GillisFolks, do we have a bite-sized piece of gabby gold for you! Today, we bring you a chat with Emily Lynch (aka AdequateEmily on YouTube and Twitter). We set out to discuss the world of video essayism in the year of the plague, but wound up chattering about the directorial efforts of the Monkees for approximately four hours. The following is a reflection on how her passion for cinema began. We hope you enjoy- we certainly did.
2/1/2022 0 Comments In Immortality On Screen: A Review of “My Body is A Paradise” and The Night I Watched ItAtticus Spicer (they/he)As soon as we got out of the car, I started running. My roommate and I had just gotten home from the secondhand store, where we bought a bookshelf for a clean twenty-eight dollars and ferried it back with the power of queer determination and six bungee cords from Home Depot. We listened to Lady Gaga on the drive and took pictures of our sketchy set up at red lights. We caused a mild public disturbance with the volume of our music and accompanying scream-singing. As we pulled onto our street, the clock in the dash told me I was running late; I had somewhere to be in five minutes and a half mile of pure Ann Arbor residential area between me and it. I panicked. The car door was still bungee-corded shut, the ties securing the bookshelf to the roof threaded through all four completely rolled down windows in the middle of December, so I climbed out through the window. I undid the cords to help my roommate out and then began sprinting to make it on time. My asthmatic lungs felt scraped raw by the frigid air and my shoes were definitely not the right kind for running, but, damn it, I had a documentary to see.
Grey Weinstein (he/they)“What you know you can’t explain, but you feel it,” Morpheus says to Neo in the original Matrix movie. “You’ve felt it your entire life— that there’s something wrong with the world. You don’t know what it is, but it’s there, like a splinter in your mind, driving you mad.”
Daniel Torres (he/him)Running for nearly 13 years and having just recently premiered its fourteenth season, “RuPaul’s Drag Race” has cemented itself as one of the most influential queer reality television shows to date. It has brought the art of drag and, by extension, queer culture into mainstream, where it has found success with a diverse audience. From weekly viewing parties at gay bars, to younger children who gain their first exposure to drag through the show, to heterosexual audiences, “Drag Race” has fans of all ages and sexual orientations. Though it reaches individuals of various genders and orientations, the competition has branded itself as a show with exclusively queer contestants— until now, that is, with the newest season casting “Drag Race’s” first ever cisgender, heterosexual man, Maddy Morphosis.
