East Germany’s Coming Out is, despite its title a really nuanced portrait of sexuality and the city and also has an amazing backstory which you will have to endure me recount at tomorrow’s screening where i’ll be intro’ing

realising that the only social networks i actually enjoy using are strava and letterboxd and think they both work because they’re tied to specific activities and friends/followrs only?

something web 1.0 about a closed-ish space to discuss something specific which feels much better

Sport may be a blunt tool of social change, but it’s time to take a stand against Israel | Sport politics | The Guardian As the bombardment continues in Gaza, bodies such as Fifa and the IOC have evaded taking a stand. But fans’ solidarity with Palestinians is growing and should not be ignored

Is Saltburn the most divisive film of the year? | Emerald Fennell | The Guardian The mixed response to Emerald Fennell’s 00s-set thriller evinces a movie-going conundrum: how do we assess entertainment that is predominantly indexed on vibes?

watched (most of) saltburn this morning and this critique seems to get at a lot of what irked me about it, namely that glamour and the occasional sharp line can’t make up for horrendous pacing, let alone be the backbone for the class critique that some people seem to think this is
