ghostface suguru! ( @aurelianamu )
In a dimly lit room, at around 10PM—it was a bit cold outside, the perfect weather to snuggle up and watch some movies. Romance movies? No, you did that last week. Action movie? Eh, you were not in the mood for that—oh, Scream. Your thumb presses on the movie before you put the remote control down and walk towards the kitchen to grab some snacks.
“Sugu, I picked a movie!” you announce as you make your way out of the kitchen with a bowl of popcorn and two drinks. Your husband marches down the stairs in a lazy manner, his long strands messily sticking out of his ponytail that he has to stop and tie it up again. He sees what movie you picked and he stands behind you on the couch.
“Scream?” he questions, hands resting on your shoulders.
“First movie, pretty iconic.”
“I don’t think it’s that scary though,” he doesn’t really say that he would rather watch something else, simply joins you on the couch and pulls you towards him with the bowl of popcorn resting on your lap.
The movie is indeed not that scary, you kept quoting some of the lines here and there, which earned you a chuckle from Suguru every time.
“No, please don’t kill me Mr. Ghostface I wanna be in the sequel,” you say in the same voice and attitude and your husband runs a hand through your hair.
“I think you’d easily outsmart him,” your husband is very supportive of you, but instead of making fun of his statement, your heart thrums in your chest when you picture Suguru in the ghostface mask.
“Really?” you look up at him through your eyelashes but Suguru is staring ahead and doesn’t notice the eyes you’re giving him.
“Yeah, they’re all pretty stupid—minus Sidney, I mean the fact that—“ your husband goes on a three minute ramble about the plot, how he appreciates the intelligence of the main character all while saying that the choice of the ghostface killers was nice. Unbeknownst to him, you were thinking of something else. Something far dirtier than intended.
“Baby,” you cut him off from his ramble and he hums in response.
“You’d be pretty hot as ghostface.” Suguru looks down on you when you say that and raises both eyebrows knowingly.
“Are you insinuating something?” To which you shrug your shoulders before staring back at the big screen in your living room, playing innocent.
“Just saying.”
You weren’t just saying, you knew exactly what you were doing. The next day, you’re sat on your bed folding laundry while watching the newest episode to your favorite podcast. You liked keeping your brain stimulated, and it distracted you from the fact that your husband was always gone for long hours during the day. But when you hear the keys rustling and the front door opening, you raise an eyebrow but don’t question it. Today’s mission must’ve been quick, you think to yourself.
“Welcome home!” you call out from your bedroom but don’t bother to get up, you knew he would come to your bedroom immediately so you keep your eyes on your computer and go back to folding the laundry.
A couple of minutes pass and Suguru doesn’t walk inside the bedroom, so you start getting a little suspicious and decide to go check on him.
“Sugu?” you walk out of the bedroom and notice how the lights downstairs are turned off. You remember leaving them on for him, so he must’ve turned them off on his way upstairs—but where was he?
“Baby, are you in the shower?” the lights in the bathroom were on but the door was closed. Suguru never walked to the bathroom first without greeting you—unless something was wrong. You put your hand on the door handle, but before you could twist the knob, a warm and rough hand covers your mouth and your blood runs cold when you’re being pulled into a different room.
You don’t have time to scream or panic, because when you’re being pinned to the wall by a rather familiar set of hands, your eyes almost bulge out of your skull when you notice the ghostface mask. You’re breathing heavily, cheeks flushed but there’s no sign of panic because you know who this is—the dragon tattoo peeking out of his shirt and the wedding band on his ring finger are enough evidence.
“Do you like scary movies?” Suguru’s voice sounds silky smooth, but the flirting connotation to it has your heart leaping out of your chest.
“Sugu—“
“Wrong,” he pins both hands above your head and his body is so close to yours that you feel the heat radiating off of it. “Let’s try again, I know my girl is smart.”
Your breath is caught in your throat, but you play along and nod sheepishly.
“Do you like scary movies?”
“Mhm,”
“What’s your favorite scary movie?” He traces a finger over your cheek, and the arousal slowly starts pooling between your legs.
“Hm, I don’t know,” you reply in a similar flirtatious tone, nervousness long gone. The realization that you didn’t have to explicitly tell your husband about the ghostface mask and him buying it for your pleasure made all of this very thrilling.
“You have to have a favorite, what comes to mind?”
“Hm, Halloween,” you stick to the same script of the movie, you buck your hips towards him but he pushes a knee between your legs and pins you again to the wall. “Y’know, the one with the guy with the white mask that walks around and stalks baby sitters?”
“Yeah,” Suguru breathes out and takes in how gorgeous you look like this—how he should’ve thought of doing this a long time ago. Your eyes were blown out with lust, chest heaving in excitement all while allowing him to play with you like this. He could feel his pants tighten and his cock was slowly getting hard from knowing exactly what was coming.
“What’s yours?” you bring him out of his thoughts and although you can’t see his face, you know that he was giving you that signature charming smile that always won over your heart.
“Guess.” He purrs out and you subconsciously start grinding against his knee before giving him a reply.
“Nightmare on Elm Street,”
“Wrong,” Suguru goes off script and your lips part for a moment. You’re about to complain, tell him that this wasn’t in the movie—he lets go of your wrists and throws you over his shoulder, delivering a harsh smack to your ass, his rough hand kneads the skin as he makes his way towards your bedroom.
“Better luck next time,” he throws you on the bed and you let out a gasp when your back hits the mattress. You try to sit up, but your husband grabs your ankles and pulls you down towards the end of the bed. “Now let’s see just how fucking filthy you are,”
He parts your legs with his big hands covering the plush skin of your thighs, and you whine out when he removes your shorts to reveal your panties that had an obvious wet patch on them.
“Fuuuck,” he breathes out and lifts up the mask enough for his mouth and nose to be visible. He presses his nose against your panties and takes a whiff of your arousal, the sight is obscene and your face turns red at how pussy drunk he sounds. “Fuck, fuck—should’ve done this sooner baby, you smell so fucking good,” he gives your pussy a kiss through the fabric of your panties before his fingers remove them so messily that you let out a startled noise.
Suguru dives in between your legs and the wet sounds are dirty and make you feel even more turned on. His tongue laps at your clit, fingers pulling the hood back before spitting on it and your eyes roll to the back of your head when he sucks. Two of his thick fingers prod at your entrance, gathering some of the slick that’s pooled there before pushing a single finger inside.
“Thaaaat’s it, good girl,” he breathes out against your clit before giving it a kiss as he pushes the second finger inside. “Yeah, this pussy loves being stuffed by me—fuck, you’re so wet for me. All because of this mask baby girl?” his tone is playful but you’re far too gone to complain and just mindlessly nod.
“So drunk off of me and I haven’t even given you my cock,” he pumps his fingers in and out of you all while curling them to find that one spot inside you. He licks, sucks and spits on your clit with so much passion and when he finds that one spot, you let him know pretty quickly.
“Oh!” you gasp and your thighs shake. “S-Suguru, oh fuck--!” his wrist is burning as he keeps pumping his fingers in and out of you, and the veins in his forearm are bulging out from the sheer strength he is using to finger fuck you until you see white. His free hand comes down and presses against your stomach to apply pressure and keep you pinned down.
You make the mistake of opening your eyes to stare at him. His hand is covered in your arousal, but what truly pushes you over the edge is the fact that his mask had come down and was covering his face entirely. So when he decides to talk you through it, give you that one final push—the ghostface mask seems to intensify the orgasm tenfold.
“I know you’re a good girl, but I’m gonna need you to get dirty for me baby—there it is, theeere it is,” he sounds proud when you finally cum, and you’re loud. You whine and let out soft cries, your hands weakly push at his arm when he keeps fingering you through your orgasm.
“Suguru—too much!” you cry out and gasp when he pulls his fingers out of your soaking pussy to slap your clit.
“Fuck, you’re gorgeous,” he quickly starts to unbuckle his belt and pushes his pants enough to free his cock. The tip nudges at your folds and your husband hovers over you with his lean stature. Big broad shoulders cover your entire frame and you’re fucked out from your previous orgasm.
“I’m going in baby, let me in,” your legs spread instinctively to welcome him inside of you and you groan when you feel the sheer size of him inside you. Your hands grip at the back of his shirt, but Suguru holds himself up on his forearms so that you look at his mask.
