Madoka Kaname, 4 years old.

Madoka: mom, can we get an Xbox?

Junko Kaname: Madoka, sit right here. Now the first thing I need you to understand is that the Xbox is one hundred and ninety nine dollars and ninety nine cents.

Now mom can do this all day every day no problem. But I need you to understand it only comes with one controller. That means mom can’t play with you. Your friends can’t play with you. It’s just you.

That means I have to buy another controller at thirty four ninety five. Now mom can do this all day every day no problem. But I need you to understand it only comes with two demo games. You gonna be through with them motherfuckers tonight.

That means I have to buy four or five other games at forty five to fifty five dollars a piece. Now, mom can do this all day every day no problem.

OR I can look in the newspaper in the classifieds section and I can get you what’s known as a Nintendo 64. Now. It’s not gonna be new. So it’s gonna come with like twenty games, that other kids have already opened and played with to make sure it’s fun.

Then, you and me, we have like 300 dollars left over. Go all across the country. Go to all the ice cream trucks. Buy six nuggets, don’t eat six, eat three, throw the other three out the window cause we don’t give a fuck. We got money like that.

Madoka: twenty game? Well we should go with the Nintendo then mom!

Junko: that’s my fucking girl. Make a pimp decision.

So I was reading a post about who George Perez used as references for the New Teen Titans, and he said Joe was a combination of David Morse from "St. Elsewhere" and one of his comic book colleagues.

But in the comment section, someone was like "Oh, I always assumed Jericho was modeled after a young William Katt."

Well, I was like "who that" and Googled "young william katt" and I am still tripped out by the resemblance TO THIS VERY DAY.

LOOKIT

Jericho IS the dude who played Carrie's prom date, guys.

THIS DAY IN GAY HISTORY

based on: The White Crane Institute's 'Gay Wisdom', Gay Birthdays, Gay For Today, Famous GLBT, glbt-Gay Encylopedia, Today in Gay History, Wikipedia, and more … January 24

41 AD – Roman Emperor Caligula is assassinated at the Palatine Games by his own officers after a reign of only four years. He was noted for his madness and cruelty including arbitrary murder and arbitrary sex encounters with men, women, and animals, including forcing his officers into regular sex bouts.

Hadrian & Antinous

76 AD – The Roman Emperor, Stoic and Epicurean philosopher Publius Aelius Traianus Hadrianus or as he has come down to us, Hadrian was born in Spain. Hadrian was the third of the "Five Good Emperors". His reign had a faltering beginning, a glorious middle, and a tragic conclusion.

He is considered by many historians as the most versatile of all the Roman Emperors. He liked to display knowledge of all intellectual and artistic fields. Above all, Hadrian patronized the arts: Hadrian's Villa at Tibur (Tivoli) was the greatest Roman example of an Alexandrian garden, recreating a sacred landscape, lost in large part to the despoliation of the ruins by the Cardinal d'Este who had much of the marble removed to build Villa d'Este. In Rome, the Pantheon, originally built by Agrippa but destroyed by fire in 80, was rebuilt under Hadrian in the domed form it retains to this day. It is among the best preserved of Rome's ancient buildings and was highly influential to a many of the great architects of the Italian Renaissance and Baroque periods.

Today we recall his abiding love of Antinous, his eromenos (boy lover), who he honored so greatly in death. It was while visiting Claudiopolis that Hadrian espied the beautiful Antinous, a young boy who was destined to become the emperor's eromenos — his beloved. Sources say nothing about when Hadrian met Antinous, however, there are depictions of Antinous that shows him as a young man of twenty or so. They became inseparable companions and carried out one of the most storied love affairs of history.

Hadrian and Antinous in Egypt

In October 130 AD, while Hadrian and his entourage were sailing on the Nile, Antinous drowned, for unknown reasons. though accident, suicide, murder or religious sacrifice have all been postulated. After Antinous' death, Hadrian's grief knew no bounds, causing the most extravagant respect to be paid to his memory. Cities were founded in his name, medals struck with his effigy, and statues erected to him in all parts of the empire.

Following the example of Alexander (who sought divine honors for his lover, Hephaistion, when he died), Hadrian had Antinous proclaimed a god. Temples were built for his worship in Bithynia, Mantineia in Arcadia, and Athens, festivals celebrated in his honour and oracles delivered in his name. The city of Antinopolis or Antinoe was founded on the ruins of Besa where he died. One of Hadrian's attempts at extravagant remembrance failed, when the proposal to create a constellation of Antinous being lifted to heaven by an eagle (the constellation Aquila) failed of adoption. Legend was that his likeness was placed over the face of the Moon.

