Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story

2024

★★★½ 6

undeniably uneven, but episode 5 is one of the most shattering things i’ve ever seen, and the brothers’ final scene broke me in two. if nothing else, i’m glad this series is exposing a whole new generation (myself included) to the truth and tragedy of this story and starting - or rather, restarting - conversations most sadly weren’t ready or willing to listen to 30 years ago.

it’s time to bring these boys home.

“i try to tighten my heart into a knot, a snarl, i try to learn to live dead, just numb, but then i see someone i want, and it's like a nail, like a hot spike right through my chest, and i know i’m losing.”

i first learned what AIDS was in my eighth grade health class, during a unit on STDs. we learned its history, its symptoms, its causes, its prognosis, and who it affected - “homosexuals and addicts.”…

struggling to find the words to sum up all the thoughts i have right now and all the things this made me feel so i’ll start with just one: human. remarkably honest, imperfect, angry, and ugly in a deeply human way that art is rarely ever allowed to be. both a reflection of What The World Has Become™ - or maybe always was - and also ourselves, accompanied by a sobering reminder that we have far more in common with each other than that which divides us.

The Seed of the Sacred Fig

★★★★ Liked 8

the third act here is the best horror film of the year. an almost unbearably excruciating escalation of tension over the course of three hours made all the more affecting thanks to the inclusion of real world terrors occurring simultaneously. urgent, unforgettable filmmaking.

the scene where chani is running to paul as the harkonnen ship she just shot down crashes into the sand beside her and the score swells is literally what movies were made for
