Propaganda

Ann Sheridan (I Was a War Male Bride, City for Conquest, The Man Who Came to Dinner)—she was called 'the oomph girl' and i think that deserves a vote

Marlene Dietrich (Shanghai Express, Witness for the Prosecution, Morocco)—its marlene dietrich!!!! queer legend, easily the hottest person to ever wear a tuxedo, that hot hot voice, those glamorous glamorous movies.... most famously she starred in a string of movies directed by josef von sternberg throughout the 1930s, beginning with the blue angel which catapulted her to stardom in the role of the cabaret singer lola lola. known for his exquisite eye for lighting, texture, imagery, von sternberg devoted himself over the course of their collaborations to acquiring exceptional skill at photographing dietrich herself in particular, a worthy direction in which to expend effort im sure we can all agree. she collaborated with many other great directors of the era as well, including rouben mamoulian (song of songs), frank borzage (desire), ernst lubitsch (angel), fritz lang (rancho notorious), and billy wilder (witness for the prosecution). the encyclopedia britannica entry im looking at while compiling this propaganda describes her as having an “aura of sophistication and languid sexuality” which✔️💯. born marie magdalene dietrich, she combined her first and middle names to coin the moniker “marlene”. she was a trendsetter in her incorporation of trousers, suits, and menswear into her wardrobe and her androgynous allure was often remarked upon. critic kenneth tynan wrote, “She has sex, but no particular gender. She has the bearing of a man; the characters she plays love power and wear trousers. Her masculinity appeals to women and her sexuality to men.” in the 1920s she enjoyed the vibrant queer nightlife of weimar berlin, visiting gay bars and drag balls, and in hollywood her love affairs with men and women were an open secret. she was an ardent opponent of nazi germany, refusing lucrative contacts offered her to make films there, raising money with billy wilder to help jews and dissidents escape, and undertaking extensive USO tours to entertain soldiers with an act that included her a playing musical saw and doing a mindreading routine she learned from orson welles. starting in the 50s and continuing into the mid-70s she worked largely as a cabaret artist touring the world to large audiences, employing burt bacharach as her musical arranger.

This is round 1 of the tournament. All other polls in this bracket can be found here. Please reblog with further support of your beloved hot sexy vintage woman.

[additional propaganda submitted under the cut.]

"ms dietrich....ms dietrich pls.....sit on my face"

"First of all, there are those publicity photos of her in a tux. Second of all, I have never been the same since knowing that she sent copies of those photos to her Berlin lovers signed "Daddy Marlene." Not only is she hot in all circumstances, but she can do everything from earthy to ice queen. Also, she kept getting sexy romantic lead parts in Hollywood after the age of 40, which would be rare even now. She hated Nazis, loved her friends, and had a sapphic social circle in Hollywood. She also had cheekbones that could cut glass and a voice that could melt you."

"Did a bunch of humanitarian work during ww2, pretty sure a shot of her from Shanghai express was the inspiration for one of queens album covers and also her in the suit in Morocco (1930) CHANGED LIVES. I’m sure she’s already been submitted but I wanted an opportunity to submit one of my favourite pictures of her for the poll"

Bisexual icon, super hot when dressed both masculine and feminine, lived up her life in the queer Berlin scene of the 1920s, central to the 'sewing circle' of the secret sapphic actresses of Old Hollywood, refused lucrative offers by the Nazis and helped Jews and others under persecution to escape Nazi Germany, the love of my life

Her GENDER her looks her voice her everything

“In her films and record-breaking cabaret performances, Miss Dietrich artfully projected cool sophistication, self-mockery and infinite experience. Her sexuality was audacious, her wit was insolent and her manner was ageless. With a world-weary charm and a diaphanous gown showing off her celebrated legs, she was the quintessential cabaret entertainer of Weimar-era Germany.”

"The bar scene in Morocco awoke something in me and ultimately changed my gender"

"Her manner, the critic Kenneth Tynan wrote, was that of ‘a serpentine lasso whereby her voice casually winds itself around our most vulnerable fantasies.’ Her friend Maurice Chevalier said: ‘Dietrich is something that never existed before and may never exist again.’”