“Yeah, that’s right—look at me baby, filthy fucking girl,” his strokes were slow but hard. His hands grab at the back of your thighs and push them before fucking into you harder. “You like it, huh?” you couldn’t even give a proper response, only mindlessly nodding when you could feel him even deeper inside you.
He pushes your knees to your chest before setting a dizzying pace. You feel so full of him, so full of his thick cock and Suguru’s eyes roll to the back of his head behind his mask every time he felt your pussy squeeze around him. His finger rubs at your clit the same way that you’ve shown him you like it, and the tip of his cock repeatedly nudges against that one spot that has you falling apart underneath him with a loud cry.
Your orgasm hits you hard and Suguru can’t hold it in any longer—he fucks into you for another minute, head buried in your neck as he groans out your name. Your pussy milks him dry, and he fills you up to the brim—to the point where you could feel him leak out of you.
You lay there breathing heavily, and you weakly reach for the ghostface mask and remove it off of your husband to reveal his sweaty forehead and flushed cheeks. He looks gorgeous like that, and you lock eyes for the first time since the entire night and you’re immediately pulled in towards one another.
Suguru kisses you with so much passion, dick still buried deep inside you and your legs stay wrapped around him as you two make out heavily under your sheets that stuck to your sweaty bodies. You pull away for a moment to kiss his forehead and Suguru closes his eyes as he melts at your touch.
“Thank you for that,” you say, so love struck that the man can’t help but chuckle at how breathless you sound.
“Let’s do it again, yeah?”

So here's my thing
Dreamworks has created nothing but absolute BANGERS lately. Movies like "the bad guys" "puss in boots and the last wish" and "trolls band together" ("Teenage Kraken" fell a little short for me during the second half of the movie but the beginning was great) They have a history of making absolute banger sequels, trilogies and movies in general like the previous Kung Fu Panda movies, How to Train Your Dragon, Trolls, and others I'm not thinking of off the top of my head.
Honestly I reacted to Kung Fu Panda three going "really? another one?" and Trolls 2 and 3 going "really? another one?" but Kung Fu Panda 3 ended up being i think my favourite of the trilogy at the time (i havent watched em in a while so this may have changed) and I haven't stopped thinking about Trolls 3 since I watched it. I can't say I think this fourth kung fu panda will be awesome, I can't say it'll be even half as good as some of the stuff Dreamworks has been putting out--not every single one of their movies is gonna be an absolute winner--but I know they seem to respect their movies and treat their sequels with just as much creativity and fun as they do the previous movies.
Honestly I haven't seen anything for music wise, but I also think its okay to give a character a theme and let them keep it to show they've retained that part of their development. Heck, httyd had one of the most iconic scores of all time and that is in all three movies. It's part of the storytelling.
Dreamworks isn't Disney. They aren't going to do what disney has been doing. so you can bet i ain't gonna be bashing them like I would probably be bashing disney. Re-using old villian's powers is a great way to bring in cameos of old villians, like, bRO I BEEN WANTING TO CATCH A GLIMPSE OF TAI LUNG AGAIN FOR Y E A R S. I honestly was a little disappointment we didn't see him in the third movie what with the spirit realm being in it and all. So even if he's only in there for a minute, I think its really cool to see him again.
Point is, dreamworks hasn't done antyhing to make me assume its gonna suck. it looks like a kung fu panda movie and i'm probably gonna enjoy it like a kung fu panda movie whenever i get around to watching it

Alright, Is the Star Wars Fandom Sexist?
As you probably know Daisy Ridley signed onto do another Star Wars film. I welcomed this..... mostly. If they don't reunited the Dyad I'm very curious as to what would be the point (more on that later.) Well, I saw this quote from a recent interview of hers, "I think my take is things get blown out of proportion and the interactions I've ever had with people have been nothing but wonderful and supportive," Ridley said. "I've only ever been embraced. And I think we're going to make a great film."
Now whether or not Ms. Ridley actually feels this way.......she's intelligent enough to say just this. Undeniably, all of the men who have talked shit about her for the past 7,8 odd years will now have softened to her for simply not holding them accountable. Hey, that's the biz kids. Don't make enemies out of your audience. No man wants to be called a sexist even if he actually is one.
Is there sexism in Star Wars? Yes and no. It has never been a straight answer. Now if you ask a lot of men in the Star Wars fandom if they are sexist..... they'll say no. Why? Princess Leia of course! Padme! Strong women who directed men, issued orders and politically led. They did and do support these women. In fact, if you had asked me if the fandom was sexist prior to The Sequel Trilogy I would've said that the SWF is one of the most progressive fandoms for women and has been since the 70s!
Where did it all go wrong?
Well, maybe this
Or, this
Maybe just good ole fashion paranoia. Personally, I think it's a combination of all three. The minute Disney bought Star Wars the fandom was primed to distrust it. Change, for better or worse, was on the horizon. Hell, even worse, corporate change. It's Rage against the Machine raging FOR the machine. Least we forget how Star Wars started...... as a "fuck you" to corporatized assembly-line movie production.
However, we are not her to discuss whether The Sequel Trilogy was good. Debatable..... with the exception of Reylo. That's just iconic. We are here to discuss how on earth Daisy Ridley ending up bearing the majority of the responsibility for its failures. Maybe even more importantly the "Feminization" of Star Wars.
A sane person could tell that. The same people screaming "Star Wars is Dead" for the last seven years are still saying the eulogy. Still going on whining and complaining about it. There is a general rule when franchise start to go off the track - you ignore it was ever made. Godfather 3? Tokyo Drift? Never happened.
If you don't like what Star Wars has become then the first person on your shit list should be it's creator. George Lucas. George could've signed over Star Wars under the guarantee that whatever outline he produced for The Star Wars Sequel Trilogy, Disney HAD to stick to - he didn't. He could've signed on a producer - he didn't. He could've picked someone else except Kathleen Kennedy to replace him - he didn't. Somehow George Lucas has escaped any responsibility in what his life's work has become. Maybe the fandom got it out of their system after the Prequel Road Rage.
News that George Lucas's treatments were thrown out and the extended universe being cancelled didn't exactly calm down the public.
Maybe the next person should JJ Abrams and Kathleen Kennedy for for thinking that there was something wrong with Star Wars. Star Wars already was diverse. It already HAD strong females. Yet, there they went finding problems that didn't exist. Why? Money. Disney has a powerful female/family demographic. Star Wars a strong male demographic. Disney sought to combine the best of all worlds in one franchise and they were the company to do it. Look at what they accomplished with Marvel!
Then the announcement came that there would be a female protagonist. A female Jedi to be exact. I thought this was different and interesting. The men did not. What they saw in there head was THE FORCE IS FEMALE in flashing bright lights. This was it. Confirmation. Star Wars was about to get pussyfied. From the get-go Daisy Ridley's Rey was to be a focus, a target, for the mistrust, uneasiness and rage from the men.
Let's me be clear men are ok girls liking their stuff. As long as girls are not in a position to influence whatever it is they like, or rather "ruin it." Can you blame them? If a bunch of straight dudes came in and started writing Sex and the City I'm telling you- they'd ruin it.
The Force Awakens finally arrives and curiosity was able to lure in even the most salty man. Not to mention the possible joy of seeing Han, Luke and Leia on screen together again. TFA is a perfectly decent film. There were two glaring choices in this film. One, Han is killed. Two, Rey beats Kylo Ren at the end. All things considered we should not have been surprised what the internet had to say. Rey was a Mary Sue. Men who didn't even know what a Mary Sue was were even saying this.
The term “Mary Sue” was first coined in 1973. A young main character, usually a woman, who was portrayed as unreasonably gifted across every discipline: intellect, combat, the arts, etc. This character would often become respected (and maybe even loved) by main characters and would end the story by saving the day in heroic fashion.
You don't have to like Rey. You don't have to love her. Rey isn't even the greatest character ever developed, but come on! I wonderer if the people criticizing her even watched the movie. I heard criticism that Rey was too likable! Well, she's the protagonist. She's too pretty! That's a bad thing? She's too nice! She comes off really brash and naive actually. She's the greatest pilot ever! She flew once and not that well. Most of the criticism around Rey was disingenuous and petty as hell.
