major upgrade watching this on the big screen at the cinema instead of on my computer in the dining hall
Translated from by
how a fictional biopic inspired by david bowie and iggy pop / lou reed has evaded me all these years is beyond me. fantastic!!
Translated from by
this deserves alot more than a haphazard ramble after 2 glasses of wine and also an immediate rewatch. all I will say is seeing this amongst people made me feel for a little while like I exist. I love gay sex and music and toni colletes face card and Christian bale and ewan macGregors ass
its funny how beautiful people look when theyre walking out the door

The way this wraps Iggy Pop, Lou Reed, and Kurt Cobain into one person is so inspired. What a blast, and a great way to begin pride month.
