Paging Dr. Lesbian - dispatch from a lesbian film stan
Welcome to this week’s dispatch from the lesbian internet, a mid-week news roundup from Paging Dr. Lesbian. If you like this type of thing, subscribe, and share it with your friends. Before we begin, I wanted to officially announce that I will be starting a paid subscription option for this newsletter. How it will work is that my Sunday Editions will continue to be free to view for everyone, and my dispatches from the lesbian internet (what you’re reading now) will only be accessible with a paid subscription. I need more funding in order to keep doing the work I do, but I also want to keep as much of my writing as I can accessible to the public, which is why I’ve chosen this model. I will officially start paid subscriptions next Sunday, and I hope some of you will go on this journey with me. Subscriptions will start at $5 a month. Let me know if you have any questions or concerns. The season finale of Yellowjackets premiered on Saturday night, and it was a trip. (Apropos of nothing, I’ve taken two “Which Yellowjackets character are you” quizzes and got Natalie both times.) Yellowjackets and Scream star Jasmin Savoy Brown (a noted lesbian) has had a great pretty great week as the new Scream clinched the #1 box office spot over the weekend. The movie itself is just fine, but Jasmin is great in it and plays a lesbian film nerd (a la Randy Meeks). Savoy Brown and Yellowjackets co-star Liv Hewson also host a podcast called The Gay Agenda, which you can listen to here if you’re interested. It was Holland Taylor’s birthday on Friday, and, as we’ve come to expect, Sarah Paulson penned a heartfelt birthday letter to her septuagenarian girlfriend and posted it on Instagram. Read Paulson’s birthday message – and Taylor’s similarly heartfelt response – below. Though this news was announced a while ago, I want to reiterate my excitement about the new Anne+ film, which is an extension of the Dutch television show of the same name. The series (and the film) follows our titular character, Anne, who is a 20-something just trying to figure her life out. Anne is queer (obviously) and much of the story centers on the ups and downs of her love life. Netflix recently released a trailer for the film – which comes out February 11 – that you can watch below. You can watch the series with a subscription on Amazon Prime. During a panel recently, Lady GaGa revealed that there was a whole plot line that was cut from House of Gucci wherein GaGa and Salma Hayek’s characters “developed a sexual relationship.” GaGa describes the conversation between herself and Hayek going something like this: “So, after Maurizio dies, maybe it gets hot.” This is hilarious, and now I do hope there is a director’s cut that includes these scenes. Lady Gaga says that her and Salma Hayek’s ‘House of Gucci’ characters developed a sеxual relationship in scenes that didn't make the final cut. Other things:
That’s all for this week, folks! Remember to consider subscribing at the end of next week. I will leave you with this photo of leather-clad lesbian vampires Tara and Pam from True Blood. If you liked this post from Paging Dr. Lesbian, why not share it? |
