Not to diminish any of your posts. I am 85, l have a crush on you. Brains plus beauty, what a combo!

After living in war-tmpoverished Finland for 3 years I disliked the fair and American culture seemed sterile on every levell. Bad food, plastic😊 design, awful music on tv. I was ready for the counter-culture and the coming Hippie movement.

What a wide-ranging lecture! I grew up in this period. My mother traveled to New York from Arizona to attend the 1938 World’sFair. I was in Finland when Kennedy was killed, and came home via the world’s Fair in 1964 accompanied by my mother.

You look very handsome in that suit!

Are the same Luna who did the movie reviews? I am intrigued because your points of view. Thank you!

The grindr notification got me EVERY GOD DAMNED TIME Idk how to feel about that

nunca imaginé que escucharía mencionada mi ciudad (medellín) en uno de estos videos! me encantó !! :)

Such a wonderful video <3 thanks for letting me contribute to it

Very interesting video. The Self flagelation or self-induced SM by LBGT+ or - (wo)men is making life unnecessary miserabele. Not intelligent way to live your life. Just become yourself, we are all mortal.

LBGT+ or - people shouldn't complain so much. Just make something of your life, being gay or not. Be authentic yourself, don't be a boring human being.

As an American, you should totally use the Dick Cheney line. Just prepare for all of the people who say "Yeah! He was a real American!"

This feels, and i understand this might sound weird at first lol, like the companion piece to Dr Fatima's video on aliens ("What astrophysicists think about aliens")

I hadn't realized until the "sponsor" section how small this channel is. The production value on these are _really_ good, and the discussions are really good, i was positive this channel was way larger. I literally had to triple check the subscribe count

Personally I've always loved sad gay movies. I love reading or watching tragedies, and I'm not into lighthearted stuff or fluffy/comedy. I find it better than now theres more variety of gay content but I hate it when people criticize on sad gay content, you can not like it, but leave it be for those who want to consumme it 🙄

Gay=sad

Big up the crystal palace

if the average american voter don't got me then i know the coming boom in queer misery media got me

A Latin American Serve ™️ (OMG your edition is so beautiful 🥹)

What does queer mean? Gay? Transgender heterosexual man or woman? Bisexual woman in a heterosexual relationship? Pansexual man married to a woman? Like wtf is up with these umbrella terms that don't even encapsulate the individual experiences of a certain group? Stop with the queer shit, it's annoying. Give people the dignity of their respective experiences instead of queer lazy ideology that conforms everyone into some monolithic experience which couldn't be further from the truth.

I think about this video so often. First of all, you laying down in bed with the occasional Grindr notification is genius. And of course the content is amazing. I tend to lean towards queer misery quite often, and everything was beautifully said. I once talked to my friend about how the show Heartstopper felt so sickly sweet and perfect, and they responded with “because the characters in your shows are always in peril”, which gave me a laugh. I should send that friend this video

very high quality video, very high quality costume. Lying in bed listening to the music and letting the fears of real life sink in was a well shot and thoughtful moment.

coming back to this video because it rocks so very much. watching this at work while slogging though writing up documents. thank you again for making it!

I don’t know if I would put queen in the category of a queen queer or person for that matter she was indeed strangely close or wonderfully close with her assistant I think it’s more of an experimental thing for her. She had already buried 17 children.

I enjoyed your appearance on the bechdel cast episode and had to come see this video for myself. Imagining the adventure genre as shifting to feature native people recovering their own heritage is so wonderful. We have so much to learn from surviving cultures and past ones buried by colonizing violence. The world may be well charted in this era but the vastness of human knowledge and history provides us with more to explore than can fit in a human lifespan.

I was not expecting the cat to be that SMALL

man, this is an amazing essay. i feel this so hard. never had any draw to pride or queer joy media. because i've never experienced gay pride as a lesbian. because my community growing up rejected homosexuality as a sin. het comp, all that. being gay in my mind has always been my struggle. and i'm at peace with that. and i love my partner and our little gay life. and misery is okay to experience.

Queer is when straight, very unserious list of films.

