Sophocles, Elektra (trans. Anne Carson)
Fabrizio De Andrè – Andrea
(Music spam, 2 of 2) This is a (dead) het singer/songwriter singing about the love story between two men, one of whom is drafted and dies in a war. (Note: Andrea is a man’s name in Italian)
Townes Van Zandt – For The Sake Of The Song
(Spam music 1 of 2) This is a het song, but I play it every time I am thinking of longing and tenderness between my OTPs.
as requested by @feels-and-things, a stereotypical windows movie maker knifegun shipvid to this song (or at least that’s how it starts, i got ambitious)
Love this unreservedly. I am not as passionate about Corbett/Cuchillo as I am about Ryan/Bill and Ben/Cudlip, but this songvid is the stuff dreams are made of. Hope it makes an exponential number of converts.
“The relationship between Billy and Goodnight are two characters who really needed each other.” – Antoine Fuqua
Aziraphale: Admit it. You think angels just exist to make people’s lives easier.
Crowley: Well, don’t they?
Aziraphale: I’ve never made anyone’s life easier and you know it!
Steve McQueen
& Horst Buchholz –The Magnificent Seven (1960) **
Oh, this is wonderful. Someone young, passionate, angry (and drunk) and someone not much older, made jaded and ironic by experience. And Chris, whom we don’t see here, (apparently) as detached as a psychoanalist.
Bertolt Brecht, love of my life
In his shortish life (he died at 58) Brecht managed to be in conflict with the Nazis, with Stalinist communists, with the HUAC, and with the post-WWII East German communist administration. I love this poem, even though his grave in Berlin has no inscription, only his name.
I need no gravestone, but
If you need one for me
I wish the inscription would read:
He made suggestions. We
Have acted on them.
Such an epitaph would
Honor us all.
Wonderful film. Great scene. Gian Maria Volonte’ SO intense. And what’s really good is that Bartolomeo Vanzetti DID say something along those lines in his speech before they were sentenced to death.
