Don’t Worry Darling Trailer 2

Victory is an the idealized experimental company town in the desert where the men working on the top-secret Victory Project and their families live. CEO Frank’s 1950s societal optimism anchors every aspect of the the inhabitants’ lives. Alice and Jack are two “lucky” residents. “While the husbands spend every day inside the Victory Project Headquarters, working on the “development of progressive materials,” their wives...get to spend their time enjoying the beauty, luxury and debauchery of their community. Life is perfect, with every resident’s needs met by the company. All they ask in return is discretion and unquestioning commitment to the Victory cause. But when cracks in their idyllic life begin to appear, exposing flashes of something much more sinister lurking beneath the attractive façade, Alice can’t help questioning exactly what they’re doing in Victory, and why. Just how much is Alice willing to lose to expose what’s really going on in this paradise?” (Warner Bros. Pictures)

Don’t Worry Darling stars Florence Pugh, Harry Styles, Olivia Wilde, Gemma Chan, KiKi Layne, Chris Pine, Nick Kroll, Sydney Chandler, Kate Berlant, Asif Ali, Douglas Smith, Timothy Simons, and Ari’el Stachel. Olivia Wilde is directing from a screenplay by Katie Silberman. The script is based on a story by Carey Van Dyke, Shane Van Dyke, and Silberman.

Don’t Worry Darling hits North American theaters on September 23, 2022.

Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps (2010)

In today’s review, I double-check if greed, for lack of a better word is good? As I attempt a #positive review of the 2010 long-awaited film Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps #MichaelDouglas #ShiaLaBeouf #JoshBrolin #CareyMulligan #SusanSarandon #EliWallach

The allure of money is a constant in practically every society, yet the 80s, crystallised the iconic notion of greed, as the subtle satire of 1987’s Wall Street went over the heads of the rising investor class. In 2010, with the recent economic collapse still fresh in the minds, and a wounded populace looking for answers, the masses returned to Gecko, and the allure of economic vengeance, in Wall…

Notes :

all links lead to the goodreads page of the book, mostly because i like to look at book cover art ;

list features authors/books that i love (T. Kingfisher, Silvia Moreno-Garcia, Ursula K. Le Guin, the collections from the British Library Tales of the Weird, etc.), but also a few that i don't like and some that i have not yet read ;

if upon seeing that list the first novel you check out is by Stephen King's you have not understood the assignment ;

not all of those are strictly horror stories, some are 100% science fiction (Brian W. Aldiss' Hothouse for instance).

[ladzwriting]

Honestly, Ladz, I'm scared to read fealty even though I bought it. I feel like I'll become obsessed and then want something similar

I am so flattered by this; thank you so much!!

In terms of becoming obsessed and wanting more, there are minimum 7 more volumes to write (it takes a long time to stop a forever war while preserving a vestigial empire, who knew!). But in the interim of me writing them, I have a carefully curated to-read list for the different aspects of FEALTY that you like most.

VIDEO GAMES TO PLAY

Bloodborne (2015), especially Castle Cainhurst

Fire Emblem Three Houses (2019), the Black Eagles house

I think this is most of it!! I have read and reviewed most of these on my blog, where you will find things like content and trigger warnings.

Hope this answers the questions and please take your time! FEALTY is a dense, gory book with a lot happening both politically and interpersonally, so don't feel bad about taking time to get into it.

It took me a few years from purchase to actually reading Mervyn Peake's work, for example, and it absolutely came at the right time for me.

I hope this answers the ask!

Wow, now that's a list!

Sorry for replying so late and thank you for the effort of putting this together. We'll screen the celebs on here and check out if there is enough good and inspiring material of them in order to make some captions. Safe to say that we won't get around to include ALL of them, obviously.

Question: What is the turn-on for you guys about dominant celebrity women and their feet? Is it the thought of them "enslaving" you? Or do you just like the look of the celeb-woman and imagine yourself with a "version" of her in your life? :)

PERMANENT HIATUS.

If you want to keep track of the gifs that I've made, I will be making a new "Gif Packs by Dax" profile that will be a sideblog to my new main page. My old blog @thepnwvarmints will be deactivated along with all of it's side blogs over time, this bein' one of those. Sorry, Boyd fans. Someone targeted my profile and Tumblr stopped approving my appeals, even though it wasn't explicit. Not much I can do other than move profiles. Take care and stay safe!

Much love...

Hi,

I make period drama style gifs for free. If you use gif packs, please like and reblog them. Most of my projects are already ready, but every day I post no more than 190 gifs. Because that was the reason why my previous account was blocked.

I tried to make gif packs in a format more familiar to you with a link to a separate page. However, unfortunately, I did not succeed because of the large format of high-quality gifs.

I want to explain about color processing. Usually, I improve the contrast, brightness and saturation, but leave the naturalness of the film. I don't make the contours too sharp because I like the aesthetic of it looking like a natural image.

This collection of impressive photos captures the street scenes and everyday life of Los Angeles in the 1930s.

Most of the pictures were taken by Ansel Adams who was commissioned to document the city’s industry as the country was shoring up its air power.

Many of his photographs focused on the lunchtime rituals of factory workers, along with everyday street scenes he encountered as he ambled about the rapidly developing region.

Adams visited a bowling alley, a forest of oil derricks, and a trailer park, one of many that popped up to meet a fierce demand among the workers for temporary housing.

But only a handful of Adams’ images were published by Fortune magazine.

Historian Carey McWilliams wrote that Los Angeles’s growth is “one continuous boom punctuated at intervals by major explosions.”

By 1920, southern California’s population had surpassed that of northern California, and in the next several years, Los Angeles experienced “the largest internal migration in the history of the American people.”

Hundreds of thousands of people arrived by automobile.

It was a frenzied period of wildcat oil drilling, intense business speculation, religious excitement, extensive suburban development, the birth of the aircraft and film industries, and civic corruption.

The charismatic Pentecostal minister Aimee Semple McPherson captivated audiences with her dramatic preaching.

Droves of starry-eyed young people arrived hoping to follow in the footsteps of such movie actors as Mary Pickford, “America’s Sweetheart,” and her daredevil husband, Douglas Fairbanks.

Los Angeles was very much a white-dominated town in the 1930s.

Housing and public facilities were segregated, and job discrimination was widespread.

The Great Depression caused high unemployment in the region and exhausted the resources of private and public assistance.

To slash welfare lists, public officials repatriated thousands of Mexicans—and their U.S-born children.

Amid this dire situation, Los Angeles built facilities for and hosted the 1932 Olympic Summer Games as planned.

The city’s remoteness from Europe and from much of the rest of the world contributed to reduced international participation.

Nevertheless, the Games were a great success and showcased Los Angeles to the world.

Meanwhile, the corruption in City Hall led to a recall movement against Mayor Frank L. Shaw and his close associates.

Police misconduct and the mayor’s mishandling of public funds forced Shaw from office and led to the election of reform mayor Fletcher Bowron in 1938.

Economic recovery was relatively swift in the late 1930s, owing to the prosperity of the film industry, the tapping of electrical energy from Hoover Dam, and the production of airplanes for Britain and France at the outset of World War II.