Many critics have taken the lazy route of she has no character arc or character, but that’s not a very observant take. Her yearning for family and her desperation for her parents to return, while understandable, made her vulnerable to Kylo Ren. Her loneliness made her ultimately vulnerable to anyone who would be nice to her. Now I understand there was no consequences for her faults. However, there can't be both criticism. She either doesn't have a personality, or, she has one, but doesn't suffer consequences for it.
“How could she fly the Millennium Falcon so well?” “How could she beat Kylo Ren when she’d never used a lightsaber before?” “How could she resist Kylo Ren’s interrogation?” The film answered most of these questions. Ironically, no one questioned the 8 year old Anakin Skywalker or the farm boy Luke Skywalker for being amazing or great at anything because of The Force.
She grew up defending herself in melee combat. Her quarterstaff is not a lightsaber, of course, but it was established early on that she has the instincts and the reflexes to hold her own in a fight. While I don't agree with Rey beating Kylo Ren I understand how it was accomplished. Pure, dumb luck. It was luck that Ren was physically and spiritually crippled during their confrontation. Not to mention he had the hots for you. Finn was able to hold him off mostly because Kylo was toying with him, but when he grew bored Finn ended up face first in the snow. No one questioned how Finn the janitor could wield a lightsaber.
Let's talk about Finn, or rather John Boyega. All things considered pretty lucky guy. He got a likable that he played well and got paid well. You wouldn't know it by listening to him. He complained bitterly. He attacked the fans. He attacked Disney. He attacked America. He got off Scott free with fandom. Most remember him with nothing but fondness. Maybe because he is black people feel slightly uncomfortable going after him. But, the women? No problem. Even when fans hate male characters, they talk about what they hate with nuance.
Daisy Ridley did her job and she went home. She carried on beautifully and respectfully with what she was given by the production team. That is all any actor can do. The same would apply to the girl who played Rose Tico. Yet, criticism of what was happening on screen started to bleed onto the actresses in real life.
Mark Hamill shit talked the Sequel Trilogy - fair, enough. But why did you sign on? It he because he needed a job? Hondo wasn't a great leader. I agree. But, countless people ended up losing their lives due to Poe because he refused to listen to the female authority around him. Where was the fandom with their logic bitterness scorecard? The majority of the criticism I heard (Literally several videos on Youtube) was criticism towards Hondo for not telling a newly demoted soldier all of her plans.
Anywho Rey has this new movie coming out...........okay. Not sure who wants to come back for it other than her. After TROS and the fans most co-stars seem good doing other things. OG characters are killed off. There is one person with stunning jet black hair, 6'3, plush naturally red lips, a big dick, freckles and a heroic run that she's in a dyad with that would make this whole movie worth it. Do I faith they'll do the right thing and pay Adam Driver whatever they need to to bring him back? No. Cause there is a little bit of an agenda. For some reason love in the Star Wars universe doesn't do very well, but for the woman it's none existent. The concept that a strong woman doesn't have to die alone seems odd to the very people that want equality for women. For example I saw this comment, "Rey Skywalker is her own character and her continuing story doesn’t have to revolve around Ben Solo. Daisy Ridley’s return shouldn’t be overshadowed by fan expectation over Adam Driver returning."
Yes, it does. This film needs to work. I cannot stress that enough. You know people want to see this film fail. Reylo isn't purely for sentimental reasons (I WOULD SEE MY DYAD REUNITED FOUR TIMES IN THEATRES) Reylo is the biggest marketing advantage Disney Star Wars has..... you knew that when Solo flopped. Do the smart thing, put these people on mute and give us a iconic fight fuck scene.
Rey also wear clothes appropriate with her environment and match the physical needs of what she needs to accomplish like her male peers. Logical and refreshing. I hear the men mostly complain about the lack of hot women in their fantasy.
We could also talk about the sexism Carrie Fisher faced from the not only the studio, but the fandom for the crime of getting older and gaining weight. Her in a metal bikini is already in the spank bank - she contributed enough.
Again, neither Carrie Fisher nor Daisy Ridley in a smart world could ever really own that. Anymore than the Rose Tico actress could. Worse, they could never really tell the Fanboys what they really think of them. I love me some Fanboys, I do, but they aren't a perfect group of people. They just criticism everyone's work like they are. We're suppose to ignore the giant dump they take on anything and everything that comes out. I genuinely think the people beyond The Star Wars Sequel Trilogy sought out to create a great story. To honor what came before. In many respect they did. They aren't George Lucas though.
There is legitimate criticism towards Disney for how it has handled the Star Wars franchise. Currently it can't exactly be be described as quality over quantity. The writers seem like they are writing for early 00s Disney Channel rather a complex space political fairytale. Characterization has not been wonderful. Again, it's not simple. While Disney has not steered the ship perfectly. I would argue there was an audience sitting in ill will and waiting to be disappointment.

Wilde (1997)
Triggerwarning: Homophobia, Sex (in the movie, not depicted in this blogpost)
Plot: A part of Oscar Wilde’s life story.
Spoilers beyond this
Michael plays Robbie Ross, a good friend to Oscar Wilde and, delicately put, his first male lover.
Following are my incoherent thoughts as I was watching the movie: (some gifs for context, for the other parts watch the movie and you'll get it)
starting out chill with Oscar meeting his future wife
oh who might this dashing young fella be?
lol that didn’t work did it?
Nevermind it did work
I was so not prepared for this
This guy has a lot of thoughts in his head and none of them are holy
Bitch what
If someone looked at me like that I’d instantly fall for them too. Man brought his A-Game
Oh my god this is going too fast even for me and I’m just watching
Why would you give him lines like that?
(I refuse to clip the next part, I don't know who might read this)
What in the what I barely got into the movie, why would you do this to me
I have questions
I have so many emotions at once right now I actually feel a bit sick
I’m 16 Minutes in and my heart is breaking at the thought of where this might be going
Okay, I got used to the fact that I am actually watching a movie about gay men
Me watching a movie about a gay author: (☆ω☆ )
Me when theres actual portayal of intimacy between men: (○ □ ○ )
I swear I’m so normal about this.
Wtf Oscar why would you drop Robbie like that. I get that this was an affair, but like this? He picked that other guy up like an apple from a tree.
Watch Robbie take this like the king he is
Oscar met yet another guy (Bosie) and seems to fall in love with him and guy #2 litterally wants to khs and/or Bosie, while Robbie has only respect, acceptance and love to give.
lol taste of your own medicie, huh?
I hate Bosie
I love Robbie
Drama between Bosie and Wilde, which results in Oscar being sentenced to two years in prison
Oof that speech Oscar held in court tho, right in the feels
Robbie is an absolute treasure of a person. Get yourself a man like him. Don’t settle for less.
Wtf all this stress and heartbreak for Oscar and Bosie to break up after three months, the world is a cruel place
- End of incoherent thoughts-
That was heartbreaking in so many ways. The main story obviously is unbelievably tragic but we shall focus on other things.
There are a lot of strong performances in this movie, the whole cast was quite good.
You can strongly feel the love Robbie has for Oscar, he has this soft tone when he talks to or about him, he wants him to be happy even if it means that he himself wont be. He accepts that Oscar doesn’t love him the same way and still supports his friend under any circumstances. It's not just in the dialouge, it's also in the way Robbie talks to and looks at Oscar. He’s pure kindness, love and devotion.
He cares so much for him it's breaking my poor little heart :c
On a less serious note, my guy really went ahead and had his first on-screen kiss be a gay kiss!?! Fuckin hell! And he did so well! Icon, king, legend, right from the start!
Because there aren't enough gifs in this already, have some more little moments I enjoyed :3
✨Puppy dog eyes✨
Good save xD
Why would you hold it like that?
I don't even know why, just thought he looked dashing in this scene
Me too, Robbie, me too.
I probably could've written more, but that wouldn't do the movie and characters justice. Bosie's full brattiness alone is something I couldn't even capture in gifs. Kudos to Jude Law, he really made me hate that character. He's the exact opposite of Robbie. They had only two scenes together I think, but it's awesome to see their personalities clash.
I’d say you should check this movie out, especially if you’re lgbt+ yourself obviously. And then go ahead and read Oscar Wildes works, they're queer history and in general important literature anyone should know.
