#steve buscemi is my husband

[livingmybestfictionallife]

Find yourself a partner who you can laugh with, because when your husband tells you that you have the personality of Aubrey Plaza, dress like Steve Buscemi (specifically in Big Daddy), and sometimes make voices that ends up sounding like Christopher Walken, you really have no other option.

Seven years of this man’s antics.

[jolapeno]

Some TV shows that I recommend (for your not studying series!):

Kevin Can F*** Himself (2021 - 2022)

Follows a woman (Allison) who is married to the kind of man you saw in every 2000s sitcom - an ignorant, bumbling idiot whose dismissive and malicious behavior is played for laughs. What starts out as a single-camera sitcom with a laugh track when Kevin (her husband) is in the room changes when he's not on screen - then the show is shot on a multiple camera set up like a drama, and follows Allison's real & often terrifying journey to leave her abusive marriage. SO fucking smart, so good. Funny and terrifying and the finale of this show is gonna stick with me FOREVER the pay of was fucking killer.

Please Like Me (2013 - 2016)

This is an Australian show that pretty much no one I know has watched where I live but it is SO GOOD. Someone please watch this so I'm not alone in loving it. Also the theme song is such a bop.

Miracle Workers (2019 - 2023)

An anthology series starring Daniel Radcliffe, Steve Buscemi, and Geraldine Viswanathan. The first and last seasons are my personal favorite, but Daniel Radcliffe is a masterpiece in all four.

yay! thank you so much for this!!

I have heard nothing but good things about Kevin Can F Himself and I love the lead actress a lot from other work so I will deffo be giving this a go!!

The others I will deffo also watch a trailer for! 🩷

as a gift back, I recently (late to the party) watched the night agent and couldn’t recommend that enough. it’s on Netflix, and season two will be out soon!! 🩷🫂

The loser is either too queer to be a cishet movie or too cishet to be queer…

How is it cishet media?

Fargo: Protagonist is a pregnant lady with a normal man husband and a normal man job. antagonist is a man with a wife and son. so much nucelar family, booooringgggg (my favourite movie of all time)

Clue: the final line of the movie is “I’m going home to sleep with my wife!” spoken by either a gay guy pretending to be straight to his boss or a straight guy pretending to be gay and then coming out as straight at the end. everyone else is definitely supposed to be cishet even though I say otherwise.

How is it lgbt?

Fargo: Twinky boy (steve buscemi) in a turtleneck kind of loosely calls his big buff crime partner (peter stormare) or at least says the word “daddy” WAY too much and in very close proximity to BLOOD and MURDER. also he stares at him the entire time they’re hooking up with two girls its so funny they didnt even try to hide it. they fucking hate each other and its insane and i love them and it ends in murder with a big fucking axe and a woodchipper, there is nothing queerer than whatever the hell was going on there

Clue: SUPER CAMPY!!!!! and Tim Curry and Lesley Ann Warren were there bisexualizing it. The outfits and acting in the movie went hard.

Sunglasses

   I used to have a pair of wrap-around sunglasses that fit over my regular glasses. They also shaded the sides of my face, which was incredibly useful for driving; having bright sun streaming in the side window and blinding you is just as bad as too much light from the front. My husband told me they made me look like an old lady with an eye disease, which was tactless. True, but tactless. They broke years ago and I’ve never found a replacement. I decided to search online . . and struck completely-the-hell out.

   Ok, FIRST of all, what even is THIS

I . . I don’t have time to unpack . . but . . .  this came up in one of my searches in the top ten results, even though it dates from 2016 and was apparently written by Steve Buscemi after taking magic mushrooms?

   The other options I found were Amazon* (no), ETSY (why?) and a site called ‘Surpius’ which is Very Weird and also had no actual way to put any items in a cart to check out. Like - it had all the elements on the page that would usually mean “we are selling stuff” but there was no way to make a purchase.

Yes, my optician does have something like this, but it’s priced about ten times what it should be and I was hoping to do better.

   “Solar Shields are bae.” I am utterly at a loss to cope.

* also, when I went to Amazon just to look at them, I got bumped into Amazon’s Spanish version?? I’m not confident enough in Spanish to  do business in it, even if I did want to buy from Amazon.