Hadrian died in 138 on the tenth day of July, in his villa at Baiae at age 62.

Frederick II & Voltaire

1712 – The Prussian King Frederick II, aka Frederick the Great, was born. (d.1786) Interested primarily in the arts during his youth, Frederick unsuccessfully attempted to flee from his authoritarian father, the "Soldier-King" Frederick William I. Young Frederick persuaded his lover, Hans von Katte, a Lieutenant in the Royal Guard, to help him flee the king's ruthless domination. They were captured and von Katte was sentenced to death. The prince was ordered to be present at von Katte's execution by sword.

For another ten years Frederick had to live under the yoke of his tyrannical father and accept his arrangements for a marriage that was probably never consummated. (Upon his father's death in 1740, Frederick immediately separated from his wife, Elizabeth Christine of Brunswick.)

Frederick was a proponent of enlightened absolutism. For years he was a correspondent of Voltaire, with whom the king had a turbulent friendship. Voltaire was later to write a book exposing Frederick's homosexuality, but it was published only in 1784, six years after its author's death. In his correspondence with Voltaire, Frederick early on evinced a great interest in what we would today call gay culture. In an astonishingly open fashion, this interest was encouraged by Voltaire.

It was not only through literature that Frederick extolled homosexuality. He collected ancient artwork, notably ancient carved gemstones picturing nude athletes and the Adoring Youth, a Hellenistic bronze that had previously belonged to another famous homosexual general, Prince Eugene of Savoy, which he placed in view of his library window. He commissioned frescoes of Ganymede for his palaces; and, in 1768, inspired by Voltaire's poem bearing that title, had a Temple of Friendship built in his garden at Potsdam, inscribed with the names of lovers and friends of antiquity, such as Orestes and Pylades and Nisus and Euryalus.

Apart from Katte, a few of Frederick's great loves are known: Fredersdorf, the handsome guard assigned to him after his escape, who eventually became his Majordomo; Count Algarotti, the seductive Italian writer; and the abbé Bastiani, a Venetian who was made Canon of Breslaw (Wroclaw) Cathedral and who did not hesitate to show his compatriot Casanova the love letters he had received from the king.

Close to him also, but showing the same tastes in a more outrageous manner, was his brother Prince Henry. Voltaire called him a Potsdamite (that is, a Sodomite), and he was reputed to recruit only homosexuals in his regiments.

The philosopher Diderot, well informed and not prone to exaggeration, wrote in March 1760 a note on Frederick in which he says: "The only one thing that this admirable flute player was missing was a mouthpiece that should have been a little cleaner." He also penned a poem entitled Parallèle between Caesar and Frederick (undated) that includes the statement: "Caesar was generous, Frederick is miserly. When I compare them I see but one point in common, namely that they were both buggers. But there wasn't a Roman lady who was worthwhile with whom Caesar did not sleep, whereas His Prussian Majesty never touched a woman, not even his own wife."

The works of Niccolò Machiavelli, such as "The Prince," were considered a guideline for the behavior of a king in Frederick's age. In 1749, Frederick finished his Anti-Machiavel — an idealistic writing in which he opposes Machiavelli. It was published anonymously in 1740, but Voltaire distributed it in Amsterdam to great popularity. Under Frederick, Immanuel Kant published religious writings in Berlin which would have been censored elsewhere in Europe.

Frederick had famous buildings constructed in his capital, Berlin, most of which still exist today, such as the Berlin State Opera, the Royal Library, St. Hedwig's Cathedral, the French and German Cathedrals on the Gendarmenmarkt, and Prince Henry's Palace (now the site of Humboldt University). However, the king preferred spending his time in his summer residence Potsdam, where he built the palace of Sanssouci, the most important work of Northern German rococo. Sanssouci, which translates from French as "carefree" or "without worry", was a refuge for Frederick, where he surrounded himself with freethinking men—no women were allowed—many of whom, such as Count Algarotti or the philosopher La Mettrie, were homosexual. Voltaire describes the utter freedom of their suppers there (for instance, discussing Plato's theory of the Androgynes) and the exact way in which Frederick would pick handsome soldiers for his sexual "schoolboy games."

