[movie-titlecards]

The Amazing Mr. X (1948)

My rating: 6/10

Fully expected this to turn into "Evil Foreign Type uses his Heathen Ways to trick the poor innocent widow", but it never really went there, instead being a really rather solid thriller with some really fun plot twists. What a pleasant surprise.

Cathy Blye

Cathy Blye is just Betty Cooper with a different hair color. Or the same.

headcanon prompt! what type of music would they like idk

ANON ILYSM

Lina is a big classical fan, she started listening to it for studying but found she adore it so she hasnt stopped. she also loves the beatles and a lot of other 70-80s music. she has almskt every beatles cd and a player as well as pretty shelves to put all her music on. she prefers physical music all the way.

Anne does not have a music taste as in she will listen to and enjoy anything and everything. she hears a song on the radio (which is always on when shes driving btw) and will listen to it on loop for three days minimum. She has all of two playlists, one of every sad song shes ever liked and one of every happy song. If she had to pick one genre she'd probably say rap or rock becuase she likes the way it sounds. prodution is much more important to her than lyrics and she is almost never without a song on, her airpods are in 24/7

Jane also really likes older music but she leans more towards the 50s to 80s. Her room is right next to Linas so she often hears the beatles through the wall which is what intitonly got her into their music. she also likes country music and unlike anne she has very neat and organised playlists, even making folders for them. She almost never uses earbuds in private and is currently on the quest to find the perfecy headphones.

Anna loves rock and metal music. Shes the lead singer and guitarist in a rock band called Queens Castle which she made with some friends senior year of highschool and they started playing at clubs and got fairly successful. She constantly gets notifications warning her that her audio is too loud, and you can usually hear her music if you get within three feet of her. she rarely ever accepts requests to turn it down.

Kitty is a pop girlie through and through. she loves taylor swift especially speak now and lover, sabrina carpenter, maisie peters, charli xcx, dua lipa, chappell roan, etc. She also adores musicals and will spend all her money any time one comes near them. She always has mini concerts in the shower and out of it, her hairbrush gets quite a lot of use as a mic. she loves coming up with cheoro for her favourite songs and takes vocal lessons every thursday and dance lessons friday and monday. shes planning to major in music and minor in theatre when she goes to college.

Cathy is incapable of focusing without music on. she likes more acoustic music as well as some taylor, specifically folklore and evermore. she also loves the crane wives and almost every one of theirs she has associated with a story shes writing. Shes always the first to join kitty for duets and she took vocal lessons up until seventh grade when the pressure got too much and she quit. she has a couple organised playlists but a lot of the time she dumps songs whereever it kinda fits. she doesnt listen to new music much, and anne constantly teases her for only knowing like three artists.

[era404-skib]

HOLY SHIT TODAY WAS INSANE

DOORS FLOOR 2, TEASER OF THE NEXT ULTRAKILL UPDATE AND AN ABSOLUTELY FIRE SKIB EPISODE???? GRAHHHH IM STILL PROCESSING ALL OF THIS

Thoughts about all three (i know this is a skib only blog but its MY blog and i get to do what i want with it,,,,) below the cut

Seems like a simple lazer cannon is enough to kill the average astro troops with medium difficulty. They're extremely powerful, but as easy as it is to feel like they're indomitable walls that can't be crushed, enough firepower seems to shred them up haha

SWAT and the boomerang sickles!! Absolutely badass

Not sure why the sentimental, calm and comforting yet eerie music was playing as that one large cam came in. It might be the repaired lazer large cam, and if so, that IS great, but I'm not sure if it warrants that soundtrack choice.

This whole shot just SCREAMS "We are SO back" I genuinely got so hyped when I seen it

CAMERAWOMAN UPGRADES❗️❗️ She is SO badass now. She floats like a mindflayer too bwehehe. I love how the protection she has on the top of her cam makes it look like she's frowning - same with TCam and his dented lens. It really gives the cams this "dont fuck with me or I'll turn you into mincemeat" look/vibe and I love it

that pushing down the glasses plus the "DAMNN!" from rambo was absolutely brilliant I'm giggling so hard at that bit,,,,

Camerawoman is confirmed to have been Cathy! I remember (the very amazing mutual of mine) @/lensman-arms-race saying something before about preferring the robots as having always been robots and honestly yeah I'm gonna have to agree here. I like it when machines are always beep boop beep boop, not organic flesh -> beep boop beep boop, but don't get me wrong I'm still fine with it lmao. in canon they may have been humans, but in my head they've always been little machines /silly

okay brief non-skib stuff rant now

Floor 2 is AMAZING HELLO??? I can see why LSplash took like. How long has it been. A year? Two? However long into cooking this. Haven't made it past door 134 yet as I haven't played the game in AGES and I have a major skill issue but anyways. I want to pick giggle up and hold it like borgar and treasure it its literally everything to me. I didn't know its name before getting the badge so I called it Bobby as it just felt right and the name has stuck ever since

