TLDR?
I'm so glad Clueless basically holds up after all this time, with good messages to tell! I'd cut the disturbing older-former-step-brother story out & drop it from that balcony Brittney Murphy got dangled over, thou! 🤢

This was a great, surprisingly diverse watch for yesterday's shitty pained, brain fogged, energyless day!

A ★★★★ review of Clueless (1995)

I'm so glad Clueless basically holds up after all this time, with good messages to tell! I'd cut the disturbing older-former-step-brother story out & drop it from that balcony Brittney Murphy got dangled over, thou! 🤢 Rambling review/unpacking written as I watched, follows. 😆 I really enjoyed this rewatch! Is it just me or is Cher's argument for allowing refugees into The US actually well reasoned, presented with compassion and easily relateable, even to rich kids? B+ tbh! 🤷🏻‍♀️ As I indicated above, my one huge criticism of a movie that I generally love is this. Cher getting together with a

#KittenWatches Margarita With a Straw

TLDR?
God, there's so many beautiful, empowering layers of rep in Margarita: Disability, Indian culture, queerness, sexuality! It puts Hollywood wholly to SHAME! The disabled joy alone is worth watching for! This is the bar for Hollywood & co to rise to!

A ★★★★½ review of Margarita with a Straw (2014)

God, there's so many beautiful, empowering layers of representation in Margarita: Disability, Indian culture, queerness, sexuality! It puts Hollywood wholly to SHAME! The disabled joy alone is worth watching for! This is the bar for Hollywood & co to rise to - & they must do so quickly! No more excuses. This movie has proved it can & should be done! I'm going to concentrate on the disability representation of this movie about a young Indian woman with Cerebral Palsy - just living her life - Laila. One of the most striking things about this movie is that Laila is a happy disabled

#KittenWatches Strange World (2022)

TLDR?
Wherein #Disney, a monumentally selfish $200 billion co. makes a movie about ppl willing to change their whole society, to save the environment, w/ apparently zero irony.

They also shortchange a #queer teen, splitting up their totally adorable relationship when one teen goes on an adventure.

It's beautiful visually but left me a bit flat.

A ★★½ review of Strange World (2022)

Disney, a $200 billion company who don't give a toss about anything but $ makes a movie about people being willing to change their entire society, to save their environment, with apparently zero irony. It's got a queer kid whose character is short changed. It's a cute relationship, but they split them up by sending one teen on the adventure without the other, shortly into the movie, & ofc they're not given a kiss scene. 🤷🏻‍♀️ That's not to say I'm not glad to see it! I am! It's a desperately needed change for Disney! But this playing both sides thing

#KittenWatches Special (2019)

It was so genuinely delightful to come across this disabled, queer rep - by us AND about us! So much of this was so very relatable for me!

And ohhhh, it's the kind of authentic, powerful show we need!! Shows about disabled ppl just living & loving in this #ableist world! It's the kind of show I'm desperate for!

I am so happy I found it, albeit late to the game!
