Brazil and The Dream of Escape
Tumblr media
I was delighted to find in the Xtras that the machine created to be used by Furfur to use to find out how many demons Shax could requisition for storming the bookshop was inspired by the movie Brazil. This is another nod to Monty Python member Terry Gilliam, who directed this film, and who almost directed the failed GO film in the 1990's.
I love this film. Always have. Yes, I was around when it came out in 1985. I'm that old. It's always been in my top 5 favourite films. And its totally relevant to Good Omens.
Tumblr media
Brazil can be described as a dark dystopian story based on the novel 1984. It doesn't have a happy ending, but its funny, horrific, ludicrous, romantic and timelessly beautiful all at the same time. Its so iconic that when ever I see its influence in other productions its been unmistakable.
It stars Jonathan Pryce long before he was a James Bond villain or the head Sparrow in Game of Thrones, a comedic turn from Robert de Niro and a handful of other famous faces that you are bound to recognise, such Bob Hoskins, Ian Holm and Jim Broadbent.
Pryce, as Sam Lowry, lives in a world that is strictly controlled with paperwork that comes in multiple copies, where people are routinely arrested and tortured and a long running unexplained terrorist campaign sees bombs explode in the most random of places. Sam has dreams of a beautiful woman floating in the sky, and he is a sliver-armoured winged hero trying to rescue her. He eventually finds that she is real, and finds out her name through various means via his work and contacts. He tracks her down, but that is where it all starts to unravel as she is mixed up with an unfortunate case of mistaken identity.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Its easy to see the common themes and elements that run through the film with GO: the desire to run away and escape (that doesn't work,) a totalitarian authority controlling the masses, propaganda, piles of paperwork, an undercurrent of rebellion, torture and abuse, forbidden love between classes, a villain hidden in plain sight.
There is an art deco aesthetic to the film that also carries over to other films and shows it has influenced, and the busy work floor scene that stops on a dime to watch the tv show de jour while the boss isn't looking is one of the highlights of the film.
It was a reference of this that caught my eye in the Cohen Brothers modern fairy tale The Hudsucker Proxy, where they copied the busyness of the work floor for their mail room scenes, but also the art deco aesthetic. That's another film that is always in my top five films, and could go a round of comparisons with GO - its got time stoppage, an angel appearance and a near-godlike manipulator.
Tumblr media
It also appears, surprisingly, in Star Wars: The Last Jedi. The casino at Canto Bight is Brazil inspired, in the way its introduced to us, its decor and the music. I know some people hate this film because of what they did to Luke, but I love it, the whole thing is just utterly gorgeous to look at.
Tumblr media
And if you've watched any of Loki recently, since S2 of that show finished not long ago, you would also seen some influence from Brazil in the retro look.
I love the classic art deco style. my grandparents had an art deco house that I spent many of my childhood hours in. The style itself is a clean, unadorned look, and often is meant to give a look of movement, speed or strength. A classic example of this is the Bentley, of course, which comes from the height of the art deco era in the 1930's.
Tumblr media
Hell is the other place we see the Brazil influence in GO, where is looks like it's constantly several decades behind the times, with overhead projectors and manual typewriters and odd looking not-quite steampunk contraptions.
Tumblr media
Brazil is available to stream on Disney at the moment, if you'd like to take a look. I highly recommend it, its one of those influential films that once you know it, you see its long reach in the most unexpected places.

I have such a hard time choosing the best taylor swift album bc like… reputation is for the girlies who got hurt and don’t want to let anyone in and everyone sees them as a bitch but they’re really very soft and sentimental and misunderstood and then red has arguably some of the best songwriting in her entire discography like listening to it is a visceral experience and then she dropped the vault like what but then speak now was her fuck you to everyone saying you’re not good enough and she was only 19!!! and it was a fuck you wrapped up in sparkles and purple tulle and we love to see it and then there’s 1989 which was a standstill moment where she decided to 100% chop off her hair, move to the city, and fully go with her heart and you can hear it in the silence etc and then we have lover where she wrote a whole album about a love she wanted so badly to find and then it was cut short by covid only to have cruel summer as a top ranking track FOUR, i repeat FOUR years later and there’s fearless which was what arguably put her on the map and remains so iconic with banger after banger and lest we forget debut where everyone can relate to falling in love with ideas when you’re 14 and having your heart absolutely shattered and she captured it so timelessly but then we have folklore which was a total 180 from anything she’s ever done and she absolutely KILLED IT and she did it so well that she was like lol we couldn’t stop writing so here’s evermore, the sweet solstice album to close up all the ends of wondering what if and then she was like surprise bitch here’s midnights which is somehow 100% about my life like this woman is performing witchcraft and i am forever under her spell

