read up on some of the history of Obsidian Entertainment today & learned about the cancelled "Snow White and the Seven Dwarves" action game & felt my eyes bugging out of my head

The Untouchables.

how long after they find those submarine guys do we have to wait before we can start making movies about it because i sincerely think that with the right director this could be one of the best psych horror films of all time. the bottle episode to end all bottle episodes with a perfectly selected cast of the five absolute worst people in the world

The Untouchables (1987)

I saw a post saying how Goncharov is the logical conclusion for how Tumblr engages with media. Just look at all the made up lore for the Onceler or all the AU's for Undertale and the logical next step was to just cut out the middle man and make up the media everything is based on

Well asI was saying in this post, I do think Goncharov is kind of a... mimesis of passion one feels for media, especially engaging with "Classic" media much like how tumblr was collectively engaging with Dracula in Dracula Daily. I think it's kind of a symptom that we do actively thirst for media with deep, serious themes and memorable storytelling because so much entertainment now is coming out of this streaming culture of, "It doesn't really matter if its good all that matters is you keep watching." Like yes, this is absolutely a fun self-parodying of how tumblr engages with media, but it's also this communal storytelling and I honestly hope it inspires people to engage with media that they hadn't engaged with before because they shunned it as hegemonic. Like... this site kind of poisoned itself with rejection of literary and film canon by shrugging off all this stuff as "stuff made by white dudes that's important only because white dudes say it's important" like---Don't dismiss it all! There's some genuinely amazing stuff in there!!!

Which is why I'm now saying that everyone's homework assignment is to watch Brian De Palma's The Untouchables (1987) and then we can all talk about that final stairway shootout scene which is SO COOL.

There's nothing more ironic and mis-leading than MCU Spider-Mans song choices. Left Hand Free, Bliztkrieg Bop (whitch is even from a punk bans), Confident, Act my age. Those song choices imply a young asshole with attitue and a chip on his shoulder that has more left leaning politics, whitch MCU Peter is basicly none of those things, whitch sucks because if those song choices were accurate we could've gotten a pretty accurate Peter.

GOD!! GOD!! I'VE SAID THIS SO MANY TIMES!! the ONLY person working for marvel studios who knows a damn thing about peter parker is the guy who picked the music. they're the only one who gets it. they get it. they understand peter parker.

left hand free is SUCH a galaxy brained song choice for ditko era spider-man.

ditko era spider-man who wholeheartedly believed that spider-bite granted him undeniable swagger!!!

you don't know HOW excited i was that this was the song they used to introduce mcu peter parker. if they'd just... if they'd just asked the person who picked this song why they picked it to introduce peter parker, then i guarantee the people working on the movie would've had a greater understanding of who peter parker is. you could NOT have picked a better song to introduce a ditko-era spider-man. how could you start so strong... and drop the ball so hard...

in another vein i remember "time to pretend" being used in the homecoming marketing and thinking god. god. that's also such a galaxy-brained song choice for peter. like the people who picked the songs associated with mcu spider-man were just fucking... enlightened. they understood teenage peter parker better than anyone else working on that damn movie. goddamn. goddamn.

galaxy brained... galaxy brained... i want to meet whoever picked the mcu spider-man tracklist. i want to shake their hand. they get peter parker better than anyone. better than me. better than you. they know what's going on.

Okay, The Menu is fantastic. Kinda depressing, but fantastic. Highly recommended.

I love movies that have been given a lot of thought. This could have easily become a "how horrendously can a person be killed while eating", but it kept itself a high step above. But it's not overly cerebral either.

Anyway, I really enjoyed it.

Happy 84th birthday to master filmmaker Brian De Palma!

FROM THE START self-love and acceptance has been one of the major themes of the series and if ANYONE could benefit from that tigress is RIGHT THERE

Coeli's Picks: Men, part 2

(Multiple movies listed left to right.)

One Dress a Day Challenge

Amadeus (1984) / F. Murray Abraham as Antonio Salieri and Tom Hulce as Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart

Deep Space 9 (various episodes) / Armin Shimerman as Quark

"He has lots of interesting costumes but I think this may be my favorite." (Note: It's known as the "Aztec Cherry" suit.)

Knives Out (2019) / Chris Evans as Ransom Drysdale

"If you haven't seen this movie, you must. Note the holes in the iconic sweater - the costumer used them to show the character's carelessness with his expensive things. He also wears the below jacket and scarf over the sweater in his first scene."

Highlander (1986) / Sean Connery as Ramirez

The Untouchables (1987) / Billy Drago as Frank Nitti

"I don't think this white Armani suit is a super-accurate '20s style, but it makes the gangster look like the angel of death he's supposed to be, so it works! Plus it's just gorgeous."

Starcrash (1978) / Christopher Plummer (slumming) as the Emperor

Much Ado About Nothing (1993) / Main male cast

Lexx (s1 e1, "I Worship His Shadow") / Barry Bostwick as Thoden

yknow its odd that in movies/artwork/etc where they both appear simonne évrard is made to look much older than charlotte corday when actually they were both in their mid/late 20s and there couldnt really have been a perceptible age difference in their appearances. it fucking sucks. theres nothing wrong with being older obviously but its so so clear why they do it.