At the end of this I have learned that I, in fact, don’t hate love drama, I just like it if it's gay. And preferably has a certain actor in it.

some old stuff I found on pinterest (and below interesting things) - Part 1
Picture 1
“One minute Taylor is busting out lyrics and being adorable in front of the camera, and the next she is like high-fashion model”
Q: What type of music are you into right now?
TS: A Late’80s pop. One of my favorite songs is “She Drives Me Crazy”, by Fine Young Cannibals.It was so ahead of its time.
App she loves – 8MM vintage camera
TS: “It lets you put a cool, 1960s-style filter on iPhone videos and gives clips a moody grain”
Picture 2
COSMOGIRL 2009
TS: "My newest hobby is going to wal-mart and putting my CD in front of others in the rack. I have no shame in it!"
Picture 3
Seventeen Magazine (2008)
Q: Do you think that he ( the guy from “Should’ve Said No”) secretly likes being named in your songs? TS: Yeah, probably. Those kinds of guys like getting attention – because I mean, what else is he doing? He’s probably with six different girls who don’t know that they’re being played.
Q: Has he (Drew from “Teardrops on My Guitar”) contacted you?
TS: Actually, he showed up in my driveway a couple of months ago, and it was like in the movies where at the end the guy shows up in your driveway, and you have this awesome kiss – except it’s three years too late. I’m like, Why didn’t you do this years ago ?!? He was stranger by then, so I felt like I didn’t know him anymore.
Q: Do you ever write songs about anyone other than yourself?
TS: “Tied Together With a Smile” is about a girl I knew my freshman year. She was absolutely Miss Popular, a pageaant girl, and she looked perfect every day! Always had the cutest outfits, always looked teh best at prom. But sometimes when you get a litle closer to people who look that perfect, you realize that they don’t feel perfect.They feel they’re ugly. And that’s what happened with this girl- I became closer friends with her, and one day she confessed that she was bulimic.
Q: How did that make you feel?
TS: It was really hard for me to take. But I never want to make someone feel horrible. do not deserve to be treated like that. I try to reason with them and be calm about it. After a while, I was just like, "You don't need to do that anymore." So I played that song for her, and I said, "Who do you think that's about?" And honestly, I don't think she ever did it after that.
Q: Have you ever felt bad about the way you look?
TS: Everybody does! Everybody looks in the mirror and is like, I wonder why her eyes are huge and mine are smaller. But I realized that if you’re lucky enough to be different from everybody else, don’t change.
Q: Do you ever wonder what it would be like to be someone eise?
TS: Oh, my gosh, if I were a different person and I could start all over, I would want to be Hayley Williams from Paramore! I think she’s awesome, and their music is amazing. But you know, I love country music more than anything in the world – I would never change what I do.
Picture 4
“I’ve seen a lot of you get new cars”, she joke to those who worked on the album (Fearless)
Picture 5
YOU (2009)
FAVORITE BOOK – Who Will Cry When You Die? By Robin S. Sharma. It’s a self-help but It’s na easy read. Every page has a new thing you can do to show the people you love that they matter to you. It makes you appreciate what you have. I have a lot more good days now that I’ve read that.
STYLE ICON – Cahrlize Theron. Thank you for saying I look a bit like her – taht makes my whole week.
BEAUTY PRODUCTS – My favourite lip colour is Dragon Girl by Nars;l realy like Armani make-up and there's a perfume that l get when ľ'm in the UK called Midnight Rain by La Prairie. And I love Jo Malone candles.
I: As ever, she sounds too good to be true . It might be one reason why. If we're being honest what eveyone realy wants to see is Taylor Swit being a litte bit naughty. Surely the teetotal Pollyanna façade must have cracks? Anyway, wouldn’t a bit of teenage rebellion be healthy?
TS: “I've been given the freedom to do whatever I want. I'm 19 –if want to storm out of the house and go to a club and get drunk and take my clothes off and run naked through Nashville, I can do that. I just really would rather not. I's as simple as that. It's not like I’ve been beaten down by some corporation that's forcing me to always behave myself - l just naturally do. Sometimes people are fascinated by the fact that I don't care about partying. almost to the point where they think it's weird.l think when we get to the point where it's strange for you to not be stumbing around high on something at 19, t's a warped world.”
Picture 6
PEOPLE, 2009
Q: You just gave a $250,000 donation to schools you had previously attended or worked with. Why schools?
TS: The schools that I went to and the amazing people I got to learn from relly turned me into who I am, and I wanted to give back.
Q:If you’ve done all this by the time you turned 20, what do you want to do bu the time you turn 30?
TS:I think I’d like to have made a couple more albums that I’m really proud of. I’d like to have a house. I’m not the kid the girl who makes a goal for herself of getting married or starting a family. I’ve never really put a timeline on those sorts of things. So I don’t have any personal goals by the time I’m 30.
(midnight rain vibe)
Picture 7
Q: What would you say is your biggest love “don’t” ?
TS: No one wants to be with someone who desperately needs them. You should want the other person and love him, but you shouldn’t need him. If you depend on him for your happiness, that’s not good ,because what will you do when it ends?
Picture 8
TIGER BEAT
I CALLED THIS ALBUM RED BECAUSE.. “all the different emotions written about on this album, they’re all about the tumultuous, crazy, insane, intense, semitoxic relationships that I’ve experienced in the last two years. In my mind, all of those emotions are red.”
(I think this is the first time I see her referring to this relationship as toxic before 2022)
Picture 9
BOP 2012
Taylor Swift looks down at the floor as she talks about the songs on her new album, Red (it comes out October 22). "They're sad, if I'm being honest,"she confesses. Tay's big blue eyes get a little teary as she thinks about her life right now.In the last two years. Tay says she's felt "all of those emotions, travels around spanning from intense love,intense the workd with frustration, jealousy and confusion." She also admits. "There's been this earth-shattering. not recent, but absolute crash-and-bum neartbreak."
(in this interview they are weird about her parents divorce)

11, 18 & 28 for the song game please xx
ah hi love how are you??💌 these were so fun ty <33
11. three favourite songs from movie or TV series soundtrack
- mystery of love by sufjan stevens... i know it's a basic answer but it had to be there... he put his whole pussy into it okay
- a huge tree in the tsukamori forest by joe hisaishi (totoro was my fav movie as a kid and this song is still so nostalgic to me <33)
- merry christmas mr lawrence by ryuichi sakamoto (this song just elevated the movie so much it really made the scenes feel like magic <3)
18. three songs that remind you of your best friend
- the kick inside by kate bush (we both love this one and often dance to it at her place and it's so so lovely)
- she dances by billie marten (she howls as she dances!! i just think she really embodies this song i should probably send it to her)
- back to black by amy winehouse (she performed this on stage once at school so it's always hers in my mind now)
28. three best songs to get drunk or high to
okay i was thinking songs that i would play with friends while getting ready to go out but if i was having a more chill night in i'd probably play my pure gold or 60's-80's rock lists🦋 but yeah these are more like hype songs lmao
- hittiputki (hit stream) by leidit!! okay this is a very finnish thing but i had to mention it because it's the best thing ever and i always play it with my friends <3 basically in 2000 someone decided to combine a bunch of old iconic songs from finnish iskelmä queens and made this 9 minute banger out of them,, the songs are all ridiculous but everyone knows and loves them and it's still played at every club to get people hyped up
- papa don't preach by madonna (personal fave and soo fun to sing)
- alejandro by lady gaga (a banger to get ready and drunk to i love it)

For the ask game! 16, 37 and 43
16. have you ever wanted to tell someone something but you didn’t?
yeah usually like cussing out my toxic family members but then i didn't because i realized it was healthier and more effective to just cut them off entirely <3 i could have verbally destroyed my stepdad with a single sentence but i am actually better than he is so instead i just don't talk to him at all lmao
37. favourite actor/actress
idk if i have one, because usually my favorite actors are just whoever play the blorbos of whatever series i'm currently fixated on, so it varies from time to time. and even then i wouldn't say they're favorites because i just like their characters, not necessarily them as a person (side-eyes d*rk and dw*ght) lmao.
hmm, in honor of the origin of my url i'm gonna say Bill Pullman.
he's just so iconic and i'm always happy to see him on screen and he gives me a whole heckin' lot of gender envy lol i have literally taken photos of him to a salon and been like GIMME THE HAIR (he has had the same goddamn hair style his entire career, i dare you to find a photo of him where his hair isn't this same basic style lol like it varies in length but it's always the same cut and i LOVE it)
he's in like. so many of my favorite movies. Zero Effect (blog url inspo), While You Were Sleeping (fave romcom), Brain Dead (fave psychological/existential horror movie), Independence Day (...one of my fave sci-fi/alien movies), Spaceballs (...I wouldn't actually call this a favorite movie of mine tbh but like it's so fucking iconic I can't not mention it), AND there's this super cringe scene in Mr. Wrong (terrifying movie, it's billed as a comedy but it's legit a horror film to me lmao, do not recommend) where he sings Hold The Line by Toto (my favorite band) really badly and it's just. So iconic. almost ruined the song for me. almost. (no one can ruin Toto for me. 'tis not possible.)
