Welcome to my blog friends. I will post about music, movies, and food on here. Also, I will post about my life probably. I hope to post consistently but I am a pretty busy person. I am aiming to do weekly posts. Don't come here expecting any writing that is remotely decent. I am stupid as fudge and don't write too often. I may also post a lot more. Subscribe to the blog and you'll see my activity.
Recently, I watched a movie called Passing Strangers (1974). It was made by the same dude who directed that movie about AIDS called Buddies (1985). Passing Strangers stuck with me because while I am not gay, the movie is incredibly freaking gay. It captures an incredibly difficult time period for gay people, right as the AIDS epidemic was becoming really big and people were just starting to be more open with their sexuality. The premise is about someone like I just described: an 18 year old boy who is eager to experience gay stuff with dudes. Oh and obviously this takes place in San Francisco. The person in question responds to a newspaper ad of somebody looking for love, and they do just that. The music in the movie sounds like what I imagine the entire decade of the 1970s sounded like. There are some nice pop-y, but minimal tracks, notably near the end where they are riding bikes and crap. It's not often I see the use of both black & white and color film used, the only movie that comes to mind right now is His Motorbike, Her Island (1986), which is a fun movie where the protagonist loves his motorbike as much as the main character of Passing Strangers loves penis. Did I mention this movie is pornographic? It features a lot shots of guys penises getting jerked off, and also the same people having graphic, hardcore sex. They do it everywhere, but the place I think about them doing it the most was outside. They just start going at it and after the cumming they just start chilling. Everything is shot so tenderly and intimately that I couldn't look away. It is something very new to me and it was cool to be exposed to that type of media. Once again, I am not gay, but I am definitely an ally, especially after watching this movie. An essential watch for anyone interested in queer cinema. 7/10 Shoutout to my gay friends <3
Something that has also been on my mind is the lap cheong. It is a Chinese cured pork sausage that is super tasty. I eat it daily and it is probably the one food I would choose to eat the rest of my life. I like to slice it kind of thin, and then sauté them with minced garlic, then serve it over rice with some kimchi. The sausage is very salty, but it is balanced out nicely with the other stuff I think. Yum.
