- RT @psychokinesis23: 어쩔 수 없다. 레즈비언을 제외한 퀴어들은 트위터에서 더욱 위태로워졌고 페미니즘과의 거리두기를 통해 본인들의 안전을 최우선으로 지켜야 할 시기다. 정체성을 용서치 않는 다수와 싸워 이기기는 어려운 일이니까. 5 hours ago

Tommaso (2019) ☆☆☆(3/4): A little playful piece by Abel Ferrara

Endless Poetry (2016) ☆☆☆1/2(3.5/4): The wild second chapter of Jodorowsky’s life
“Endless Poetry”, which is supposedly the second part of Alejandro Jodorowsky’s film autobiography, is as wild, bold, and weird as you can expect from his work. Like his previous film “The Dance of Reality” (2013), the movie freely mixes his … Continue reading
Borat Subsequent Moviefilm (2020) ☆☆1/2(2.5/4): Borat returns