43. favourite song ever
oh come on you can't do that to me, i can't pick a fave song ever, that's not a thing, i don't know how to do that :')
but as i mentioned Toto... it's gonna be one of theirs, lol. i can't even choose one goddammit i'll do a top three (stRUGGLING EVEN TO DO THAT... THE 'TISM CANNOT CHOOSE)
gonna put Rosanna first because it's the first song I remember rocking out to when i was like 3 years old in my car seat and telling my dad to turn up the car radio
next up Can't Stand It Any Longer because EVERYTHING ABOUT IT IS PERFECTION, from Joe Williams' vocals to the melody to the beat to the ALL THE MUSIC TERMS I'M NOT EDUCATED ENOUGH TO COMMENT ON IN DETAIL hskjdfhkjsdhfdjksf
aaand as much as it pains me to only choose one more i'll go with one from the Isolation album so you can hear another vocalist (the amount of vocalists this band has had... and they're all so talented in their own ways and GAWWWWWWD I LOVE THIS FUCKIN BAND SO MUCH I'M GONNA SCREAM),, anyway here's Endless:
i could literally talk about Toto all day so i'm gonna have to cut myself off here before this becomes an infodump lmao
............actually i'm gonna put one last song because it came up in the recommended sidebar and Joe is fucking adorable in this video and gives me a lot of gender envy and YES THAT'S PAULA ABDUL DANCING,, WHY WASN'T THIS ONE OF THEIR BIGGEST HITS I DON'T UNDERSTAND
....a..and... um... listen i hate listing 4 things because that doesn't feel rounded out so here's one more to make it a nice rounded 5,, featuring Steve Lukather as a BABY (okay he's like 21 but he looks like a baby) and because I can't list a bunch of Toto songs and not feature any from their 70s era:
i need those rainbow suspenders.
...okay sorry sorry i was entirely possessed by my autism for a minute there 😅 thus concludes the post. thanks for the asks and for opening up my big chaotic box of obsession lol.

ALSO angsty hcs for taylor???
Offering these angst crumbs to you! >:3c
---
💔 Angsty headcanons
(childhood memory)
Before his mom switched jobs, he only saw her in the morning before work or late at night if he managed to stay up. Staying up wasn't easy though....not until he found some old dvds in storage one day. He spent a lot of time as a kid exploring the house and backyard, so he'd seen the storage room before. However, his mom told him not to go in there without her since there might be glass and sometimes the door jams if you let it swing shut. It was one of the few rules he tried his best to listen to for awhile.
She went on a week trip and she had relatives over checking on him. None of them were his mom, so he spent most of that week daydreaming of a world where he was also a movie star and could be on set with her. Taylor was a cheery kid though and there was still plenty of fun to be had otherwise. But the longer she was away, the more he wanted to go explore that room. Finally, the week was coming to an end and he managed to avoid breaking the promise!
He gets a video call while on the couch, of his mom trying to explain in the gentlest way that a storm delayed her flight. She'll be home around three am and that she's sorry about having to cancel the little return dinner at their fav family restaurant tonight. His relatives had already left for the day, so he eats leftovers from last night's meal alone and rubs at his eyes. The kid lingers in front the house door for thirty minutes after putting his dishes into the dish washer and then heads to bed.
Instead of ending up in front his mom's room, Taylor stands in front the storage room. He goes in and makes sure to use one box to keep the door propped open. It's atleast ten minutes before he happens upon this box at the far left side with the words 'Nicky's stuff part 1'. He coughs and sneezes, brushing away the dust on it and opens it to find several old dvds and abandoned USB drives.
Its how he ends up watching death note on his mom's second laptop while bundled in blankets and clutching pillows. The kid, about 6, is so sucked in by the lively and dark animated scenes that he doesn't even notice 3 am roll by.
Or the sound of an engine coming close and turning off
Or keys opening the door
Or even the bedroom door squeaking open
Taylor made a habit of always sleeping in his mom's room when she was gone since it smelled like her (or her perfume). Bundling up in the covers was almost like a hug.
Still can't compare to how it felt to look up from the screen and see his mom at the door. The feel of her hair tickling his cheeks and her arms tucking him in close as she swept him right into a hug and then flopped onto the bed, nearly knocking the laptop over. She didn't even mention the obvious storage box on the floor, only talking about how much she'd missed him and loved him. As she talked and he hugged onto her as tightly as he could muster, Taylor says a few muffled love yous and a 'welcome home, Mom' before their affectionate little conversation and his mom's warm hug lulls him to sleep.

saw ranking i binged them all again
one > six > two > four > five > three > spiral > jigsaw > 3d
saw 1 at the top. the forerunner. the patient zero, james wan played god and saw was his Light. i had to pay my respects to it and also Adam Stanheight is in it, one of the best characters period. living breathing memorable quote machine. the most cohesive one, one of the better law enforcement plots, the ending... i don't have to talk about it, we all know how iconic it is. i'll just say leigh whannell's scream still sends chills up my spine.
saw 6 had the best spectacle, best traps, great cinematography, also amanda's in it. the last bang for the franchise before the next three movies after it didn't reach anywhere near its caliber, let alone like... saw 5's caliber. the ending is iconic. i'm disappointed that william didn't survive and it would have been interesting for him to be the only main game subject to live ( i'm indirectly declaring saw 3d non-canon). but rodrick heffley did kill a man so atleast i can walk away with this tidbit of information to share to unknowing fools who never saw this franchise. the scene with THE HOFFMANATOR and the voice descrambler was the most fucking stressed i felt during a movie since i saw rob zombie's halloween 2 i was fucking Sick. even though I knew what was going to happen. bravo greutert
saw 2 was a better follow-up than some ppl give it credit for even though it's also the one where the participants get a little stupider. addison's trap was such a perfect example of this, but can i be mad at it? no. because the first time i saw it i guffawed so loudly. im pretty sure my friends are scared of my sick sense of humor. anyways this is the only film where we get to see john kramer in action where he's not in a flashback or immobilized state, and he's a glorious cunt to watch. my deeply self-delusional serial killer blorbo. donnie wahlberg is so fun to watch. he's so angry. all the nerve gas house participants are also pretty fun to watch even though they're all blank slates with one max personality trait i love them. obi tate i will never forget you and your 5 minutes of screentime... love you honey...
saw 4 is funnier than people give it credit for. a lot of this series is, actually. legendary transitions. eric matthews befriends a little rat friend. introduces THE HOFFMANATOR properly. rigg's addiction to going through doors. every bizarre twist in the last fifteen minutes. an entire potential arc from the last movie getting cut short abruptly by strahm shooting one of the worst characters in the franchise to death. i would pick this for a movie night with the boys
saw 5 has also plenty of funny moments. the fatal five's game becomes a really mean comedy with how they simply refuse to work together as a team. even though it was glaringly obvious from the tapes that they were supposed to. mallick's actor overplays his part and its magnificent. more THE HOFFMANATOR action. strahm performs a tracheotomy on himself to escape a trap and he sounds funny for the rest of the film.
saw 3 was carried by bahar soomekh and especially shawnee smith Period. jeff completely drags it down. otherwise it'll be higher. justice for amanda young and allison kerry. i think i would have connected with saw 4 more in a genuine way if kerry was being tested.
