Hedwig and the Angry InchOther John Cameron Mitchell
Before I was even allowed to watch Hedwig and the Angry Inch, I would listen to the soundtrack in the car every day with my mom. I loved singing the final number, “Midnight Radio.”

Bound has always just sung to me. It’s a really interesting noir and lesbian romance with a great plot twist.

RebeccaOther Alfred Hitchcock
Rebecca is an interesting one, because what’s so scary about it is that the title character is a terrifying femme haunting a man’s life.

Every entry is a verbatim quote and a link to the public post it came from. Nothing is paraphrased. If it is not on record somewhere public, it is not here.
The verdict is what they actually said: loved and liked are explicit; recommended means they told others to get it; uses means they only say they use it; read is a book on their public shelf with no verdict; mixed and disliked are kept too.
A dashed affiliate link, sponsored or their own label means the post disclosed a relationship. It is shown, never hidden.
The shading behind a date shows how dated a recommendation is for its kind of thing.
The shading behind a date shows how dated a recommendation is, for its kind of thing. Fully green is recent. It drains a quarter at a time as the post gets older, and is empty once it reads as dated.
What counts as old depends on the thing. A laptop praised four years ago has been replaced twice; a book loved twenty years ago is probably still loved. The shading is gone after about:
Stripes mean the post carries no date and the date shown is an estimate. No date at all, no shading.
