Shocked by critical enthusiasm for the cheerful, facile, sickly-sweet
Club Kid, which—thinking back to myself as a starting-out
movie-lover—would have made me rush out to see it and come out feeling
deceived and indignant, sure that the future had already passed officialdom by.

Padme’s medical droid: She just lost the will to live.
Me (there for some reason): Wait, what? That’s not a thing.
Droid: Good catch—You’re right, my first diagnosis of “lost her will to live” was incorrect. She actually had a massive cerebral hemorrhage.

You can tell she really fucking hates republicans, which is more important to me than any single policy position she could’ve taken

how they did this on tv in the 90s is beyond me but like I feel like if they tried to do this today it would look so ass
Modern writers are really into this format of paralleling a contemporary (even amateur) historian and a period story, but I don't often see why. Seems like straightforward dramatization of their own research process.
“La Bola Negra,” a new film by Javier Ambrossi and Javier Calvo, dramatizes gay repression and liberation across three interconnected stories. At first, the year is 1937 and viewers are thrust deep into the Spanish Civil War, where a Nationalist soldier and a wounded Republican freedom fighter exchange furtive glances. By the end, it’s 2017, and a Madrid-based historian need only look to Grindr to satisfy an urge. The movie “wants to be a sweeping historical epic of gay longing—a film about what it means to be a man who desires other men in times of war and peace,” Justin Chang writes. Instead, the directors have produced “a film that insists, arrogantly and aggressively, on its own monumentality”. Even compelling performances from Glenn Close, Penélope Cruz, and Lola Dueñas fail to rescue the extravagantly overwrought film. Read Chang's full review: newyorker.com/culture/the-cu…
Another advantage of them losing Texas, South Carolina, and Mississippi is they are totally demoralized. There is no silent majority coming to save them and now they know it.
