I liked Fingersmith, it's fun, tho I felt Handmaiden ended up stronger for cutting the convoluted switched-at-birth stuff

I've ALWAYS meant to watch more of Park's work (it's absurd I haven't watched Thirst yet as a vampire scholar, ffs), and this is an excellent reminder to do so

a woman in a maid costume is opening a door next to a woman in a white dress . Alt: Maid Sook-hee opening the doors for her mistress, Hideko

Fucking me up that THE HANDMAIDEN is ten years old.

Still one of my fave movies. It's got everything: con artists! queers! A dumbass heroine! a wounded femme trying to manipulate a situation that strangles her! Yearning! POV fuckery! Cinematography out the ass! Sexy bathtub scene!

Peak cinema tbh

please support @butwhytho.net --- ! they were put into an extremely unfair situation by their previous dev and need to raise funds to recoup the cost. they're one of the most well-rounded sites in terms of pop culture coverage and do some great work. especially when it comes to CN and KR games!

I think it's a movie that benefits from multiple watches--plot's pretty thin but visually there's a lot to read into.

I kinda bounced off my first watch too - mainly my impression was, "wow, literally everything i thought was unique about Buffy vampires was just Joss Whedon stealing from Lost Boys"

If you're missing Journal With Witch, might I tentatively suggest another promising josei

On why The Lost Boys stil resonates after all these years: ALEX WINTER: I think it's the most successful interpretation of all the things [director Joel Schumacherl dic well. which was fashion and music ano understanding actors and story and style and - I'm just gonna call a spade a spade - homoeroticism and sexua ambiguity and sexual adventurousness So few people really had a forwaro vision. And Joel coming from fashior really did know where things were going, so he and [costume designer Suzy Becker and [production designer Bo Welch, they were doing things that almost didn't make sense to the studic

Alex Winters: He was just a homeless kid who had run away. Typical sort of '80s story, right: Someone from a crazy, conservative part of the country who ends up running away to a warmer climate where you can survive on the street Very similar to how kids get picked up out at the bus station in Times Square. That is the way came at it. That was the world I knew coming from New York. It seemed fairly straightforward. To us, David [Sutherland's character] was kind of like a pimp. What 1 had in my head about Marko's relationship with David was he was basically my pimp and sometimes you're having a sexual relationship with that person and sometimes you're not. But, there is a very bonded master-slave kind of aspect to it and then there's a lover aspect to it. Those undercurrents are all there. They weren't something I was going to try and drive in front of the audience but they were fun to play with

Kiefer Sutherland's swaggering style and bleached 'do may have contributec to enduring audience fascination, but he recently admitted another take - the chemistry between David and Michael, "That whole scene where I catch him in the fog coming off the bridqe... I mean t's a very sensual moment!" says the actor, who still holds special affection for a film he calls "an '80s capsule". "The Lost Boys was a massive part of my life, still is."

A cut beat from the screenplay: DAVID Let go, Michael! Let go! Michael can't believe what he's hearing. He's scared out of his wits. DAVID Do it! David lets go with one hand, clings on with the other. DAVID Do it, Michael!!! David lets go. He drops from sight; vanishing into the fog below. MICHAEL Sweat streaming down his face. The final car of the train passes overhead and the noise begins to fade. Then Michael hears: laughter from the fog below. LOST BOYS Drop, Michael. Let go! It's safe! Come on! Don't be such a baby! They WHISTLE and CAT CALL and do everything they can to goad him on. All the while invisible in the darkness below. Michael lets go. He drops into the fog. His eyes widen with fright -- but -- for a moment he is buoyant -- suspended in mid-air -- floating! And then... he drops. With a WHOOSH. Like dead weight. The wind RUSHING around his ears. He loses consciousness. DAVID catches him in his arms. DAVID Almost.

If you ever find the last person alive claiming THE LOST BOYS isn't an extremely gay movie, it's so important that you laugh at him. Like a lot.

Go For It, Nakamura-kun!! – Episodes 1-2

A throwback gay rom-com in the vein of Rumiko Takahashi with an awkward, anxious lead and incredible direction by Pop Team Epic’s Aoi Umeki.

David (Kiefer Sutherland) e Michael (Jason Patrick) de The Lost Boys em duas fotos de cabine de fotos. David usa uma camisa branca com os três primeiros norpes abertos enquanto Michael está com uma camiseta preta Na primeira, Michael seja David pela cintura e pelo ombro direito enquanto olha pra cima com uma expressão plácida e David olha pra baixo com os olhos semi cerrados Na segunda, David parece estar no colo de Michael, que está com um braço no ombro direito de David e tem um braço dele em seu ombro esquerdo, os dois olham pra câmera. Michael sorri e David faz uma cara de vampiro safado

homossexualidade vampiresca

Sup chat, somehow @animefeminist.com has wound up asking me to do the Episode 1 review of Steel Ball Run, and I'm sorry.

(She's not really sorry at all.)

Look i just need people to know that it adds a whole thing where David teaches Michael how to finger (a guitar). Once they figure out the homoerotic final form of this thing it will destroy lives (I say knowing 85% of fic for the movie is "p sure he's fine actually" cope)

My paycheck was short because I was sick late last month and I am therefore short $300 to pay my rent. I appreciate every repost.

Independent anime media outlets generally do not earn enough money to survive on their own, because of a combination of:

1) Low ad revenues
2) Low subscriptions
3) Limited avenues to earn money due to industry consolidation

There's a reason why the biggest indie pubs are run by folks with day jobs

......still thinking about it

I don’t want this to be all I talk about right now but my work situation is directly affecting my health and support continues to be requested, especially to help me stabilizing my housing. Please share if you can’t spare mutual aid through monetary means: it all helps.

"QUICK how do we deal with The Lost Boys being one of the most famously Gay and Homophobic movies of the 80s?"

"Uhhhhh SAM IS GAY AND ONE OF THE FROG BROTHERS IS TRANS"

"PERFECT"

(it genuinely works p well, tho they're still figuring out how much to lean on the David/Michael of it all)

#lostboys

The LOST BOYS musical fucks severely

It looks so pretty!

This is a GREAT deal if you wanna get some extremely high-quality quality manga! I recommend The Poe Clan, The Heart of Thomas, A Drunken Dream & Other Stories, Wandering Son, Okinawa, Brain Damage....lots of great stuff to choose from!

My work situation continues to get more and more nightmarish in its cruelty. Mutual aid is welcomed right now since my job is actively trying to get me to quit so they can likely deny me any kind of compensation via unemployment. I’m in a really bad place and honestly…I can’t do this alone.

Instead of watching the terrible HP series, we suggest watching a new show coming out April 6th called Witch Hat Altelier!
