  Beauty and the Beast 1946

  Watched 18 Feb 2023

  HIV+ man Prior falls asleep while reading Francis Steegmuller’s book “Cocteau” and in his dream he’s in The Beast’s chateau, in drag. Valium addict Harper comes into the scene and they have one of the best conversations in television history. 

  The dream sequence from Angels in America gets a whole new meaning and becomes even better after watching the source it was referring to.

  The Menu 2022

  Watched 28 Jan 2023

  You’re a filmmaker. Your single purpose on this earth is to serve people a movie that they might actually like, and you have failed.

  You’ve failed.

  And you’ve bored me.

  And the worst part is, I’m still fucking hungry.
