horror + letterboxd reviews

new metric for media literacy for film bros is if they understand the barbie movie.

the kens are first presented as accessories to their barbies and it's pointed out loud that they don't even have places to stay in barbieland. one of the barbies straight up asks "wait, where do the kens stay?". they're just arm candy made to look pretty and cool while the barbies run their world.

but that's fucked up!!! the film presents it as fucked up! that's why ken screams "YOU FAILED ME!" and why he is insecure in the first place because he wanted to be respected and seen as a person, not someone who only exists in relation to someone else. should he have done what he did? no!!! that's why it's part of the conflict! the root of both of their breakdowns was in their society in that the barbies are supposed to be perfect and the kens exist in relation to them! it's barbie and ken. he was a footnote. that's why barbie apologizes to him in the end and tells him he can be himself. she doesn't have to exist by some set of rules and neither does he! it's barbie and it's ken! sure, the resolution to the whole barbieland issue wasn't perfect, BUT KEN'S WHOLE ARC IS ABOUT HOW THEIR WORLD FAILED MEN. WHAT DO YOU MEAN THIS MOVIE WAS 'WOMEN GOOD MAN BAD'. WHAT ABOUT THE NUANCE

Edit: to clarify, if you enjoy ANY form of horror (such as monstrous, analog, slasher, comedy, gore, etc.) that counts as a yes! This poll is supposed to be broad. It’s purpose is to understand how many queer people (that this is able to reach) enjoy any type of horror. So even if you like one type of horror but dislike another, please click yes!

This is for a student-written article! Please reblog for a larger sample size!

Anthony Perkins as Norman Bates Psycho (1960) dir. Alfred Hitchcock

So one of the things that American Psycho – the book, not the movie – does to illustrate its narrator’s shallow materialism is devoting a lot of word count to describing characters’ outfits, except the resulting descriptions are just random mishmashes of high-class brands that any reader who’s familiar with them would recognise as something that would look clownish and absurd if you actually wore all that.

I was thinking about that, and then it occurred to me: you know what other well known work of fiction also does that?
