Jane Schoenbrun on Gillian Anderson's casting for 'Teenage Sex and Death at Camp Miasma': "I did think about Gillian while writing the script. I was thinking about childhood sex symbols, and for so many of my friends, their coming of age was about Dana Scully. Growing up, I was a huge X-Files obsessive from third grade on. It was my life. And so, meeting her… [Laughs.] It felt like I was meeting a parent who had raised me, but who I hadn’t ever actually interacted with somehow. It was very surreal and both comforting and disorienting. She’s also just an incredibly committed and serious actor. Again, capital A. It doesn’t surprise me that she’s been very reticent to do genre film in a post X-Files world, because she is classical and rigorous in her process. She’s so controlled in the way that she acts. And I think one of the really fun things – and perhaps for her even scary things in this movie – was me asking something of her that was going to push her a little outside of a comfort zone, perhaps. To me, it’s such an amazing and unique and singular performance. Though her character is larger than life, and there’s obviously so much camp that she’s bringing to the role on purpose, there’s also this core of the performance that’s so vulnerable and pained and personal, in a way."

200-300 pages a week is fucking delusional. people have jobs and responsibilities – their time is less free than ever!!! a lot of the shit they assign as readings in the humanities is also total garbage lmfao, maybe 30-40% is worth reading

MOTHER MARY is pretty good when it’s just a withering chamber piece between Anne Hathaway and Michaela Coel but then it mutates into the kind of haunting, hypnotic, metaphysical ghost story that David Lowery excels at. Kind of his Guadagnino’s SUSPIRIA!
