Also, today I met this person I know from my previous internship (I started an internship in a new place this week). Hah it seems that my gaydar was right, because I was always like “yay I don’t think this person is a strait”. You know, because it’s an lgbt film festival where most of the attendees are lgbt, one way or another. (They also came up to me and said “I thought I’d see you here” lol.)

The last movie of the day was “Ideal Home”, and so far it’s probably my favourite movie in this year’s festival. It was actually a lot better than I first expected: funny but also rather touching. And wow, they actually acknowledged the main characters as a loving, sexually active couple, despite also being a “funny comedic duo”, aka basically a married couple who “hates” each other.

The shape of water was a good movie but Love Simon shows a waaaay more realistic scenario and the fact that people rather women fuck men-shaped animals (The fishman’s cool tho, he’s 10 times better than most straight boys I know) than seeing a loving same-sex relationship is sad

straight-people-again:

Right? Women throughout the history of cinema have romanced fish, beasts, bees, vampires and werewolves and zombies and giant gorillas, and all of that is more realistic than a kid having a crush on someone of the same gender? Are these people sure they’re in touch with reality?

Day 2 of Vinokino. The day begins with short films (I’m always excited for short films). There’s another collection of short films later in the day, plus four feature films (minus the one I’m going to skip because I have to eat at some point). So today there are 13 films to watch, in total.