redgentleengie asked: 🔥 for a movie ; Send me a “ 🔥 “ for an unpopular opinion.
you know one thing i've always hated? how people will say the hype and popularity of a new movie is dead or overrated because people enjoy a piece of media. i've seen that with not just movies, but videogames too. people will shit on the popularity of movies and other media for the stupidest of reasons, and not just claiming the hype of its release is why it died.
you can enjoy a movie without it trending on the internet. like, just because a movie isn't trending online doesn't mean its dead. a movie isn't dead or not good because it doesn't have your favorite basic popular actors that are in every other movie. hell, it SHOULDN'T be this way where movies are only good when they're popular. ask yourself why movies from the 70s & 80s are so iconic - it's because they're well-fucking-written. are they always mainstream media? no, but you see people talk about them and make edits of those movies or make various references to them.
tl;dr don't base your interests around trends that will only last a month. enjoy something you can love timelessly.

Todays rip [First 30 Archive] - 29/05/2023
Follow μ’s / Halation Generation
Season 2 Featured on: Rips of Christmas Past
Ripped by Cryptrik
youtube
youtube
Doing somewhat of a double feature here - the original track was uploaded at the beginning of Season 2, with Cryptrik later creating a remastered version for their own channel in late 2018 (Season 3).
Cryptrik is much like l4ureleye in that their style is very identifiable on the channel - in some ways, you can view the two as polar opposites. Wheras l4ureleye consistently provides the most soothing, dream-like tunes of meditation possible, Cryptrik is a full-on DJ, producing beats and bangers on a regular basis ever since the earliest days of Season 1. Not to say that this is all Cryptrik does - he’s seen great success in branching out to more traditional mashups, remixes, soundfont swaps, and so on - but the music he specializes in is very much his own unique brand on the channel. As consistent as the morning sun, even within the week I’m posting this, Cryptrik is there to combine the channel’s favorite jokes with insanely catchy and bop-worthy beats and EDM melodies.
There’s tons of Cryptrik tracks I could’ve chosen to exemplify this, and this one was mainly just chosen because its been sitting in my personal playlist ever since its release six years ago. But it speaks to just how timelessly quality their work is that it still slots right in with the rest of their iconic contributions to the channel.
Like l4ureleye, Cryptrik is sure to come up more in this series of posts as time goes on, so look forward to that lol.

