Castration Movie Chapter iii. Junior Ghosts—Premorphic Drift; a fragmentary passage

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!!!

Full review on The Arts Fuse

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.

Mysterious Skin

Love the aesthetic here, an attempt to translate the language of an old cartoon into a live action setting. Very Stephen Sayadian without the pornography or the overt fetishism — I suppose being stinky is a fetish though if you’re a nasty freak or a gamer. But there’s just not enough of a cohesive story here, it’s more like watching someone do a one-person work-in-progress show where they have plenty of bits but haven’t figured out how to tie it…

Project Hail Mary
★½ Watched

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!
