Today's Mood


Last night I saw the trailer for Luca Guadagnino's upcoming tennis n' threesomes movie Challengers (watch it here) on the big screen, and besides making me freshly furious that Challengers got moved to next year because billionaire movie-studio (dick) heads are monsters who won't pay their employees, it reminded me that I very much am overdue a re-watch of Guadanino's Bones & All. And in a weird twist of coincidence the movie just this week landed on Amazon Prime! You can stream it right here. And then go read my NYFF review at Pajiba. We can't let this wonderful movie slip through the cracks, which it kind of feels as if it's doing. It's far too excellent for that. And nevermind how Taylor Russell got robbed her due attention -- I'm still furious we couldn't get Mark Rylance an Oscar nomination, which was just the exact right amount of indelibly over-the-top. Also I need to watch Timmy and that sexy carny eye-fuck again...

Mark Rylance is amazing and creepy AF in this movie.

Great movie and Mark Rylance is giving pure camp. A ridiculous, hilarious performance.

I watched this earlier in the year, and I still find myself thinking about Chloe Sevigny's part in this movie months later. I wish there'd been some buzz given to her stealing this movie with such little screen time