Okay even briefer ultrakill thoughts now

THEY FIXED THE SKYBOX!!! IT ACTUALLY LOOKS GOOD NOW IM SO HAPPY

THE CRANES!!! I went crazy over these I really don't know why but I did

That ending bit was silly teehee

THIS DAY IN GAY HISTORY

based on: The White Crane Institute's 'Gay Wisdom', Gay Birthdays, Gay For Today, Famous GLBT, glbt-Gay Encylopedia, Today in Gay History, Wikipedia, and more …

August 27

1943 – Luis Caballero Holguin, born in Bogota on this date (d.1995) was a painter, watercolorist, pastellist and lithographer. Caballero is known for depicting masculine fugures, and his works often include both erotic and violent imagery.

Caballero was raised in a conservative Catholic household. He studied at the Universidad de Los Andes (Colombia) in 1961-62, where he met and was influenced by etcher artist Juan Antonio Roda and art critic Marta Traba. He continued his academic studies in Paris at the Academie de la Grande Chaumiere, graduating in 1964. It is during this time that he discovered Willem Dekooning and Francis Bacon. Back in Colombia, in 1968, he won First Prize at the First Ibero-American Biennal of Medellin.

Caballero returned to Paris where he found more freedom in 1969 and lived there until 1995, when he returned to Bogota for a special exhibition of his work at the Luis Angel Arango Library.

His figurative works are usually large scale mixed media oil, ink, watercolor washes on either canvas or paper, sometimes incorporating fabrics or rope in a limited range of muted sepia colors, often representing male nude figures, in a contemporary style marked by classic training.

His work was briefly censored by those who considered it “obscene, pornographic and immoral”, even though Caballero himself said: “Maybe the creative impulse is the same as the erotic impulse,” and: “I paint the bodies I would like to possess.” 

He died in June of 1995 at the age of fifty two.

1947 – The Washington Post editorializes in favor of an expanded sodomy law for the District of Columbia, complaining that the city had become 'more or less a haven for sexual perverts and degenerates.'

1952 – Today's the birthday of Paul Reubens, (d.2023), best known for his character Pee-wee Herman, he starred in the television series Pee-wee's Playhouse from 1986 until 1990. He also starred in an HBO special called The Pee-wee Herman Show, the 1985 movie Pee-wee's Big Adventure and the 1988 movie Big Top Pee-wee.

In July 1991, after deciding to take a few years' sabbatical from Pee-wee, Reubens was arrested for indecent exposure in an adult theater in Sarasota, Florida. The arrest set off a chain reaction of national media attention that changed the general public's view of Reubens and Pee-wee. The arrest postponed Reubens's engagement in big projects until 1999, when he appeared in the big-budget Mystery Men and Blow and started giving interviews as himself rather than as Pee-wee. He has since gone on to take roles in darker themed movies like Blow. Reubens appeared as the Pee-wee Herman character for the first time since 1992 at Spike TV's 2007 Guys Choice Awards in June 2007.

1961 – Tom Ford is an American fashion designer. He is well known within the fashion industry for his legendary turnaround of Gucci, one of the most influential fashion houses in the world.

Ford was born in Austin, Texas. After graduating from the Parsons School of Design in 1986, initially having studied architecture, he took design jobs with Cathy Hardwick and Perry Ellis. In 1990, he was recruited by Gucci to design women's ready-to-wear, and Ford later moved on to become the chief director for Gucci. Ford called french editor Carine Roitfeld and photgrapher Mario Testino and asked them to help him revamp the old fashioned house. His own film star looks probably helped re-invest Gucci with its lost glamour. By 1999, Ford had helped propel Gucci into a fashion powerhouse. When Gucci acquired the house of Yves Saint Laurent, Ford was named the creative director of that label as well.

Tom Ford is openly gay, and he and his partner, journalist Richard Buckley, have been together since 1986. Buckley was the former Editor in Chief of Vogue Hommes International. Buckley was diagnosed with cancer in 1989 and after his recovery the two moved from New York to Italy.

In 2004, Ford stepped down or was asked to step down from both of his positions, amid rumours he wished to direct films. Following his departure from Gucci (and YSL), Ford opened the fashion house, Tom Ford. Ford began with accessories; his line of eyewear was the first to become successful. The Tom Ford line now covers menswear, beauty, eyewear, and both men and women's accessories. In 2006, he also established a fragrance line called Tom Ford Beauty.

