rewatching euphoria and it remains terrible but also really good at the same time (very accurate depiction of how young addicts who’ve had few consequences think about their addiction but the problem is there isn’t much saying “hey this is a really romanticised version of what addiction is like, BECAUSE addicts romanticise that shit sometimes”).
sam levinson also really bamboozles me because hes made his career writing about women’s experiences when he’s never gone through that shit. it’s one thing to do it once, but between assassination nation, euphoria n the idol all his big projects have been commenting on sexual violence and other unhealthy sexual experiences by showing them graphically. sometimes in euphoria he rlly hits the nail on the head and sometimes he misses wildly (unlike assassination nation and the idol where he only misses).
i watched a bit of severance n gave up because i felt like id zone out for five minutes and be totally lost. loved s3 of white lotus, was rlly in line w a lot of shit i’d been thinking about with religion n spirituality. the white girl who decides she can’t hack “real” buddhism was a really fascinating character, rlly made me look at myself.
