Pure Film Creative

Purefilmcreative.com is a group site with an eclectic range of interests, leaning heavily towards entertainment and fashion. But don't let that fool you into thinking we're anything like the usual fluffer-nutter gossip-and-opinion ezine; we really do work in entertainment and fashion—our views are from the trenches, not the couch. That said, we do like to have a laugh while we disembowel crapmeisters, charlatans and nefarious politicians. Clicking on an image in this Tumblr (except for reblogs) will take you to the right story at PFC, just like magic. Enjoy!

"Penny Dreadful is engaging on the three necessary levels: visceral, visual, intellectual. With the dexterity of a spider, Logan spins a delicate, intricate web of literary and cultural homages and references, of believable and original character motivations, of galloping plot and surprising twists. One moment we bump into Edgar Allan Poe, then lie down on a divan next to Oscar Wilde for an absinthe, then spy Victor Hugo walking arm in arm with Mary Shelley and Bram Stoker around that gaslight-lit corner."

"Penny Dreadful is how True Blood should be: sophisticated, waltzing camerawork; stunning and detailed production values; painterly gore; nourishing intellectualisms."

"In the entirety of its being, Penny Dreadful is the heaving, pale, corseted bosom of the swooning, consumptive harlot, that woman every Victorian feared becoming at the slightest misstep, which could so easily become a precipitous fall into living perdition."

From "Elliot Rodger and American Performativity of Masculinity":

"Feminism in this country is often confused: American women feel they have the obligation to behave with the same coarse aggressiveness as our men."

Elliot Rodger and American Performativity of Masculinity

READ: "Whenever one of these massacres occurs, I imagine James Madison, Alexander Hamilton, et al. sitting around the hall of the Mount Vernon Convention, where the Second Amendment was signed, with collective face palms, shaking their heads, coughing to hold back tears of frustration and regret over the bad they wrought in good faith. Then, just to torture them further, I move those minuet-dancing gentlemen wearing silk hose, breeches and powdered wigs to a tailgate party at any given University of California football game. And I wonder: If they knew then what we would become, how would they have amended the Constitution to protect us from who we are now?"
