"Thinking back, I don't think it struck me as such a bad movie at the time, it reminded me a bit of David Lynch's Dune: a mess but some compelling visuals (Helen Mirren looking straight out of Moreau's Salome) and strong acting."

"if you posted one of the better *Salome with the Head of John the Baptist* paintings on social media, there would be women in the comment section earnestly going "im tryna be like her fr." no, you are not like her. you are unemployed and your desk is covered in cheeto dust."
