Home at last. Allow me to formally introduce Mattie.

Taken at the servo. Also have a pic Dad took while I was driving. He thought the sunset was pretty. Something in the orange.

Lemme tell you about this beastie.

I need a sparky to have a squizz at her cuz practically nothing electronic in her works. Radio works. Dash lights work. Brake lights work. Headlights work.

That's all that works.

She's got no rear lights, no rear indicators, no hazards, no horn, her petrol gauge doesn't work, her electric fuel tank switch doesn't work, it was a bitch and a half switching her tanks on the highway because I had no warning that she was about to sputter and then she did and I had to grapple around under the seat unable to signal to anyone around me that she's a hazard because her hazards DO NOT WORK and then it took her three gruelling seconds to kick back in after I managed to switch tanks.

But she went 25 in a 65 to 70 in about 3 seconds, so that's cool. Almost gave me a fucken nosebleed, heh.

Her headliner's falling in on the driver's side, her cigarette lighter doesn't work but she reeks of cheap Marlboro, her antenna's snapped off, but hey, at least she's got an 8track. But her tiller's also turned wrong—the bitch sits sideways. She's got some give to it too, takes some wobble to make the steering catch. No power steering, no power brakes, she screams when you drive cuz the vent windows don't seal properly so you need to leave them cracked open, but when you do that you can hardly hear the person next to you over the wind roar. Her heater don't work, her dash lights are so fucken dim you can't even see them until it's pitch black outside and even then you can barely make out any of the readings, her driver's side door sticks and you gotta breech it with your shoulder to make it open, her emergency brake only engages if you kick the fucken thing like a mule, her dome light don't work, and her headlights are so dim that the highbeams are the only thing what come close to normal brightness headlights.

But her engine purrs heavenly, and she's got good bones, and I love her. I love her for all the work I get to put into her. I love her for everything wrong with her that I get to fix.

Fifty-six years ago tomorrow, my father went to Vietnam. And fifty-six years ago, this car was built. And today, the day before the fifty-sixth anniversary of my dad going to Vietnam in 1968, I've got myself a 1968 Ford F250 Camper Special Custom Cab, my dream car. So here's to brighter days and better tomorrows, and more sunrises than sunsets.

I'm gonna go make myself a drink and wake up at the arsecrack of dawn tomorrow morning so I can wash her before putting her over to the grease monkeys so they can have a crack at her, because sometime this weekend we're heading back south to pick up Tilly from the repairshop, and I'm not driving home in the dark with no fucken lights again.

So last week, after finishing @re-dracula, I decided to make a re-watch of that Nineties Coppola Dracula movie with my SO, who just really loves this flick. And, well. There's quite some stuff to unpack now. And I will do so, tomorrow or so.

But for now, I just want to talk about one thing:

This. This is why this movie will never be a total disaster to me. That's the one thing that it, as a movie, can add to the story. We can discuss the use of movie adaptations all day, but thanks to this arousing little gemstone of a quick scene, we don't have to in the case of Dracula (1992). Because this is a scene that is not in the book. Because it wouldn't work in the book.

This scene only makes sense in a visual medium like film. It has to be quick, almost in passing. It has to be told visually, or else it's either too complex or too simple to have an effect on the audience. And, of course, it has to be played by a goshdarn genius of an actor.

Plus, this scene only makes sense because Jonathan doesn't notice it, which makes it an impossible thing to tell in the novel, where all we have is Jonathan's point of view. And, best of all, this also means that this way it does not contradict the source material. Which s just so fucking clever!

This sexy act of midnight snacking is the perfect addendum to an already great scene. It's cinema gaining bragging rights. Here, Coppola made everything right. He had the Count enter, he had him say "Fowl Bauble of Man's Vanity" *fangirl shriek*, and then he ended this climax in the best way possible. Up to this point, the scene is perfect enough to let me even glance over the missing Yeet Mirror scene.

