what is this?

as a very forgetful person, i thought i would try a new thing this year. each time i watch, play, listen or read something in 2026, i shall post it here for my own reference. i have noticed the more i record, the more time slows down. i am noticing, rather than existing. enjoy.

🎬 films watched

sentimentality (2025)

january
beautifully made, no binary of character, just a perfect exploration of human flaws in relationship. pretty camera work. spoke to my soul.

die my love (2025)

january
gorgeous film. stunning performances from both jen and edward cullen. loved that is was shot in 4:3 with real film. divine woman rage.

45 years (2015)

january
i hated the acceptance of the wive's fate at the end. the feeling she had wasted her entire life as second best. not that she still have the capacity to find true joy outside of a man. felt woman-blaming to me, despite the crux of the film being surrounded by a man's incompetency.

julie & julia (2009)

january
nice little film. meryl streep fantastic as always.

punch drunk love (2002)

february
the sound design was incredible. felt like such a fantastic respresentation of the neurodivergent mind. brillantly cast. every shot was purposeful and intentional.

the craft (1996)

february
i can't believe i never saw this film as a teenager, if i had, it would have become my whole personality. i wish i could pluck out the entire wardrobe of this film for myself. i have to say, as an adult, its respresentation of mental illness was judgemental, sensationalised and misunderstood.

twilight for men, but very entertaining. great soundtrack. loved the interactions. i wish blonde blazer's character was explored in more depth. it felt as though despite being a choices game, the story was designed for the player to go one specific way and the other was more of an afterthought. i found myself having no connection to blonde blazer, until the very end of the game. she had no grit until then and by that point, it was too late.
