Beautifully shot and a razor sharp demonstration of how history affects us all regardless of whether we actually lived through it or not. And yeah, the reveal that the white boomer who lives on a former plantation and brags about his money and “taste” was racist the whole time was hardly surprising. His being gay didn’t distract me from those red flags. But I could’ve never predicted that vile tirade at the end. Not because I didn’t think he had it in him, but because I couldn’t believe someone who fancies themselves a progressive was comfortable going fully mask-off on camera. Anyway, huge props to this team for not shying away from showing how easily racism can infiltrate LGBTQ spaces. Also, that racist auto shop owner who acted like all of his customers would forget he existed and the business would go under overnight if he just picked up his shed and moved it somewhere else was an absolute clown. It’s not that I don’t think he has a right to keep or sell his property as he sees fits, but you just know he’d fold like a lawn chair if any other entity who wanted it for any other reason offered him that money. I concur with the tour guide’s assessment: Get a job!!

I want Gene Tierney to spread my ashes in the New Mexico desert on horseback. 😫 Positively LETHAL face card, figuratively and literally. Speaking of which, listen…murder is a crime and I don’t condone it. Not even when hot ladies do it. That’s what makes be better than you heathens. But you know what’s not a crime? Wanting to fuck your husband! And you know what should be a crime? Inviting family along on what’s supposed to be a romantic getaway when you never had a honeymoon! Not to mention having an emotional affair with your wife’s sister and dedicating a book to her. And I’m just gonna say it: that kid brother was annoying! Didn’t deserve to die for it, but still! She’s valid for crashing out. To an extent, that is. Shouldn’t have murdered anyone or tried to frame her sister for her murder, but not all of her needs were unreasonable. One orgasm might have prevented this whole mess, is all I’m saying. And obviously, the Technicolor is stunning. But everyone knows that.

Shout out to Cary Grant Playing a Petty Ex-Husband. Gotta be one of my favorite genders.

I wish I believe in the inherent goodness of humanity and the American Dream as much as Frank Capra did.