Near the end of his life Frederick grew increasingly solitary. His circle of male friends at Sanssouci gradually died off without replacements, and Frederick became increasingly critical and arbitrary, to the frustration of the civil service and officer corps. The populace of Berlin always cheered the king when he returned to the city from provincial tours or military reviews, but Frederick took no pleasure from his popularity with the common folk, preferring instead the company of his pet Italian greyhounds, whom he referred to as his 'marquises de Pompadour' as a jibe at the French royal mistress. Frederick died in an armchair in his study in the palace of Sanssouci on 17 August 1786.

1746 – Gustav III was King of Sweden from 1771 until his death. (d.1792) He was the eldest son of King Adolph Frederick and Louisa Ulrika of Prussia, she a sister of Frederick the Great of Prussia. (See above)

Gustav was educated under the care of two governors who were amongst the most eminent Swedish statesmen of the day, Carl Gustaf Tessin and Carl Fredrik Scheffer; but he owed most perhaps to the poet and historian Olof von Dalin. His education was far more liberal than that of his uncle, Frederick the Great.

On the whole, Gustav cannot be said to have been well educated, but he read very widely; there was scarcely a French author of his day with whose works he was not intimately acquainted;and his enthusiasm for the new French ideas of enlightenment was sincere.

A vocal opponent of abuses by the nobility, he seized power from the government in a coup d'état in 1772, ending the Age of Liberty and venturing into a campaign to restore royal autocracy. As a bulwark of enlightened despotism, his expenditure of considerable public funds on cultural ventures contributed to his controversial rule. Attempts to seize first Norway through Russian aid, then to recapture the Baltic provinces through a war against Russia were unsuccessful, although much of Sweden's former military might was restored. An admirer of Voltaire, Gustav legalized Catholic and Jewish presence in the realm and enacted wide-ranging reforms aimed at economic liberalism, social reform and the abolishment of torture and capital punishment (although freedom of the press was curtailed).

A patron of the arts and benefactor of arts and literature, Gustav founded several academies, among them the Swedish Academy, created a National Costume and had the Royal Swedish Opera built. In 1772 he founded the Royal Order of Vasa to acknowledge and reward those Swedes who had helped to advance process in the fields of agriculture, mining and commerce.

By proxy in Christiansborg Palace, Copenhagen, on 1 October 1766 and in person in Stockholm on 4 November 1766, Gustav married Princess Sophia Magdalena, daughter of King Frederick V of Denmark. The match was not a happy one, owing partly to an incompatibility of temper; but still more to the interference of the jealous Queen Mother. The marriage produced two children: Crown Prince Gustav Adolf , and Prince Carl Gustav, Duke of Småland. For the consummation of the marriage, the king requested the assistance of Adolf Munck, reportedly because of anatomical problems both spouses possessed. Gustav's mother supported rumors that he was not the father of his first son and heir. It was rumored at the time that Gustav indulged in homosexuality. The close personal relationships he formed with two of his courtiers, Count Axel von Fersen and Baron Gustav Armfelt, were alluded to in that regard. His sister-in-law implied as much in a diary.

Gustav was assassinated at a masked ball by a conspiracy of noblemen claiming only to commit tyrannicide, although later research has revealed more personal motives.

1928 – Heterosexual actor Michel Serrault (d.2007) was a French stage actor and film star who appeared from 1954 until (and including) 2007 in more than 150 films. He was best known for his role as Zaza in La cage aux folles.

Although he wanted to be a circus clown, Serrault's parents sent him to a seminary to study for the priesthood. He spent only a few months there before taking-up acting. His first professional job was in a touring production in Germany of Molière's Les Fourberies de Scapin. After military service in Dijon, he returned to Paris and joined Robert Dhéry's burlesque troupe and appeared in their second hit show, Dugudu.

In 1948, he began his career in the theatre with Robert Dhéry in Les Branquignols. His first film was Ah! Les belles bacchantes, starring Robert Dhéry, Colette Brosset (Dhéry's then-wife), and Louis de Funès in 1954. Serrault played in the 1955 suspense thriller Les diaboliques, starring Simone Signoret and directed by Henri-Georges Clouzot.

He met and worked with Jean Poiret in the early 1950s, which led to a song and comedy cabaret act and their playing together in 18 films from 1956 to 1984, and in a number of plays written by Poiret. The films they worked together in included Cette sacrée gamine (1956), with Brigitte Bardot, and Sacha Guitry's last film, Assassins et voleurs (1957).

