æʃliŋ, dogs in love purropawgandist @aescling@cat.family

my first guess is that all the men in this film are meant to be understood as different aspects of the way her guilt* over her husband’s suicide is haunting her; at the end they are gradually morphed together into one, and then take the shape of her husband as he looked when he looked himself. so i mean.

* undeserved, but it is not exactly the case that trauma is rational

@alyssa who now?

anyway i’m rewatching the folding ideas video on annihilation again because i learned, after watching men, that it has the same writer-director

btw i should probably watch annihilation sometime

anyway by serious content warnings i mean it’s doing a lot with suicide, depicted quite explicitly, and a very blatant sexual assault, just right there, on screen

so like
yeah

also there is a very self-indulgent pun on wasps that i have no idea why it was there but i appreciated

there’s some fucking excellent body horror in this one

it’s probably good i just wish i’d understood what it’s doing

@foccs wow, i can’t believe you can ride through a tunnel as it’s sucking a dick

@alyssa same

i did not understand Men (2022)

also btw for those curious about it, serious content warnings on that one, ny’all

@alyssa wasn’t sure if i should have said anything or no lol

@KitRedgrave that’s what i hear from those using it these days

@monorail Meowth

maybe if i’m gonna be resting my forepaws and thus avoiding video’d game and typing and such i should just, read through all those socialist magazines i haven’t gotten to yet or something lol

the funny period of time when i was a cat on fedi but pretty much entirely unaware of normal cat behaviors

people would post (sometimes in my mentions) about various things and i’d just be like “wut. what is ‘kneading’. what does that mean”

prrbt

@monorail meow

part time remote worker unions are real
