Palm Springs makes periods of depression seem fun so it's like

there are no exceptions to no take backs so I must accept that I forgot We Are, which I saw this year but files 2020

 :yabbse-grin: I can't put it in competition with Spree, personally, but if it weren't no-takebacks they'd share the spot.

It's too bad this isn't a ranking of Movies First-Watched in 2020, cuz gahdamn, I watched so much Abel Ferrara and Fulci last year. Actually, about to watch only my second Solondz rn, speaking of depressive-states-done-fun.

what's your Solondz order? some people start with the best but I think starting with the worst is better

like the list of Movies First-Watched in 2020 needs to happen now, you understand

But it would be quite daunting o_o
Seems like What Films Are We Watching + Quarantine Filmz somehow gets at that. But woo-ee. What a year for introverts.

I started with Storytelling. Was considering Happiness or Welcome to the Dollhouse for today.

.I'd go Palindromes next not because it's a worst but to follow an ideological pathway. definitely Welcome to the Dollhouse before Weiner Dog but honestly I'd go Life During Wartime to Happiness. Fear, Anxiety & Depression is 100% the worst thing he's done. I think Dark Horse is a good closer because it's ~so adorably Solondz~ just a conversation

oh the list isn't happening man I was all hype