From February 1973 through 1978, he portrayed the role of Albin/Zaza opposite Jean Poiret in the play La cage aux folles, written by Poiret. He recreated the role for the film version of the play, which was released in 1978. Serrault died from relapsing polychondritis at his home in Équemauville on 29 July 2007 at age 79.

1944 – German performance artist and counter-tenor Klaus Nomi was born in Immenstadt, Germany (d.1983). Nomi is remembered for bizarrely theatrical live performances, heavy make-up, unusual costumes, and a highly stylized signature hairdo which flaunted a receding hairline. His songs were equally unusual, ranging from synthesizer-laden interpretations of classic opera to covers of 1960s pop standards like Chubby Checker's "The Twist" and Lou Christie's "Lightnin' Strikes."

Born Klaus Sperber in Immenstadt, Germany, in Nomi's youth in the 1960s, he worked as an usher at the Deutsche Opera in West Berlin where he would sing on stage in front of the fire curtain after the shows for the other ushers and maintenance crew. Around that time he also sang operatic arias at a Berlin Gay club called Kleist Casino. Nomi moved from Germany to New York City in the mid-1970s. He began his involvement with the art scene based in the East Village. Nomi died on August 6, 1983 in New York City, one of the first celebrities to die of an illness complicated by AIDS. His ashes were scattered over New York City.

1951 – Michael Cohen (d.1997) was an American singer-songwriter from New York City. He released three albums in the 1970s which were among the first to deal with explicitly gay themes.

Cohen was licensed as a cab driver in New York City in 1972.

Cohen self-released his first album, eponymously titled Mike Cohen, in 1972. This was followed by two albums on Folkways Records, "What Did You Expect: Songs about the Experiences of Being Gay" (1973) and "Some of Us Had to Live" (1976). The latter two are available from Smithsonian Folkways.

Cohen was influenced by James Taylor and Leonard Cohen (no relation) and his music is very much in the folk rock style.

"What Did You Expect: Songs about the Experiences of Being Gay" consisted of nine songs that recounted Cohen's coming-out experience, ballads about his lover and a cover of a song by Leonard Cohen (no relation).

"The Last Angry Young Man", which opens What did You Expect?, deals with the misconceptions around homosexuality of the older generation while "Gone", from the same album, deals sensitively with the death of a gay friend. Frieze Magazine describes Cohen's "Bitterfeast" from the same album as a "raw and chokingly emotional" ballad based on a poem by Leonard Cohen.

After releasing a third album on a small label, Cohen "dropped off the radar" until his death in 1997.

You can read some of his lyrics in his own hand here: Queer Music Heritage

1983 – Frank James Michael Grande Marchione , usually credited as Frankie Grande, is an American musical theatre actor, producer and YouTube personality.

Grande was born in New York City. He grew up in Englewood, New Jersey and moved with his mother to Boca Raton, Florida, at age 10. His half-sister is singer and actress Ariana Grande. He graduated from Muhlenberg College in Pennsylvania in 2005, having triple-majored in biology, theatre and dance. Grande is openly gay.

He began his acting career in 2007, appearing as Boots the Monkey in a national tour of Dora the Explorer Live! (Dora's Pirate Adventure) and in regional theatre productions including the title role in George M!, Mike Costa in A Chorus Line and Lewis in Pippin, among others. Later in 2007, he joined the Broadway cast of the musical Mamma Mia!, in the ensemble and as understudy for Eddie, in which he performed for three years. Grande was named "Mr. Broadway" in the "Mr. Broadway 2007" charity benefit. He co-founded the non-profit arts organization "Broadway in South Africa", travelling to South Africa to work with disadvantaged youth for seven years, before it merged with buildOn. Grande also helped buildOn to build a school in a rural village in Malawi, and in 2014 buildOn honored him for his efforts with its Global Impact Award.

Grande has produced shows on and off Broadway, including Broadway productions of Hamlet (2009) starring Jude Law, La Bête (2010–11) starring David Hyde Pierce, and Born Yesterday (2011) starring Jim Belushi. He also produced Brooke Shields' one-woman cabaret show in 2011. Grande has performed in cabaret acts in New York City, including at Birdland Jazz Club and 54 Below.