[slithyt0ves]

i just watched Con Air for the first time and basically live texted my reactions to my husband so here are some highlights from that

John Cusack is a mess in this movie

no really why is he like a soggy kitten

Colm Meany's accent really came on strong in the first scene he's in and then pretty much disappeared entirely which tbh im thankful for

Nick Cage's has been a nightmare all the way through

BUT HERE'S MY BABY STEVE BUSCEMI TO SAVE THE WHOLE FILM!!!!

like why the fuck is John Cusack wearing socks and fucking sandals and a nice linen suit

John Malkovich is great though as usual

Was not expecting Dave Chappelle, but then was not surprised when he was playing a crack head

96% of the things coming out of Cage's mouth are pure memes(tm)

also apparently im watching the edited for tv version which is making it even funnier

literally every person in this movie is in a billion other things

its like a smorgasboard of awesome b-list actors and i am feasting happily

"i SAID put the bunny back in the box!"

"Now you're talking semantics. What if I told you insane was working fifty hours a week in some office for fifty years at the end of which they tell you to fuck off? Ending up in some retirement village, hoping to die before suffering the indignity of trying to make it to the toilet in time?"

now they're in an airplane graveyard

literally why are some of these old planes that have clearly been sitting here dead for years smoking?

here we have a fight sequence between John Cusack and a plane

"Of course we're having trouble finding him! He's off saving the rainforest, or recycling his sandals or some shit!"

thank you for that Chief O'Brien

recycling his sandals

that's the worst insult he can come up with for a guy who he hates simply because he dares to think that prisoners are human beings and its valuable to try to understand them psychologically

lord they found the ugliest little girl that was currently living in 1997 to play the girl that Steve is gonna try to eat or whatever

(my husband replied 'he's not gonna eat her, they're friends" XD)

"Whaddaya think I'm gonna do? I'm gonna save the friggin day."

the little girl looks like handsome squidward

Guy to Cyrus: "Please, Cy--" Cyrus: "Anora." **tosses cigarette*

I AM FUCKING CACKLING

god damn John Cusack in his sandals and fine linen suit hotwiring a truck

dont-SLAM-treat-SLAM-women-SLAM-like that-SLAM!

omgomgomgomg the whole last like, twenty minutes of the movie i was going "is it bad that i kind of want Steve to escape" and then he DOES

just livin his best serial killer life in vegas, as he should

that was a fuckin ROMP

Fun Facts About “Of Two Minds”

As you may have heard, my latest story, “Of Two Minds” was published in Starlite Pulp Review #2. It is the third in the Lady Sheriff Series. If you’re interested in reading my story, you can buy a copy of the review here. This post is about the fun facts / behind the scenes of this story. Enjoy!

This is not the first time I used the title “Of Two Minds” for a story. Years ago, I wrote a fantasy story by the same title, which was rejected by everyone and their brother. Just as it should have been. Since it was a failed story, I took the title and used it for this tale. The title actually suits this story better and matches up with the themes.

https://youtu.be/h2Ccbjp3hCg 

The song, “Hang Out the Stars in Indiana” sung by Al Bowlly, is featured in “Of Two Minds.” A British singer, he was known for “The Very Thought of You” and “Melancholy Baby,” he tragically died in a Luftwaffe Parachute Mine explosion in 1941.

Sheriff Claire Williams wears her badge when she’s on duty, and carries it around in her purse when she’s off-duty, in case she needs to put it on. I’ve tried to do research, to figure out what a sheriff’s badge from Indiana in the 1930s, and haven’t been able to come up with anything. I found this cute little badge on Temu and it matches what I’ve described in the series. I put my little badge next to an old 1917 postcard: the note is from one great-great grandmother to another, and mentions Edith giving birth to Margaret. Edith was my great-grandmother, whose story and a bit of her personality inspired Claire Williams. And Margaret was my grandma, whose stories of the past inspired many of my writings.

There’s a character named Isom in the story. On my mom’s side of the family, we have an ancestor named Isom.

Deputy Joseph Frank is a series regular character and I imagine him looking like a young Steve Buscemi.

Blackbirds show up in “Of Two Minds.” If you’re a Terre Haute/Wabash Valley native, you’re familiar with the plague of blackbirds that show up every October and torture us until the following spring. I used to live in the center of town and the birds were so bad there, when they flew in hordes over us, we’d have to run from the house to the car – or visa versa – carrying newspapers over our heads to avoid their… deposits. Our cars would be coated in a grotesque mix of white, brown, red, and black. Very nasty business.

