Update 02/12/2022
A new week, accidentally a month after the last week, but listen... such is life.
I'm currently doing a lot of requests on Tumblr, so if you have a request burning a hole in your pocket and you'd like to send it along, my Tumblr ask is open, and anonymous asks are on!
I've had a fair few Our Flag Means Death prompts and I'm doing a few of those, but I've also filled a bunch of original ones, and I've got some for other fandoms I have my eye on! I can't promise I'll do all of them - I normally end up filling one or two out of every five or so, just depending on what immediately strikes me, but I always super appreciate when people send them in, so thank you if you have done already/if you do now!
Some media recs over the past month!
Fire Island (2022, dir. Andrew Ahn) - I knew I would love this, but God, it's gorgeous, and I love it absolutely to pieces. Joel Kim Booster is a favourite of mine and he's wonderful in this, but so is the rest of the cast - it's such an impeccable adaptation of Pride and Prejudice, but just in itself it's just a love letter to modern queer life and it made me feel so warm and bubbly and happy. It's so funny and so fucking real, I loved it. If you haven't seen Ahn's other feature films, I definitely recommend those, too - I liked Spa Night a lot, and I adored Driveways!
Pepsi, Where's My Jet? (2022, dir. Andrew Renzi) - We chucked this on just for something to watch, and I was fucking surprised by just how entertaining it is. It's a wild ride and has such a high production value for such a silly documentary - the ending is a bit of a let-down, but the whole thing is big banter. If you're looking for something to watch with the friends that's entertaining but is fun to respond to out loud and discuss as it goes on, this is the one.
Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery (2022, dir. Rian Johnson) - Who is serving cunt like Daniel Craig as Benoit Blanc? Fucking nobody, that's who. I genuinely really loved this, and I actually enjoyed it way way more than I did the first Knives Out - my only criticism is that it is too long to see in the cinema, because I spent the last hour desperate for a piss. With that said, gorgeous, loved it, I want every one of Benoit's looks. If you want more of Craig fagging it up and you haven't seen his new Belvedere Vodka ad directed by Taika Waititi, by the way, definitely check that out.
Triangle of Sadness (2022, dir. Ruben Ostlund) - It's a rich people are evil movie desperate to piggyback off the success of Parasite. I genuinely enjoyed it a lot, but that's what it is - if you're tired of this genre of film, it will likely bore you. I do think there's a like... There's a dark comedy to it, and most of all the blistering sense of almost unreality you feel in customer service when you're forced to effectively concede to the false reality demanded by and set by the guests? Which is why I enjoyed it so much. I have also been watching The White Lotus, and while I want to fuck Armond from season 1, my carnal desire for him is not remotely sufficient enough for me to recommend the show. I think it's a bit mediocre, if I'm honest, if not actively frustrating to watch.
I also watched Mudbound (2017, dir. Dee Rees) this week and that's extremely good; The Wonder (2022, dir. Sebastián Lelio) is a new release, and it's alright. I also rewatched Mannequin (1987, dir. Michael Gottlieb) tonight, which is one of my favourite movies and I fucking love it. I livetweeted it here.
I also loved the newest season of Taskmaster, and if you haven't seen Defunctland's newest documentary on the History of the Disney Theme Tune, amend that immediately.