In 2012, Grande established a YouTube channel and has also been building a following on Twitter and Instagram. Earlier in 2014, he was a contestant on the reality television series Big Brother 16. His philanthropic work includes co-founding the non-profit arts organization "Broadway in South Africa" and work for buildOn.

Ciao! Volevo chiederti se avessi dei consigli per libri su Friederich in italiano (o in inglese) & dove comprarli. Io sono riuscitx a trovare solo quello di Alessandro Barbero. Adoro i tuoi disegni e il tuo blog! (trovo molto ironico il fatto che io abbia dovuto riscrivere questo messaggio perché Fritz (il mio gatto) si è fatto una camminata sulla tastiera)

la gioia di scrivere i post in italiano finalmente 🧎🏻‍♂️ CIAO

allora, anzitutto grazie dei complimenti,, 😭 ho dei libri in italiano (e inglese), però ti devo avvertire che sono molto pochi e non si trovano tanti romanzi, la maggior parte sono (tristemente ma comprensibilmente) in tedesco, ma ti faccio comunque una lista partendo da quelli c:

re in prussia di rafael sabatini – conta che non lo trovi in libreria, devi comprarlo usato oppure affidarti a questo link se riesci a leggere le cose online senza problemi (io non riesco e l'ho trovato usato), è sia in italiano che in inglese, ma è pure del '44 (o '47? non ricordo) quindi il linguaggio è quello che è... in italiano è un po' tedioso, fritz è un queer disney villain e il protagonista è un oc di sabatini antipatico come pochi, però... if you squint hard enough...

federico il grande di william f. reddaway, è una biografia, io ho letto solo i pezzi che mi interessano per il progetto e ti posso dire tranquillamente che ci sono delle imprecisioni storiche perché è un libro del suo tempo... ma ci sono le figure!! e ha una copertina figa. pure questo lo trovi usato, sia in italiano che in inglese

stesso titolo, ma di nancy mitford – biografia, la trovi usata, sia italiano che inglese, è divertente da leggere ma non ci sono le fonti </3 quindi è un po' tutto un "source: trust me bro". sempre suoi, "voltaire innamorato" e "madame du pompadour", il primo in italiano, il secondo in inglese, sempre usati

the sorrows of frederick di romulus linney – è un copione di uno spettacolo, PIENO di imprecisioni storiche, solo in inglese (e usato, che te lo dico a fare) keith non esiste, katte è solo "hans katte" e appare per tipo 2 scene per poi morire tragicamente, però è divertente da leggere e se avessi un euro per ogni volta che le emorroidi vengono menzionate in questo libro avrei due euro, che non è molto, ma è strano che sia successo due volte

bad gays di huw lemmey e ben miller ha un capitolo che lo riguarda, esiste in italiano (non usato!!) e ci sono delle illustrazioni bellissime, ma ti dirò... a una certa mi ha sorpreso con un f slur e ho detto "HUH??" e ci sono delle parti che mi hanno un po' confuso storicamente parlando, però carino... pure se inizia con un pezzo di "la jouissance"... bleurgh

la musica del re di gabriele formenti, te lo metto solo per correttezza perché è nella mia libreria ma me ne vergogno. è orrendo. terrificante. mi ha distrutto psicologicamente così tanto che mi sono fermatx a pagina 42 e ho detto BASTA non ne posso più man che cos'è questa merda... a un certo punto ti colpisce con un "[inserire nome di un personaggio femminile] si adattava benissimo alla corte di potsdam" girl who tf 😭 no she didn't 😭

e basta, finché ricordo questi sono quelli che ho a parte quello di barbero! abbi pazienza ma ti sto rispondendo mentre sto in stazione quindi non li ho tutti sottomano per controllare </3 ce ne sono altri in tedesco che sono belle letture, se mi viene in mente qualcos'altro ti faccio un fischio!

#answers #sono talmente disabituatx a rispondere in italiano qui che scrivere questo post è stata un'impresa #ma mi ha fatto piacerissimo 😭

[kattestrophe]

I demand to see the Katte board on your shelf :D

Sure :'D

It ain't much, but it's mine. Just moved them from the board, actually, that one was facing a window and I don't want these to get damaged by the light.

From left to right there is:

An entirely unrelated glass dome from IKEA with an old silver cup I got from my grandma and two Friech related coins, one D-Mark, one Euro (the dome is the most expensive part of this setup)

Burte's terrible, hilarious Katte play (funny music)

"King in Prussia", the one where nobody understands his connection to the Crown Prince 🥺

"Das Richtschwert traf den falschen Hals", aka "I love you so much, my Prince. Jk."

