If you, like me, wish we spent more time talking about the women of the civil rights movement, here’s a really big moment that often goes unsung: the 1969 Charleston Hospital Strike.

Protesting discriminatory treatment, the unjust termination of 12 employees, and abysmal wages, more than 60 hospital workers, all Black, most women, went on strike for 2 months. The demonstrations they staged provoked a response of over 1,000 state troopers and members of the national guard. The movement was notably supported by Coretta Scott King, widow of Martin Luther King Jr., pictured above (front center).

The investigation of the hospital that followed found 37 instances of civil rights violation, and when the state was threatened with a $12 million cut in federal funds, they yielded, rehiring the 12 employees who had been fired and agreeing to a pay increase.

One of the participants in the demonstrations, Madeline Anderson, since inducted to the Black Filmmakers Hall of Fame, made a phenomenal 30 minute documentary called “I am Somebody”. If you can find it, watch it. I was able to find a DVD at my local public library. If you’re interested in reading what I had to say about the movie, you can read my letterboxd review here.

SUBLIME CINEMA #673 - THE BEST YEARS OF OUR LIVES

Criminally difficult to find a good transfer of this film - Criterion has ignored It, and it's unusual for a movie that once took home eight Oscars to have been so forgotten. But this is a profound, understated masterpiece, with some incredible cinematography by Citizen Kane's Gregg Toland.

Vicky Christina Barcelona is Woody Allen trying to do a Pedro Almodóvar flick, except he's an """auteur""" who can only make a Woody Allen movie.

"Aha," he says, "I will move the action to Spain and include a wild relationship with a threesome and a scene with a gun! Just like Pedro."

He wishes.

#auteur here in quotes for two reasons #1: auteurs imo should be able to move outside of their customary styles if they want to and imo Allen tried and failed here #2: Woody Allen is a terrible filmmaker and terrible person that Hollywood and the American intelligentsia have propped up my entire life...#and for what? terrible movies? why.

closed starter continuation -|- american money arc 2 @xwildheart

Sometimes it’s darker in his head than he realizes. Darker than the worst time in his life, which originally had been consumed in the foreboding manipulations of famed actress Emeline Entwistle. Family always claimed to be in some relation to the infamous Peg, taking her final swan dive top of the H of the Hollywood sign. Gross fabrication in his view as was Em’s entire existence. Fabrication. Delusional. Abusive. A cesspool of dirt beneath an oil magnate giving darling daughter her fast breaks BUT oh that’s hardly his darkest.

Sitting half slumped over in a chair, wrists sore from bindings, bruises marring in a cattle brand to his entrapment, Landon’s feeling oh so dark. Swallowed hole in a barrel of insanity in the shape of another blonde; he slowly lifted his head, eyes heavy but able to peer at her. Coming closer with that sick grin on her lips it’s nightmare fuel. Forget all his terrifying visions on film. She IS terror. Wrapped up in a faux soft spoken girl, she is the metaphor for rich shiny red apple. Surface value says its tasty, sweet but inside its core is rotten.

“I want you to know,” Marigold insisted, dragging fingers back through his hair. Gripping to yank his head back, she hovered, lips curved in a smile. “That I’m going to keep you… forever. AND EVER.” Forever and hell can be better. Hell is better. Hell is empty because all those unfathomable devils are here inside this demented diva. She keeps touching him. Grabbing onto his face, stroking along his beard, pulling her unwanted fingers through his hair; Landon struggles to move away. Unable to make his body do what it needs he’s frozen. Not even his voice works. Begging her to fucking stop touching him! Somehow she does hear it even when his lips are sealed closed. Oh and she hates that because she can see right through him.

“Do you see her?” Marigold taunts, pulling hands off to slam them down onto the table beside a dish. “Do you see her here, Landon? DO YOU SEE HER? I cut off her pretty little head just for you. On a silver platter!” She pulled the dome off the dish, giggling as she unveiled her best table spread. Alice all dead!

“St-STOP!” Landon’s voice strangles out, gaining volume in a sweaty rouse. His forehead glistens under a glow of the outside lights crossing into his bedroom. No windows open to allow any sort of breeze so it’s all stifling. Suffocating in his home, closed away battered and disabled. Leg is throbbing in his movement sitting up in a jolt. His breathing hastens in his horrifying disorientation. One might think he’s having a heart attack the way he’s currently clutching at his chest. Beating so hard against his ribs, dreams are dangerous in his state. They keep coming. Every one seems to be worse than the last but here he is. Awake and here with –

“Alice?” he murmured, shifting to an empty side in his bed. His hand dropped from his pounding heart onto the space. Sheets crumpled where she once had been. Where she’s now gone and suddenly the director’s nightmare brain confuses it for reality. “Alice?!”
