"I imagined a world in which acts of solidarity between girls would engender even more girls–they would multiply through the sheer force of togetherness and lay claim to a new territory."

Burning (2018) — dir. Lee Chang-Dong
A rich and deeply thought film, mired in ambiguities, questions not quite answered in the half-light—but on another level it's very much about picking up your crush from the airport and she gets off the plane with Steven Yeun. Devastating. (spoilers under the cut, more movie thoughts on letterboxd)
Haemi is still a classic Murakami woman, and this has all the usual criticisms you could level at that. The dichotomy is in how men look at her, whether she is a disposable toy or jealously, clumsily fumbled at. But she has the great hunger, still gone unsatisfied. This is a film about young people, a shiftless, lost generation. Both Jong-su's parents are useless to him, selfish, uninterested in his life. These kids with no jobs, their elders ineffectual, stubborn, proud. Not really all that friendly. Go burning greenhouses. It's Jongsu who does the burning. A glimmer of sun off the Seoul tower, phallic, freighted with desire. Then, undressing as Haemi did for him and Ben, as the sun set, he burns Ben. Their final clinch more passionate and breathless even than Jongsu's other penetration, of Haemi. The Kalahari bushmen burning a fire from evening deep into the night, working the small hunger into the great hunger.
All these things that aren't quite there. The invisible cat an excuse to fuck, really, but leaving scat all the same. Phone calls that are merely silence. The tangerine, not willed into being but not-negated. Everything is there beneath the surface if it is not denied. It is in Panju, and also in Seoul. (Or is Ben's "simultaneous existence" the antithesis of this, all-being, total positive, both there and here, not between, not half or either but both? Making offerings to yourself, god and worshipper.) The well, remembered or created. Haemi herself, appearing as if a miracle and then vanishing just the same.
Burning burning burning, the film makes us wait so long to finally set something alight, but it is back there too, in the past, waiting behind us, beneath and around as the sun falls out of the sky into void.

“In the dawn of the language, the word ‘worm’ had a somewhat different meaning from that in use to-day. It was an adaptation of the Anglo-Saxon ‘wyrm,’ meaning a dragon or snake; or from the Gothic ‘waurms,’ a serpent;”
The Lair of the White Worm directed by Ken Russell based on the 1911 novel by Bram Stoker

anyway if you wanna read a really good piece that goes in depth on why movies are the way they are today this piece by will tavlin describes the history of celluloid and digital film production and how studios and corporations have very deliberately brought us to this point.

this piece is not without merit, besides the vague attribution of all these problems to ~cultural forces~ and the worthless suggestions of "making an encounter with great cinema an essential part of a liberal arts education" (??? does he think this doesn't happen?) and selling cheaper tickets for everything that isn't spiderman, but the whiplash of OP saying "this is so smart" to seeing the author is Ross fucking Douthat has completely pulverised me lmao

I’ll never understand why anthropomorphic animal cartoons like Robin Hood and Zootopia will go to the trouble of creating character designs that are meant to be understood as “attractive” or even “sexy” to the human audience but explicitly avoid showing interspecies romances between anthropomorphic animals. Why is THAT weird but, like, trying to make rabbits recognizably sexy-coded to humans isn’t?

i hate all of these posts that are like "i lvoe you sugar i love you flowers i love you sunshine..." or just like lists like "the beach at night, the smell of woodsmoke, hot dumplings..." or the artificial emoting of "ok but when taylor swift said 'la la blah la' and when she said 'eeble greeble' and when she said...." none of which ever conclude in anything its like. you have become psychically deconstructed by the internet. your brains have become a thin gruel of affect. you have forgotten about sentence structure. i am a hater forever die die die. if you want to make me feel anything you are going to have to work for it.
