‘Scissors,’ Richard Diebenkorn, 1959.
Happy pride month to UNCLE FRANK who had to carry the weight of being a character in THE CW (homophobic and gay). He never EVEN served, nobody gave a FUCK about him, he HATECRIMED archie, he fucked a COP, and was the flugiest bitch in that town but he DIED in such a slay way (SLAYED by the gay serial killer married couple, Chicles). Rot in hell uncle frank, your legacy will prevail.

sometimes there really is a single load bearing piece of information about a blogger that elucidates everything about their whole deal and recently for me it was learning that someone was from jersey. another time it was a prolonged history of concussions

i have a lot of problems with this last kings of hollywood book (teleological framing from the title being an obvious indicator) but my biggest one so far is hes name dropping every bozo who comes up in the relevant contemporary sources as if that proves something. yes, of course all the major names of 70s-90s contemporary cinema are palling around in the late 60s together, they were all trying to make it. wouldnt it be interesting to also note how many other people were in that milieu not named martin scorcese, in order to actually establish a sense of scale? like, i sincerely doubt every guy in that friend group went on to win an oscar. it doesnt have to be a book about them but it would certainly be good texture to mention!

George [Lucas] told Francis [Ford Coppola] about the underground cinema of the Bay Area, where he'd grown up. Francis floated the idea of their moving to San Francisco together, to make personal films there. It'd get them away from Hollywood.
One day, Francis opened his closet and showed George what he'd been stashing inside: film stock, reels, bits of equipment. "Someday when they finally throw me out of here," he said, "we'll have enough and we can make another film."
"Film is power," Francis told [John] Milius. "If you have enough film, all you need is a camera, and I have one of those, too. I can do anything I want."
I'm willing to die by his side, Milius thought. Francis had that aura.
from The Last Kings of Hollywood: Coppola, Lucas, Spielberg, and the Battle For the Soul of American Cinema by Paul Fischer

two meta tangents i love to rotate together -
for all the theorizing, one thing i kinda hope we don't get in atn is an answer for how wake's revenant resists certain "rules" of necromancy in htn. i love the idea that wake believes in her cause so strongly, is so driven by her mission, that her revenant can upend a necromancer's expectations and operate in a way they don't expect. can literally just ignore the painstakingly formalized rules that the nine houses have set down as their divine field of study - that WE as the reader still take as "truth" when we're reading htn. wonderful narrative device. fuck the emperor and his wizards' mathematics
(and the formalization of theorems and mathematics as the language of necromancy in the nine houses is SO interesting to me - in an "all models are wrong but some are useful" sense. it's clear after ntn that the necromancy that harrow et al. can do isn't even close to the variety of powers john had pre-res, healing and making plants grow [albeit with teeth] etc. - and john himself doesn't need to know the math, may not even care - but what did john "let through" post-res, what did he allow to be formalized as an academic field by his disciples? what did he allow to be understood as theorems, i.e. as propositions proven by a chain of reasoning? the death and exploitation stuff, destroy-your-enemies-with-fusion stuff. cram a hundred souls [that you probably mass-murdered] into one body. flip a planet and just put the refugees somewhere else. magic that makes you, inherently, closer to the divine, and superior to your non-magical peers. lyctorhood. the recurrence of study, of mathematics, a deeply formalized field deeply concerned with the act of proof, has always stood out to me in the text. something something, in an empire, academia has as much a hand in constructing "truth" [as a political concept] as any other institution)
anyways i definitely think wake is in pyrrha's gun and i hope she comes back in atn and breaks even more of the rules of necromancy with no explanation!!
i really underrate bravery as an emotion within narrative... im thinking again of yikes' shane is so brave post, and of all the people who watched hr without realizing it was a genre romance and would necessarily have a happy ending. it is really easy for me to lose track of bravery in romance (and horror) especially, because of the guaranteed outcomes. but the characters dont know they have a happy ending waiting for them! they are making choices without any assurance of their success. this again is why stakes maintenance is so important, i need to feel that the characters are taking genuine emotional and practical risks to be together. commonly in alibooks i wish there was more of this; she generally holds off on confession until both the reader and the character are pretty positive that the love interest will return affection. the exception of course being PSR. Maya is SO brave, and persistent in a way that usually only aliguys get to be. and there is some bravery for the aliguys, but (thinking especially of Lukas here) it doesnt really count if he knows she likes him too the whole time, but holds back on taking any risks about it until shes ready. i like some recklessness and desperation in my bravery... putting all the chips on the line for what might not be a sure bet.
