When I was a kid -- say, between the ages of 4 and 10 -- my mother would spend her Saturday afternoons ironing in the living room. Since she has always found this particular task to be extraordinarily tedious, she would pick a movie out of her rather large collection of VHS cassettes and keep it as background entertainment while she went about her chores.

After a while, out of sheer curiosity, I would splay out on the sofa and watch whatever movie she had selected for the day, regardless of the rating. Since I was the one who, at 7 years old, had forced my mother to sit through Critters (carnivorous aliens terrorizing a rural American town... don’t even ask), she wasn’t too concerned about my young mind suffering any irreparable trauma at this point.

Which brings me to the following: I’ve been feeling nostalgic, as of late, and have to find new ways to procrastinate doing all the things that I should be doing right now; thus, I’ve decided to present you with a List of Films That Were Meaningful During My Childhood, in no particular order.

Enjoy!

The Fly (1986). Of course, the first one has to be a horror film, and a great classic at that! The ambitious scientist, the tragic love story, the terrifying metamorphosis... I’m pretty sure I couldn’t shut up about it for the next week or so.

Beetlejuice (1988). Another classic, which I am proud to say I personally selected from my mother’s collection. It’s been years since I last watched it, so I only remember bits and pieces of it, but I’m pretty sure it wasn’t even remotely appropriate for a six-year-old. But! there were ghosts involved, and at the time that was the magic word to spark my interest.

In & Out (1997). This one was my introduction to LGBT media and themes. Being mostly satirical in its intent, it has to be taken with a grain of salt; but I’d laugh my head off every time we watched it, as my mother explained all the stereotypes they were making fun of. After the first viewing, I distinctly remember asking: “What does “lesbian” mean?”, and her answering: “Same as “gay”, but for women”. I thought it was a really cool word.

Mrs. Doubtfire (1993). This one... this one is special. I already knew Robin Williams from Jumanji, but, of all the roles he has played, this is the one that really stole my heart. My family was sort of falling apart when I first watched it, so it did a lot more than strike a chord -- it made me consider that maybe, just maybe, even if things were going to change drastically in my life, everything would work out all the same. A divorce didn’t have to be such a terrible ordeal, because there were a lot of different ways to remain committed to one another, and “family” didn’t mean the same thing to everyone. So, yeah... Thanks, Robin <3

American Beauty (1999). Picture this: it’s almost midnight, I’m bored out of my mind and should be going to sleep, but I’ve decided to stay up and see what’s on TV at this hour. I come across the first sequence of this film: girl speaking into the camera, creepy conversation with unseen interlocutor, then cut to the voiceover and the aerial view of the gloomy suburbs. My mother found me glued to the screen just as the “rose petals” scene was playing. She asked what I was watching, and I was like: “Uhm... American Beauty, I think it’s called”; she stared at the TV, verified her suspicion and went: “It’s late. I have the VHS, you can watch it tomorrow”. And I did. If anyone ever wonders how I got into the suburban-gothic genre, blame Kevin Spacey.

The Color Purple (1985). The film that introduced me to Whoopi Goldberg. I had never heard of her before, and I remember repeating her name over and over to make sure I was saying it correctly. I doubt I’d even bothered to ask, let alone memorize the name of any actor before, but with her it was love at first sight. A few months later, I found a radio programme where the host would read “literary classics”, one or two chapters per episode; sure enough, Alice Walker’s novel was on their list. I listened to the whole thing. And, as I did, I guess I thought a lot about the word “lesbian”.

The Miracle Worker (1962). The autobiography of Helen Keller and Anne Sullivan. To this day, I cry at the end. Anne Bancroft was amazing. Also, possibly the first black-and-white movie I ever watched all the way through... and wanted to rewatch.

The Elephant Man (1980). David Lynch’s debut film; it completely changed how I thought of “monsters”. It was a milestone in my growth as both human being and horror fan, precisely because there was nothing “scary” about Joseph Merrick, at all. It filled me with a sadness the depth of which I still find difficult to convey. Also... Anne Bancroft. Again.

Divorzio all’italiana (1961). A film about infidelity, social hypocrisy and honor killings in Southern Italy. Not exactly kids material, but it’s not like anyone gave a damn. It’s the main reason why I laugh so hard and hysterically when people claim that misogyny concerns almost exclusively non-Western cultures. And by “laugh” I mean “scream into the void”.

The House of the Spirits (1993). Saw the movie before I read the book. Five minutes in and I was enraptured. It may or may not have been the source of my fascination with magical realism and historical novels in general. I was missing out on a great deal of context, in order to fully understand the more “political” parts of the story, but over the years I did learn a thing or two thanks to Clara, Blanca and Alba. And yes, Clara was played by Meryl Streep, but I did not care to learn the actress’ name back then.

