Bored with looking at YCH reminders, I had the terrible idea to start a meme. List any two movies (or TV series) you've watched since you've been locked down at home. The catch is, you have to explain WHY you found those films interesting (and a movie doesn't have to be good to be interesting). I'll kick things off with:

TABOO II (1982, Kirdy Stevens)
Second installment of the 1980s incest franchise, starring Dorothy LeMay as the high school sweetheart lusted after by her thirtysomething teenage brother (Kevin James). Balanced on the knife edge of boredom and hilarity, like all feature-length porn films, the movie shows us that incest makes us better, more empathetic people, even if sexually frustrated Mom (Honey Wilder), catching Sherry and Junior in the act, immediately reaches for the vodka. (For the flavor of this movie, just try uttering the line, "I fucked my son" with a straight face.) And yes, that's a younger, slightly less revolting Ron Jeremy in the orgy scene.

5 CENTIMETERS PER SECOND (2007, Makoto Shinkai)
The last thing capital-A Art needs is a sense of humor, right? Conceived as a poetic, ambiguous memory film (meaning: slow and disjointed) on the fleeting beauty of love, happiness, and the natural world, but executed as two short stories with a throwaway coda, Shinkai's film slowly deflates after the suspenseful first movement (the winter train journey). Over the years, three girls fall for blank slate Takaki, who, even as an adult, can't stop mooning over the first of them, the girl he fell in love with at the age of 13. Since Takaki is more of a symbol than a character, the star of Shinkai's film is its series of lovingly rendered, insanely detailed backgrounds and lighting effects, so gorgeous to look at that they easily supplant the characters, who, by the film's glad-to-be-unhappy ending, barely seem to have existed at all.
