at this point i'd probably just replace my teenage go-to, chasing amy, with chasing chasing amy instead and then let @savrodgers.bsky.social pick the other 4. he's got more to say than i do about film anymore, unless you're VERY bored.

They've even tried to ban these women from Chess.

CHESS.

LOL I'm doing all I can to be a model citizen!

I don't know how I feel about this but I do accept it lmaooo

Deeply curious about how you'll pronounce it!

It's an email addressing me as "Suv," instead of "Sav."

Always a promising start to an email!

I've dealt with over 100 emails in my inbox today.......

Struggling with the work/WW3 balance.

The President is threatening to murder 90M people, ICE is still kidnapping folks off our streets, the economy is only working for the billionaire Epstein class, but it’s Tuesday, so you better forget all that and get to work to pay taxes (if you have a job). If you don’t, they want you to die too.

i really need to rewatch this thing

maybe tonight idk

maybe monday

thanks for being everthing, @savrodgers.bsky.social

Five star Letterboxd Review of Chasing Chasing Amy from Sheena R. They are so many things I wanna say but it feels like I have so little time. This is probably one of the greatest documentaries I’ve ever seen and it has given me a whole new level of respect for Kevin Smith which is something that I never believed was possible. This documentary is just so raw, so queer and so feminist with what it speaks on is just something I never expected to see from a documentary on a Kevin Smith movie. I felt seen as a queer person. Which I think is something that all lgbtq people want, is to be seen and understood. That’s all I can say without feeling all goopy Thank you Sav!

And, of course, CHASING CHASING AMY is available to watch everywhere if you want to see what all happened after I delivered that TED Talk.

Here’s a nice Letterboxd review about it!

The rom-com that saved my life Growing up queer in Kansas, Sav Rodgers had limited exposure to positive portrayals of LGBTQ+ individuals in everyday life. In this personal talk, he examines the influence one queer film from the 90s had on his adolescence.

Kevin Smith’s CHASING AMY was released in theaters 29 years ago today, which would affect my life in ways no one could have anticipated.

Here’s the TED Talk I gave about the movie in 2018. I look a lot different now.

The stories we are lucky to experience ultimately shape our lives. Thanks, Kev.

#letterboxdfriday #lastfourwatched #filmsky I wanna watch Project Hail Mary again

damn it’s cool that there’s a trans-owned film distribution company that’s championing the sort of true underground queer cinema that others would never touch

well looky here, it’s thursday

You should never regret making sure people know you love them.

And we are live. If you have a Criterion Channel subscription you should be able to find the series that we programmed on their main page. I hope that everyone enjoys the series and finds a new favorite.

for Trans Day of Visibility, I made a (far from comprehensive) list of films made by and/or featuring Trans people:

Yes…. Which is why I have resorted to begging

I’m simply begging EA for BioWare to no longer be a merch store and to let the devs do their jobs without bullshit benchmarks 🙏

May it provide you some comfort or catharsis!

Thanks for watching—and watching on @kanopy.com!!

Trans day of visibility and Kanopy refresh eve is the best time to watch Chasing Chasing Amy!

Man, you’re tugging at my heartstrings!

I hope your son has an easier time than I did. Getting to be himself sooner and having supportive parents hopefully eases the perennial sting of the endless cruelty hurled our way.

Thank you for taking the time to share your kind thoughts, Brent!!

Thanks for watching!!!

Not a dumb question! We spent a lot of time making sure watching Chasing Amy was not a prerequisite to understand what’s going on. I’ve heard from a lot of folks that they’ve never seen it and it wasn’t an issue. 😁

Just watched on Prime Video (it's included with the sub). Chasing Chasing Amy is so sweet (and so good)! Go watch it!

Doing as well as can be in this climate!!!
