i thought that was good, but honestly, their entire angle of “no one knows this side of the story!!” really confused/sort of irked me, because i specifically remember hearing all of that information while the trial was happening because it was in the news.

the press did initially make her seem crazy, but also that other stuff had come out, too?

i guess what i’m saying is, if i can remember all that from when i was 10, i find it weird that the doc takes this approach as if they’re uncovering some lost information, and i found it distracting.

monica lewinsky’s producing the american crime story season about the clinton impeachment so i think there is some kind of tipping point going on

all the fat jokes do not really age well but the talking foot that is a johnny carson impression doesn’t age well in a good way

it was cute and sweet and gross which is kinda what you want

I’ve watched a few films now with Saoirse Ronan and I think she’s the new Meryl Streep. But probably with an even better start.

i mean i knew because i cared about her but the general media treated her like shit and twisted the story. im all about this 90s women who got done dirty comeback arc

i also think about how lives just cant get ruined that thoroughly a lot… like the news cycle is SO FAST now, no rando stays in the news for more than a week, let alone being followed around by ALL THE PRESS for a month

all this Lisa Gerrard wailing behind The Insider is really bringing me back to a particular ~4 years in cinema and also life

Just in case any of you are wounded by the idea of The Banana Splits (2019) rebooted as animatronic murderbots as a rushed treatment to compete with another film that doesn’t actually exists yet, I have not-news for you…

It’s shit!

existenz, the 13th floor, and the matrix all came out in the same year… filmmakers were truly logged on that year

Trent Harris released a new short film and it’s pretty good.

The beginning of the tooth gun scene in ExistenZ (shit I can’t remember which letters are capitalized lol) where the guy just impulsively chows down on the plate of mystery biomass always sort of gives me a craving for buffalo wings :woozy_face:

i had to kill time before therapy but the movie is a million years long so i had to leave right when they were gonna fight with heirlooms and im gonna find the fucker online and finish it

it was my first fast and the furious movie, i like how much they dont show people getting shot and how often they remind you its a cartoon

every woman in the audience giggled most embarassed when the rock talked about his mountain body and huge dick
