#we need john waters to come back and remind us all what queer cinema looks like#i mean i hated the book so idk what i expected#also it looked so… cheap? so many amazon originals look cheap? what’s with that?#people saying that it’s just a silly rom com can fuck off too like if the author chooses to set their book in that political context then i#think it’s 100% fair game to point out the romanticisation of the british monarchy AND the completely deranged depiction of the democrats as#such a diverse flag-waving kumbaya-singing group#the way that all the female characters exist to ship the two gay men soooo hard is also. embarrassing.#it’s fanfiction! that’s literally what it is!#and that may be fine in an alternate universe where cinema as an art form wasn’t dying a slow painful death u know#i haven’t been this angry about a film since the whale and even the whale was better than this#;txt