spiral, similarly to saw 3, has chris rock dragging down everything. he feels like a pretty stiff actor. luckily he's more bearable to watch than jeff or bobby. that said, having the bousmaniac back at the helm brought back some of the extremely bizarre editing choices that fuel this series' trademark humor. the shaking camera shot that looks like it was made by a rookie in sony vegas pro... chef's kiss mwah.
jigsaw is legitimately bad. weak cast of characters which these movies always have but this cast is weaker than usual. i don't remember anything about halloran and logan except corrupt cop and ex military jiggy apprentice respectively. i dont remember what kind of personality eleanor has. i don't tgink i was paying attention to this half the time except for the barn game which also wasn't super good
saw 3d... the opening trap (misogynistic implications aside), the horsepower trap and THE HOFFMANATOR were the only Really good moments. the new gibson guy is one of the best actors which i mean that he's one of the worst actors. bizarre lines, even more bizarre delivery. the bobby plotline is the worst main game bar none and the only one in the series i would genuinely call torture porn. i can take away some element of humor from jeff being slow ass motherfucker but not this. the traps aren't intriguing enough. the trap involving a woman having to not make a peep at all is so Subtle. and joyce did NOT deserve that. i still don't know how to feel about gordon being an accomplice... i don't know how to make it make sense for his character and his development...

Thoughts on Meg 2: The Trench
After many months of avoiding the movie, I finally watched it.
Contrary to what I initially thought, I actually really enjoyed the movie, it was good. It's a fun movie with fun moments and great characters with great moments. There's also a lot of heartwarming and wholesome moments which was what I was looking for as I watched the movie. The bond between Meiying and Jonas really squeezed at my heart, and Jiuming was a great addition.
If I had a penny for every time Jason Statham's characters was a fatherly figure/father to a child, I'd have three pennies. He's great with kids and it really shined in this movie.
Concerning my previous thoughts and frustrations with how they handled Suyin Zhang, after watching the movie, I've made some peace with it. Although I still think that they should've handled it better because she deserves better than a brief montage on the screen, but I'm ok with it. To an extent.
Anywho...
I'm glad to see more of Mac and Jonas being besties, they're bantering and bond is great, along with Jiuming as well, the trio we didn't know we needed! Jiuming and Jonas were two dads with their daughter and Mac is the fun uncle :)
I think Jiuming was alright in the movie, although I feel like his character was kind of bland at times. Idk if that's just me, but yep. Still a great addition to the movie though!
Loved how DJ really just brought his A-Game on and came prepared for everything, not repeating past mistakes. It was amazing and I was cheering for him so much!!
"I trained up, I learned how to fight, I learned how to swim, and I will never go anywhere without my survival pack." ATTA BOY
"You got tasers? Now you can swim? All of a sudden you're running around like you're Batman." (I literally choked on my water and doubled down laughing when I heard Mac say this 😂)
Pippin, the icon, made an appearance in the movie and I ain't complaining.
Love love LOVE Melissanthi Mahut ❤️
Jonas kissing Meiying's forehead was such a father thing and it really made me "aww" for a good minute. Their relationship in this movie was everything to me, and I'm glad they delivered <3 (also Meiying was wonderful all throughout the movie).
+ "Your mom loved this place more than anything."
"I'm glad I finally get to see it."
"I love you too." & "You know I love you."
- also did anyone notice the “🤏🏻” that jonas did was from suyin?
Excuse me while I cry in the corner 🥹🥹🥹
Overall, great movie! I really enjoyed it, and I'm looking forward to the time I rewatch both movies later on down the road. Jason Statham never disappoints, the rest of the cast did a great job and I'd be up for a Meg 3! (didn't know the post would get this long but oh well)

my (maybe unpopular) opinions on thor: love and thunder
because I have now finally watched this movie with my family and am absolutely ready to make it everyone’s problem.
! careful, spoilers below the cut !
so first of all, being a bisexual and watching this movie was an absolutely fucking blessing
I really enjoyed seeing the guardians of the galaxy again omg! can’t wait for their movie next year
also im probably gonna get hate for this but Peter Quill was FINE this movie
that one scene in the beginning (it was like three seconds) where Peter is shooting things from out of the water? hot not gonna lie to you
mantis was so pretty, I loved the little green/blue highlights her and valkyrie had in their hair
korg, my favorite storyteller
valkyrie in casual clothes😩
valkyrie in her fighter uniform😩😩
just valkyrie😩😩😩😩😩
also that one blonde valkyrie being confirmed as val’s girlfriend? uh, yes?
jane was such a badass I love her
also I don’t know what people are on but this movie was actually really funny
sure, nothing could ever be compared to ragnarok, but the humor was great, I don’t know why everyone said that it wasn’t
I loved the sword’s shadow-magic
< korg 3
I’m not gonna say I cried for the few seconds that he was dead, but I cried for the few seconds that he was dead
valkyrie being bathed in golden blood???? this changed me😩
let’s not forget about darcy here tho🫶
I really enjoyed gorr as a villain, and his whole desert-outfit-black-and-white-shadow-theme, it was quite haunting somehow
the children’s fighting scene was EPIC it kinda reminded me of the one in ragnarok where they all fought hela’s army on the bifrost
that one little girl with her killer stuffed rabbit? iconic.
loved that they brought back the re-enactments of the loki and thor adventures
the sound track SLAYED. literal goosebumps
guns’n’roses.
SPACE DOLPHINS
stormbreaker’s jealousy was hilarious
didn’t know heimdall had a son, but good for him man, good for him.
valkyrie and korg’s friendship was so sweet
also val and jane were girlfriends in this movie you can’t change my mind
my wife sif absolutely slayed her two minutes of screentime
the relationship between thor and his adopted niece daughter was so adorable
anyone else loves the first credits? like, the colorful ones? I don’t know but they were so cool
heimdall and jane’s reunion in valhalla made me a little bit emotional I’m not gonna lie
also thor really got the “lose everyone you love” premium gold subscription
that’s it folks, overall I really enjoyed the movie and if you have something to add, feel free to do so!

10 Best Punk Movies & How to Stream Them
We're not talking about Dirty Harry's idea of a punk. Obviously. We're talking about good ole punk rock. And before you scan the list and freak out because you don't see The Decline of Western Civilization or American Hardcore or A Band Called Death, relax — we're also only talking about scripted films. No documentaries were considered (or harmed) during the making of this list of the best punk movies ever made.
We used 3 criteria when watching these films (and many others) in order to arrive at our best punk movies list.
Punk characters should be portrayed in a genuine light, rather than as a caricature (see the Dishonorable Mentions section below for more on this).
How much the punk ethos is a factor in the film's story.
How good (and enjoyable) the movie is.
But, you may ask, isn't the idea of "best movie" or "most punk" antithetical to the essence of punk? That's beyond the scope of this post and also — don't be that guy. So without further ado...
Our picks for the 10 best punk movies in history
#10: Smithereens (1982)
Watching this in retrospect, this feels like the rough draft of filmmaker Susan Seidelman next film, the much more successfulDesperately Seeking Susan, which starred an up-and-coming star by the name of Madonna.
This is actually more post-punk or new wave than punk, but it co-stars Richard Hell, so it deserves a place on this list. The low budget film has its lovers and haters, so it's definitely not for everyone. But if you like Clerks and have a soft spot for pre-gentrified Greenwich Village, this is the film for you.
Soundtrack punk cred:
Richard Hell and NYC underground indie rockers, The Feelies, who are post-punk at best.
Where to stream it: Max, Criterion Channel
Check out our Max Review to see if it's worth it to you.
#9: Green Room (2016)
A struggling punk band plays a last-minute gig at warehouse in the woods. It's an A24 film, so obviously things go wrong... and get bloody.
While it's really more of a horror/thriller film rather than a movie about punk, the plot hinges on the eternal conflict between punks and Nazi skins. There are plenty of "legit" punk references, like Fugazi and GBH stickers, a Minor Threat t-shirt, and most importantly, the band decides to play a certain Dead Kennedys song to a room full of red laces.
