hey everyone! i wrote a little essay on the patron saints of autistic new wave (david byrne, gary numan & danny elfman) and how neurodiversity was what made new wave cool! check it out!🎧⚡️
john waters, paul verhoeven and david cronenberg are all working on new movies right now. it’s like they saw all the anti-sex scene discourse and assembled the pervert film elder avengers
bro what do you mean i should learn how to code or become an influencer. im meant to be an 80s video store clerk recommending gory horror movies to the neighbourhood scamps. im meant to be a small town radio dj who plays too much new wave and gets involved in a local mystery.
will never get people who say that "dated" special effects take them out of a movie. im different. i see a rubber bat fly by with fishing line and im hooting and hollering
david cronenberg describing transitioning as being "an artist giving their all to their art" is one of my all time favourite quotes about the transgender experience. cronenberg truly understands the malleable beauty of the body more than most, truly a trans icon!
thinking about david cronenberg discussing the bodily autonomy of trans people as a metaphor in crimes of the future on his birthday today. more cis filmmakers should be as cool as this
im so detached from sex scenes in media discourse. people clutching their pearls calling them "unnecessary" and "uncomfortable" meanwhile my only critique is that more sex scenes should be like this
clunky stopmotion? "cheesy" painted laser effects? obvious puppetry? these are only positives in my eyes. dare i say i love it when i can see the humanity behind the art of the moving image!

horror movies went to shit the second you couldn't win a decapitated head from them as part of a promotional magazine contest. this was the peak of cinema's potential
jerry’s actually contractually obligated to be the buffer between david and chris & tina in order to protect them from david byrne’s autistic vampire voodoo powers
oh wow! so it turns out that some random person dropped the bride of reanimator script out of no where onto the internet archive a couple months ago! since it's my first time reading it it's time to post my important findings...
hey everyone! i got the chance to write about david byrne's autistic unmasking journey in stop making sense for
@LWLies
! celebrate being strange but not a stranger!
finished a book on queer-coding in horror movies recently and im obsessed with this footnote that just randomly starts talking about oingo boingo being a gay band. i *cannot* stress enough how out of no where this is
society if tina weymouth stuck with being one of the best bassists of all time instead of calling david byrne a trumpian child-murdering voodoo vampire for being autistic once a week
thank you all for all the kind words & support on my autistic new wave article, it truly means the world to me! here's some of the art from it on its own since im proud of how they turned out :-)
