'babygirl' has been out for two weeks, criterion channel is doing a nicole kidman retrospective... nicole kidman is IN in 2025! i love to see a fellow gemini get her flowers...
i just watched MARGOT AT THE WEDDING (what a weird, uncomfortable movie) and earlier last year watched her in lulu wang' series EXPATS.

Nicole Kidman made two movies in 2004: Birth and The Stepford Wives. I lose entire hours thinking about what an iconic flop era that was. A big glossy studio remake that was tested and re-tested into a new ending, but it still has a some sharp edges; an utterly strange, moving story about a boy walking into a woman’s apartment and saying he’s her dead husband reincarnated. The other girls just were not doing it like her.

saw it yday by myself, havent read anything, and only talked to one friend abt it so far, but initial reaction: i really liked it. at first i was kind of ”yawn white feminism” “yawn voyeuristic dom fantasy” but i liked the grayness of it and how clumsy their sub dom relationship was at first. that felt honest and funny. and though i guess the sex was important to the movie, it wasn’t really about that. ultimately, it seemed that puritanism and corporate feminism and the masking it encourages became the villain. and that i can get behind. i look forward to watching it again or hearing from others and seeing how my perspective changes.
also i’ll watch nicole kidman in anything really and the shots of harrison dickinson in the tank w the little gold chain is my kinda female gaze.

a lot of these are not that critically acclaimed but they are still really fun watches!
1. SAVING FACE (2008): it is a really touching film which is set in flushing ny, it is centred around a young Chinese woman and her exploration of her sexuality. surprisingly a very easy watch but also very heartfelt.
2. FRANCES HA (2013): a bit basic but still amazing, the main character which is played by Greta Gerwig navigates feeling lost in her 20s. me and my best friend quote this movie all the time.
3. COOL RUNNINGS (1993): i grew up with this movie always in the background, it is such a classic. very funny premise: based around a jamaican bobsledding team. very lovable characters, it is a comfort watch 100%.
4. SAVE THE LAST DANCE (2001): it is def a guilty pleasure watch, it's not critically acclaimed but when has that ever stopped me. great soundtrack, vibes overall are so comforting. the storyline is very predictable but like idc.
5. 50/50 (2011): as much as i don't like joseph gordon levit, this movie is so funny and heartfelt.
6. SHE'S THE MAN (2006): when i was 14 i had to run a play in my class and we got assigned shakespeare's twelvth night, and my teacher said to watch this movie. it is such a funny movie, again quite a guilty pleasure watch but so good.
7. INTO THE WILD (2008): this rec is quite film bro but the true story it is based on was a hyperfixation of mine for years. it is a dramatic retelling of the life of chris mc candless (made my dad cry which is not an easy feat)
8. UNE FILLE FACILE (2019): set in cannes and follows two cousins. speaks a lot to female relationships and may be my fav on the list. i won't spoil anything here, i just love it and you should watch it (it is also very beautiful)
9. THE HAND OF GOD (2021): set in 1980s napoli, follows a boy and his love for football as well as his complicated family life. such a gorgeous film

On a friend. On a coworker. On a stranger. Watch from afar and daydream or engage and find out and get your heart broken. People are beautiful... and no matter your feelings, it will pass!!!

not in a creepy way or with things containing family or personal stuff. just in a documenting my slut era way. hannah horvath for the plot type way. keep them for yourself and journal with it later.

stop going to Starbucks or McDonald's! delete X/Twitter and start posting on here or on Bluesky instead! stop legally streaming HYBE or SM Entertainment or any K-POP companies that refuse to see their artists as humans worthy of rights in the workplace! switch from Spotify to Apple Music or any other service that pay their artists more! we have so much power why do we forget
