pump up the volume (1990)

director: allan moyle

costume designer: michael abbot

production design: robb wilson king

set dec: tina treglia (peterson)

cinematographer: walt lloyd

BEING WEIRD ISN'T ENOUGH not sure why i like this pin, but i like it.

this film takes place on the cusp between the 80s and the 90s, but i loved that these kids drove these 60s/70s(?) cars, i think to signify that they were low income and couldn't afford modern cars? but i love the atmosphere in this shot.

not the greatest screencap, but i adored everything janie (lala sloatman) wore. the cat-eye glasses, the oversized pink pearl earrings, the ponytail scarf. even though i related to nora's artsy side, i wanted to be janie.

mark (christian slater) is like two different people. at home, he wears cool retro bowling shirts embroidered with the name "dick" and sasses his parents, but at school he wears bland clothing (like he wants to blend into the background) and acts all shy.

i also just really loved mimi kennedy as mark's mom, marla, using a teacup to ash her cigarette into, i just thought it was so posh!

again, loving janie's dangly statement earrings, and the colour combo with her floral bolero (?) and sweet pink dress. i didn't love nora's (samantha mathis) outfit as much, but i was intrigued by the piece she wears over her dress. it ties at the back of her neck, and i think again on her lower back, so it's like a... halter vest? the turtle necklace is pretty dope, and though you can't see it in this shot, she is also wearing purple and white striped tights.

paige's (cheryl pollak) bedroom is a dream! the floral wallpaper and the white bed are so lovely, but the seafoam green radio really makes the colour scheme pop.

man i wish i had a teacher this cool! ellen greene as jan emerson (do they call her miss emerson in the movie? i can't remember), wears the coolest outfits, and she is introduced in this amazing mustard suit accessorized with a turquoise bolo tie! the look is amazing, but it also alerts us that this film takes place in arizona.

paige, doing her WASP thing in an oversized sweater over a blouse, with a string of pearls. it's the necklace that does it for me.

i mostly just wanted to see how many celebrities i could identify in this shot: keanu reeves, johnny depp, george michael, kirk cameron, corey haim, richard grieco... (stole this image from imdb as it was much clearer than my screenshot)

i forgot that plaid wallpaper was a thing and i think it's due for a comeback. particularly loving the plaid (shirt) on plaid (wallpaper) in this scene, so cozy, like a cabin!

so many things to love in this scene: number one, the heart curtains; number two, the kitten sweatshirt (the kittens look like they might be puffy and i can feel it in my mind); number three the "homework causes brain damage" sign on the wall--classic! number four, the clear lamp filled with gumballs? and the cow hanging from it! number five and six, the blue radio and the clear phone! i want one!

did you notice that the tissue box in the highschool staff room is the same as the tissue box in the depressed student's room? do you think it was the same box?

nora's room reminded me of my own room in highschool-- walls plastered with images, and plenty of candles. i think nora might have been one of the prototypes for the manic pixie dreamgirl.

Believe It Or Not I Care

mazz's (billy morrisette) denim and leather look is good.

an example of one of mark's drab shirts, but also nora's completely adorable velvet blouse with a peter pan collar! also, i'm learning that the next time i wear a collared shirt, i need to add a long statement necklace.

so this scene is near the end of the film, and i loved mark's shirt here. i also realized that it's more of a cooler, bolder look than he has previously worn to school, so i think it's supposed to symbolize mark coming out of his shell and revealing more of his true self at school/in public. look at me, i get things.

finally, loving this floral blouse and braided leather suspender on miss emerson. i would probably wear this.

BONUS here's a picture of drew barrymore at "an event" for pump up the volume (according to imdb), i'm assuming it's the premiere, just looking cool and badass. i need that jacket.

another bonus: this adorable promo photo of christian & samantha <3

anyways, most of these pics are my own screenshots, but you should check out higher resolution images on imdb. i couldn't find any articles about the wardrobe in this film, but i did find this 30th anniversary article that was interesting.

Ultimate Rabbit Audio Commentary on 'Pump Up The Volume'

Okay everyone, The Ultimate Rabbit is doing something new here, at least for him. I am doing my first ever audio commentary, and it is for the 1990 film, “Pump Up The Volume.” Written and directed by Allan Moyle, it stars Christian Slater as Mark Hunter, a high school student who has been uprooted from his hometown in New York and now lives with his parents in Paradise Hills, Arizona. Depressed…

JFK's Harem: Marion "Mimi" Fay (Beardsley) Alford 19 year old (virgin) White House intern seduced into 18 month affair with JFK.

