i know it was not the point of i saw the tv glow but like i am very interested in the pink opaque and i really want them to make a limited edition tie in episode guide like they made a limited edition physical copy of the babadook book
House of Hades cover redraw, but with Walker and Leah’s Percy and Annabeth…!
t-shirt that says i watched i saw the tv glow and all i got was this ache in my chest from an emotion i cant put the name to
actually i love the reveal that the only reason effie got involved with the hunger games at all was because her little sister needed her.
the way haymitch must have seen it as all his ghosts coming back to haunt him at once when katniss walked onto the train with the face of burdock and asterid, the pin of maysilee, the voice of lenore dove, and a background so devastatingly similar to his own. of course sweetheart slipped out. and of course he did everything he could to keep her alive
When you think back on watching The Pink Opaque, how do you remember it?
I SAW THE TV GLOW (2024) dir. Jane Schoenbrun

that one homoerotic girl friendship that ended horribly is always like, i hate her more than anyone, i will never stop loving her. she made me who i am, i hate the parts of me she helped create. i miss her more than anything, i can't even look her in the eye. i dream about her most nights, i'll cut off my arm before i even consider reaching out to her again. i want us back, i never want to feel that way again.
Effie is actually not fanservice because she is important to the theme of propaganda in SOTR
Effie is 100% brainwashed AND YET she still hasn't lost her humanity. She believes propaganda completely AND YET she doesn't use it as an excuse to abuse people. Throughout the book, the tributes are constantly dehumanised. But Effie doesn't treat Haymitch that way. She helps the team. She's there for him in the launch room- which Drusilla and so many Capitol citizens would never do.
So there really is no excuse for abusing people, not even "I was lied to" or "i thought i was in the right" or "I was fed propaganda"
You still choose how you interact with people around you and how you treat them.
