To the point
(This review was originally published on July 30, 2015.) Hello and welcome back to Sapphic Cinema, the column series where we will eventually review every lesbian movie ever made. (Except Blue Is The Warmest Color. I promise you right now we will never be discussing that spaghetti-stained pile of French garbage.) This week, we return…
(This review was originally published on July 23, 2015.) Hello and welcome to Sapphic Cinema, a new column series celebrating the gems of queer film history. Of course, not all gems are created equally. Some are diamonds, some are quartz, some are things you thought were rocks but which turn out to be ossified pieces…
(This recap was originally published on August 29, 2013.) Okay so you know that scene in Orange Is the New Black when Piper gets in trouble for her sexy dancing and is thrown into the SHU? And remember how the SHU is in Serious Prison, where everything is all gray-colored and no one is getting…
Well hello there! It’s been a while, hasn’t it? After a yearlong hiatus from The Dart, I recently decided to return and use this space to resurrect some of my vast (and I do mean vast) back catalogue of writing. These are pieces that were originally posted on AfterEllen, and then erased from existence. (The…
(This recap was originally published on March 29, 2014.) Oh my God, I have missed you guys so much. And by “you guys,” I mean the characters, the actors, and most especially the fans, without whom this movie would never have come to be. I tried to promise myself that Facing the Enemy would be…
(This recap was originally published on April 24, 2013.) It’s been a tough week for Bomb Girls, what with the cancelled-but-with-a-movie-but-maybe-not news we’ve heard from the network, cast, and crew. Before we get into that, though, let’s talk about the episode itself. Given that it may very well be the second to last time we see our girls,…
(This recap was originally published on April 16, 2013.) Previously on Bomb Girls, Marco Moretti was having a Really Shitty War. I haven’t talked much about Marco’s experience because there was always something more pressing — Betty making a face or Gladys wearing a dress — but here are the facts: Since Season 1 Marco has…
(This recap was originally published on April 9, 2013.) Previously on Bomb Girls, Gladys became a spy, which we never knew we always wanted, Betty fought for her right to be the gayest lady this side of Idgie Thredgood, Kate decided to give back to the world through song, Lorna missed Bob/having control over multiple lives,…
(This recap was originally published on April 2, 2013) I’m just going to say it: this was my favorite episode of my favorite show on television right now (I get to say that because Pretty Little Liars is on a break). I come at recapping from a pretty cynical place, both by training and inclination,…
(This recap was originally published on March 26, 2013.) Hello my friends and welcome back to Bomb Girls, the only show in existence about a group of angels making high explosives. I don’t know about you, but to me this episode felt like a mug of cocoa after a long day in the snow. When…
