James Horner’s Titanic score was the first film score I ever listened to without the film playing. But the thing about Titanic’s score is that you certainly don’t need the film playing to enjoy it. Horner and Cameron both respectively created such masterful pieces of art that you can easily listen to the score alone, and immediately see images from the film in your mind, or watch the film on mute and hear the score anyway. 

The above piece is constructed of two songs. If you’re a diehard fan of the film or movie scores, you know that this particular piece has never been made commercially available…not even in the recent release. It’s essentially “Rose” and “Unable to Stay, Unwilling to Leave,” combined. But don’t be fooled, the “Rose” used was not the album version. It utilized the recently released, “Rose Alternate” as well as a never before released version of “Unable to Stay, Unwilling to Leave,” that takes away the bagpipes, and emphasizes the sweeping strings and synth instead. 

I would love to know how this piece was chosen for the ending. I would love to know if it was all Horner. If Cameron had input. Because it’s creation is nothing short of movie-thematic genius. 

This unique piece combines both emotional plot lines, by combining both thematic melodies, which were played during Rose’s highest script peaks. 

As this music begins, the audience receives a striking image of Rose that mirrors one much earlier in the film. Both shots equally represent Rose choosing to make it count by choosing a life of freedom and authenticity. The endowment of her promise to herself and to Jack is complete, visually, and musically.

The song and film take us to the wreck where we find the grand staircase as it was in 1912. A gleaming Jack welcomes a beaming Rose to an eternal embrace that is lauded in an impervious, and transcendent ship. This embrace parallels her choice earlier in the film to choose Jack, to be with Jack, even when it meant her own fate would be uncertain. Even in the face of death. 

So it is only fitting the film and score tie these visual and melodic moments together. 

Rose’s proclamation of her love for Jack solidified at the grand staircase symbolizes her commitment to continuously choose life and to continuously choose love. 

And if that doesn’t make you love this score more, I don’t know what will.

“My work is timeless because it’s based on the beauty of the human body and the fascinating world we live in,” said Thierry Mugler.

Never one to shy away from daring endeavors, Mugler staged photoshoots in some of the world’s most breathtaking settings including: icebergs in Greenland, the White Sand of New Mexico, and the Tlalpan Chapel in Mexico City to name a few. 

Here, Claude Heidemeyer poses on the edge of the Chrysler Building for an aptly-named photograph, “Vertigo,” in 1988. Mugler’s keen eye as a director resulted in photographs and campaigns that helped to convey his exhilarating point of view.

EDIT:

(For anyone wondering this was when I binged watched s1/s2 of dts in a day after seeing a few clips of the twitch quartet. I'd do the notes so I could remember who they were, because I suck at names, I even created a special nickname for each driver lol)

This is important and as such I shall reblog. Despite my borderline null follower count, it shall be noted that I did my part in preserving this piece of important literature.

It's so hard to deal with a failure when the only time you felt your parents loved you and they were proud of you, it was when you were academic successfully.

“studio ghibli romances be like “what if we didn’t kiss, but instead both spiritually matured as people because we met each other.”

“I’ve become skeptical of the unwritten rule that just because a boy and a girl appear in the same feature, a romance must insue. Rather, I want to portray a slightly different relationship, one where the two mentally inspire eachother to live-if I am able to, then perhaps I’ll be closer to portraying a true expression of love.” -hayao miyazaki

I am sorry. I’m bashing Apple here. And for good reason.

This is a plea to my followers.

Stop buying Apple products. I know you’ve used them for most of your life, and I know it’s inconvenient to move to a new brand because in most cases, you cannot take your contacts with you on various chat apps.

I know this is inconvenient. I truly do.

But Apple is not the company it was before. There is now no difference between an Apple computer and a Windows computer in terms of graphic design. I know this for a fact. I had to use both in college 20 years ago, and non-apple computers are now generally better for design work than Apple computers.

Most non-apple companies encourage self-repair of your own devices, while Apple refuses it. I also know this for a fact, as I watched Apple computers become slowly less reparable through the late 90s and early 2000s. Where I was once able to do the repairs on our office computers, we had to start sending out our Apple devices because they started gluing things down on their logic boards. Notably the glue they used was not heat-resistant and led to device damage should the heat sink system fail. But they did this because they wanted to dig more money out of their customers.

Apple software is also designed to fail. I cannot believe people are still buying new devices after the scandal where Apple was slowing their phones in order to force people to purchase new versions.

Apple hardware is designed to become obsolete. Motherboards and logic boards are designed to hold exactly what comes attached to them and will fail if upgrade attempts are made.

Apple refuses to work with software developers despite promises of cross-compatibility. One of the very first coding problems I discovered was to discover a gigantic hole in a software program that made a plotter (giant printer) compatible with iOS. This caused a memory leak, leading to necessary resets of the computer after every 2 feet of printing.

I know that it’s not possible for most of you to just throw your devices away and buy a new one. I wouldn’t be able to do that, either. But eventually there will come a time when you have to upgrade, and I encourage you to take the plunge and purchase a non-apple device. I don’t even have a recommendation for you because literally anything is better than Apple. A rock that you write on is better than an Apple phone.

Unfortunately I expect to be shadow-banned on Apple devices because of this, and I’ll try to report on decreased activity as much as I can.

It’s time to stop trying to beg Apple to change. They won’t. It’s time now to just stop supporting Apple.

All my teenage years, I had bottled up anger and grief and promised myself I'd never cry but when I sat down with her hands in my hand and looked her in the eye, all the anger turned into tears. I sobbed for hours and she sat there, rubbing my back. That's when I saw. Growing up is also tearing down walls, it's also letting go of the anger.

-Ritika Jyala, excerpt from The Flesh I Burned

[whoooooisthis]

the feminine urge to mourn lost cultures and empires. for your heart to ache every time you remember how many languages no longer have speakers, how many ruins are abandoned, how many people lived happy lives before you. to feel melancholy and longing every time you study history - of this world or another, even fictional. to want to play a role in history, but in the same time fear dying, passing, being forgotten like those thousands before you.

It's also sometimes a masculine urge