Excelente el video! La gatita es divina. Esto me hace pensar en cual sería la evaluación del uso del concepto en Final Fantasy XIV Dawntrail. Es una expansión de un MMO así que sería difícil de alcanzar sin una inversión de tiempo significativa, pero me gustaría compartir el concepto como una Colombiana que lo disfrutó: En este mundo fictiocio, América nunca fue colonizada y sus poblaciones basadas en culturas nativas (mayormente veo inspiración Maya, Azteca, Quechua, Navajo, Anasazi que puedo identificar) continuaron por su cuenta, con conflictos hasta que el Dawnservant unificó a todos en una nación Tuliyollal. Este monarca ya esta en sus años viejos, y decide hacer un concurso para escoger a su sucesor. Solo conocemos a su hija adoptiva la "Tercera Promesa" quien nos cuenta que hay rumores que el concurso involucrará encontrar "La Ciudad de Oro," la cual es una leyenda local. Nunca usan el término El Dorado pero es claro que viene de eso, y hacerlo un rumor que no nace de extranjeros ya es una inversión total del concepto. Ver este video me ayuda a pensar en como pudieron haber llegado a la idea de la verdad de ese rumor

Beautiful 😢

just laughed out loud at the reference to the rachel bloom classic, fuck me ray bradbury

02:13 1. That is not a valid argument. We have to take into account that an Oscar bid is a very expensive and calculated operation and since most truly great LGBTQ films are indie and arthouse, the money for the Academy screening alone is $12500 if the film is not released early enough and average PR and campaign budget to position a multi Oscar picture is $3-5m. 2. There is great queer cinema that got snubbed, but although I love LGBTQ film as a gay man, I can’t say I agree on feeling underrepresented. Only because members of the academy are lgbtq or a film has queer aspects will not determine whether it holds up against the incredible competition. And I hardly think this is how to measure representation, recognition or the quality of the body of work of queer people in film and their stories.

"Rachel Bloom darling Ray Bradbury" lol

16:05 From what I know the reaction of the public to broadcast of HG Well's war of the world was extremely exaggerated by the newspapers

I don't usually comment on videos but this video hit me particularly hard and I tried calling my mother to tell her about the fact that I'm a lesbian. I ended up texting her after the call to let her know. I wish that I could say that she had a good reaction, she didn't, it didn't come from a place of homophobia but from a place of our relationship being broken way before I even decided to do this. In a way maybe it's a good thing that when I look back on this I'll have this video, which is genuinely a really good video, to look back on.

The artistry in this video simply bleeds through the screen. Fantastic work, and I'm so excited to watch where you go next!

You had me with EPCOT and (the death of) FUTURISM … but add in (3m30s) Queer Filmmaker and i think I’m gonna have to stick around beyond the preview and into the feature presentation!! Xo

I’m here from the Leftist Cooks and I’m staying!

Masterpiece ❤

thank u I loved it

Thank you! I recently mustered up the courage to make a video about homophobia, so anyone feel free to watch and share it if you’d like. In 2024, we still have to keep fighting for basic human rights!

Love that we have a Hate Robert Moses Cinematic Universe across multiple video essay channels. So nice! I'm sure he's looking up at us hating every second of it.

Contrapoints, PhilosophyTube, and now JML are my top video essay channels. You don't get them often, but when you do it's an EVENT.

Not saying it was award winning story telling by any means, but the thing that love Victor got right especially over love Simon was that it gave a real depiction of coming out and your family not being cool with it. Sure it wasn't over the top, but the best part of the show was seeing the family realize the expectations they had for their presumably "straight" son were never going to happen, and figure out how to accept that and move on. The petty highschool drama was honestly the thing dragging the show down the most.

I just found your channel through another video and subscribed, first time ever for a channel of video essays 😅 I'm watching this now and I'm wondering if you'll mention Expo 58 by Jonathan Coe!

Hello Valley resident and Metro user here reporting from the future. Sad to report the dream of an on time 183 is dead. It was killed as a route just three months after this video released. Trying to ride Metro from the Southeast Valley into Burbank/Glendale is even worse than before 🙃

URUGUAY MENTIONED RAAAAAA que grande el Pepe Mujica, y que grande vos, José. Sos un genio.

My husband just shouted from the next room over "I freaking loved that hydroponic farm!!! I got to eat a hydroponic potato!!" 😅
