Baby Got Backrooms

Hooray, this interminable three day work week has ended! I'm free! And it's a heckuva weekend ahead! Not because Backrooms starring the above hotness that is Chiwetel Ejiofor is out in theaters (no that picture is not from Backrooms, I actually have no idea what it's from, but who the hell cares look at him), because I already shared some of my mixed thoughts on Backrooms earlier today right here. No this is a heckuva weekend ahead because NewFest 2026 Pride Edition kicks off today! I already told you about its fantastic line-up at this link but basically I'm freaking out with excitement over one movie, and that movie is Gregg Araki's new movie I Want Your Sex. 

(P.S. That is I believe a new picture from the film there.) I am seeing a new Gregg Araki movie this weekend y'all! I have not been able to type out that sentence in twelve years. TWELVE YEARS. That's cruelty, utter cruelty, finally coming to an end. And awesomely enough I'll be making a whole day of it, this Araki-ness, because there's also a screening of the new 4K restoration of his movie Mysterious Skin that's screening at IFC Center on Saturday too, which I'll be at -- and not just me, but Araki and actor turned director Brady Corbet as well! Hot damn, what a time will be had. So stay tuned, to my socials and here -- I will surely got stuff to say soon. Have a good weekend, one and all but especially me!
