Full commentary (alongside The Serpent’s Skin) on The Arts Fuse
The fact this is so clearly Louise Weard’s response to Envy/Desire. Even funnier to watch a week out from Bryon-gate. Everyone in this situation is wrong!!! Don’t go home and look at American Eagle ads! Avalon Fast 2026 MVP! Everyone get more empathetic right fucking now!!!
Likely the best film adaptation you’ll see this month about BDSM antics directed by a generational benefactor of British wealth, and only the second best film releasing this week about two gay guys and their dysfunctional relationship. The real fujo bait offering of February 2026 goes to Matt Johnson. Good effort though Mr. Lighton. Let’s keep making Harry Melling do gay shit to piss Rowling off.
Nice of Araki to make Mysterious Skin for straight people. I ache for the version of this movie where Kat’s mom is played by Sheryl Lee and not Eva Green putting on a Transatlantic accent and doing whatever the fuck that was!
Completely reconsidered what kind of filmmaker I thought Robert Bresson was in the first minute. He should have done more beheadings and outrageous blood spurts and less hand stuff in his movies, sorry guys! I know exactly what he’s doing here and how considered, mannered, and intentional it all is but I do yearn for my baser pleasures! Arthurian legend really is all about some messy ass bitches.
Close Encounters of the Soy Kind. A movie made for the “let people enjoy things” crowd to beat you into submission with. I’ve seen multiple comparisons to 2001 — are you out of your goddamn minds!!!!!??? Nobody is allowed to criticize Sinners for having “too many endings” anymore after this. What a fucking slog. Castro shouldn’t have stopped short at just taking Grandpa Lord’s plantations away.
I love this version of Cinderella, she's a dirty little gremlin who runs around shooting crows with a crossbow and she calls the prince an asshole. The caucasity of this bitch! We have to stan!