He gained a lot of publicity when in 2007 he stripped down for a new boxing-themed photo shoot in the November issue of Out magazine and jumped in the shower with two burly boy models. (The above is a "before" shot.) Ford said he made sure to compliment his fellow models' natural endowments in the shower but assured the mag that it didn't make the pair uncomfortable. "They sense from me that I'm not going to give one of them a blow job," he said. "I just don't do that."

In March 2005, Ford announced the opening of his film production company, FADE TO BLACK. In 2009, Ford made his film directorial debut with A Single Man, which was based on the novel of the same name by Christopher Isherwood. The film stars Colin Firth, Julianne Moore, Nicholas Hoult and Matthew Goode. The screenplay was adapted by Ford and David Scearce. Ford also produced the film, which premiered on September 11, 2009 at the 66th Venice International Film Festival and was nominated for a Golden Lion. Colin Firth, who plays the protagonist George, was awarded the Volpi Cup as Best Actor for his performance and was also nominated for an Academy Award, Golden Globe, Independent Spirit Award and Screen Actor's Guild award. He won the BAFTA for Best-Actor in a Leading role. Julianne Moore was nominated for Best Supporting actress at the Globes. Tom Ford was nominated for two Independent Spirit Awards in 2009 including Best First Feature and Best First Screenplay.

1964 – Stephan Elliott is an Australian film director and screenwriter.

Elliott began his career as an assistant director working in the boom of the Australian film industry of the 1980s.

His feature films, Frauds, The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert and Welcome to Woop Woop were all officially selected to screen at the Cannes Film Festival, with "Priscilla" winning the Prix du public as well as an Academy Award for Best Costume Design, among numerous other accolades.

In 2004, Elliott was involved in a skiing accident which saw him hospitalised for several months. He credits the accident with rediscovering his sense of humour. This may go part way to explaining why, in 2007 Elliott worked with Fred Nassiri to create one of the most expensive music videos of all time. Shot in over 15 countries, with seven directors the song "Love Sees No Colour" aspires to spread a message of peace and love.

His latest film Easy Virtue, was written with co-writer Sheridan Jobbins, and is based on the Noël Coward play of the same name. He is currently in the post-production stage of his next film, A Few Best Men starring Xavier Samuel and Olivia Newton-John.

Other writing credits include 'the book' (i.e.: the script) for the stage play of 'Priscilla' which premiered in 2007 at Sydney's Lyric Theatre in Star City to excellent reviews.

Elliott came out as gay during his presentation at the inaugural AACTA Awards in Sydney on 31 January 2012.

"I've been offshore for many, many years for another reason," he said. "Basically it was because I was scared of who I was. I basically was scared that I was gay. Even after Priscilla I stayed offshore basically because I was frightened of my family. And tonight I'm coming out."

1994 – Jendrik Sigwart is a German Musical singer and actor, who appeared on Eurovision Song Quest.

Jendrik was born in Hamburg, Hamburg, Germany. He grew up in Hamburg-Volksdorf, Hamburg, Germany and is the second eldest of four siblings. As a teenager Jendrik learned to play piano and violin. He also plays the ukelele. Later he studied Musical singing and acting for four years at the Institute for Music at the University of Applied Sciences of Osnabrück, Lower Saxony, Germany.

While he was a University Student he discovered his own homosexuality.

Jendrik Sigwart appeared in various musicals, including German productions of My Fair Lady, Hairspray and Peter Pan.

Since September 25 2016 he ihas been publishing his own Music on YouTube, where he was found by German Eurovision Song Contest Representatives of NDR, Hamburg. In February 2021 NDR announced that Jendrik Sigwart will be the Singer for Germany on the Eurovision Song Contest 2021 in Rotterdam, South Holland, Netherlands.

As of May 2021 Jendrik Sigwart has been in a stable relationship with his Boyfriend Jan Rogler for more than 4 years.

[alisonscotlock]

TAG GAME: EIGHT SHOWS TO GET TO KNOW ME

tagged by @sarahlancashire 💖

scott & bailey - this is the show that got me into fandom and fanfiction (reading and writing) and basically without it i would never have met any of my internet friends. aside from that, i am not immune to fictional middle-aged female detectives with wine-red nail varnish - gill murray and julie dodson i’m looking at you both. special mention to any and all episodes written by amelia bullmore bc gdi the woman is a comedic genius

home fires - i don’t really go for war stuff usually, but this cast drew me in and thank the gods it did bc this was gorgeous. this is the show that gave me my username bc alison scotlock is the loml. it has it all - great stories, beautiful cinematography, excellent acting, a great soundtrack, plentiful pretty ladies for the milf lovers amongst us...

