To the point
Alexander Hamilton: Founding Father, Rap Impresario, Probable Queermo. I fell in love with Hamilton a long time after everybody else. I didn’t even listen to it until a few weeks ago, and that is because the concept of a hip hop musical about America’s first secretary of the treasury is stupid. Even the Obamas laughed…
Y’all, I have had A DAY so I’m writing this with a beer in my hand. We’re all cool with that, right? It’s Christmas and none of us can really be expected to get through it without alchohol (preferably delivered by the boxful by a beautiful woman). I’m assuming you already know all about my…
I walked in fifteen seconds late to La La Land, but I think I must have missed the good part. Surely there was something about this movie that captivated critics and awards-givers the world over, but I didn’t see it. I was warned, of course, by friends on social media, but I blamed their cynicism…
So this is definitely not how I wanted to start. I had this whole speech I kept trying to give myself all week about how it’s ACTUALLY A GOOD THING that my first recap on my new website is for a show that was already steeped in controversy before it even premiered. But I could…
It’s obnoxious when people spell things the British way, like “colour” and “favourite” (Theatre is ok though) ABC Family should have kept its name, FreeForm is a stupid name It’s sad when people die Will Ferrell, very funny When it rains that means God’s sad Remember the Titans is a good movie Spotify premium…
You know that point in a relationship at which you realize that you cannot live without your other person, and then your mind instantly conjures a horror story in which life shook out a little differently and you never met each other at all? (For example, had I not agreed to help a girl I…
Aimee and Jaguar has been one of my most requested films since Sapphic Cinema’s inception, but it was always my position that it was off-limits. A story concerning Nazi genocide never felt appropriate to a space usually dedicated to humor. But the rules have changed since the election, in a lot of big, obvious ways…
The 2004 British drama My Summer of Love is the most tragically underappreciated movie in the queer film canon. Despite gorgeous cinematography and outstanding performances by its leads (including a young Emily Blunt), MSoL is generally left out of our “oh but have you seen” conversations. There are two factors to blame for this oversight.…
(I have the greatest respect for parents like I have the greatest respect for astronauts because to me it seems terrifying and I cannot relate to wanting to do it at all.) Partner 1: *Gestures vaguely* You know, this is great and everything, but what would make it better is– Partner 2: If someone were…
First of all, obviously, this movie will not be about Donald Trump because there is no Donald Trump in any spritual way, just a bloviating emptiness bound together by spray-tan and cholesterol. The movie will be about the Trump family, because therein lies a Shakespearean drama the likes of which will make for a movie so…
