i just remembered that walt whitman was probably gay or bisexual and i feel like this is a huge concept that should be recognized more in the dps fandom cause he’s arguably the main poet of the film and neil calls todd walt whitman!! is this not gay subtext?

yeah. yeah i think it is.

that Brian Eno quote about how whatever you find most repulsive about a medium (film grain, record scratches/fuzz, CDs skipping) will be the first thing you try and emulate once that medium is obsolete because it's "the sign of a moment too powerful for the medium assigned to contain it".... man.......

[funkylilpunk]

“Whatever you now find weird, ugly, uncomfortable and nasty about a new medium will surely become its signature. CD distortion, the jitteriness of digital video, the crap sound of 8-bit - all of these will be cherished and emulated as soon as they can be avoided. It’s the sound of failure: so much modern art is the sound of things going out of control, of a medium pushing to its limits and breaking apart. The distorted guitar sound is the sound of something too loud for the medium supposed to carry it. The blues singer with the cracked voice is the sound of an emotional cry too powerful for the throat that releases it. The excitement of grainy film, of bleached-out black and white, is the excitement of witnessing events too momentous for the medium assigned to record them.” -Brian Eno

John Romer explains how ancient olive presses worked. I hope this is useful and informative to someone. Olive oil was extremely important in the Roman world. 

[she-is-amused]

In case anyone needed a rough idea of how cold pressed olive oil was made thousands of years ago.