Zeithain. Oh Zeithain.

Actual acclaimed German author Theodor Fontane's "Wanderungen durch die Mark Brandenburg - Havelland", featuring his fictional one shot about baby Katte spending quality time with his dad. I want to get a copy of Oderland eventually (for the Küstrin chapter), preferably also this pretty edition (which only cost me a euro more than the ugly modern one)

Ahnert's "Friedrich und Katte", the one where Katte has A Terrible Beard

A short amateur biography about Katte's father that I got in Wust. Hans Heinrich is quite the personality and I'd love to find out more about him too.

A collection of letters by European monarchs concerning the trial of 1730

A brochure I got in Wust that includes info about the church and the Kattes ("Hans Hermann's first ever letter was to his Engelsschwesterken", I NEED THAT SOURCE, also look at that k, we can see how he pronounced stuff!! 🥺) as well as some letters

Hinrichs' "Kronprinzenprozess", primary sources printed in a particularly exhausting to read Fraktur

Kloosterhuis' "Katte. Ordre und Kriegsartikel", second edition with added list of Ingersleben's 50 teacups

"Schädel-Schicksale" which includes some details about Katte's (?) remains in Wust

"Kriegsgericht in Köpenick", another one of Kloosterhuis', wonderful exhibition catalogue that left me with many new questions (he built a cabinet???)

And a collection of the letters between FWI and Müller the priest that I also got from the nice people in Wust.

Oh. And a bust of Frederick William III. My friend 3d printed it as a surprise for my birthday; Friech wasn't available as a 3d model :'D

I bought all of these except Ordre und Kriegsartikel and the brochures used for a few bucks ^^ Richtschwert cost me a whopping 35 cents with two euros shipping :'D

There are a few more things that I'd like to add. Like "Sorrows of Frederick" (fridged wife Katte, my beloved), but the only copies I can find are in the US and only available if I pay by credit card - which I don't have :(

The rallying cry from the Grue Crew is, “Chad is back!” For his return episode, the crew picks an 80s movie that surely everyone has seen. Well, everyone but Jeff. The film is HOUSE, released in 1985… or is it 1986? Covered seven years ago by Doc Rotten, Christopher G. Moore, and Thomas Mariani in episode 105, the current crew decided to revisit this comedy-horror feature. Starring some 80s TV icons – William Katt (The Greatest American Hero, 1981-1983), George Wendt (Cheers, 1982-1993), Richard Moll (Night Court, 1984-1992) – the cast, crew, and effects give them plenty to talk about and there’s plenty of taglines for Chad’s return. Welcome back, brother!

At the time of this writing, House is available to stream from Tubi, PlutoTV, and Amazon Prime, as well as multiple PPV sources, and on physical media as a Blu-ray from Arrow Video.

Every two weeks, Gruesome Magazine’s Decades of Horror 1980s podcast will cover another horror film from the 1980s. The next episode’s film chosen by Chad, will be Spookies (1985), a film whose making-of story might be more interesting than the movie itself.

Check out this episode!

Current Hyperfixations (cause idc if y’all care, imma tell you anyways):

DC — specifically the Batfam, I’m currently going through a reading list — I’m in the middle of Batman Hush, watched the movie and I’ve been meaning to read the source material.

Dune — I really wanna read the books, watched the first movie and loved it. It really gave me a whole new love for world building.

Hollywood conspiracies — because okay, it started with the P Diddy case (I still wanna read the case file in full), then I fell into watching Club Shay Shay — I’m on the episode with Katt Williams, then imma move onto Monique’s episode. And you know… some things be adding up, I ain’t even gonna lie to you. There’s been too much shady stuff going on over there in the US of A recently. Like this stuff keep coming up fr. I mean even the Boeing stuff, how that whistleblower that wanted to testify against them just coincidentally committed self deletion?? Something fishyyy fr.

