I haven't liked a Refn film in quite a long time, but I loved HER PRIVATE HELL, and I tried to figure out why. The film is a fantasy of busted binaries, and characters whose sexuality, gender identity, kinks, and persona are in a state of symbolic impermanence. www.patreon.com/willowcately...
From a Fox Poll out 7/31: Talarico-Paxton is the marquee race down here but check out the dead heat btw Abbott and Hinojosa for governor. This contest isn't even on the radar for the national Dems, AFAIK. She's has $3m cash on hand--Abbott has *$67m*. Some more highlights from the poll... /1

My pet theory is that '80s Robert Palmer was what '80s David Bowie was trying to be.

Finally watched this. It was like being beaten with a sock filled with mashed potatoes.
Getting the AG race here would be great too, I've talked to the Democrat, Nathan Johnson (story to come eventually), he's terrific
Folks... this is a reputable pollster.. And the gov race!?! With "extremely interested" voters it's 53 Talarico - 47 Paxton. GOV: Abbott 50 - Hinajosa 49 !!!! Article claims "extremely motivated" there... 53 Hinajosa - 47 Abbott. Yeah uh what??? www.foxnews.com/politics/fox...
Terrific film, and I'll be moderating the Q&A afterward.
This documentary follows Mary Phillips, a 63 year old divorce, on her journey of sexual awakening. Aging doesn’t have to be the end of one’s sexual growth, & Mary shows that through exploration one can discover autonomy and take control of their own pleasure. Tix and more info: bit.ly/flmg

For our mega-survey on populist attitudes, we asked whether people would prefer a more multi-party system or a two-party system. The former blew the latter out of the water. Asked about specific reforms to get there, people are less sure. Also, Trump populists are the most fond of the status quo.

Maya Annik Bedward’s documentary #BlackZombie explores the psychology, spirituality, and heritage of a horror touchstone. Read @jaredmobarak.com's @fantasiafestival.com review:
You can map the millennium’s sexual pessimism on Wilde’s films: the needy online dater in “Her,” the scheming honey pot in “Richard Jewell,” the compromised tradwife in “Don’t Worry Darling.” This and “The Invite” hint at a fresh appreciation for naked vulnerability www.latimes.com/entertainmen...
