Summary: The film tells the story of a pop star based mainly on David Bowie's 'Ziggy Stardust' character and is set in Britain during the days of glam rock in the early 1970s.
Thoughts: I remember that when I first entered fandom, a lot of my friends were really crazy about this film. The film itself is quite straightforward - a biography structured through flashbacks, interspersed with the quest for that biography. The way it's filmed is really expressive of the era - the vibrant colours, the music, the way the characters interact with each other. It's worth it for people who like the era (and some homoeroticism), but otherwise, it's...quite average.
It took months, but I made myself a) improve it, and b) finish it.
I feel kind of empty now, BUT WHATEVER, FF6 WILL ALWAYS BE THE BEST FF, W00T.
And now I shall prove it by devoting hours of HTML to its mockery! Because. Because this is what I do, that's why.

Rating: R for language
Because of the size, etc., YOU MUST INDULGE ME BY HEADING OVER YONDER.
If you love FF6, holla back, ya?
Disclaimer: I think my QCs and I caught all the little bugs/errors, but if any remain, I am sorry -- and also blind from HTML-ing, which I haven't done in years.

Told a girl on my flist that the structure of her argument is like something Catharine MacKinnon used in one of her works (I was reminded since I had just recently read MacKinnon for one of my essays), and she replies with "the difference between MacKinnon and me is that I'm a sex-positive feminist."
Which, uh, duh, I know that. I'm talking about the structure of your argument, not the content nor underlying beliefs or anything else. If I hadn't read Catharine MacKinnon's works myself, I would not be commenting and telling you that the structure of your argument resembles hers.
I mean, honestly. I don't need you to tell me something that I already know, especially something so freaking obvious to anyone who knows more than cursory information about feminism. Just wtf. :|

Summary: 16-year-old Carsten just started dating Melissa. He is introduced to her sweet and likable parents, who kindly welcome their first son in law. On a weekend in their summerhouse it turns out that Carsten and Melissa's dad might have more in common than they first thought.
Thoughts: This is a beautiful short film. I'm usually not a fan of coming-of-age narratives, but this film, oh. I don't think I've ever used the word 'sensitive' to describe a film before, but this was. The way all the shots were framed brought out the tension between Carsten and Stig extremely well, along with Carsten's confusion and longing. And the intergenerational relationship isn't creepy at all. There's a sort of innocent, genuine, whole-heartedness to it on Carsten's side, and I could tell how conflicted Stig felt about it all because he wants but can't. To me, this film really emphasized the difference between the styles of European and American films because frankly I can't see an American film done in this way. :3
