Perfect Blue

I’ve become a notorious being
Find my clone she’s asleep on the ceiling now
Can’t get me down
You love to hate me
I’m the perfect celebrity

This is Mayhem… the fragmentation of self, the dreamlike blur between illusion and reality, exploring what it means to be a woman in the spotlight, the threat of Stan culture… I just know it was on her vision board. 

I think 82 min is an amazing, even ideal runtime for most movies but…

Jesus, God in heaven, why’d you have to kill such a hot snatch?

Colors! Fabric!! And WIGS!!!!!!

I’ve been looking forward to this for months and it did NOT disappoint. So rich in texture, thanks to several many elements of creativity operating at the highest level: costumes, production design, sound, practical effects,  ACTING. I can’t even tell you whose was my favorite performance, everyone was THAT good. To say nothing of the script, embedded with nonstop IJBOLs and genuinely well-thought-out, inspiring themes… THIS is filmmaking. Boots. 

Shoutout Channel 3. And shoutout to Lakeith Stanfield…

THIS IS A REVOLUTIONARY FILM. The Bimbofication of Watergate and the insinuation that doing edibles stopped the Viet Nam war are what I willl be writing my thesis on. A film that centers two BFFs, weed, and The Viet Nam War is a film for me. THIS IS CINEMA. I emailed this to my history professor who knows Kissinger personally, waiting for a response. This has topped it all as my favorite film.
