My friend just texted me that she didn’t get the virgin suicides after she watched. Not in like a “I’m too normie youre a freak for liking it” way but just in a “I’m being honest I wished I got it but I don’t.” Same for me about James Joyce, particularly Ulysses. I don’t get it! It opens up a conversation and reminds you that we all have different brains. I love being honest!

works particularly well after watching a movie with a friend who insists on saying stuff like “film”, after someone shows you a song etc, looking at an ingredients list, a stray dog appears

I really hate when people say “you should watch this, it’s so good”. Maybe it’s my natural oppositional defiance at play, but any time something gets hyped up, I want nothing to do with it.
So I just finished watching Challengers, and yeah. It lives up to the hype. But I’m glad I came to that conclusion in my own terms, makes it easier to see a piece of work for what it is, without the influence of too many opinions.

I just watch Tarkovsky’s Nostalgia on my day off work (I’m sick) and I’ll be honest I didn’t understand a lick of it. Poetic, beautiful, this made me feel something but I don’t necessarily understand what it was trying to say or what it meant.
But is there a concrete meaning to art in general? I suggest that we try and leave behind our urge to over analyze films, something adopted from English classes in middle school, and rather adopt a feeling based approach. Rather than look to someone else to tell you what something means on the ol youtube or reddit, let yourself sit in that not knowing. How does it make you feel????

Makes you feel like you’re reading under the covers like you’re in the third grade, also good for planes!

Theres almost nothing more romantic to me than the act of kissing someone. Mouth, cheek, top of head, palm of hand, give it some thought because it’s just so damn beautiful!