Soundtrack punk cred: Dead Kennedys (cover), Bad Brains, Poison Idea, Fear
Where to stream it: Max, DirecTV Stream
#8: We Are the Best! (Vi ar bast!) (2013)
Sweden circa 1985, three middle-class junior high school girls in Stockholm start a punk band. They're the most entertaining and outspoken fictional all-girl punk trio since The Stains, and like The Stains, they can't play. (Well, one of them can.)
They reflect on that age-old important question — What is punk? — with bassist Klara lamenting at one point that her older brother no longer listens to punk, but listens to Joy Division!
While the Swedish coming-of-age film offers a taste of early Swedish punk, it's really a heartwarming tribute to adolescent angst and female friendships. The 3 outcasts deal with bullies, boys, religion, and divorce, while lyricizing about everything from politics to nuclear radiation.
Anyone who ever picked up an instrument in their youth to make noise with friends will probably see a lot of themselves in this film.
Soundtrack punk cred: Ebba Grön, KSMB
Where to stream it: Max, DirecTV Stream
#7: SLC Punk (1998)
Two anarcho-punks hang out and question life in Salt Lake City in 1985 — which appears to be a popular year for punk movies to be set in. An kicking off with The Exploited's Sex and Violence for the opening credits is as good a way to start as any.
The film, while a comedy, focuses on the true meaning of the punk subculture and ethos more than other movies on this list. It's not the tightest screenplay ever brought to the big screen, but Sid couldn't play bass worth a damn, and he became an icon.
Besides, SLC Punk is worth watching just for the scene with 2 affluent parents giving a pep talk to their purple-mohawked son.
Soundtrack punk cred:
The Exploited, The Suicide Machines, The Stooges, Ramones, Minor Threat, Dead Kennedys, Adolescents
Where to stream it: Not on streaming services, but available to rent on Prime Video, Vudu, Apple TV, and more.
#6: Bomb City (2017)
Based on the true story of punk promoter Brian Deneke, this 2017 crime-thriller won over a dozen awards at film festivals.
In a punks vs. jocks story straight out of a Dead Kennedys lyrics sheet, it follows the days leading up to the horrifying murder 20 years before the film. It's one of those films where it's better to not to know much about it before watching, but even if you know the real story, it's one to watch.
Soundtrack punk cred:
Total Chaos, Subhumans (UK), Blanks 77, Blatz, and Filth.
Where to stream it: Prime Video, Fubo, Peacock, Paramount+, MGM+
FASTs: The Roku Channel and Tubi
Check out our reviews for Prime, Peacock, Paramount+, and MGM+ to see if one suits your needs.
#5: Ladies and Gentlemen, The Fabulous Stains (1982)
Newly formed all-girl punk band The Stains may have only had 3 practices, but that doesn't stop them from landing a gig as the opening act for touring British punk band The Looters.
Starring a 15-year-old Diane Lane (and 13-year-old Laura Dern), the satirical rebuke of media sensationalism and commercialism is as relevant today as it was 40+ years ago.
Soundtrack punk cred:
The bands on the soundtrack are all fictional, but band The Looters consists of punk royalty Steve Jones, Paul Cook, and Paul Simonon and actor Ray Winstone.
Where to stream it: It's not on any streaming services, but it's available for rent at the usual suspects like Amazon, Apple TV, and Vudu. Microsoft currently seems to be the cheapest option by a buck.
Library streamers: Kanopy
#4: Sid and Nancy (1986)
If punk didn't hate the monarchy, Sid Vicious and Nancy Spungen would be its king and queen.
A twentysomething Gary Oldman essentially was Sid Vicious for countless 80s suburban punks and Chloe Webb won awards for her portrayal of the perennially troubled Nancy. Courtney Love, whose own life would eerily imitate art a few years later, has a small role in the film.
Former Pistols frontman John Lydon (née Rotten) criticized Alex Cox's follow-up to Repo Man for its inaccuracies, but what biopic doesn't suffer (or benefit) from artistic license?
Soundtrack punk cred: Circle Jerks, Joe Strummer, The Pogues, Steve Jones, Gary Oldman sings 2 songs as Sid Vicious
Where to stream it: IndieFlix
FASTs: Plex
It is NOT available to rent online.
#3: Hard Core Logo (1996)
Bruce Macdonald's masterpiece gets the bronze medal on our list of punk movies. The Canadian mockumentary follows punk band Hard Core Logo on a final reunion tour across Western Canada. As egos bulge and tensions mount, frontman Joe Dick does everything in his power to hold the band together and make it through the tour.
Punk cameos include Joey Shithead, Joey Ramone, and Art Bergman as themselves. And punky Canadian alt rockers Billy Talent named themselves after the Hard Core Logo guitarist.
Often referred to as punk's Spinal Tap, the film is far from being derivative, and Hard Core Logo is must-see viewing for any self-respecting punk.
Soundtrack punk cred: Teenage Head, Ramones
Where to stream it: Hard Core Logo is not currently available on any streaming services.
Library streamers: Hoopla
#2: Repo Man (1984)
Two years before Sid and Nancy, recent UCLA grad Alex Cox wrote and made his directorial debut, which (IMO) is the best film of his career. Emilio Estevez stars as an L.A. punk who gets a job repossessing cars with Harry Dean Stanton. And chasing down a '64 Chevy Malibu that might be connected to E.T.
The film initially had a rather brief cinema run. But thanks to the killer soundtrack, it crawled back into theaters and pulled in almost $4 million at the box office, on its way to becoming a cult classic and must-see film. And #2 on our list of the best punk movies.
Soundtrack punk cred: Iggy Pop, Black Flag, Circle Jerks, Suicidal Tendencies, The Plugz, Fear
Where to stream it: Incredibly, Repo Man is not streaming anywhere. But it's available to rent almost everywhere, including Apple TV, Amazon Prime Video, YouTube, and Vudu.
#1: Suburbia (1984)
Penelope Spheeris, whose The Decline of Western Civilization is the definitive American punk documentary, was also at the helm of the definitive 80s punk movie.
Produced by Roger Corman, the coming-of-age film revolves around suburban punk squatters and the L.A. punk scene of the early 80s. Spheeris chose to have street kids (rather than actors) play most rolls, and one of the punks is a young Flea, before he joined the Red Hot Chili Peppers.
The film includes live performances by D.I., T.S.O.L., and The Vandals. Read more about the movie in this Georgia Straight interview with Spheeris from 2018 to further understand why this is our pick to top the best punk movies ever made.
Soundtrack punk cred: D.I., T.S.O.L., The Vandals, The Germs
Where to stream it: Fandor, Night Flight Plus
FASTs: Tubi, Vudu Free, Shout TV, Freevee, Plex
Dishonorable Mentions
Our list of the best punk movies doesn't include 2 movies that commonly come up in the conversation. And that's because they don't meet our first criterion. But if you're looking for movies centered around campy Hollywood versions of punks, check out Class of 1984 (released in 1982) and The Return of the Living Dead (1985).
Class of 1984 stars Perry King from 80s detective show Riptide and the original Melrose Place, as well as Roddy McDowall, Canada's "King of Kensington" Al Waxman, and a pre-Family Ties Michael J. Fox. Filmed in Toronto, the highlight is a cameo performance by local Canadian punk legends, Teenage Head. The film's non-punk theme song, I Am the Future, is by a very non-punk Alice Cooper.
The Return of the Living Dead follows the formula of most of the films in the franchise genre, but this time the group of humans frantically trying to save their brains from being devoured are, you guessed it, punkers.
Predictability aside, it's one of the best in the series and a personal zombie flick favorite. It even did alright at the box office, bringing in $14 million on a $4 million budget. Roger Ebert even gave it 3 out of 4 stars. Soundtrack highlights include tracks by The Cramps, TSOL, The F.U.'s and The Damned.
Which streaming service is the most punk?
Based on the number of movies from our list of best punk movies, with its historically edgy HBO library, Max is the most punk streaming service out there. Obviously being owned by megacorporation Warner Bros. Discovery takes a bite out of its punk cred, but we live in a world where punk rock stars are worth $100 million.
Was Crass right when they declared Punk is Dead all the way back in 1978, or do you side with The Exploited and agree that Punks Not Dead? Either way, it's hard to argue with Jello in those opening lines of Chickenshit Conformist...
Punk's not dead, it just deserves to die
when it becomes another stale cartoon...

