so much of the horror genre is informed by the metaphor of queer/transness as monstrousness. especially emphasizing the amount of horror that depends on the audience's repulsion at seeing a human body changing into a new, other body. I Saw the TV Glow is about the horror of NOT transitioning. the horror of static. the horror of looking into yourself and being terrified of what you see. the horror of seeing who you are and choosing to do nothing about it. the horror of looking away. and by god is it terrifying.

i think about moonlight (2016) all the time. it truly has a piece of my heart i’m not exaggerating

i just thought about you, man, we got this jukebox in here and, um… folks come by and play their songs, that’s the music we get in here, and it’s… this dude, man… just reminded me of you. so, uh… hey man, if you ever come to town, man, you come holler at me. i’ll cook you something. maybe… maybe play that song for you
