Essay Subject Halp / Marathon Reminder! (Patreon)
Content
First off!
A reminder that this Friday we have the movie marathon on twitch (link here! https://www.twitch.tv/filmcrithulk ) starting at 4pm where we are gonna be watching gentle protagonist movies Babe / Kiki's Delivery Service / Paddington 2 / and Secret Feature (which I'm soooooo excited about for people who have never seen).
Second off!
So I'm always working on a bunch of little essays at once. Like right now it's the ani-me series / a piece on a Hidden Life, religious upbringings, and the way a soul affects morality / a bunch of old video game pieces / plus I'm finally gonna watch Nomadland this week. But these things tend to move around a bit in the grander process of just going with "what's burning my brain at the moment." But I also always like having "a big large scale essay" on a general film topic in the back of my mind.
The thing is that I've been writing for a ding dang decade now and it feels like those grander topics are harder to come by. The fun wrinkle with that a lot of what I wrote a decade ago is crap I don't really agree with anymore. I mean, just yesterday someone tagged me into a conversation quoting a piece I wrote and using it as defense and I had to be like "actually, I don't agree with that anymore! sorry! I actually wholly agree with the person you're arguing with!" Honestly, it's just a part of how I'm really not precious about anything I've ever written. I genuinely, truly believe that everything I've said I could say much better now. And I'll say the same thing five years from now with whatever I'm writing now. It's kinda the process, I guess?
Whatever it is, it more just reminds me that I always like covering things no matter what they are. And thus I'm curious about the general topics that YOU want to read about. What functional questions really deeply exist? What thing do I say all the time that still doesn't make sense? What's a topic you never really see get covered? Or simply, what are you most interested in?
Sound off below! Endless thanks!