"Songstress, photographer, fashion icon, out bisexual phenom (notoriously stole Lupe Velez and Joan Crawford's men, and Errol Flynn's wife, had a torrid affair with Greta Garbo that ended in a 60-year feud, other notable conquests including Erich Maria Remarque -yes, the guy who wrote All Quiet on the Western Front- Douglas Fairbanks Junior, Claudette Colbert, Mercedes de Acosta, Edith Piaf), anti-Nazi activist. Marlene was a bitch - she had an open marriage for decades and one of her favorite things was making catty commentary about her current lover with her husband, and her relationship with her daughter was painful- but she was also immensely talented, a hard worker, an opponent of fascism and the hottest ice queen in Hollywood for a long time."

"She can sing! She can act! She told the Nazis to fuck off and became a US citizen out of spite! She worked with other German exiles to create a fund to help Jews and German dissidents escape (she donated an entire movie salary, about $450k, to the cause). She looks REALLY GOOD in a suit. If you're not convinced, please listen to her sing "Lili Marlene". Absolutely gorgeous woman with a gorgeous voice."

Gifset link

"Bisexual icon and Nazi-hater. Looks absolutely stunning in the suits she liked to wear. 'I dress for the image. Not for myself, not for the public, not for fashion, not for men'."

"would you not let her walk on you?"

Swordswoman Showdown Round 2 Part 2

Kikunojo (One Piece) vs Eowyn (Lord of the Rings)

(Better here in a "preferred character" sense, not "who would win in a fight")

Propaganda below cut

Kikunojo

She is a samurai and a retainer for the Kozuki Family, serving as one of the Nine Red Scabbards, a group of samurai that protect the Kozuki family and their country. She's a very skillful samurai, and she and her group managed to delay and hold off the main villain of the arc, (which was an almost insurmountable task for even the main character) and survived the experience despite her horrible injuries; She's canonically and openly trans! And she's gorgeous. And huge... She's 287 cm tall, which for the USAmericans in the audience is 9' 5". She's simply the coolest.

She’s a samurai and fights with a sword; tall trans woman <3

Legendary devoted samurai!; She's 2.87m tall, a time traveler, and not even losing an arm in the middle of the fight stopped her- she had it imediately cauterized and went back to the fight.

She's a lady samurai! Pretty and very skillful with her katana!

She is a samurai who was sent 20 years into the future to avenge the death of her lord; She’s so tall and canonically trans and I love her

She’s a badass samurai who fights for what she believes in and to help people. She is known as Kiku of lingering snow. She’s also canonically trans

She's a time traveling trans samurai, the only woman in a group of 9 legendary samurais; Her arm was chopped off by the biggest baddie so far and she continued fighting, isn't that badass?

One of the strongest samurai in her country; She's a trans icon

#kiku the greatest of all time#🐐#tall and gorgeous samurai lady#who is a trans icon#love that she is so tall that she doesn't fit in the image display#gets recognized as strong by the main character multiple times and proves it by being the most resilient badass of the entire arc#stands up to tyrants and abusers of class privilege#also helps break said main character out of the enemies prison and takes part in a rebellion against the corrupt prison staff#one piece#okiku#kiku

Eowyn

Kin to kings and heir to horse-lords, she refuses to be left behind when her people must fight; she puts herself in danger to defend her liege, defeats a great and terrible evil, and finally puts aside the sword after proving herself the equal of the very greatest challenge and recognising the horror and futility that heroic ballads elide. The most dramatic moment of her tale is all about her presence, in a moment of trial, with a sword, being a woman; “What do you fear, lady?" he asked. "A cage," she said. "To stay behind bars, until use and old age accept them, and all chance of doing great deeds is gone beyond recall or desire.”

She uses one to fight and kill the Witch King of Angmar, whom "no man can kill"; I mean, come on. She's kinda The Live Action Sword Woman. "I am no man." is an instantly iconic line and Miranda Otto is an incredible actress and played the role perfectly.

I AM NO MAN

"No man can kill me." "I am no man!" And then she put her sword in the head of the dark lord rule of black Nazguls (don't remember his name) and he dies and this is badass.

Famously stabbed an 'unkillable' evil ghost sorcerer in the face with her sword and killed him

Was told not to go sword, went and sworded anyway. Sworded big powerful bad who could not be slain by man in the face while yelling “I am no man!”; Super cool. Girlboss. After swording the aforementioned bad went and married Gondor’s softest boi.

She kills an unkillable evil and is just badass in general; Hot hot girl ;-;

Used one to kill the witch king of Angmar; She is no man✨

IN THE ANGEL'S CITY, CHASING FORTUNE AND FAME . . .