Once Upon A Secret

Once Upon a Secret Part 1

JFK was a mess. Parts 2-3🤦‍♂️

Once Upon A Secret

How President Kennedy Seduced a White House Intern — Inside the Bedroom He Shared with Jackie

Mimi Alford was all of 19 when she began working in the White House press office, where she caught the eye of President John F. Kennedy By Kathy Ehrich Dow

She was a wide-eyed White House intern just four days into the job when she found herself standing alone next to the most powerful man in the world — in the most intimate room within 1600 Pennsylvania Ave.

Mimi Alford (née Beardsley) was 19 years old when she began working in the White House press office in 1962 and caught the eye of President John F. Kennedy.

While the 2016 movie Jackie shed new light on how the first lady created the myth of Camelot after JFK's assassination, much curiosity remains about their marriage and what Jackie knew about her husband's alleged marital affairs.

JFK's Harem

COURTESY MIMI ALFORD

As Alford details in her 2012 book, Once Upon a Secret, she was stunned when she received a call from Dave Powers, a close Kennedy aide known unofficially as the "First Friend" at the White House. He allegedly invited her for a swim in the White House pool. (It didn't matter that she didn't have a swimsuit; there were plenty available to choose from.)

Bewildered after diving into the pool with two other young female colleagues, Alford was nearly dumbstruck when the commander-in-chief himself walked in a short time later.

"Mind if I join you," the president said before heading into the dressing room, emerging a short time later in his swim trunks.

Bewildered after diving into the pool with two other young female colleagues, Alford was nearly dumbstruck when the commander-in-chief himself walked in a short time later.

"Mind if I join you," the president said before heading into the dressing room, emerging a short time later in his swim trunks.

President Kennedy surrounded by admirers in Santa Monica, Calif. GETTY

"He was remarkably fit — flat stomach, toned arms — for a forty-five-year-old man," Alford wrote, detailing how the two exchanged pleasantries while treading water.

Later that same day, Alford was back at her desk when Powers called again, this time wondering if she would be interested in an informal get-together "upstairs."

She accepted the invitation and was stunned to discover that "upstairs" meant the family residence — and she soon found herself sipping daiquiris with an intimate group before the president entered the room.

A short time later, Kennedy offered her a private tour of the residence, and it was when they were alone in the bedroom he shared with First Lady Jacqueline Kennedy that he made his move, according to Alford's account. "This is a very private room," he told the young Alford and slipped a hand on her shoulder.

"The next thing I knew he was standing in front of me, his face inches away," she recorded in her book. "He placed both hands on my shoulders and guided me toward the edge of the bed."

A short time later, Alford lost her virginity to the world-renowned leader, and their trysts continued for more than a year, according to her account of the matter.

"I think he did take advantage — I was so young," Alford told PEOPLE in 2012 of that first intimate encounter. "But I liked feeling special."

Although Alford faced criticism for revealing so many personal details in the book — she also wrote that JFK asked her to give Powers and later his brother Teddy Kennedy sexual favors — Alford told PEOPLE in 2012 that she had no regrets.

"I couldn't tell the story without those pieces," she said. "I know there are some difficult parts to that book. And they were difficult for me to write. … The fact is, I was vulnerable, and the president was a very powerful man."

Thoughts: 

Emily Wilde II didn't disappoint, but Mislaid in Parts Half Known did. I was really hoping we'd be immersed in a world of dinosaurs similar to Across the Green Grass Fields, but we spent such little time there.

The non-fiction reads this month really outshone the fiction reads. I especially enjoyed Betty Gilpin's All the Women in My Brain. It was weird and wonderful.

kagamine len -> leon kennedy, as in the resident evil character i shit you not

megurine luka -> lucy mcdonald, as in... again, multiple results. i don't know.

meiko -> megan hughs, as in the sister of phillip hughes (the cricketer) but misspelled

kaito -> kayden foster, as in... well, google says it's a teenager charged with homicide but i don't know if that's what they meant...

leo/need -> wish upon a starlight

ichika hoshino -> isabella hill, as in the actress (apparently)

saki tenma -> stella taylor, as in the actress (again, apparently...)

emu otori -> emily osborne, as in the film producer... or a misspelling of emily osborn, the marvel character.

nene kusanagi -> naomi keller, as in... i don't know. google won't tell me.
