The de Palma version wasn't very good. Al Pacino is generally so overrated. He overacts - sometimes hilariously so.

‘We’re losing accessibility’: America says goodbye to the mass-market paperback The so-called ‘pocket book’ sold in supermarkets is being phased out across the US, the latest sign of an ongoing shift in how people are choosing to read

How I miss smoking! Although I probably looked more Bette Davis than Jacques Brel when I did!

Fun fact: the birthing figure in Rivera's mural was based on a pre-Columbian artifact of debatable authenticity that also made its way into cinematic history, inspiring the golden idol from Raiders of the Lost Ark www.nationalgeographic.com/history/hist...

For all of us who thirst for our weekly fix of #NoirAlley, EDDIE MULLER will be back in our homes on Saturday, March 21, with Who Killed Teddy Bear? (1965).

"Unscrew the locks from the doors!
Unscrew the doors themselves from their jambs!

Whoever degrades another degrades me,
And whatever is done or said returns at last to me."

Cover of Sacha Coward’s Queer as Folklore. Bright yellow background, red and black title lettering, illustration of a merman/maid, fairy, unicorn hybrid.

Just finished @sachacoward.bsky.social’s excellent Queer as Folklore. Absolutely packed with fascinating ruminations on gender and sexuality and the connections LGBTQ people have with history, myths, legends and folk tales. A total delight and highly recommend. #Booksky

Edie Sedgwick, Andy Warhol superstar, biography and the true crime story of a Sedgwick imposter.

I don't understand this. If he would have hated safe spaces, isn't that a reason to get rid of them? He challenged "community standards" in court over his film Blue Movie. We should get rid of "community standards" too.

Serie "Shadows" (Sombras) de Andy Warhol, creada entre 1978 y 1979. Es una obra de 102 lienzos, de los que podemos ver unos pocos en la exposición. Modus operandi con la marca de la casa, repetición con variaciones, pero no solo sugarpop

Serigrafía fotográfica "Un solo Elvis" creada por Andy Warhol, basada en un fotograma de la película "Flaming Star ("Estrella llameante") de 1960. Hay una serie de fotos (no aquí) con "Doble Elvis" que juega con esta imagen. Dimensiones apropiadamente gigantescas para el Rey, la megaestrella, esto sí es pop

Pintura de Oxidación ('Oxidation Painting') de Andy Warhol, circa 1970 Lámina de cobre oxidada con orina. Sep. Hay algunas sobre papel que también quedan chulas, como pergaminos orientales. Esta tiene un color espectacular, regio, que contrasta guarramente con esos verdes mohecinos

Pintura de Oxidación ('Oxidation') de Andy Warhol, 1977-1978, orina y pintura de cobre oxidadas Otra de esta serie donde se lleva al límite el dripping más escatológico con soprendentes resultados orgánicos y semialeatorios

What answer do you get when you ask Google if Tidal accepts ICE ads? I get this:

David Bowie sings All the young dudes

All the young dudes (hey, dudes!)

Boogaloo dudes (stand up, come on!)

Somewhat cartoonlike painted rendering of a male figure at center, rousing a crowd with a noisemaker, megaphone, drums, etc.

A trick I learned a long time ago, being an honest and effective ally, is make everyone question your sexuality.
