The Orange Eats Creeps

h8ed it. especially bc according to everything about it I should have loved it. NOPE. terrible.
like 3 moments i enjoyed. hot mess and not in any of the good ways. im so mad about the time i wasted finishing it that im not gonna waste anymore justifying my reaction to it. suffice to say its not any of the things its jacket blurbs claim it to be. it is not pervy, unhinged, visionary, or exhilarating. its mundane other than how exceptionally amateur it is. again not in any of the good ways.
the only thing i can attribute the various rave reviews to is that maybe it makes boring old people feel 'young and edgy' the same way listening to atmosphere or whatever made suburban kids feel 'urban'
an episode of fashion police with joan rivers is more transgressive.
