In a cloister he came upon a recently painted fresco. He had to look at it for a long time. A dance of death had been painted on a wall: pale bony death, dancing people out of life, king and bishop, abbot and earl, knight, doctor, peasant, lansquenet—everyone he took along with him, while skeleton musicians played on hollow bones. Goldmund’s curious eyes drank in the painting. (at Hollow Bones) https://www.instagram.com/p/CqG1gCdOncV/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Selim Junz had never been the phlegmatic type. A year of frustration had done nothing to improve that. He could not sip wine carefully while his mental orientation sat upon suddenly trembling foundations. In short, he was not Lydian Abel.

A few stills of the 1969 Korean horror film, filmed in 3D, The Devil and the Beauty, directed by Lee Yong-Min. It appears to have been restored in 2014 by the Korean Film Archive, with Filmmuseum München helping with the 3D side. ——— We can’t find any much written about this online, nor can we find any evidence that it has screened in any of NYC’s rep houses. We’re posting these images here because they excite us, but also to try to will a screening or a home video release into existence.

Illustration by Al Kilgore of the heroes and villains of Republic Pictures’ serial films. From one of Alan G. Barbour’s definitive tomes on serial films, Days of Thrills and Adventure. As dated as those Republic serials are (and were, decades before we were born!), they’re still more imaginative, innocent, optimistic, heroic, and just plain better than the mega-corporate superhero content created now. It’s well worth seeking out some of the greatest hits from this cycle, including Adventures of Captain Marvel and Daredevils of the Red Circle, both available on HD home video.