yonderland - only wanted to choose one show by the six idiots and honestly it could have been any of them, but yonderland won because it’s just so CLEVER while being utterly silly, which is absolutely my kind of thing. negatus is supposed to be the baddie but is just... silly and incompetent, which makes him adorable. lots of wise elder vex’s lines became lil echolalia things for me for months after i watched it

call the midwife - this is the show that has been with me for the longest time. it started when i was 15 and it’s seen me through so much and it’s my annual ‘let’s have a big cry every sunday in january and february’ comfort show with a side order of intense emotions. i have loved and/or appreciated 99% of the storylines, midwives and nuns. phyllis crane and sister julienne are my LOVES

dinnerladies - victoria wood. need i say more? this show is like an old friend to me. i can’t remember the first time i watched it but i must have seen it over 15 times. victoria’s writing is incredible and all of the cast are VERY good at bringing her characters to life. this is a get to know me and also my family kind of show - it’s the one we will all sit and watch and laugh along to and we quote it every day

last tango in halifax - look, i’m not saying some of these shows to get to know me aren’t mildly to extremely traumatising, they’re just the shows that have had the most impact on my life. sally i will never forgive you for THAT and also series 5 was so weird, but this was the first show with wlw in it that i watched after i came out and also caroline elliot is another loml (ok i have a lot...)

mum - sitcoms with added pulling hard on the heartstrings are where it’s AT. this is SO well-written and i’m a sucker for that realism. if you think it’s slow and boring then you’re watching it wrong. cathy walker, i love you. she’s so gentle. you know this show is good bc there’s a het relationship that i cry about. it’s the yearninggggg

holby city (series 14 - series 21) - again, this is not The Best by a LONG shot, but berena was my whole life when i was not great mentally and had very little else. they are my ultimate ship and bernie wolfe has my whole entire heart and basically the ik they’re fictional but if the two of them can go through the most traumatising shit and still be “happier than i ever thought possible” finding the love of their life at over 50 years of age, that gives me boundless hope <3

not tagging anyone, but if you see this and would like to be tagged, consider yourself tagged!

Spoilers to Rose Red, the Dark Tower, Carrie, the Haunting of Hill House ahead.

So we have many references to Creel House from Rose Red (screenplay by Stephen King, also his pizzaboy cameo lol)

It's second of my fave Stephen King movies (after It) so I saw it plenty of times but I apologise for not being able to rewatch to see it through byler eyes: one of the main cast and also one of my very few favorite actors Julian Sands is missing (probably most certainly dead) since January and I don't know when I'll be watching it again, now I only want to cry.

So I can't make screencaps and please, trust my memory if you can)

I want to draw some parallels and connections.

Mr. Stephen King took inspiration from Shirley Jackson's "The Haunting of Hillhouse" (which is one of my favorite, I lsten to the audiobook often but I didn't see movies) several times. For example, when she was little, Carrie White from "Carrie" made huge rocks fall onto the roof of hers and her mother's house in rage.

Eleonor, Shirley Jackson's heroine, is psychic and is invited to the Hill House as a guest in paranormal investigation (this will be repeated in the Rose Red). When she was little, she brought huge rocks on her neighbours' roof when she was upset. That accident is what makes a professor, who is gathering psychic people in Hill House, to invite Eleonor.

In Hill House, huge dilapidated haunted thing built by an eccentric man Hugh Crane for his wife and two daughters, Eleonor connects to the house.

In Rose Red there is the most important guest in their paranormal investigation: a young girl Annie Wheaton. When Annie was little, she made huge rocks fall on their neighbours' roof when she was upset.

The difference is that Annie DREW that house and those rocks, well, not rocks per se, but the motion to the roof, the strikes. Annie is a psychic and among her many abilities she can make things happen by drawing them.

"Closegate" from Will Byers probably was Annie Wheaton through Cathy Kramer's automatic writing "Help us" and "Open the doors".

Henry Creel was also drawing. He was connecting to the house. Parts of it in Henry's mindscape. He insists that nothing could change in Indiana, but was he right? How much influence is the house and in what manner is unclear and probably something turned upside down as Duffers like to do) we'll see in s05.

Will Byers and some of his drawings.

I remembered, that Roland Deschain came to the Dark Tower with Patrick Danville, an artist with a supernatural ability to bring his drawings to life. Patrick was that boy whom Ralph Roberts saved in Insomnia.

Patrick was kept many years as a prisoner by vampire Dandelo. Dandelo knew of his abilities and let him draw but kept erasers from him. Patrick never knew that he can erase until Roland gave him one.

At the Dark Tower Patrick drew the Crimson King using Roland's blood and roses' petals and then erased him.

In conclusion: Henry and Annie are psychics. Houses use them both. Both are artists who can manipulate reality through their art. And Will probably can too.
