Watching some bangers as of late 🤩 finished my Americana July film fest and started Leo ♌️ directors for August. I started with the director I share a birthday with and one of my faves, Richard Linklater. Im still thinking about Easy Rider 🤯 #filmsky #filmfriday #lastfourwatched #letterboxd
Here’s the full picture, I circled the image on the right which is zoomed in to be the image above.
Best films this week are 20ty Century Women and Easy Rider. Both were brilliant and really powerful films; capturing some deep truths. I’m going into my last week of Americana movie month for July. August will be Leo ♌️ Directors 🤓 #filmsky #lastfourwatched #letterboxd #americana #films
This week’s films in my Americana film theme for July were all great. I’m noticing a theme of sociopathy, narcissism, misogyny. Even in The World to Come which was a sapphic romance, the men in it were oppressive and dangerous… 🧐 #filmsky #last4watched #letterboxd #americana
I forgot to post my #filmfriday #last4watched #letterboxd yesterday. I started my Americana film month and it’s been interesting… I’m seeing a theme of a lack of empathy, social status, sociopathy, violence, misogyny. My least favorite this week was Under the Silverlake.
#filmfriday #last4watched #letterboxd #pridemoviemarathon I’m realizing I love queer films and always have 💜 my Pride movie marathon will be coming to an end soon… such beautiful films this week, it’s hard to pick a favorite! For July my film theme will be Americana. boxd.it/ishRv
#filmfriday #last4watched #letterboxd #pridefilms #filmsky My Pride 🌈 movie marathon continues with some bangers (pun intended). I was most pleasantly surprised with Vampyres; it was scary, sexy, and what’s not to love about lesbian man-hunting vampires lol.
I thought this was dumpy’s White House lawn 🙄🤢 everything he touches turns to shit.
It’s Caturday 😍🐈⬛ I’m bummed I was supposed to go to an Honoring the Elders event but started feeling sick last night 🤧🤒 taking it easy today. I did attend a virtual somatic parts work training which was cool!
This week I watched stunning films, except one lol. Ladies First had a good premise but was not well written, it was still pretty misogynistic. The rest of the films were superb. #letterboxd #filmfriday #last4watched #filmsky Pride films have begun 🌈😍
It’s been a streak of beautiful films this week 🤩 I was pleasantly surprised with Hole in the Ground. Loved Days of Being Wild and Kwaiden; the cinematography and music were gorgeous. Kwaiden shots were like a surrealist painting, loved learning the folklore. #filmfriday #last4watched #letterboxd
#lastfourwatched #letterboxd #filmfriday For AAPI month I was in the mood for Wong Kar-Wai films. They were all beautiful in their own way, In the Mood For love and Fallen angels were my faves this week 🤩 The Front Room was the worst 👎🏽
I’m so sorry 💔 no human or animal should have to experience surviving war. War is barbaric and senseless (except WW2). I hate a black kitty just like that, you can see she’s shell shocked 🥺💔 sending peace and healing to you and your fur baby 💓💞
This week’s films: Anima had me in tears it was SO beautiful. A 15 min surrealist short with Thom Yorke, Paul Thomas Anderson; perfection. I couldn’t stand Sew Torn to the point I turned it off 😳 so I watched Persona the first time in over 20 years, so good! #letterboxd #filmfriday #lastfourwatched
This week seemed to have a theme of pretty cinematography and iconic houses/sets. The best film this week was All the President’s Men. #letterboxd #lastfourwatched #fourfilms
A little late on my film Friday, but I often need Friday to watch my 4 films for the week. My top pick for this week is On Swift Horses. Companion felt redundant. The Lost Daughter was missing something. House was a campy, Japanese version of Suspiria. #filmfriday #last4watched #letterboxd
I’m doing my film Friday early because I’m going off the grid on a little vacay tomorrow. My films for this week: I hated Killing of Sacred Deer. Woman in Cabin 10 annoyed me lol. I enjoyed Honey Don’t. Sentimental Value was the best film I watched this week. #letterboxd #lastfourwatched #filmsky
#filmfriday #lastfourwatched #letterboxd It was a shitshow, ugly week in the world, so I made up for it by watching beautiful films. #traindreams #elephantwhisperers #projecthailmary #whatdidjackdo
Candy was a really good one too, but heartbreaking. I read somewhere back in the day that he started using as method acting during that film 💔
Oops, I forgot to post this yesterday. #letterboxd #filmfriday #lastfourwatched
#filmfriday #letterboxd #lastfourfilms In the last month I’ve watched Licorice Pizza, My Old Ass, Fancy Dance, and If I Had Legs I’d Kick You.

Grateful for the beauty of this Earth. Angry that the men who rule the world want to blow all of this up. I’m so over the colonizer Patriarchy 🙄🤬
It’s International Women’s Day. It’s time to lift one another up. Turn our anger into action. Liberate humanity and the Earth. It’s time to bring down the Patriarchy/Colonization ✊🏽💪🏽
Film Friday, last four watched #letterboxd #lastfour #davidlynchseason
They want to drill oil here in our marine sanctuary on the California coast 🥺💔🤬 this was my moment of zen and meditation/prayer on MLK Day. Write here to oppose Dump’s plan to reopen drilling along the coast. www.regulations.gov/commenton/BO...