Kaos - "Top Secret" What? Stuff Song released in 1980. Compilation released in 1990. Punk Rock / Hardcore Punk
Plays: 6.6K+ on Spotify // 8.2K+ on YouTube
Alright, so, in order to fully contextualize this gem, we're gonna have to go all the way back to 1977, because that's the year that saw the release of the Los Angeles punk scene's first ever record, The Germs' iconic and aptly titled "Forming." That little, deeply impactful 7-inch came out on a small, yet ultimately indispensable label called What? Records, which later sold its name to a Christian label and then resumed as Iloki, a Hawaiian-sounding name that didn't mean anything in the Hawaiian language itself, but instead cleverly reflected the attitude of its owner Chris Ashford—"I, low-key"—as he transitioned his business into a surf rock and surf punk outfit.
But long before the name change and soon after that Germs record were a few more seminal LA punk releases by bands that, like the Germs, had also been fixtures at Los Angeles' very first punk rock club, The Masque, too. These were The Dils' "I Hate the Rich," a split 7-inch EP by Eyes, Controllers, and The Skulls called "Don't Talk to Me" / "(The Original) Neutron Bomb" / "Victims," and another 7-inch by Controllers simply titled "Neutron Bomb."
And it's those Controllers who are really key here, because after putting out "Neutron Bomb" in '78 and then another 7-inch in '79 on the Beverly Hills-based Siamese Records called "Slow Boy," they disbanded. Frontman Johnny Stingray had been playing bass in the band for the past year, and while he didn't really mind that, he had also come into possession of a sweet, new Ibanez Les Paul guitar too, and he simply wanted to rock out on that damn thing. So in late '79 he formed a new group called Kaos, which he could lead on both vocals and guitar, and he enlisted his bassist girlfriend, Amy Wichmann, her guitarist pal, Lisa Adams, and on drums was none other than beloved San Jose garage and psych group The Chocolate Watchband's Pete Curry too?!? 😮
1980 would then see Kaos put out their only record, a three-song 7-inch on What? called Product of a Sick Mind, which contained a great second track on it called "Top Secret." And this is one that simply fulfilled Johnny Stingray's wish to be front and center in a band of his own making. Plus, it's a song that, despite turning 44 this year, has still managed to maintain every ounce of the raucous punk rock edge that it originally started with.
And there's really just something about so many of these early punk rock tunes in general, whether they be by The Stooges or MC5 in Detroit who started it all, The Sex Pistols over in the UK, or any of LA's own first wave crop, that just still, remarkably, have this timelessly cool and rebellious sound to them, and I don't think that you can really say the same for too many other genres. I mean, think about other types of music that were once also ridiculed as being infernal, demonic racket: rock & roll, jazz, hip hop; all of their first records, while they might still sound nice, are all so tame and quaint by today's standards. But a whole lot of early punk rock records have not suffered from that same level of tarnishing yet, and at this point, it doesn't really seem like they ever will.
The nice thing about punk rock, as well as its antecedent of garage rock, is that it saw rock music advancing and expanding towards uncharted levels of refined, insufferable snobbery, and it effectively then said, "nah, fuck all that, we're going back to the original spirit of this music, which is that feather-ruffling, rabble-rousing, dangerous type shit." And to its own credit, despite pretty much anyone having the ability to play in a punk band, those early days of punk rock generated some absolute gold that still more than holds up to this very day, and this little song by the ultimately fleeting Kaos, "Top Secret," which doesn't really have very many plays on either Spotify or YouTube, is just one of many.
Also on Spotify, but credited to the Controllers.
And here's a post I made about an Iloki comp that was put out in 1987 and has some really good surf stuff on it too!

The most underrated mcr song is party at the end of the world. If you asked me right now to sing it I wouldn’t know what to do. I don’t remember how she goes without hearing first.
Tumblr media
oh okay see this could be my bad or like a semantics thing bc im definitely defining "underrated" as song that should be appreciated/ranked more highly than it generally is among fans, no matter how highly it currently is. obvs that's an impossible thing to properly measure which is why there are lots of correct answers here lol. so like for example thank you for the venom and the end/dead are very loved but imo they should be up there with mama and helena in terms of Timelessly Iconic Quintessential My Chem Songs that nobody ever says a bad word about yk? and in a different way, teenagers is their most played song on spotify which i don't think it deserves, but that does mean that on here people unfairly dismiss it or ignore it a lot when it's really fucking good and musically clever song. i defs should have specified that im mostly talking about online mcr fandom and not the general public lol
the interesting thing in dedicated fandom circles is that often a disproportionate amount of attention is given to the less famous deep cuts. i definitely understand why and i do it myself too but sometimes it results in really good main album tracks getting less appreciation around here than they deserve (in fan spaces specifically) compared to bsides, bonus tracks etc. and i totally agree that a couple of my fave tracks are deep cuts but i think sometimes some of those fandom faves actually wouldn't stand out as much to us if they were just on an album dhdlhff.
anyway by that metric i would actually agree that party at the end of the world is underrated bc ur right it's literally never mentioned when it does slap. but once again definitely not a contender for the most

The 50s
The influence of music and celebrities on fashion
The 50s experienced a return to feminine styles with emphasis on hourglass silhouettes, heavily influenced by icons such as Marilyn Monroe. The decade was a period of change and innovation, and many of the iconic trends are still perceived as timelessly elegant.
Celebrities were now used as well as models to promote clothing and other items through the growing media as now more people watched movies and took inspiration through their favourite characters. Items such as fur became popular as it was a status symbol popularised by the actresses of the day which radiated luxury.
Elvis Presley also gained popularity through his music and dancing which influenced the younger generations as it became controversial with the older generations due to their conservative upbringing. From his rockabilly pompadour hairstyle to his custom-dyed boots, North American youth began to copy his style and dress.