“Leaning on the Everlasting Arms” is featured in this story, sung by Deputy Frank. I consider it the theme song for this series.

https://youtu.be/XYG9bXOLr_E

In my continual research of this time period and of the lady sheriffs in the early 20th century in general, I came across this fascinating clip on YouTube. It took me a few months, but I was able to learn the sheriff’s full name was Sheriff Jennie Walker. Her journey to sheriff was a little different from those who inherited their positions from their deceased husbands. After her husband’s failed campaign, upon the encouragement of the locals, Jennie Walker campaigned for the position and was elected…she was the first woman to be elected sheriff in Kentucky! She served the people faithfully and was respected by all. Special thanks to Knox Historical Museum for answering my many questions about Sheriff Jennie Walker. She’s become yet another part of the inspiration for my Lady Sheriff Series.

Coen Brothers Recap : Fargo

This 1996 film tells the tale of Jerry Lundegaard (William H Macy) who hires two criminals Carl Showalter (Steve Buscemi ) and Gaear Grimsrud(Peter Stomare ) ,to kidnap his own wife Jean(Kristian Rudeud) in order to get money out of his father in law Wade (Harve Presnell ) ,but unfortinately for Jerry ,Gaear is kind of a psycho ,thus blood is spilt ,leading pregnant police chief Marge Gunderson (Frances McDormand ) investigating the case .So full disclosure I only partially rewatched this one , only because I actually rewatched it not that long ago ,and it is among the Coen Brothers films I have seen the most .....I also think it is easily one of their first true masterpieces .It is a great movie in my mind .It is both a great crime thriller ,but also REALLY funny,with some wonderful dark humor .I love that Jerry as played by William H Macy is not some scheming mastermind,he's a complete idiot whose nice guy persona is completely at odds with the monstrus thing he is doing .Steve Buscemi and Peter Stomare are fantastic villains,in that they are hilarious(Especially Buscemi ),but are still extremely menacing (Especially Stomare ) .What makes the film work is its unlikely hero Marge ,who is an unassuming but very sweet person who happens to be great at her job ,and McDormand does an excellent job (Also her relationship with her husband played by John Carrol Lynch is so adorable while also being so subtle).I also love the way the film looks,its a film where you can FEEL the coldness of it , with some BEAUTIFUL music by Carter Burwell .If I have a complaint ,its that there is a scene where Marge meets an old acquaintance which feels unneeded to me ,but the rest of the film is so good I dont mind it.GREAT movie highly recommended

Was telling my husband about Alex Hirsch's tweet about a live-action reboot of Gravity Falls with Danny Devito as every character, and my husband said that'd be perfect except Stan is kind of action-y, and floated the idea of Steve Buscemi as Stanley AND Stanford, but with JK Simmons doing voiceover to reprise his role, and I like that, too.

How is it cishet media?

Fargo: Protagonist is a pregnant lady with a normal man husband and a normal man job. antagonist is a man with a wife and son. so much nucelar family, booooringgggg (my favourite movie of all time)

The Bodyguard : cishet love story AND the titular character feels guilt for the fact conservative bitch Ronald Regan got shot.

How is it lgbt?

Fargo: Twinky boy (steve buscemi) in a turtleneck kind of loosely calls his big buff crime partner (peter stormare) or at least says the word “daddy” WAY too much and in very close proximity to BLOOD and MURDER. also he stares at him the entire time they’re hooking up with two girls its so funny they didnt even try to hide it. they fucking hate each other and its insane and i love them and it ends in murder with a big fucking axe and a woodchipper, there is nothing queerer than whatever the hell was going on there

The Bodyguard : listen to the soundtrack and watch the performances. especially queen of the night and i’ll always love you. tell me it didn’t contribute anything to the LGBT community and fashion. look at me. LOOK AT ME. also kevin cosner and whitney houston don’t even end up with each other in the end because of circumstances. we hate cishetero love in this house

The Best Films of 2020

The 15 Best Films of 2020

Normally, when I assess a full year of cinematic offerings, I consider both sides of that coin  —  the outstanding entities, and the least successful —  but the year of our lord two thousand and twenty provided more than enough misery for all of us, I do believe. Ergo, in my own small way to bring better vibes into the universe, for this year’s round-up, I’m staying solely on the positive tip, highlighting those films whose unfortunate release date during the Year of the Hex shouldn’t preclude them for being fully appreciated. Let’s take a year off from negativity and schadenfreude, shall we, and just stroll amongst the poppies and bright sunshine of some of the best releases of the year.  

