265. Friends And Family Christmas (2023)
#friends and family christmas#friends and family christmas (2023)#2023filmgifs#my gifs#that was almost the perfect sapphic Christmas romcom#that i've been waiting for#almost except for a few quibbles#but otherwise so much fun#and with decent technical craft#and Hallmark putting music in every scene#or maybe i just heard it this time#cos i had my earphones in#what a relief#it was so heartwarming#i'm so happy#stupid bloody title tho#could they not think of anything else?

Every Film I Watch In 2023:
259. Doctor Sleep (2019)
#doctor sleep#doctor sleep (2019)#2023filmgifs#my gifs#that was wonderful#such an excellent clever and sensitive adaptation#of such an important healing and deeply personal novel#i knew Flanagan would get it right#and even with the changes he made to the ending#i understood and accepted why he did#this ending is frankly what i expected from the book#but King was much kinder and much more focused on the healing#Flanagan chose to focus on justice for Wendy#because god knows Kubrick fucked her over completely#and i will never forgive him for that#so my fave line from the book had no purpose in the film and i got that#such fantastic well considered visuals#it was long and i loved every bit of it#it felt so well paced and true and faithful#and if Katie Siegel wasn't pregnant#she would have totally played Rose The Hat#i just know it#Rebecca Ferguson was amazing#everyone gave such good performances#and i loved the use of the score#i've been too afraid to watch this ever since i read the book#cos i was terrified of seeing Mrs Massey#but Flanagan got me through that with a sort of immersion therapy and i love him for it#this is why i watch horror#to look steadily upon the bad thing and survive

240. It's A Wonderful Knife (2023)
#it's a wonderful knife#it's a wonderful knife (2023)#2023filmgifs#my gifs#yeahhhhh that did not work for me#it really never recovered from the imagery#of a person in a white hood killing a Black person#and then the plot totally forgot about that Black person#and that was not what i wanted man#i would have written this so diferently#i wanted it to be so different#but Justin Long was wonderful#but then when is he not

236. Krampus (2015)
#krampus#krampus (2015)#2023filmgifs#my gifs#tw: horror#it's 2 Dec and so the Christmas films begin#no it won't just be Christmas horror#sadly not so many Christmas horror films that I'm actually interested in#too many damned slashers#which bore me to tears#give me the Christmas supernatural horror#that's my shit#and too little of that around#luckily i love Michael Dougherty films#and he did not disappoint#i just love his visuals and his sense of humour so much#it's just as dark and grim and fucked up as mine#and his visuals are as gorgeous as i want#it's an actual delight to make gifs of his films#cos you brighten them up and there's all this detail that literally comes to light#whereas other films you brighten them#and it still looks like shit#but no his films have texture and interesting detail#three out of three films i've watched of his now#and i've loved every one#not much characterisation here#but that's okay#it's the actual story and its dark sensibility that i enjoy so much#and how fucken hawt is that krampus tongue#fuck yeah

277. Modesty Blaise (1966)
#modesty blaise#modesty blaise (1966)#2023filmgifs#my gifs#one of the few Dirk Bogarde films#i had left to watch#and i had been puttting it off#because i knew i would hate it#and i wuz right#i did hate it#but as uzsh Dirk's performance was worth the suffering#he was so pretty and so camp#and surprisingly sweet#as part of the whole spy parody thing#which bores me almost to tears#everyone else was awful#and the craft was surprisingly clumsy#expected better from you Jack Hildyard#almost tempted to gif young Terence Stamp#but decided nothing oughta sully the perfection of Dirk#he snatched his own wig i love it#but yes the production design was fabulously garish#i enjoyed its excess#even though it made me wanna throw up#and yeah like i wasn't gunna gif Dirk winding wool#for my own yarn purposes#honestly the shit i watch for the Arian men i love#contrary bastards

271. The Cutting Edge (1992) -- a rewatch
#the cutting edge#the cutting edge (1992)#2023filmgifs#my gifs#man i was obsessed with this film as a teenager#but then i think a lot of us 90s girls were#and now i see why#it's cos our female lead is unapologetically competitive and skilled#and they're total equals in that respect#she's in no way punished for being driven and ambitious#even though a few names are tossed around at the start#and lookit that last gif#he loves her FOR that competitive edge#of course that was irresistible to us as 90s teenage girls#even if we didn't realise it at the time#also lookit Terry O'Quinn with hair omg#and Roy Dotrice waaaat#god i have such a type#both lead are exactly my type#no wonder i am the way i am#white people with dark hair and blue/green eyes#gah

202. Sitting In Bars With Cake (2023)
#sitting in bars with cake#sitting in bars with cake (2023)#2023filmgifs#my gifs#i didn't enjoy the first act of that at all#it felt so shallow and silly#but then once things got serious i was really into it#and also omg that's Odessa Adlon#i mean Odessa A'zion#there was something about her that seemed so familiar#and no wonder#gosh i am so proud of those two kids#no idea what the third is doing#but i'm sure i will at some point#really i only watched that for Yara#but it was quite wonderful#once i got past the first act#except how come no one had allergies or were coeliac or whatevs#not everyone can have cake#even if it is free all the nasties