Stephen King’s IT (1990). Since I’ve started the list with the horror genre, why not have another one? The TV film that exacerbated my fear of clowns to near-pathological levels. It (both the film and the character) scared me so much that I could never bring myself to re-watch it. Instead, by the time I reached the 9th grade I’d gathered the courage to read the novel. “IT” and “Stand by Me” were my gateway into Stephen King’s fictional universe, although the former was branded so deeply into my subconscious that the mere mention of that damned clown used to give me chills. Surprisingly, I have recently convinced myself to watch short clips from the film, only to discover that I now like Pennywise as a character. I mean, that’s still Tim Curry beneath the makeup!

The Exorcist (1973). Another classic. 9-year-old me was obsessed! I honestly don’t know how many times I re-watched it, but I can assure you they amounted to A LOT. I also tried to convince a dear friend of mine to watch it with me, once, but she freaked out halfway through, leaving me rather disappointed.

So, there you have them: the highlights of my youth.

And yes, before you ask, I did also watch cartoons like a normal kid.

Love Victor 2x01 Semi-liveblogging

Okay I have feelings and no irl friends who watch so, spoilers under the cut

I said in a separate post already but Justice for Mia (just love and support and happiness, i don't want victor with her obvi)

Infidelity is a storyline I dislike, so you know.

We Love Pilar ( I don't think anyone did this for me )

Decide It (Yike)

It always pains me when there's the surprise actually this person is more homophobic and not chill

I mean it's not unrealistic but...

that queer trama, yo

I mean, arm pat is pretty good...

My parents said awkward stuff about my gay cuz when I came out, just that well, we already had to accept him :V

Victor, Mia is Using Her Phone, although she probably doesn't want to talk to you, so fair I guess

Gay Smiling at your BF, I'm weak

Mia being away for summer camp does make me feel better about the Four of Them being a group without her. Though I'm sure later it's big awks

Hos before Homos Is a Little Yikes. Unless you wanna come out Lake. Still a little Yikes but

what's pollo guisado, can i have some

Ah, a Puerto Rican chicken stew... I would like some. Now I feel like I should check out more restaurants

the only Latin food we have usually is Mexican and Southwest, Mexican American...

NO, I hope he did not invite everyone tonight already...

You Need advanced notice

Oh wait, what did they tell the child?

I do not remember his name it's been over a year I think. Okay it was one Year, But I think Pandemic Memory we can give a pass

Oh I need to pause, I'm attracted to Mia's step mom. I mean who isn't

"We packed out bunks early so we decided to drive home today" she delivered this so cute and awkward, I"m. I love Mia and her actress

It's not fine Mia, the sadness, the feeling of being replaced, I'm

Mmmm, I don't think Jumanji is problematic, it was actual quite fun, but then again maybe ppl just have issues with bodyswap in general then.......

Also yes I first thought of the Robin William's OG one

PS5 or a Puppy? Also did they say the boy's name yet... don't think so.

I think screenwriters should throw a bone to ppl at least first couple eps back

Benji a shorty. Haha.

Yes I've always been the shorter one in a "couple" shut up (I put quotes since I've not officially officially dated anyone)

I feel like she's gonna make it too spicy... I hope that's just it.

NO, Ms. Salazar you Are Unreasonable, you are not gonna waste all that hard work and good food. I'm Feral!

I'm also maybe hungry but

The close of the lid because that garbage closes too slowly naturally. Dramatic. Realistic. Actually real issue filming probably.

Lake, I've got to quickly take this call. Outside. Away from here.

LOLOLOL

they dropped queens before peens in the trailer so, I didn't laugh, would I.... I can't say! I just don't have the context

Humor is all about unexpected for me, and timing so like

Lake, you should have ditched them... well... idk. You know

I Love Chips - good effort Benji

This is Painful, do I have to watch these children try to Hype Benji while Isabel(?) Ms. mom avoids it, I...

Acid Reflux, You gonna say that to a boy who lightly grasped your sons arm? Hate This

Oh my gosh that Heather the Turtle, I already miss you half the time, line was tragic

Dang Mijo. Yes, My child because I am to scared to look up his name for fear of spoilers.

oh Adrian, literally right after I unpaused.

I am very slow at watching shows when I liveblog

Is it Andrew? Yeah. Ah. He got a gf... remember that from the trailer now.

I hope Mia finds herself

I'm scared for when I finally bring someone around my family :')

Which i mean..... Idk. It's hard okay! I'm not gonna get into it right now

Oh the Adrian question answered. Yeah sounds like a homophobic mom move

I haven't told any of my younger relatives... well.. haven't really told any extended fam either so

I don't think Victor is pissed off. I think he's sad

Benji. I know you mean well but it can't just be You and Your Boy and no one else matters, wish it were so easy

if mia walks away without saying hey, I'm gonna scream, altho it's first ep, so she probably will

She feels so out of everything, and I hate that :(

what is this male indie cover of mmmwatcha say. I know i can't think of the title. Hide and Seek.

I'm sad

No you did not just drive two hours for nothing. Your shrimp lo mein is so cold now, and for what :(((

It's fair tho, I'm just sad

AOC bobble? I"m dying. Lol.

Is there a summer rush? I guess they're not a college town, so perhaps there is

Felix's mom needs the money I know it :(

Proud of you Victor

Good ep back, But Please Good Things for Mia soon?
