Has anyone written a queer romantasy retelling/homage of a classic piece of literature yet? You could advertise it on tumblr with a pull quote that remixes the most quotable line from the original work into something unbearably dumb. I don’t know why no one’s tried this, seems like free money.

Maddy Inez (b 1993) is an artist living and working in Los Angeles. She works primarily in clay, creating hand-built ceramic sculptures that draw from domestic objects, furniture forms and architectural fragments. Her work often reinterprets functional vessels, pedestals, and ornamental structures, translating them into sculptural forms that emphasise weight, texture, and surface treatment.

Using glazing, carving, and layered construction, Leeser highlights the tactile qualities of clay while referencing historical decorative arts and interior design.

TIL that back in the day if you wanted to rent a Cassavetes film before they were widely accessible you had to ring John Cassavetes' house and he'd be like "huh? oh yeah sure come over" and you'd go over and his wife (THE!!! GENA ROWLANDS!!!) would answer the door and be like "oh you're here for John? okay one sec. JOHN!!!!!!!!" and then John Cassavetes would amble out in a bathrobe and take you into his garage where instead of a parked car there were racks and racks of film and he would rent one to you for a weekend for $50

[romanimp]

i'm assuming that if you didn't return the film then Gena Rowlands would show up at your house dressed like Gloria Swenson and pull a gun on you

[romanimp]

all joking aside, it's easy to forget how tenuous film is as a medium. approximately 80% of all silent film is lost and approximately 50% of all film before 1950 is lost.

we can delude ourselves into thinking this would never happen with household names like Cassavetes and Rowlands but the truth is that largely they were making art for art's sake. The fact that Gena Rowlands was nominated for an academy award twice was the exception not the rule. She and her husband were mortgaging their house to make A Woman Under the Influence (1974). They were getting money from friends like Peter Falk and barely managing to scrape together $1M to produce it. The crew was mainly students from AFI. Nobody would agree to distribute the film, so Cassavetes had to personally ring up theatres and visit art houses carrying film under his arm and begging them to play it. You basically could not see this movie in theatres unless you went to a film festival in 1974 or unless you were living in Paris in the early 90s. Maybe these days you're lucky enough to live in a big city where they might play it for one night every 5 years. And this is THE Cassavetes/Rowlands film.

so of course if you're John Cassavetes and someone rings up your house and asks if you still have a copy of Opening Night (1977) and can they please borrow it to show to some film students, you're going to say "Yes."

It feels cool to be "in" on celebrity gossip before anyone else. I ran into Californian Condor V9 and looked her up on the condor lookup website. It says her current mate is dead and she has no kids but I saw her with a new man AND a juvenile.

[kidzbopdeathgrips]

it's really funny how the entire world basically just blew the fuck up six short years ago and nobody wants to admit that that may have had some lasting consequences lmao

[kidzbopdeathgrips]

like so much of Everything today is premised on the idea that the earth-shattering catastrophe which happened within living memory of everyone older than a third grader has had no meaningful material or psychological effects on the general public and i don't think that's good, lol.

"(some of) the top-line economic indicators (sorta) recovered (in most places) so everything is fine and we don't need to talk about it" is not a sustainable framework for interfacing with reality
