i ALSO just referenced RS Benedict’s excellent essay in a little movie write up about Love Lies Bleeding, which i am still clinging to sooooo tightly as the best recent movie sex scene and general eroticism since…Bound, maybe???

twisters DEFINITELY was missing out by pretending that chemistry wasn’t there, or wasn’t important, or wasn’t worth diving a little deeper into.

Coming from asexuality studies, I find the juxtaposition of 'queer' and 'sexless' deeply problematic. Yes, queer erotic feelings/attractions should be no means be banned from screens, but calling sexlessness and a lacking kiss scene (that undermines genre expectations in a queer, ace, way) inherently and always harmful and anti-queer is intellectually lazy and does equal damage
