He Knows You're Alone (1980)

"Most people do, actually. I mean like to be scared, it's something primal, something basic. Horror movies and the roller coasters and the house of horror ride -"

"I wanna go on that next!"

"You can face death without any real fear of dying. It's safe. You can leave the movie or get off the ride with a vicarious thrill and the feeling that you just conquered death, one hell of a first class rush."

He Knows You're Alone (Armand Mastroianni, 1980)

A rewatch might be in order one day. It's likely i wasn't paying attention, but the killer here is such a coincidental being of prowling and stabbing insubstance that this movie might fall more in line with id horror than a regular slasher. And that might find support in how every male character speaks and acts for, over and through every female character. And in how the kills intrude on private spaces - dress shop to bridal suite. He knows you're alone. He knows you're a helpless dolt. He knows he can command and administer. He knows marriage means ownership. He knows he can take it all away. Stab stab cut stab. But regardless of any academic overextension, this movie kind of stinks

Meanwhile Gaze feels like the epitomy of:

Gaz's partner: (Standing up from the couch, stretching their arms up tall, on tiptoes for maximum stretching)

Gaz: "Ooooh, big stretch!"

Gaz's partner: "...?"

Gaz: ":)"

Oh my god yes! He's such a dork and an absolute sweetheart. And he wants the same treatment!! Gaz is going to be so pouty if you don't comment when he stretches.

I think Gaz is kinda like a cat himself: agile, pretty, sassy, an absolute dingdong sometimes. He complains loudly when he's hungry and rooting through the kitchen for snacks. Not that he wants you to do anything about it. He's capable. He just wants to complain lol.

He doesn't mind you having your own life outside of him. He actively encourages it. Gaz doesn't like the idea of you waiting around for him to come back from deployment. He wants you to have friends and plans. BUT he will be tagging along once he's back. Doesn't matter if it's a night out with all your friends. He's your permanent plus one.

This behavior dies out after a few days of being on leave, don't worry. He's got his own friends anyway, and plenty to do during his off time. However, he's always home by 6 for dinner, and he expects you to be too. He wants to spend time with you. I don't think you can fault him for that.

What If: Captain America Were Revived Today? #44 (April 1983) by Peter B. Gillis and Sal Buscema; Original Image by John Romita Sr.

In this What If? Marvel tale, Captain America is unfrozen in 1983 rather than the 1960s. Without the leadership of Steve Rogers, The Avengers disband. Meanwhile, a Captain America imposter, who calls himself a "real American," has decided to use his newfound influential media status to publicly support a National Identity Card to "deal with illegal aliens,” to suggest that members of civil rights groups "ought to think seriously as to whether or not their actions contribute to the strengthening of communist enemies," and declare that if those groups tear the country apart with protests, martial law is justified "for the peace to find a solution.”

Neighborhoods with large black populations (e.g., Harlem) are walled off and forced into poverty, and one character even mentions that Jewish people are being “put back into camps.” The right-wing politicians make sure that things like this aren’t shown on television, keeping the majority of the American public ignorant of the horrors committed with their indifferent support. The public are simultaneously told that with some sacrifices, America can be free once again. The fake Captain America confronts a group of peaceful protestors, and he is shot by a sniper (in what reads like an inside job), allowing the police to have “reason” to attack the protestors. The imposter does not die and instead uses the attack to provide more reason for the violent crackdown against protesting groups.

When the true Captain America is unfrozen, he is horrified to see what America has become, especially with his emblem stamped all over it. He immediately seeks out the resistance forces (who clearly represent the Black Panther Party) and joins their cause, stating that "the wrongs [he's] seen will take much more than one man to right -- but [he's] got a name to clear, a costume to unsoil-- and a country to die for!!"

By the time Steve joins them, the resistance only has one chance left to stop the American downfall: a political convention where the "America First" party will be able to secure its support to sweep the national elections and allow them "to return America to the pure and great nation [the] forefathers envisioned."

The resistance strikes just as the convention begins. The Captain America imposter is no match in a fight against the true Captain America -- especially against a Steve Rogers who's fucking pissed. ("Get up so I can knock you down!!")

With the imposter knocked unconscious, Captain America addresses the convention crowd, warning that an America that does not represent all its people does not deserve to exist at all; that liberty can be "as easily snuffed out [in America] as in Nazi Germany" and "as a people, we are no different from them."

The crowd realizes that the man speaking before them is the true Captain America and cheers. Captain America holds his hand up and silences them, stating that he will not allow them the chance to simply replace one idol with another. He alone can’t undo the horrible damage, and he pleads that there’s still a chance for the people to “find America once again.”

Fascism doesn’t change its tune, just its singers.

it's very interesting to me that a large subsection of swifties are more fixated on proving joe (repeatedly) calling for ceasefire is somehow linked to him trying to put taylor down instead of like..........actually being against genocide??? is that more believable than the fact that a person could simply not stand the horrors millions of people are facing right now?????
