Great feelings are full of vanity, and great minds, of foolishness. — Antoine

This story was beautifully captured (and I thoroughly enjoyed the last 40 minutes) yet I can’t help but feel i missed the point? I was bored for 90% of it

Every man has your voice — Jane 

Hunter lucky asl mf has two dads I have none

Jonathan: Why do you let yourself in for this kind of abuse? Walk out. Leave me. Please leave me. God's sake, I'd almost marry you if you'd leave me.
Bobbie: You call that abuse? You don't know what I'm used to. With all your carrying on, to me you're a gift.

⏤͟͟͞͞🎾 this movie entered my life during a very strange time —it struck something unspoken, maybe even unprocessed, in me. I cried so much and heavily connected with this. Ann-Margret as Bobbie is unforgettable. Her performance is both devastating and quietly resilient. She represents so many women yearning for love, as profoundly as her. The quiet pain, the compromise, the way she tries to hold on to some shred of warmth while drowning in someone else’s emotional neglect— Bobbie BABY STAND UP. There’s a softness in her that’s constantly being pushed aside, and yet she still stays. 

Carnal Knowledge isn’t just a portrait of toxic masculinity or fractured intimacy—it’s a mirror held up to the unspoken emotional labor that so many women silently carry. I LOVE this shit (and I haven’t watched challengers but is this what it is??)

you killer. I’d rather face a thousand crazy savages than one woman who knows how to shoot. — edgar

two roommates slowly morph into each other while fucking their pregnant landlord’s cowboy husband but its okay because they all come together in the end <3

dreamy, fragile, and oneiric — a movie so beautiful I thought it was a pastel painting.

Well made and informative

Now this is acting.

1. Good animation style 
2. Gangster granny
3. Swirly mustaches 
All I need, count me in

didn’t enjoy two hours of molière and his fuck ass mustache

Emma Bovary the woman you are

French film watch

Cute ending, not my fav

Watched for French film class. Heartwarming story about the joy of Christmas and its power to bring people together

Go suck dick with your mothers in hell! You’re all ugly
Security: sighs troubled youth

90 minutes of pure tension, chaos, and beauty packed into black-and-white brilliance. The camera work is wild (that rooftop shot?? I literally replayed that in awe). One of those films that sits with you long after the credits roll.
I didn’t know the Narcos intro was inspired by the opening credits of La Haine, one of the many reasons to love this film. That remix of Fuck the Police with Edith Piaf is mad gooood— top soundtrack imo.
Astérix offering them a line of coke as if it was a glass of water when they go to his apartment had me crying. Perfect amount of humor love love loveee

Italy so crazy for keeping delitto d’onore in law until 1981. Daniela was on her Hot Girl shit. Ikk she was jamming to Wanna Be by Meg & Glo during her whole affair. 

He don't wanna be saved, don't save him
'Bout twenty missed calls, he faded
White boy wasted, Channing Tatum 
He don't wanna be kept, don't keep him
I don’t get left, I’m a leaver

Used to be my shitt, I wanted her dress so bad

late night watch at the theater :3

Nothing better than watching a horror movie at the theater <33333

Ykw, hell yea! sometimes you gotta let it out and have a roast battle with your cell mate

Crazy that the possibility of this technology is only a few decades away, if anything

I both hate and love how real black mirror episodes feel

He was as real as the cuffs, as the dog, and as the eclipse 

This movie is critical underrated. Real horror

I’m literally grumpy??
I love this animation style so bad, super nostalgic

This felt like those early 2000s novels ab hs/middle school (e.g. The Babysitter Club, Judy Moody, Amelia’s Notebook)

you cannot have it both ways. a dancer who relies upon the doubtful comforts of human love can never be a great dancer. never. — Boris

𓂃 ࣪🩰˖ ִֶָ ೀ  the film explores the intense conflict between personal ambition and romantic love, and it does so in a way that still feels strikingly relevant. Victoria’s willingness to pause her career for her husband—while he hesitates to make the same sacrifice—highlights the gender dynamics of the time. The film’s portrayal of her deep love for Julian was depicted masterfully and enhanced the gravity of her ultimate choice; her career over her lover.  
The central ballet sequence is absolutely mesmerizing— visually stunning yet ominous in tone. The use of Technicolor is breathtaking throughout;  gracefully vivid. (why don’t films look like this now????) 
A beautifully tragic film that lingers with you— visually and emotionally.

Can’t believe all I needed to get sentimental was 34 mins about a balloon

I loved the relationship between Ruth and Martin— it was so sweet and ive. Martin truly believed in Ruth and always encouraged her to follow her ion, even when the world was against her. Their partnership felt like a true team, and it was beautiful to see that kind of love and respect. Ruth’s final speech gave was immensely powerful, emotional, and a reminder that the fight for gender equality is still ongoing today. RIP Ruth Bader Ginsburg—your legacy lives on.

Hey! I hate to bother you but I love your podcast 

A++ cinematography and acting
yessica is such a powerful and resilient character— her strength in the face of relentless abuse is both heartbreaking and inspiring. this masterfully offers an unflinching and deeply human portrayal of abuse, not just as an event, but as a lived experience that shapes identity, relationships, and survival. it depicts the different responses to trauma without exploiting the subject matter.

Minions x Orange is the new black x Musicals ft Sofia Vergara

If there was no drama i would die to live like this

FUCK CHRISTOPHER LEE WATTS

ohhh brotherrr this guy stinks get him outta here

All the bi sexuals clenched at the thought of being associated w him

Well made just not enough of Dahmer’s real words were played. While repetitive, I enjoyed the perspectives it offered.

He’s such a faker ew

Fly high little angel

Lana del Rey ahhh title

This is actually insane
A whole family is so crazy

Watching things happens in real time is surreal. I recall when she first went missing and hoping so hard she’d be found alive and well. What a tragic story. RIP Gabby

What’s so crazy to me is the lack of charges?? get his parents!

Lily Collins and Zac Efron deliver phenomenal performances—seriously, chef’s kiss. The title alone is chilling, but what truly captures the evil is the film’s ability to translate Ted’s charm and manipulation. Watching Liz’s perspective, and how she saw him before the truth unraveled, adds a haunting layer to the story. So much has been said about the Bundy murders over the years, but this film manages to offer a fresh, gripping angle. Really well done.

Shout out to my gymnastics phase

I rlly connect w that interrogation scene (forcing her to pu receipts)

I don’t get it