An introduction post for my main WIP right now

Title: In the Angel's City

Genre: Drama/Adult Fiction

Status: second drafting

Setting: California, 2016 / California, the late 80s and 90s

POV: First Person

Warnings: swearing, alcohol + drug abuse, suicide and death mentions, mild sexual content, and overdosing mention

Synopsis:

When screenwriter Nadia Pérez is presented with the opportunity to create a mini-series with a plot of her choosing, the recent Academy Award winner has decided she will explore the life and death of 90s icon Scott Case. With mysterious circumstances surrounding the actor's death and poor media coverage about his life, Nadia relies on one person to help her with her script: Deven Shaw, former actor, and Scott Case's best friend. The only problem? Deven Shaw retired from acting years ago and is now living by himself in god knows where. It's up to Nadia not only to find Deven but also to uncover the reason behind Scott Case's death, as well as discover the secrets of the people who once were Hollywood's biggest stars.

Tag: # wip ; in the angel's city

Pinterest Board: Here

Spotify Playlist: Here

Characters: (will add the links for their introduction posts in the future)

Nadia Pérez: (29, she/her) Screenwriter and recent Oscar winner Nadia Pérez is a cunning, smart, and focused woman, who can be enthusiastic at times, even if she lives in a city that constantly tries to push her down. Despite being talented enough to win awards, she struggles to find pride in herself. Deven Shaw: (49, he/him) Deven used to be a popular teen heartthrob during the late 80s and 90s but he disappeared from the public eye after the death of his best friend, Scott Case. When Nadia finds him, Deven has become a reclusive and grumpy middle-aged man, who has to become a mentor of sorts to Nadia against his will. Scott Case: (he/him) Scott Case died of mysterious causes in 2000. Charming and handsome Scott was notoriously famous during the 90s and it's such a striking mystery why no one remembered him until Nadia started investigating. Even though he doesn't really appear in the book, we get to meet Scott through Deven's stories and memories. Jenna Azaria: Nadia's best friend and actress who's rising to fame. Always cheerful, Jenna is glad to assist Nadia in her search for the truth. Paul Campbell: Nadia's boyfriend anda comedy actor, perhaps the only person other than Jenna that Nadia trusts. Nicole Toledo: A 90s actress whom Nadia admires and who used to be married to Deven Shaw in the past.

DO YOU HAVE A TASTE FOR TERROR?

April 5 marks the 50th anniversary of Carrie (the novel), and because it's my altime fav, my pookie, my blorbo at the beginning of my horror obsession, I want to watch one with you!

Mark that calendar for a special edition of The Basement, where the victor of the poll will be screened!

All have their highs and lows. Propaganda for each can be found under the readmore, but in case you've already made up your mind:

The results of this poll will be counted alongside one with the discord pals (no worries, you guys have the privilege of double voting) to determine the winner.

Official post shall be made when results are in!

Carrie (1976)

The first and to some the most iconic. Brian de Palma did something with this one that scared even Stephen King himself in the theatre! Sissy Spacek has a great time in the role, and the supporting cast is pretty great, too (this was John Travolta’s first big role)!

PROS

The closest to a time-period-accurate adaptation that we can get, as the events of the book take place in 1979

Sissy Spacek <3

Cool practical effects

Piper Laurie being funny and unhinged

CONS

Might feel dated on some fronts

Not the most tense until it gets to the Moment

30-year-olds playing teenagers, but what else is new

Piper Laurie being more cringe than funny

---

Carrie (2002)

TV Movie from the 2000s! Angela Bettis does this one really well, and despite the modernized setting, it holds up. Overall this sticks the closest to the book format/plot.

PROS

Book accuracy

Carrie is more be gay do crime

A WHOPPING 2 hours and 10 minutes long

KATHARINE ISABELLE IS IN THIS ONE

CONS

Tries to do VFX but is not the best at it

Ending that is drastically different and may not appeal to some

Early-2000s comedy moments

---

Carrie (2013)

Probably the one that most are familiar with or saw come by in tv trailers. In the middle of the grand age of tumblr, this one graced the silver screen. I hate to say it, but I’ll forever mourn an early draft of the screenplay that was written by the Riverdale guy

PROS

More horror moments (julianne moore carries (haha) the role of Margaret)

Gay undertones

Great VFX

CONS

Takes A Lot of lines and scenes directly from the 76 film

Started the discourse of actresses being too pretty for the role (which could also have been misogyny. Chloe moretz is cute in this one)

Has some needle drops that are artefacts of their time
