Might fuck around & watch TLJ... as a treat.

Will it be a soothing balm or make me even sadder? TUNE IN TO FIND OUT I GUESS
JJerrio & the editors tryna make TROS make sense in post
Luke throwing the lightsaber away will never not make me think of old Rose throwing the necklace into the ocean in Titanic. Exact same and I OOP — energy
Ahch-To is literally just one big smorgasbord of feminine symbolism. Vagina entrances into womb caves, egg huts, big ole milky tiddies, baby Porgs, grumpy nuns. @rianjohnson’s MIND!
Rian rlly just dedicated this film to Adam’s beauty huh. He said GET INTO THESE CLOSE-UPS BITCHES, WE’RE GOING REDEEMING!
Rian said “Look Rey, a penis nose & giant tiddies — you better start balancing your inner masc & fem HUNTY!”
Thinking about the most beautiful sequence where Leia literally cheats death & soars through space using the Force in TLJ & how that was all I needed to know about Leia’s power as a Jedi, but then TROS was like NO WE NEED TO SEE HER TRAIN & THEN KILL HER SON AS A JEDI TRIAL
Ok but the way his face trembles & his eyes go all wide & puppy dog right before he says ‘Just you’ I ACTUALLY CANNOT IT’S TOO SOFT
TLJ really is that bitch. The QUALITY!

The writing is SO GOOD & the pacing/editing lets you actually breathe & spend time with these characters & places.

Each scene provides info & drives the plot forward but also deepens our sense of characters’ emotions & relationships.
“Ahh you do” are the sexiest three words ever uttered in cinematic history & I will die on this hill
The close up of the rain on Ben’s leather gloved fingers EYE —

This film is so kinky omfg *bites fist*
Rian rlly said fuck your Nostalgia Porn™️ & your Callback Kink™️ with his whole chest
Ben is literally a soft baby boy on the verge of tears this entire film & people still rlly think he’s just a cut & dry villain LMAO HOW
Luke Skywalker, Bitter Virgin™️, Master of Cock-Blocks & Clam-Jams
I will never not laugh at how Luke says ThE sACreD JeDi TeXTs!1!!

And then Yoda is like “sit tf down you whiny lil bitch, you didn’t even do the homework, Rey already got an A+ on the test” AHAHAHAHAHAAA no wonder the fandom menace hated this film 😂
“The greatest teacher failure is... we are what they grow beyond”

The serve when Rian is the only one who actually understood the Jedi & the whole point of what the ST should represent & all the so-called OG fans only proved his point by hating him for it
Rey fully just Amazon Priming herself to get that D is such a mood.

Big love-in-the-time-of-social-distancing vibes as well.
Another intensely kinky shot. Rey in handcuffs with Ben’s leather gloved hands in the background over his crotch, EYE —
Everybody say thank you to Rian Kink Johnson 🙏🏽💦
Rian rlly immediately followed up the finger flick with Rey’s saber grab. Name two more iconic consecutive moments, I’ll wait.
Rian rlly had Ben’s face light up with fiery red passion from his flaming hot saber-boner as he eye-fucks Rey, EYE —
So they rlly just fully ripped off this moment in TROS huh
I MEAN

Ben’s pure brute sex rage at the Pretorian guards getting in the way of him & his girlfriend in this scene, WHEW
Rian Johnson has a leather glove fetish, pass it on
Rian rlly had Rey try to grab Ben’s dick right out of his hand huh. If these aren’t sex faces then I don’t know what is.

Most actual sex scenes don’t have half this erotic power jfc
The Holdo Manoeuvre shots never cease to TAKE. MY BREATH. AWAY.

This film is so stunning. Fuck me.
Can we talk about the visual power of seeing Finn, a Black person who has spent the whole film learning to lean into his new identity as a rebel, literally & figuratively rise up to defeat his oppressor/enslaver & in doing so reveals the white skin & blue eye underneath, I MEAN —
The resistance hiding in a giant vagina cave about to be penetrated by a giant canon dick & Finn saying it’ll crack the door open “like an egg”. The way the imagery & dialogue is woven together to form a layered tapestry of thematic & symbolic meaning, UGH — @rianjohnson’s MIND!
Luke, as his younger self, literally being reborn from a fiery vagina to face his past, apologise for his failures, and seek redemption is such a spectacularly perfect ending to his character arc.
The Last Jedi is a perfect film.

I could write a dissertation on how perfect it is on every imaginable level.

I can’t begin to tell you how much I’ve learnt about filmmaking & storytelling from TLJ & how it’s inspired my own work.

Thank you @rianjohnson for my film school 🙏🏽
WHEW! That was emotional. I sobbed at the end ofc. But I'm so glad I watched it (my first time since TROS), it felt like coming home to the warmest hug.

I rlly don't know how I feel about the future of SW. But we'll always have TLJ & for that, at least, I am eternally grateful.
