shout out to this woman for having the only funny bit in the Monitors (1969)
recently learned the term "completionist" for people who watch movies by picking an actor/director/screenwriter/etc. and just go down the list and watch all their work. I think directorial completionists are the most primitive form of completionist. It's what you do when you are a new cinephile on the offender registry. you think it makes you really smart but what you don't know is that it locks you in the trap of auteur theory. which is for losers. the next step of completionism are actor completionists. these are good and noble perverts. they end up broadening their horizons because their only concern is that a movie have 1 guy in it. they'll sit through movies with zero reviews on letterboxd. they'll find shit the actors have no memory of. the greatest tier of completionist is screenwriter completionists. these people know Pulp Fiction was written by 2 guys.
It's been such a weirdly miserable time lately like I'm not stressing over it but man. Friday I had a bout of endometriosis so severe I passed out flat in my own vomit and then sustained a 4 hour high off of the ensuing relief. It was so severe I decided I should probably get married. Like complete shift in perspective. I actually thought one of my organs had ruptured and I was dying. Then last night I called the older man I'm dating and he told me life only gets worse as you age. That was supposed to be encouraging. I stayed in a hotel last night, which is always scary because I was in one that got shot up when a John had a falling out with a sex worker. At 2 am I woke up to the sound of desperate screaming and called the front desk. In the morning, the desk clerk admitted she was too scared to do anything either. I found a torn up Texas driver's license on my floor near the elevator. Now I'm getting my teeth cleaned.

I like that such a desperate and nihilistic black comedy was written by a cartoonist that's very chic I think.
