Fun stuff:

Films I wish I had made:

- The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift (made for the queer gaze, duh)
- Fight Club (transmasc film icon)
- Titane (purely for just how much of a mindfuck it was)

I cried watching:

Boys Don't Cry... hit a bit too close to home :))

I left the cinema during:

Lilo & Stitch... I think it's the only film I've ever left the cinema for. My child brain found it terrifying.

Directors I love:

Bong Joon-Ho, Ruben Ostlund, The Wachowski sisters, Ari Aster

Actors I admire:

Riz Ahmed, Keanu Reeves, Brad Pitt

Writers I Respect:

Wong Kar Wai, Richard Kelly, Darren Aronofsky... maybe I should pay more attention to screenwriters (Sorry WRITERS)

My desert island discs:

https://open.spotify.com… - the BIG BANGERS list (P.S. someone please make a doc on Bloghouse music)

My death row meal:

2 tins of macaroni cheese, 4 slices of buttered bread and a 2 litre bottle of Fanta Fruit Twist. (I'm well cultured).

A "tory green" Surly Pacer (good bike, v swish)
