let dad pick the movie tonight

halfway through my mom goes “wait should we have started with the first one?” and i was like “what are you talking about” and she says “juror #1?” and my sister goes “mom it’s called juror #2 because HE’S juror #2” and my mom says “i know but who’s juror #1” and i was like “i don’t think it matters” and she was like “well it might”
“i try to tighten my heart into a knot, a snarl, i try to learn to live dead, just numb, but then i see someone i want, and it's like a nail, like a hot spike right through my chest, and i know i’m losing.”
i first learned what AIDS was in my eighth grade health class, during a unit on STDs. we learned its history, its symptoms, its causes, its prognosis, and who it affected - “homosexuals and addicts.”…
really sad to realize that we’re still fighting a lot of the same fights we were fighting 46 years ago. the more things change, the more they really do stay the same i guess - the work never stops.
anyway i love harvey milk and i love being queer!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Still my least favorite of the Best Picture nominees - one of those movies where I can too clearly see and feel the creator pulling the strings to push the plot forward and convey his “themes” (themes that will feel all too familiar to those who already know how bad men are at emoting and communicating) to ever be fully invested and immersed in the story - but when my least favorite of a line-up is still a 4/5, you know it’s a damn good line-up.
Barry Keoghan and Kerry Condon (MVP) are doing incredible work here.
