Okokokok. Need to get organized. It can’t all be 12 books at once. (Who am I kidding? It’s usually more like 54).
My immediate #cinema watchlist (in order):
🏔️ Raining in the Mountain
🛫 La Jetée
🇯🇵 Battles Without Honor and Humility
🤥 Pinocchio (2022)
🚣♀️ Céline and Julie Go Boating
Also, could Women Talking please be showing somewhere where I can see it? TU!

Ah, La Jetée. It’s dream logic is as deft as its execution. 💕 #cinema
I’d forgotten how massively influential this photo novel was to my own filmmaking experiments back in the late 90’s. In the early naughts, I wrote (and with a friend, photographed) a photo novel of my own, complete with a unicorn (of a sort) and a werewolf (of a sort).
Post-production never happened. I was in law school, and then I was homeless and poor, and now I am shackled to a very hungry career. But the negatives exist; anything is possible.
All of the stories I tried to tell were queer and filled with trans longing, whether they were about human-sized puppets animated with the swappable souls of birds, or, in this case, the romance between an ugly unicorn and a lonely virgin.
(Well, queer or ribald musical comedies starring a mixed cast of humans, stuffed animals, and computer-animated sock puppets). #weirdgirl
