I Saw The TV Glow...

Posted September 23, 2024 by Terfling in Movies

So when I first heard about this movie months ago, I thought the premise was interesting.

I went into it because I'm probably one of a few people who like Justice Smith as an actor, and knew nothing else about it apart from the premise... besides seeing beforehand that the actress is a Not Woman woman. 🙄

I guess I should've delved deeper because the director is a gross TIM, and the entire movie is apparently supposed to be some reference to trans, 'egg' cracking, and deadnaming... Well, who knew. Not me, until after seeing the reviews praising it for the trans propaganda. Smh

You live and learn, I suppose. That aside, it was interesting... It had potential, even if it was kind of weird. Would not rewatch though, knowing what I do now.

Had anyone else watched it? Went in 'blind'? Thoughts?

OP, I appreciate this thoughtful, heartfelt post. I'm going to try to be less careless/casual in making the comparison.
