i watched this in february and i thought this film was super interesting! i think it's a very important film for representation of black queer women (for the time period) as well as its themes of hollywood historically forgetting black actresses, friendship, and romantic relationships. there were a few aspects of the film that i didn't like, such as how cheryl (the main character) basically prioritized her relationship with diana over her friendship with tamara. but overall i think it's an important part of queer canon :)
a bunch of lesbians hanging out in the 90s and living and talking about movies and their lives; gotta be one of my favorite film genres. co-written by guinevere turner, who also stars in The Watermelon Woman, another cornerstone classic of the genre.
it’s a recommendation from a film school best friend, and I feel like this film not only dissects womanhood, but also shows how a gay boy like me, being surrounded by women, felt so comfortable and warm :)
i know this isn’t a new concept but i went to the movies on my own for the first time today (i saw “civil war”) and i genuinely enjoyed it :D you get to take your time getting ready and when to show up at the theater and you can get your own popcorn… a very fun movie experience (especially if the theater is mostly empty :D)
last week i bought a costco chocolate cake because i felt like it, and it was so good and it brought me so much joy. sometimes one needs to eat cake for breakfast. and that’s okay.
i've been going on walks recently instead of going to the gym (i keep getting sick after going to the gym for some reason..) but i find it so peaceful, especially now that it's warmer and the flowers are blooming outside :D
