i know i'm fucking sad

when tumblr is a happy space

laughing at the screen

with tears on my face

"know your place in other's lives"

"you don't matter to them"

always on my mind

never have been

and as far as i see

never will be

LET'S BE HONEST! - CRUSH (2022) Review

⚠️ WATCH OUT FOR SPOILERS ⚠️

First of all, yall also think the plot was kinda lame and the ending was a little bit too cheesy, right?

Yeah that's how I wanna start this review. Those are basically all that bothers me about this movie.

Ok to the "good" list:

1. We are getting a lovey-dovey first crush queer teen rom-com with all the best saphic tropes: frenemies to lovers, teasing, skateboard teaching, art lovers, bathroom, bed sharing...

2. No coming-out, no homophobia, only good highshool reps, with a propriate anount of stereotypes.

3. The production is *chef kiss*. All details are great, the transitions are so smooth, the actual artworks are amazing.

Again, the plot is way too predictable and the art revealing part was a bit "wtf" in my opinion.

Def a should-watch.

Rating: 7/10 🏃‍♀️

If we had five more minutes of air to breathe

And we cried all through it 

But you spent them with me 

On our last few drags of air we agreed 

I was and you were happy

they’re in jeju island .

"let's go to jeju, both of us..."

in such lovely golden light

of their last falling dawn to live,

she whispered those words

aimlessly.

facing her was a speechless figure

hopelessly tearing up.

two souls.

one promise.

for none.

KATE (2021) - plesantly predictable

I know you are actively sleeping on it because people/articles/critics are comparing it to “John Wick” and “Gunpowder Milkshake” but i hope you’ll try to give it a chance & see it for yourself.

As usual, there will be spoliers so BUCkLE UP!

1. Yes. The plot is not new.

✅ An assassin on their last mission, ready to retire

✅ Revenge

✅ An unexpected companion

✅ Lots of blood

✅ Neon lighting

I honestly have about 10 titles popping up in my head right now, but I’m not saying it a bad thing. It helps the audience focus on the main characters and all the action aspect which could easily be dulled down by the thick plot.

2. Still a good watch.

It did great as an action-packed, thriller film. The choreography for each scene is very clean, logically accurate, easy to follow and they really took advantage of props and settings. And long fighting sequences are usually muddy and overwhelmed with all the fast camera movements and the gory surroundings. 

There were a lot of intentional patterns/related details like Boom Boom Lemon, the cheap sunglasses, LCD screens on buildings and even guns can be symbolic.

Subtle, yet effective comedy. Whether it was Kate constantly looking for her favorite “artificial” drink or the funny scenarios where a character realized they ran out of bullets. I never thought an impulsive teenage girl & a deadly assassin duo can be so hysterical but here we are.

The production is *chef kiss*. I really couldn’t keep my eyes off the screen. It’s basically a light show tbh.

Soundtrack was also a plus Soooooooo gooooood

3. This scene was so cool (cause I’m actually a child in an adult’s body)

Props to Miku Patricia Martineau (this was her first big break I think) for this fierce actong at such a young age.

My rating: 60/100 but I’m a simp for Mary Elizabeth Winstead and she’s a 10 so 70/100
