i’ve heard people say it both ways yes
i know nothing about it besides the fact gay people like it
its, like, “what if we did bog standard surrealism but made it transfem” and of course X.com ate it up but im a hater
i have seen enough of i saw the tv glow to know that i will love it when i’m mentally well enough to watch it. Which is Not Now
like oh yeah here’s a film about how vicariously transitioning through kids shows will ruin your life. a thing which you Did.
as such i am in no position to judge the movie
It’s important to go to apartment parties and read your measure theory textbook to drunk people
While you are entirely sober
They love me at parties I’m the best at parties
NYAAAAAAAAAAAAA SO TRUE
While the amount of alcohol you have drank could be put into an arbitrarily short shot glass…
anyway marissa is the only transfem who thinks that emilia perez is a good movie,
Well. Arguably not entirely, I was handed a drink with 6 shots in it. But I drank it quite slowly because I had just made myself sick eating oreos
Sufficiently so that I felt nothing. I do not think it had any impact on my measure theory decisions
Some of those people were going fucking Wazza mode I’m going to be honest.
it’s almost like it was a college “party”
True!
i honestly really dont tend to like Movies About Transgender. Cis writers, trans writers, Cis Actors, Trans actors, none of them really do it for me because, especially now, it feels like a bit of a storytelling crutch.
this isnt my qualm with I saw the TV glow, my biggest thing is that it lost the a24 coin flip for “Will this be the best and most memorable ending ever or will it fall flat in trying to be that” and I felt like none of it got tied together.
Still worth a watch for the rest of it but looking back i think im unsatisfied
yeah i mean that is fair. we have to Live Our Lives, not all of us are going to get something special from seeing these experiences on the silver screen, y’know?
the problem with packaging the Trans Experience into movies as a format specifically is that it’s very hard to convincingly make an ending, because being trans is so much about the progress and it’s hard to come up with a convincingly happy ending, only endings in dreary tragedy
