Santo the Silver Mask vs. The Martian Invasion (Santo el Enmascardo de Plata vs la Invasión de los Marcianos) was filmed in 1966 by Alfredo B. Crevenna.

[celluloidrainbow]

MUCHACHAS DE UNIFORME (1951) dir. Alfredo B. Crevenna Manuela is taken to a boarding school after the death of her mother. There, she has trouble adjusting to the rigid discipline of the headmistress, who fervently believes that hunger and austerity are the only ways to keep the girls in line. Manuela, however, finds comfort and understanding in Lucila, the youngest teacher at the school whom all the girls admire. An exceptional Mexican remake of the 1931 German original, Mädchen in Uniform. (link in title)

FUCK its the end of January - Diary of a Big Ole Gay 1/31/2023

Hey whores, its me your bitch back on his bullshit.

So I have a interview tomorrow and I'm waiting to hear back from like three, four different places. so its a lot of waiting.

(yeah I kinda hate having to sit on my ass and waiting)

Also I probably didn't watch that much queer stuff this week so sorry? I mean I had to slow down a little whores. most of this stuff is stuck behind a paywall. (pssst I have a ko-fi if you wanna help a whore out).

The Legend of Lylah Clare (1968) dir. Robert Aldrich

So this is one of those movies that had a queer element and then were also just very poorly recieved for completly unrelated reasons, (think Sylvia Scarlett or Glen or Glenda). This film is about 80% less gay then that. On one hand you have this very meta type of patisches to it its a lot of elements from things like Rebecca and Sunset Boulivard.

You basically have this young actress who has this preternaturally ability to imitate Lylah Clare a golden age star who died in a spectacular fasion and she bascially falls into the wild child/Bisexual Vamp role. If you remember me discussing Lola from Pandoras Box then you have a sense of what I'm talking about.

TBH it is very campy and fun but the reason why this is on the list is that one of the characters is a lesbian and she was fucking Lola Rebecca, *checks notes*, sorry Lylah Clare.

Muchachas de Uniforme (1951) dir. Alfredo B. Crevenna

so this is a mexican remake of the classic and while there are some aspects I really like about it (the expressionist type architecture, the costume design), it tones down a lot of the queerness of the original.

I will say that this

1. is a lot darker and if you know how the original ends then know that they go for the bummer ending. (bury your gays)

2. I watched this on youtube and there were no English Subs so I had to use the auto-translate function which meant I only got the barest bones concept of the dialogue. its buggy, spanish is a fast spoken language and also if I understood spanish the dialogue would probably be really pretty. So understand there is a language barrier for me here.

Lo siento, me esponal no es bueno, estudiar para tres anos perro soy es estudiente malo. Sue me.

Madchen in Uniform (1958) dir. Géza von Radványi

This one is a lot more faithful to the original but they also butcher the bedroom kiss scene. However they do make that up with this kiss later on when they extend the play plot point.

I will say that I do like aspects of this film, i like there take on it but the original madchen in uniform is far superior to both of the remakes.

and thats not to say that the remakes are bad films they have a great aestetic, they add little details the original does but its something about the original that just sings in a way these ones dont

Everything Else I watched this week and a half

as you can tell I watched Infinity Pool, It was great. Horror Autuers are like lets shit on rich people and I'm all for it. Its giving sci-fi taking to its psycological horror extremes and what happens when you give in negative nihilism.

Also watched 2017 B&B, its a gay thriller and its pretty good if a bit triggering.

I finished the rest of the Hammer House of Horror and umm what else...

So I watched Bi-coastal, one of the Catalina Bisexual Features they did in the 70s directed by Tom DeSimone, (or as he went by then Lance Brookes). The men in it are definetly hollywood twink and not the sexy Gage Men, but despite that Bi-Coastal was V V hot. and honestly very bi positive for the time.
