saw it yday by myself, havent read anything, and only talked to one friend abt it so far, but initial reaction: i really liked it. at first i was kind of ”yawn white feminism” “yawn voyeuristic dom fantasy” but i liked the grayness of it and how clumsy their sub dom relationship was at first. that felt honest and funny. and though i guess the sex was important to the movie, it wasn’t really about that. ultimately, it seemed that puritanism and corporate feminism and the masking it encourages became the villain. and that i can get behind. i look forward to watching it again or hearing from others and seeing how my perspective changes.
also i’ll watch nicole kidman in anything really and the shots of harrison dickinson in the tank w the little gold chain is my kinda female gaze.

something about the tight shots and the environment made me feel calm.The way they were able to make a very surface level story line feel so deep is something i didn't expect also i particularly liked those little conversations they have.

my profound attachment to this movie is probably something i should unpack with a therapist... nonetheless, it is absolutely nasty, creepy, and reminiscent of all the aspects of girlhood i struggled with the most. u should definitely check it out :)

With my visiting older relative because I found out she’s Chalamet-pilled after taking her to see A Complete Unknown (do not really recommend but it did make me inexplicably horny despite being such a bland movie but maybe it was the guest-hosting-induced involuntary celibacy) and she is culturally impoverished so I had to get something of some substance in. On New Year’s Eve she made us watch Holidate despite the fact that she had already seen it and she told us the entire plot during the first ten minutes then proceeded to explain everything that was about to happen throughout the movie. Luckily there wasn’t a lot to spoil there and the viewing experience could not have been worse to begin with. Have yet to watch Babygirl which is unjust but I will remediate this. Apologies for the stream-of-consciousness tangent I’m still processing

the shell makes the snack. the little cracking sound as it snaps apart in your fingers is almost worth it on its own. i love sharing them (my mom and i used to do this often growing up) and watching them pile up. it’s messy, but not too messy. it’s fussy, but not too fussy.
i like the taste too.

yesterday, my family had collard greens & black eyed peas, a traditional new years meal to bring good luck, prosperity, etc.
i‘m realizing for the past couple of years i’ve had a tradition of reading books w philosophical themes at the top of the year. i’ve done this somewhat unintentionally, but i think moving forward it’ll be an intentional undertaking. this year’s is night vision by mariana alessandri. past years’ include dinosaurs by lydia millet, song of solomon by toni morrison, and more i‘m blanking on rn.