15. The Invisible Man

“Leigh Whannell’s film is thoroughly modern in approach and sophistication, but the film it most reminded me of was made back in 1944. George Cukor’s Gaslight starred Charles Boyer as a loathsome husband who attempts to convince his already anxious wife (Ingrid Bergman) that she’s going insane by secretly rearranging things in their house and taking things from her so she thinks she’s always misplacing them. He preys on her emotional vulnerability in order to mask his own pathology and emotional detachment. The effect is absolutely enraging: Onscreen, he’s one of the more hateful villains ever committed to celluloid.”

Full Review

14. The Killing of Two Lovers

“From the opening sequence, with a distraught, estranged husband standing over the bed of his wife and her new boyfriend with malice in his heart, and a gun in hand, the film spirals out into incredibly well structured compositions, taking us inside and outside of David’s recurring psychosis, utilizing a bevy of techniques: The framing shrinks down around him, the sound gets muffled, as if underwater, save for the incredibly unnerving metallic sound of cables being stretched taut, and the sickening kathunk of a heavy car door slamming shut.”

Capsule Review

13. Another Round

“Typically, Vinterberg avoids simple conclusions  —  and God help us all if this film gets picked up by a U.S. studio and remade with, say, Vince Vaughn, Kevin James, Steve Buscemi, and Chris Rock  —  providing more or less equal examples of the delirious fun drinking with your friends can be (the film opens with a group of high schoolers gleefully doing “lake races” whereby teams compete to drink a case of beer while running around the nearby body of water; and closes with the same teen crew, and some of their teachers, whooping it up in celebrating their graduation); and the horrorshow it can become (one teacher ends up peeing the bed, and on his wife in the process, another wakes up bloodied and out of it in front of his neighbor’s house), leading to very real and horrible consequences.”

Capsule Review

12. Soul

“Co-director Pete Docter is the creative force behind many of Pixar's best titles, having a hand in the Toy Story franchise, WALL-E, Up, and also directing Inside Out, a brilliantly moving treatise on the subject of emotional upheaval. This film, which he co-wrote and made along with fellow co-director Kemp Powers, is his first film back at the helm since that high-water mark, and he has again dug into the fertile earth of our mortality and come back with a particularly vibrant crop.”

Full Review

11. The Burnt Orange Heresy

“Based on the novel by Charles Willeford, the film briskly moves through its paces, clouding the waters with the schemes of duplicitous men, who have sold out any love of art for their greater obsession of cash and prestige. A literary thriller in the vein of The Talented Mr. Ripley, it’s become a genre all too rare in the era of blockbuster bravado. This film will remind you what a mistake that is.”

Full Review

10. Lovers Rock

“In the course of the party, the fuses blow while the house DJ is spinning Janet Kay's "Silly Games," a fan favorite at the time. Undaunted, the guests continue dancing away, singing the lyrics a capella in delirious unison, as McQueen's camera swirls around the living room as if nothing happened. Such a heartfelt moment of unbridled togetherness, putting into distinct bas relief the sense of community we've been denied as a species in 2020, feels like a benediction, an epitaph for the year, and a salve for what we've all been so desperately missing.”

Capsule Review

9. Time

“Ostensibly, it’s about the strain of incarceration on even the most grounded of families (an experience naturally disproportionate for POCs); but, on a deeper level, it’s also about the manner of our use of the limited number of revolutions we get to enjoy situated on this earth. It is a profound knock-out.”

Full Review

8. New Order

“Meet the new boss, only in Michel Franco’s damning portrait of a society locked forever in cycles of oppression, revolution, and new oppression, it makes no difference who you are, what your belief system is, or whether or not you subscribe to a moral set of ethics.”

Capsule Review

7. Dick Johnson is Dead

“Utilizing stunt people and special effects, Johnson kills her father off a number of different gruesome ways, as a means of softening the blow of actually losing him as his mind slowly slips away. This eventually culminates in a final gambit, both acutely painful and deeply moving, in which our sense of things gets seriously upended. As Johnson put it during the post-screening Q&A, the film serves as a “doomed experiment trying to keep my father alive forever.” This film won’t make him immortal, alas, but it does make him indelible.”

