I SAW THE TV GLOW (2024) dir. Jane Schoenbrun

not normal about orpheus and eurydice and i never have been. like imagine loving someone so much that you can’t bear to live without them. imagine loving someone so much that you walk through hell to save them. and then you find a way, a real way to save them, and you love them so much you ruin it. whether it be turning just too soon in your excitement, or out of worry and care or they trip and it’s just instinct to catch them. no matter the reason you ruin it by looking back and it always comes from love.

something about how we watch in excruciating detail how repression suffocates owen over years and years and the only escape is fiction and then nostalgia. and maddy comes back to save him but he can’t let himself be saved because the midnight realm is so unforgiving and mr melancholy has buried him deep deep underground and we have to watch and contend with the fact that we live in that unforgiving, suffocating world. and this message is so raw and painful and sad and horrifying but then the creators of the movie speak to us directly to tell us that there is still time. and by reaching out through the horror they do something so powerfully gentle and kind because they knew what this movie would do and the impact it would have and they knew how essential it is to say that there is still time. i saw the tv glow is truly such a labor of love and it makes me cry

BRIGETTE LUNDY-PAINE as MADDY I SAW THE TV GLOW (2024) dir. Jane Schoenbrun

Yall se the vision right?

lee begging, BEGGING maren to eat him because he wouldn’t want to die any other way and maren refusing at first because how could she? how could she devour her lover? maren, eventually caving, because lee BEGS her and he wants her to and she needs to because even more, how could she deny the wishes of a lover dying? a lover, who in his death keeps her alive.

when i first saw the scene with maddie drawing the sigil on owen’s neck, i was like “why does this seem like it was shot in a romantic way? maddie made it very clear she liked girls.” and then i realized. she does like girls.

just watched i saw the tv glow and one thing i haven't seen anyone bring up yet is that in the final seconds of the movie, right when it cuts to the credits screen, you hear the sound of rain. which is what maddy says it was like when they woke up in the pink opaque as tara. implying that owen/isabel, too, is on the precipice of making it out. is this perhaps a more optimistic interpretation of the ending than intended? probably, but i feel like it's worth mentioning

Not to be one of those gays that thinks every character is gay, but i am one of those gays. And i’m right. These two should kiss.

guess who just got out of the theater
