The sentiment of 'oh, i pretend that i've woken up in my past so i can enjoy life from the perspective of someone who gets to relive it' is not as effectual for me i'm more like Bender

here is what i like about the performances of each of the five main actors on riverdale. i like that kj is trying very visibly hard to act and can't quite do it because that is so archie of him. i like that camila delivers all of her lines completely earnestly and without a trace of ironic self-awareness. i like that cole either can't act or is doing an elaborate bit and it's impossible to tell either way which is so juggy of him. i like that lili plays betty like a real person and not a tv character which gets increasingly funny the more outlandish betty's life gets. and i like that madelaine delivers all of her lines as if she is being possessed by the riverdale writers to enact their strange divine vision

Patrick Swayze in the musical comedy roller disco extravaganza Skatetown U.S.A., 1979. Having roller-skated competitively in his teens as well as being a trained, highly skilled and talented dancer, Patrick did all of his own skating and stunts in the movie. Filmed mostly at the Hollywood Palladium theater on Sunset Blvd., the movie was billed as "The Rock and Roller Disco Movie of the Year" when it was released. A box office bomb and eventual camp classic, this was Swayze's first film role, later jokingly referred to as "Dirty Skating" following the massive box office success of his later movie Dirty Dancing in 1987.

Truly my greatest work was the halloween costume: The Semaphore Version of Kate Bush's Wuthering Heights

It was, naturally, a couple's costume with my husband in climbing gear and a greatcoat as: The Heath Cliff Bar

[thepostofficesketch]

I couldn't find a red shirt to match so I went with nautical blue. This is going to be my costume for the rest of my life, I think :)

Feel free to also do this idea. We can all meet up like they do to do the dance

Happy halloween here is my deep cut Monty Python pun!

Video captions below

Excerpt from Monty Python's Flying Circus, episode 15 "The Spanish Inquisition"

Video begins with voice over: Now, for the very first time on the silver screen, comes the film from two books that once shocked a generation. From Emily Bronte's Wuthering Heights and from The International Guide to Semaphore Code, Twentieth Century Vole presents: The Semaphore Version of Wuthering Heights!

The rest of the vido has no dialog, only dramatic string music and occasional audience laughter.

Updated copy of the ID from the cut in the previous post with additional description of the action:

Excerpt from Monty Python's Flying Circus, episode 15 "The Spanish Inquisition"

Video begins with an animated portion depicting two books leaning against each other, one open. A hand comes in from left and opens the leftmost book.

Voice over: Now, for the very first time on the silver screen, comes the film from two books that once shocked a generation. From Emily Brönte's Wuthering Heights and from The International Guide to Semaphore Code, Twentieth Century Vole presents: The Semaphore Version of Wuthering Heights!

The title appears in script.

The rest of the vido has no dialog, only accompanying captions, dramatic string music and occasional audience laughter.

Terry Jones as Heathcliff and Carol Cleveland as Cathy appear in closeup. The camera pulls back to reveal they actually stand very far apart on a rocky outcrop. Heathcliff pulls out two semaphore flags and waves them. Captions read: Oh! Catherine!

Cathy replies with her own: Oh! Heathcliff!

A camera angle from below the outcrop shows the two small figures. We return to the lovers as they flag: Oh! Oh! Catherine/Heathcliff (respecively)

Edgar (Eric Idle) calls to his wife from the yard of their home. Cathy looks, hand shading her eyes, and flags: Hark! I hear my husband.

He calls again, louder, signified by waving larger flags.

Cut to a cradle with tiny flags waving: Waahh!

The nurse shushes the baby, holding her flags out to the side before returning them to a crossed position before her; an old man sleeping in a chair waves his flags side to side, snoring.

Cathy comes to her husband in the yard. Edgar (still using the comically large flags): You've been seeing Heathcliff.

Cathy, pacing and waving her flags in agitation: Yes! Yes! I've been seeing Heathcliff, and why not? He's the only man I've ever loved. He's fine. He's strong. He's all the thing you'll never be, and what's more...

Video ends.

Since Kate Bush and Emily Brontë have the same birthday, shouldn’t July 30th just be Wuthering Heights day?

"It's a fairytale, but it's not really just a fairytale. It's a fairytale for adults. There's a satirical edge to it. But what runs through the core of the story of The Princess Bride is true love, which is a fairytale notion, but I believe that at the core of any good relationship between a man and a woman is true love, even in living in a complex society of the 80s where relationships are not easy and they're not simple. If a relationship is going to work and have any kind of longevity, there has to be some core of real, true love there, and I believe those things." — Director Rob Reiner talking about "The Princess Bride" in an interview with CBC in 1987.

happy pride month my friends <3

those were the days... Picture the scene: Monty Python's Flying Circus ran from 1969 to 1974. Nothing, I mean nothing, had been seen like this before on TV. To really appreciate their courage and brilliance you need to know something about these days when gay marriage was not even on the horizon and most people would lose their employment if they were outed at work. The first Pride Parade was in 1970 and it was only in 1973 that the American Psychiatric Association in their generosity declared that homosexuality was not a mental disorder. Being LGBTQ+ was gradually decriminalized in various parts of the UK and a bit later in the US starting slowly in the late '60's.

Meanwhile, Monty Python was winning over hearts and minds through the funny bone. Groundbreaking.

I think Graham Chapman, the 4th man to join the scene, being gay and being a member of Monty Python is worth noting. He had a partner, David Sherlock, and was publicly open with his homosexuality as early as 1972. I just think it makes a difference in how Monty Python treated queerness in sketches when one of their members, their good friends and collaborators, is himself gay.
