Barbarella

1968

★★★★½ Rewatched

Someone needs to make the "Essence Of Man" hookah lounge as an interactive performance piece the same way Felix Gonzalez-Torres's "Untitled (go-go dancing platform)" gets regularly re-staged. I will volunteer to be The Man!

Magic Farm

2025

★★★½ Watched

Took me a while to get my bearings with this one, what with all the goofy GoPro interludes and such, but at no point did I know where this was going, and that's such a rare sensation these days.

Also it came as no surprise when I saw in the credits that the music was made by someone called "Chicken."

Party Girl

1995

★★★★½ 79

Just in case anyone is interested, here's a complete list of all the records Guillermo Diaz asks Parker Posey to pull for his DJ set after she reorganizes his collection based on the Dewey Decimal System. Apologies in advance if this is only interesting to me:

You Make Me Feel (Mighty Real) - Sylvester
The Lover Who Rocks You - India
Double Cross - First Choice
You Sexy Thing - Hot Chocolate
Hot Music - Pal Joey
X - Junior…

Catwalk

1995

★★★★ Rewatched

Notes:
- RuPaul is in this for about three seconds.
- Nightmare scenario: John Galliano chasing after you while yelling, "Think Irving Penn! IRVING PENN!"
- John Galliano answering interviewers' questions with "can I just get a drink first?" is a mood.
- "The beauty, the fantasy, I died, I died!" - Polly Mellen
- Whatever André Leon Talley says about "women who want to look like a woman" is the best kind of fashion gibberish.
- Chubby Karl Lagerfeld!…
