I realized I have no more Heartstopper to consume in any format, so I thought of going old school for tonight's shot of homosexual serotonin and revisited one of my all time favorites, the OG Heartstopper.

Beautiful Thing. Utter perfection in movie form. These last few years I often went back to the filmed version of the stage play, because I love the actors, and hadn't rewatched the movie in a while. I'm so glad I decided to do just that tonight.

This is the movie that defined my gay adolescence. This is the movie that made me realize that I was not wrong and that there was a light at the end of the homophobic tunnel known as the early 1990s. And maybe it's because I was a kid back then, but everything still feels incredibly fresh and relevant, even though it's been so many years.

I can't even put into proper words the raw emotions that this movie makes me feel. It's not only the gay romance. It's the complexity of everything that is put out there by playwright/screenwriter Jonathan Harvey: mother/son relationship, the observations on class and privilege, the tough talk about abuse and neglect, the heartbreaking glimpses into social paralysis and so much more, with everything still presented in a way that is beautifully hopeful, truthful and empathetic.

I love this movie so so much.

Thank you director Hettie Macdonald. Thank you Jonathan Harvey. And a huge thank you to that wonderful cast, starting with the fierce matriarch that was Linda Henry and the two lovely boys that made me fall in love with loving boys: Glen Berry and Scott Neal.

Next Gen Electroacoustic: Kotoka Suzuki

Starkland S-236 Every Starkland release is an event and this one is no different. This is a composer new to this writer and likely new to most of the new music community. But fear not of the unknown. Advance praise from the likes of John Chowning (one of the reigning bright lights of electronic music) of Stanford certainly add a heady air of anticipation as we are now privileged to hear what is…

ur telling me batman (a hero whose power is like 65% fear 35% money) has a villain who is all about weaponizing fear and he’s not the main villain? ur telling me batman (man with a secret identity so strong that there are questions of who the real person is at the end of the day and whose entire creed is about stopping One Bad Day™️) has a villain who is his childhood friend that has physically separated his dual violent-nonviolent nature and is all about duality and chance and he’s not the main villain? ur telling me batman (man with strong ideas about the Right Way to stop crime and who emerged from the destruction of his own family structure) has a villain who is his undead son/former sidekick who he couldn’t save and now disagrees with the way to address crime in gotham and he’s not the main villain? ur shitting me about this clown guy right

Hroo hrah

I think its funny that the Scarecrow keeps showing up in Batman villain team-ups because I honestly think he causes more problems than he solves for everyone involved.

Couldn't figure out which versions of these characters to use so I just mashed stuff together.