Capsule Review

6. Martin Eden

“Marcello packs the film with offbeat bits and pieces of other films, including strips of what appear to be vintage home movies, sometimes in juxtaposition to what Martin is feeling  —  a group of kids swinging wildly from the bar of a fence, to a full galley ship taking in water and suddenly sinking like an iron ingot – which adds a more winsome, timeless element to the narrative. It’s clearly set in the past, but avoids being too dependent on that particular sense of place and time. Martin is a young man, at first, just coming into himself, and the actions he takes, what he goes through, the film seems to suggest, would be similar in any age.”

Full Review

5. Minari

“The film is certainly charming, but that’s not to diminish its straightforward approach to its characters’ plight. It doesn’t shy away from their difficulties, and as a result, it doesn’t cheat towards smarmy emotional closure.”

Capsule Review

4. Collective

“The breath of hope in the film, when the inept Minister of Health resigns, leading to the placing of a new, emboldened director who works quickly to clean the quagmire left by his predecessors, is just as quickly expelled after the next round of elections, in which the Social Democrat party  —  the very ones in charge of this catastrophe in the first place  —  gets re-elected with an even greater majority than what they had before. A perfect reflection of what happens when a government is allowed to exist without any meaningful oversight, other than from a bedraggled press and a disenchanted electorate.”

Full Review

3. First Cow

“Reichardt, a naturalist at heart, is not known much as a humorist, but there is a lightness to her screenplay -- co-written by Jonathan Raymond, her frequent collaborator, who wrote the original novel upon which its based -- that keeps it as sweetly airy as one of Cookie's fried confections. The two friends are so out of step with their surroundings -- the party of men Cookie initially travels with are little more than brutish thugs, and the fort upon which they end up is no better -- they almost had to find each other. They are reunited in the local bar of the fort only because literally every other patron runs out to egg on a brawl between two loutish combatants.”

Full Review

2. Never Rarely Sometimes Always

“Hittman’s eye for detail and emotional complexity  —  her characters can rarely articulate anything they’re experiencing  —  is incredibly acute, and she pulls tremendously understated performances out of her two leads.”

Capsule Review

1. Nomadland

“Perhaps no American director since Terrance Malick has made more of the collapsing light of dusk and twilight than Chloe Zhao. Much of her new film, which stars Frances McDormand as a transigent woman (“not homeless, houseless”), who traverses back and forth across the west in her beat up live-in van, doing seasonal work, takes place in that particular kind of vibrant half-darkness that shrouds the desert and its mountains with a magic kind of mystery.”

[alliluyevas]

since i just watched it the other night instead of doing readings for one of my classes do u have any 🔥 abt the death of stalin the movie

mel you are so valid...i have so many opinions i’m going to share SEVERAL...a lot of these i have aired on here to some degree

i hate the last scene between khrushchev and svetlana where he snaps at her and then ships her off to vienna to get her out of the way, i think it’s hugely out of character considering his irl relationship with her and i think it takes a lot of the agency out of her eventual defection and it sucks, so i really hate that the movie ends on that note.

i have some qualms about molotov’s portrayal in tdos, and i don’t really know whether it’s the way that michael palin plays him or it’s the writing or both, but i think he’s too affable meek nerdy grandpa and not enough Iron Arse stick in the mud. like it portrays some aspects of molotov’s personality but not others, and ultimately i feel like he comes off more as a brainwashed ideological victim of stalin than being as culpable and as lockstep with totalitarian repression as he was irl. like i wouldn’t go as far as saying it was awful or that michael palin was miscast, but there were some things i didn’t *love*.

in a similar vein mikoyan was SO underused, like he’s kind of a one-off background comic relief character with bulganin and i think he’s one of the most interesting and sympathetic figures of this milieu and i would love to see him get his time to shine more.

i’m really glad polina and nina and the stalin kiddos got as much screentime as they did but i wish we’d gotten to see more of the other wives and kiddos or at least had their existence mentioned. specifically i would have liked to have khrushchev’s kids acknowledged (he still had three teenagers living at home at this time but it’s not referenced, and i think it would have given more dramatic weight to beria’s threats against his family) and on the flip side especially because we do get a scene inside his home i would have like to see beria’s own family acknowledged because like. all these people were husbands and fathers including him and there’s something viscerally horrifying about that.

also related to the last point but esp because she had a comparatively small role i would have liked to see nina khrushcheva played by a plus-size woman, like i get casting someone with a different body type for khrushchev himself bc it’s a major role and despite looking different steve buscemi really embodied it, but for a smaller role i wish they’d portrayed her appearance more accurately.
