The Battle of Saratoga

[angiewolflove]

[normasshearer]

"When [Lawrence of Arabia] was in production, screenwriter Michael Wilson was not paying much attention to Lawrence's sexuality. Wilson was more concerned with the theme of colonialism versus nationalism, and Lawrence's scholastic pursuits. This clearly displeased Lean, who wanted to paint more of a controversial character study, albeit on a large canvas, than Wilson had so far achieved. As far as one can judge from Wilson's notes, Lean had two overriding concerns - Lawrence's sexual make-up, and the scene that he would film in Petra. As far as the former is concerned, Wilson noted that Lean had, revealingly, compared the Lawrence-Ali relationship to Brief Encounter, his 1945 film about an unconsummated love affair starring Trevor Howard and Celia Johnson." - Brief Encounters: Lesbians and Gays in British Cinema 1930 – 1971 by Stephen Bourne

Palestine has been occupied for more than 76 years now, since 1948 year. This ep gives you a LOT of information, especially if you are one of the people who can’t see right through the propaganda; or the ones who go ‘well if you’re gay then go to Gaza and see how that goes for you’.

Credit: Anything That Moves / The poem continues, but the point is clear from the start: Bisexual people aren't believed for who they are. They're belittled and told to "choose a side," that they're bisexual for attention. It's difficult to think that this poem is over 30 years old. The poem "truly could've been written yesterday... or 50 years ago," said Marshall. "How long do we have to keep screaming the same things to the world over and over until people stop pretending we're speaking another galaxy's language?" --- The solace of Anything That Moves, however, is that even though progress has been slow, fellow bisexual people can relate to the shared experience detailed in its pages.:https://www.tumblr.com/yourartmatters-itswhatgotmehere/770848263124500480?source=share

TERRIFIER 3 (2024)

😿Rat smashed/squashed

It took them three (3) movies to make a decent film but hey, Terrifier 3 is actually alright to watch if you enjoy a slasher where folks who don’t necessarily deserve it get tortured. Creative weapons/kills and overall Sienna being in this again made for a memorable character plus I like what they do with her character. They even expound on the magic more in this one and it makes the way they explained the lore in Terrifier 2 look like a sick joke.

⭐⭐⭐

(Trigger Warning Suicide (?), genital mutilation, PTSD)

Our movie begins with Art the Clown, I mean, Santa, breaking into a normal family's home and loving them to bits and pieces… Yeah, let’s go with that. Five (5) years earlier though, Art's biggest fan gives birth to his head and kills herself after breaking out of asylum. Sienna is back but her brother is nowhere to be seen. I guess we just forgot about him from the second movie after Art started to cannibalize his legs but that seems like a small detail to kick someone out of a sequel for. Sienna is having PTSD hallucinations about the friends she lost in the previous film. This visitation is actually very well done and haunting as Sienna blames herself for her friend's early and gruesome demise. And also the brother is in this movie, he’s just in college and no one said anything about him until nearly 40 minutes into the film. Seriously. I wish I were joking.

Sienna is having a hard time, what with the dead parents and all the dead friends and some fangirl at her brother's college who wants to interview her about being a survivor of the Miles County Clown (AKA Art the Clown). She enjoys being at her Aunt's house with her cousin Gabbie but is still suspicious about Art. She even thinks she sees him at the mall dressed as Santa… The bar scene was particularly creative and gruesome though Art does bring out his Gun again and we all know I really didn’t enjoy that from the first movie. It just isn’t like a demon who enjoys torment to use a gun, you know? Either way we move from the unoriginal gun to the canister of liquid nitrogen and that is a big improvement. I had to pause the movie after that scene because my body hurt for the victim! From here Art goes to the mall with his bomb and I’m unsure how I feel about all the violence against children. I know it is fake but kids are innocent so it is hard for me to find any enjoyment in his bombastic present. We already had to see the boy chopped up at the top of the film so this is just adding salt (and bleach) to the wound.

Sienna figures out it was in fact Art that she saw at the mall after she sees the news about the explosion but it seems too late for her brother and Uncle who are at the college when Art is going through a creative phase with a chainsaw. By the time Sienna wakes up, Victoria Heyes, the girl who killed herself in the beginning of the movie, is in her kitchen, possessed by the demon of the Little Girl from Terrifier 2, and ready for blood. Sienna and her aunt are bound and forced to look at her dead uncle and the skull of what is said to be Gabbie. Her aunt is very gruesomely murdered with a glass pipe and some rats before we find out the skull belongs to Jonathan the brother and Gabbie is brought out. Turns out Art and Demon Victoria are trying to break Sienna so the demon in Victoria can go into Sienna… Because Sienna has been selected by the angels to stop Art even though she is so woefully underprepared for this asshole.

Through some trickery the girls are able to get the sword, kill Victoria, and half kill Art, but there is too much money in that man so he cannot die, so he escapes through a window while Gabbie is slipping into the void. The ending is a little lame, I don’t see how Gabbie can just kind of go off into a mystery dimension while Art just rides a bus (honk honk). I mean, really it was very anticlimactic after that huge fight. We didn’t even have Jonathan there to be adorable! Also still unsure how I feel about the reveal that Jonathan was dead? Not sure I would want to see that adorable kid get chopped up but also not sure I believe the double fake? Sort of wish they had an after credit scene of what Art did to him to get his head in the cage, it felt like we all missed a big important scene. But overall this ending is just a big set up for yet another sequel and at what cost to the integrity of the story?
