"I wanna be...a part of the people that make meaning, not the thing that's made. I want to do the imagining, I don't want to be the idea.

Does that make sense?"

BARBIE (dir. Greta Gerwig, wr. Greta Gerwig & Noah Baumbach)

I have been watching The Batman lately and I just had a silly thought about that Dick, Barbara and Morgan interacting as a team with Bruce

Just a bunch of weird and silly kids trying their best, every time Babs and Dick bicker, Morgan starts to panic

Daliland

Daliland    [trailer]

In 1973, a young gallery assistant goes on a wild adventure behind the scenes as he helps the aging genius Salvador Dali prepare for a big show in New York.

At the beginning the tone took me a bit by surprise. The setting and the characters felt like a parody and hard to take seriously. Especially Dali seemed like a caricature, talking of himself in the third person. But apparently that's really how it was at that time.

After a while you realise this is much more sincere and tragic. Dali and Gala, a world-renowned artist and his lifelong partner in a complicated relationship, worrying about aging and becoming less relevant.

Quite the illustrious set of characters in his entourage. I knew about Amanda Lear, but not for example Alice Cooper.

It felt like Rupert Graves' Captain Moore was strongly inspired by John Cleese.

Trapped (1949) is a film noir made by one of the greatest noir directors - Richard Fleischer (the son of Max) - and starring Lloyd Bridges and troubled Barbara Payton.

A car chase in the film noir Trapped (1949) speeds northbound, uphill along Ivar Avenue, and then turns west at the top corner where the Alto Nido Apartments still sits to this day. 

The Alto Nido is famously featured in a crane shot in Billy Wilder’s Sunset Blvd (1950). The shot of Ivar Avenue fluidly transitions through the blowing curtains of a window where we see William Holden working at his typewriter.

As the car chase in Trapped (1949) turns west at the top of the steep hill, a vantage point with several old apartment buildings emerge, all of which still stand and look the same today.

However, there is no longer a road like this beside the Alto Nido to turn west onto. 

Where the old road once was, there is now a bench, a lookout spot, and a steep sidewalk that takes only pedestrians down to a now-flat Franklin Avenue. 

When this film was made Franklin Avenue was a steep hill that led to the Riviera Apts.

The Hollywood Freeway eclipsed the steep version of Franklin Avenue in 1953, taking the Riviera Apts and its old school sign with it. 

The street now has a very busy freeway overpass crossing above it.

The vantage point from the Riviera Apts as seen in Trapped (1949) is interesting.

The shot is facing east, uphill, and at the top right corner you can see an old house that looks like a castle. The castle-house remains today, but it is pressed very tightly against the Hollywood Freeway offramp.

The Riviera Apts sign is long gone, but it has a vintage relative that survives at the Kingsley House apartment building on West 9th.

also to suggest we have no way to conceive of mothers who "violently discipline [black] boys into masculinity" is also absurd when the Black Abusive Matriarch is quite a popular caricature in our society. she is a bona fide trope in both black and white media (for black media, some of the most notable are the brothers [2001] dir. gary hardwick, precious [2009] dir. lee daniels, and most famously, moonlight [2016] dir. barry jenkins). honestly the term "abusive" is redundant, as the Black Matriarch is an overwhelmingly negative trope, inherently characterized as overbearing, cruel, hypersexual, unmarried, and unbecoming due to her masculinized behavior. the Black Matriarch is largely, directly and indirectly, blamed for all of society's ills and the incompetency and maladaptation of black men. she was the star of the moynihan report. she loomed large during the welfare reform debates of the 90s. and even during the welfare debates of the 80s.

like I know annie teriba is british, but she was referencing bell hooks' in her tweets on that subject. there is no way she as a scholar of the diaspora is unfamiliar with the cultural baggage around the black mother as an archetype and societal construction. and fwiw, the Black Matriarch also looms large in british media. in small axe: the mangrove (2020) dir. steve mcqueen (see: barbara), small axe: education (2020) dir. steve mcqueen (see: kingsley's mother, though she's more sympathetic), bullet boy (2004) dir. saul dibb, gone too far (2014) dir. destiny ekaragha. it's also worth noting that similar tropes exist for asian and hispanic women, in both american and british society (regarding british asian women). see also: everything everywhere all at once (2022) dir. daniel kwan and daniel scheinert, real women have curves (2002) dir. patricia cordoso, bend it like beckham (2002) dir. gurinder chadha, crazy rich asians (2018) dir. jon m. chu, fresh off the boat (2015 - 2022), little english (2023) dir. pravesh kumar, and countless others

#now in many of those examples the mothers domineer over their daughters #but the trope is the same #again the arguably most reviled figure in our culture is the single mother of a young man #even more than single mothers of girls

Happiness is a Full Bookshelf 😊📚

My goal is to collect every Penguin Classic that has a black spine and cover, white title, and orange author name because they’re sooo aesthetically pleasing to me. My fun challenge of collecting/amassing them is by finding them exclusively through secondhand purchases (resale shops, ebay, garage sales, used bookstores, etc.) Then I only have to shell out $0-$7 each instead of $10-$30 each!
