Yeah look the weird smut comments are totally out of pocket but I really can't get over "im more into dr.seus or self help books lol"
#do you think he's actually read dr. seuss or did he just hear "doctor" before an author's name and decide it sounded smart? (Via @shellys-apprentice)
Oh my god
Found the orginal thread and lost it at this
“Del Toro altering aspects of ‘Frankenstein’ to reflect his own lived experiences and family dynamic is arguably more Shelleyan than a 100% faithful film adaptation,” I say into the microphone. The crowd boos and throws tomatoes. I walk offstage stricken with shame. “Wait, she’s right!” exclaims a voice amidst the chaos. It’s Mary Shelley, smoking a joint

I almost didn’t click this because I assumed it would be someone singing the altered lyrics and I can basically figure out what that would sound like
BUT NO, someone has instead the original song to go like this and it is, very good

You make soup in a big bowl. You serve it in a smaller bowl. And then you convey it, using a spoon, to your mouth. But what is the spoon? Simply a smaller bowl still
“The Militarization of the Police Department – Deadly Farce,” an original painting by Richard Williams from “The 20 Dumbest People, Events, and Things of 2014″ in Mad magazine #531, published by DC Comics, February 2015.
Here’s the original, for comparison. And here’s a bit more about the artist and why he created the piece above for MAD Magazine.
Richard Williams on Norman Rockwell:
“For most people, he was the painter of ‘America,’” he added. “But even he said his vision was what he wanted ‘America’ to be. It was a mythical ‘America,’ a place where all people were decent, honest and full of good will. His work was full of gentle humor that made you feel a little better; even if you knew it wasn’t really true… you just wished it was. My parody of Rockwell’s painting simply says, ‘That myth is dead.’”
I think it’s relevant to add that even Norman Rockwell chose to leave his cushy job at the Saturday Evening Post because he wanted to make artwork that was more radical. The Post had rules that wouldn’t allow him to do artwork depicting black people as anything other than servants. The job paid really well and that was a huge reason he continued on. But he wanted change that and so he moved to Look magazine.
A lot of people know about the very first piece he did when he left the post which was the The Problem We All Live With which depicts Ruby Bridges walking to school under federal protection.
But I don’t think enough people know about Murder in Mississippi which depicts three real civil rights activists who were murdered by the Ku Klux Klan and sherriffs. The magazine ran the sketch instead of the finished piece because they felt it had a more striking statement to accompany the article. Norman Rockwell would finish that version after publication which is here
Rockwell’s legacy is sanitized because he decided to maintain his job at the Post for so long despite his frustrations with not being able to express himself. The civil rights movement was just his final straw to change what he could with the little time he had left. Look magazine received a lot of hate for Rockwell painting these as well.
Another favorite piece of mine is The Right to Know which depicts an integrated populace questioning their government. In 1968, the year of Vietnam and the year the Fair Housing Act only just got signed in months prior:
But I think it’s important to include the caption Rockwell originally wrote for the piece as well. I think it represents how a 74 year old Rockwell felt about the America he believed in and the people in it:
We are the governed, but we govern too. Assume our love of country, for it is only the simplest of self-love. Worry little about our strength, for we have our history to show for it. And because we are strong, there are others who have hope. But watch us more closely from now on, for those of us who stand here mean to watch those we put in the seats of power. And listen to us, you who lead, for we are listening harder for the truth that you have not always offered us. Your voice must be ours, and ours speaks of cities that are not safe, and of wars we do not want, of poor in a land of plenty, and of a world that will not take the shape our arms would give it. We are not fierce, and the truth will not frighten us. Trust us, for we have given you our trust. We are the governed, remember, but we govern too.
I’d just like to briefly say even Rockwell’s seemingly feel good Americana pieces are often more political than people today realize for example
likely the most famous picture of a Thanksgiving dinner ever painted and you see it all the time.
What you may not know is its actual title
“Freedom From Want” it’s a part of a series of 4, including this now famous meme
“Freedom of Speech” These paintings were illustrations of FDR’s “Four Freedoms” speech where The President laid out a vision that would become what the Allies were fighting for in WWII universal human rights that became a part of the UN charter.
So this homey American Thanksgiving scene was also a bold statement that no one in the world should go hungry
Rockwell’s work was very political, he used that Americana small town America vibe of his work to make what he was saying feel very close to the viewers he was trying to reach and also his optimism of the human spirt but for sure not blind to the need to build a better world.
This is Gilbert. He’s been around a while. Attributes his long life to many, many years of always getting what he wants
Well, now I'm a Gilbert fan. That sly villainous grin and squint…
