over the top in a way that doesn’t derail a movie. even when she’s chewing it up, it never feels wrong. she had a way of elevating sort of schlocky material.

watched this last week and was blown away by linda manz. not only a fantastic teen performance (rare) but a shock of a performance period. she's fiery and tender despite herself. great voice. woulda changed my life to see this at 13.
worth watching just for her but also for this one scene, won't spoil, with dennis hopper & a bottle of whiskey that is maybe one of my favorite things i've seen in a film.

Anyone close to me knows that I’m really into recording my dreams and that I love talking about it, specifically how it has done wonders for my memory. I’ve been obsessed with dream phenomena since I was a kid since I’ve always had insanely vivid dreams and can honestly separate my life into chapters based on the recurring dream I was having at the time. I was really into dream journaling when I was a teenager, and then I switched over to recording my dreams in my voice memos app during 2020, but I’ve kinda fallen off in more recent years. But every morning, I try to at least recall my dream to myself, even if just an inkling of what I thought I might’ve just dreamt. And more often than not, when I go back to bed later on that night, get in my usual sleeping position and close my eyes, I can usually remember at least the general essence of the dream I had the previous night. I think that recording my dreams has really improved my memory overall. I also just think it’s really fun and interesting, even though about 70% of my dreams are stress-inducing or consist of my deepest subconscious thoughts, insecurities and fears being thrown in my face :)

The longer I live in NYC, the more I realize that I am a Southern girl at my core. I’m from New Orleans, and I probably go back there at least three times a year for at least 10 days at a time – partly because my partner and immediate family still live there, partly because I just love and miss the pure unadulterated heat. I fucking love the heat, and you know what? I really love the humidity. I can face 100% humidity with no problem – it’s actually pretty nostalgic for me. I love hot summer nights where the air is completely still and you can hear cicadas. I fucking love grits and a fresh buttery biscuit. I love Spanish moss hanging off of huge oak trees with giant branches that dip down and touch the ground. Lately I’ve been really into classic country music (shoutout Ken Burns’ Country Music PBS docu-series), old American folk, Appalachian murder ballads, and Les Blank’s documentaries set in Louisiana in the early ‘70s. Spend It All is one of my favorite documentaries and I recently watched Dry Wood – I feel deeply connected to both!

Something about when it starts getting really hot makes me wanna listen to very specific types of music: MPB, Jùjú, Highlife, Yacht Rock… but my go-to late Spring/early-Summer music vibe has been ‘90s/early ‘00s twee pop, specifically Tiger Trap, Gaze, Cub and Brittle Stars. None of these bands are new to me, but I’ve been revisiting their music a lot lately. There’s a rudimentary innocence to all of their music that really inspires and comforts me. Plus some of it just feels really punk to me – namely Tiger Trap. I love Tiger Trap’s one-and-only album from 1993, Gaze’s Shake the Pounce, Cub’s Betti Cola, and literally anything by Brittle Stars.