But enough talking. Let's watch it once more. Slowly. And really savour it.

Gosh. Oldman. You gorgeous bastard.

(Thanks to @diablito666 for this dashing slowmo. I needed that.)

'He Ran All the Way' – John Garfield's last stand on Criterion Channel

‘He Ran All the Way’ – John Garfield’s last stand on Criterion Channel

John Garfield is all jittery paranoia and street-kid anger as a small-time hood in a bad spot in He Ran All the Way (1951). Over the course of a couple of sweltering days, he shoots a cop in a payroll robbery (Norman Lloyd is the partner who pressures him into the job) and takes a working-class family hostage in his escape. Hiding out at a public pool, he picks up a shy shop girl (Shelley…

Essay by film critic Farran Smith Nehme

The most transgressive film produced by a major American studio in the 1930s, Tod Browning’s crowning achievement has haunted the margins of cinema for nearly one hundred years. An unforgettable cast of real-life sideshow performers portray the entertainers in a traveling circus who, shunned by mainstream society, live according to their own code—one of radical acceptance for the fellow oppressed and, as the show’s beautiful but cruel trapeze artist learns, of terrifying retribution for those who cross them. Received with revulsion by viewers upon its initial release, Freaks effectively ended Browning’s career but can now be seen for what it is: an audacious cry for understanding and a singular experience of nightmarish, almost avant-garde power.

The most celebrated and exquisitely perverse of the many collaborations between Tod Browning and his legendary leading man Lon Chaney, The Unknown features a wrenchingly physical performance from “the Man of a Thousand Faces” as the armless Spanish knife thrower Alonzo (he flings daggers with his feet) whose dastardly infatuation with his beautiful assistant (Joan Crawford)—a woman, it just so happens, who cannot bear to be touched by the hands of any man—drives him to unspeakable extremes. Sadomasochistic obsession, deception, murder, disfigurement, and a spectacular Grand Guignol climax—Browning wrings every last frisson from the lurid premise.

A fantastically atmospheric but rarely seen missing link in the development of Tod Browning’s artistry, set amid his favored milieu of shadowy sideshows and clever criminals, The Mystic provides a striking showcase for silent-era diva Aileen Pringle, who sports a series of memorably outré looks (courtesy of art-deco designer Erté) as Zara, a phony psychic in a Hungarian carnival who, under the guidance of a Svengali-like con man (Conway Tearle), crashes—and proceeds to swindle—American high society. Browning’s fascination with the weird is on full display in the eerie séance sequences, while his subversive moral ambiguity extends surprising sympathy to even the most seemingly irredeemable of antiheroes.

'The Set-Up' – Robert Ryan in the great boxing noir on Criterion Channel

‘The Set-Up’ – Robert Ryan in the great boxing noir on Criterion Channel

Robert Ryan was a well-respected actor with a legacy is intense supporting performances behind him when he finally earned top billing in The Set-Up (1949), a boxing drama seeped in the film noir world of corruption, betrayal, and brutality. Ryan plays Bill “Stoker” Thompson, an aging, past-his-prime boxer who still dreams of a shot at the title despite his losing streak and his body breaking…

Rewatching the cut scenes and i HAVE to share this (sorry for the horrendous quality i have the dvd not the blu ray version. If anyone has blu ray feel free to add onto this)

For reference, this is the mirror scene in ATOTS and OH MY GOD. I have no idea why it was changed but look at Ford's photo! It's there in the first image, then turned away in the second, then gone completely in the third. I am genuinely baffled by the decision to change this. Maybe an accident? Maybe someone among the team decided this is somehow too on the nose or out of character? I genuinely do not understand why it's different in the series (there's the "first dollar" plaque instead of a Ford picture) and it will now haunt me forever

#there is. so much character behind this.#there is. so much implication #i have no idea why it was changed #i genuinely don't #oh my god #stanley pines #stanford pines #probably??#i really don't like tagging more things than necessary