The Devil Bat (1940)
Sometimes, you dig through the films that have fallen into the public domain and find some gems. Most of the time, you find the likes of The Devil Bat.
Dr. Paul Carruthers (Lugosi) is beloved by the town of Heathville. Particularly by the Morton and Heath families, whom he’s made rich by developing several of the beauty products they sell. Bitter and resentful of their fortunes, Carruthers has devised an elaborate means of getting revenge. Using electricity, he’s enlarged an ordinary bat to enormous size and trained it to attack anyone wearing a new aftershave he’s developed. After several murders, reporter Johnny Layton (Dave O’Brien) and his sidekick photographer “One-Shot” McGuire (Donald Kerr) begin investigating.
If the plot sounds needlessly complicated and dumb, it's because it is. Carruthers’ plan has way too many phases. Step one: train ordinary bats to attack anyone wearing a very specific scent. Step two: use his SCIENCE! to enlarge one of these bats. Step three: convince his targets to try the aftershave he’s developed. Step four: release the animal from its cage. Hopefully, it rips his target's’ throat out. Meanwhile, he’s got to cross his fingers hoping the police don’t connect him and the victims’ death, a task that would be pretty hard considering he’s always the last person they talk to before getting shredded.
The plot is ludicrous and made more comical by several unintentional quirks in the direction and set design. To release the Devil Bat, Carruthers has to open a secret door in a bookcase which leads to a secret room. In this secret room, there’s a hidden door in the wall which leads to a staircase. At the top is another room whose entrance is hidden in a wall. That final room, by the way, has a window which opens to the outside. After the first murder, you figure the police will need some time to connect the victim to our villain but no! Since no one saw the bat attack the first Heath son, they assume a person attacked him despite 1) the killer getting away fast as lightning 2) the strange bite marks and scratches around the victim’s neck and shoulders 3) the “rat-like” hairs found on the man’s clothing 4) the animal-like shrieks heard as the man’s sister, Mary (Suzanne Kaaren) ran towards him. Imagine going through all these hoops and still becoming suspect #1.
Watching the characters slowly piece together what would be obvious to everyone watching even if the “twist” wasn’t revealed in the first scene is funny. I’ll give the special effects a break - the bats featured don’t look much better than the ones alongside Lugosi in 1931’s Dracula - but the dialogue is so wooden and clunky it feels like a first draft. The characters show no emotion whatsoever. Even after their loved ones are violently killed. I’ve seen stronger reactions from people who spilled a drink than from Mary after her brother is torn apart! Everyone’s a cartoon, with Lugosi faring the best out of everyone. I guess because at least his hamminess fits the part of a mad scientist obsessed with bats.
Classic horror-movie connoisseurs may find their interests peaked when they see Bela Lugosi’s name in the credits. If I had to pick, I’d say the horror icon is the best part of this movie but in this case, that doesn’t mean a whole lot. The Devil Bat only lasts 68 minutes, which is one of its strong suits. It may be worth a watch… if you want some laughs. (On DVD, March 18, 2020)

Could you do a ranking your favorite scream movies and why?
Scream
I'm not really sure if this needs an in-depth breakdown. It's iconic. The originator. The ultimate make-fun-of-and-pay-homage-to-movie-tropes movie. The first phone call, Drew Barrymore dying in the first 5 minutes? The dialogue, the meta, the balance, it's just all so well-done.
Scream 2
Randy is correct, this one is inferior to the first but it is a great sequel and not an inferior movie. I love the Ghostface reveals, they're very fun and funny, they're so close to being my favourite (but Billy and Stu reign supreme) the conversation about desensitization and art imitating life was carried throughout and carried throughout well. Joshua Jackson and Sarah Michelle Gellar having their small roles in it is great 90s teen pop culture reference.
Scream 4
Scream 3
I'm going to talk about them together. I put Scream 4 before Scream 3 because I think Scream 4 is technically tighter and the reveal of Jill Roberts being Ghostface was more interesting than Roman's reveal, which was kind of a jump the shark moment. Scream 3 had some good elements, like Sidney getting attacked on the set of the movie-within-the-movie so her life has become blended with pop culture, and in a lot of ways the third movie is the most meta considering the actors in Stab are given the same complaints about Stab that the actors in Scream had about the movie, i.e. the constant rewrites. Roman having to do the Stab movie before he could do his romance is what happened with Wes Craven, he had to direct Scream before he could do the movie he wanted so while Stab is a movie about the characters' lives, Scream 3 is kind of a movie about what's going on with the cast. That's deep-dive inside baseball meta. But it's not very fun. It is certainly more fun than Scream 5 or 6 but it kind of drags, Sidney is hardly in it because Neve only worked 20 days, and the supporting characters aren't nearly as engaging, not like how Randy was, or even Tatum and Halli.
Scream 4 didn't feel as laborious, it's light on the meta compared to the first three, but it's back to that kind of light, tongue and cheek vibe. Emma Roberts niece to Julia Roberts playing Jill Roberts who is tired of being Sid's cousin is a very big wink. Rory Culkin being in it, great choice. Having Adam Brody and Kristen Bell and Anna Paquin and those girls from PLL and Degrassi TGN do cameos were all great pop culture references. It also delivered on the "modern horror film" rules in a more satisfying way to me than Scream 3 did on the trilogy rules, like the deaths being more gruesome or "shocking" for the time and for the franchise like Jill shooting Trevor in the balls, which wouldn't have happened before.
Scream 5 + 6 are equal to me
I find them equally joyless and charmless tbh, I have the same "meh" attitude towards both of them.

tagged by the incredible @loveisalwaystheanswer, along with a couple of others so huge thank you! But I am VERY boring.
three ships: My ships (and I use the term loosely because I am not a fan of the diehard shipping culture) are entirely inadvertent. They get under my skin until they are all I can think about, most usually when one of them is dead. Three at the minute are:
Tommy and Grace, Peaky Blinders - Quelle Surprise! Honestly, I'm like Joey in Friends with Titanic, I can't talk about these two without getting emotional. Their ending will forever make me angry.
Oliver and Connie, Lady Chatterley's Lover - the remake still has me in a chokehold.
My all-time iconic ship, Laurie and Amy from Little Women. I have loved them since watching the 1949 film when I was little and that love only grew with the recent remake. Timothee Chalamet and Florence Pugh, what is there not to love?
first ever ship: My first EVER ship was entirely inappropriate. My Mum did not understand that Buffy the Vampire Slayer was extremely inappropriate for a four year old and I used to watch it on a Thursday night on channel 4, with my big sister. I swear I should have been in bed! But I started on S5 and LOVED Buffy and Riley with all of my little heart. I sobbed like my pet rabbit had died when she did not reach the helicopter. That being said, being an adult, Angel and Buffy forever break my heart and Riley gives me the ick.
last song: Songs really help me write and at the moment I cannot stop listening to Medicine by Daughter. If I was a video editor I would make an edit of solely Grace Burgess to that song because bestie was failed by EVERYONE in her life. Also, not the question but not PIMP by 50 Cent is my all time favourite song for reasons I cannot articulate. It just sounds like Dopamine.
last movie: I started watching The Pale Blue Eye with Harry Melling and am saving the second half for when my partner goes back to work after his break because he didn't enjoy it as much as I do and it kills my vibe! Recently I have also watched some INCREDIBLE films Lady Chatterley's Lover, All Quiet on the Western Front and the Knives Out films.
currently reading: I have just finished my degree and I cannot look at another book for the time being but my most recent and enjoyable book was Sons and Lovers by D H Lawrence or The Gathering by Anne Enright.
currently watching: I am attempting to rewatch Wednesday. I didn't get the hype AT ALL and I really wanted to. I am also rewatching the Alienist. I will be restarting Peaky Blinders soon because I need to dissect Series 3 to carry on with the fic. The things I do for you guys.
currently consuming: I have just finished my breakfast at lunch time and I had. Avocado on toast with bacon and a poached egg.
currently craving: Fun fact, I have been a vegan for the past seven years but I also have a very complex health condition (utterly irrelevant but have the background anyway) that my diet was exacerbating. I have recently gone back to eating 'normally' and what a whirlwind. I cannot stop eating sausages and I eat them for at least one meal a day, I wish I was joking, I am having them for tea or chicken fuck me, how good is chicken?!