Primary Source

Carrie (1976)

For my primary source post, I decided to watch a movie from the late 70s and its remake from the early 2010s. The movie I chose to watch is Stephen King's Carrie. Carrie was originally published as a novel in 1974 and eventually became a New York Times bestseller. It became so popular that it was made into a movie only two years later. This movie is a classic for horror film fans, making 33.8 million dollars in the box office. It has a 7.4/10 star rating on IMDb and is directed by Brian de Palma. Carrie is played by Sissy Spacek and Tommy, Carrie's date to the prom, is played by William Katt. While watching this movie, I could tell that it took place in the 70s based off of the costume design, hairstyles, camera quality, and dialogue. For example, the girls wore brightly patterned shirts and had perms. The opening scene takes place during a high school gym class volleyball game, and the locker room afterwards where Carrie gets bullied by the girls in her class. Overall, the movie has a good storyline, cinematography, and acting. So why was it remade?

Carrie (2013)

The Carrie remake did even better than the first, making 84.8 million dollars in the box office. However, it only has a 5.8/10 star rating on IMDb and has a different director, Kimberly Pierce. Carrie is played by Chloe Grace-Moretz and Tommy is played by Ansel Elgort. While the original movie took place in the 70s, the remake decided to put a modern twist on the movie, having it take place in the early 2010s. You can tell this by looking at the clothing styles, use of cell phones, and music. For example, the girls wore flashier dresses and had their hair straightened. The bullying in the movie goes a step further when the girls take a video of Carrie and post it online. The opening scene is also different, showing Carrie's mom giving birth first, then after the title it shows the pool volleyball scene. Overall, this version of Carrie has essentially the same storyline, character development, and use of talented actors and actresses. So, which one is better? Looking at evidence through many review sites such as Rotten Tomatoes, Metacritic, and Google Reviews, the 1976 version has scored much better. But the real "better version" is up to you, as the viewer, to decide! In my opinion, I like the 2013 version better because I think the scene at prom is much more intense, and the characters have more personality and development than they did before.

They’re at 20+.  I don’t know-- I wonder if a phrase like “sexual misconduct” (not to pick up on that phrase specifically-- just the way these conversations get couched generally, is what i mean here but... not sure what the right phrase is) doesn’t throw people because we all have such different definitions of what constitutes that.  There’s what I summon in my head as a person who’s had certain contact in both professional and personal ways with ... people whose true-nightmare experiences are not mine to discuss, let’s say, and there’s where I put the bar when I hear that phrase (or what comes to mind).   And then there’s where someone else might put that bar, who hasn’t gone on quite the same... let’s say, journeys into darkness.  Or there’s a warping of ... expectations and... not expectations... what’s the word...   

I mean, there’s a level of just... mistreating people and the karma of that and the reputational damage and amends that should be made that is desirable for that, which I personally don’t think is nothing or worth glossing over necessarily, I guess is what I'm trying to get at.  Like-- isn’t that itself something? Doesn’t it have to be?  I just can see in my head people going “well that’s just ____” and it’s like.... But ____ sucks!  ____ sucks ass!  What does “just _____” even mean?  I don’t want someone _____-ing me, so why I should be okay with someone else getting ______-ed.   

And I’m not saying I deserve to know where Ellis falls on the Human Monster spectrum-- I am not Judge Dredd here.  I worry whether or when people want to know too much, or when they treat people who had to suffer assholes as... sources of titillation more than people on their own journeys...?  (Frequently if not more often quite interesting or more interesting journeys than the third-rate dudes who their stories have been unfortunately linked to!  Goddamn, if that hasn’t been my consistent and delightful experience).  I don’t know if I'm phrasing any of any of this right, but...

Like, say all you ever heard was that Ellis was cruel to 20+ women in this gross way (TWO EVERY HOUR!  TWO FULL MINUTES UNDERWATER!), gross to the extent where they’re willing to risk all the grotesque injustices of the internet to protect other people from him, without ever knowing their ages or whether the cruelty rose to a level of “Abuse” that... crosses line X or Y or Z.  Well, like-- isn’t that still a lot of people for a person to leave in their wake?  Sure, not for a *real* celebrity, he’s a fucking piker, but for like... a guy who wrote Doom 2099???  For an industry like comics that just, I’m sorry, attracts broken people?  

I don’t know.  All I know is I listened to Rick Ross’s Hustlin’ last night to prep me for watching comic pros today, and it was magical. That song holds the fuck up.  Remember when Grand Theft Auto hired Katt Williams to do a comedy set for their videogame and he just did a set about how much he loved Hustlin’, inside of a videogame?  Not a perfect guy to cite at this particular moment in history, Katt’s had some problems, but Hustlin’ is just that good a song, song of the week, put the video in the next “WEF helped so many careers” retrospective!!!!
