Propaganda

Senator Joseph Harrison Paine (Mr. Smith Goes to Washington) - Every time I watch this movie, I feel such a rush of good feelings. There are so many wonderful characters in this film but I adore watching Senator Paine every second he's on screen. He's such a tragic character too and we see his hesitation about turning on Jefferson. These people he's worked with, the little guys, were the people he's built his platform on. That Academy Award nomination was so well-deserved and I'm disappointed he never got much more than a nod. I'm also upset that the film cut out the ending portion of the script where Jefferson sees Paine and invites him to walk in the parade with him and brings him home for dinner. Pledge your vote for Paine!

Mr. Dryden (Lawrence of Arabia) - "Big things have small beginnings" is such a good quote! He's a suave villain that explains things so eloquently and I like watching him try to school other characters with a flick of the wrist. His speeches are superb and he's giving 'lazy old cat in the perfect sun spot' for the majority of the movie. I also like how short he is when compared to the other dudes lol.

This is round one for The King of The Claudes tournament and other matchups can be found here!

Additional Propaganda under the cut!

Senator Joseph Harrison Paine

This movie honestly means so much to me and it was one of the first "serious" movies I watched as a kid. Claude's performance is delightful and heartwarming. I see the love he has for Jeff throughout and those little moments of 'I care about this kid' sprinkled through make it all the much realer.

i am being so fucking serious when i say a lot of people need to free themselves and queer characters from the shackles of the idea of "good representation" you are stifling and limiting and shrinking queer characters down just so you can fit them into a "good representation" box and it's so. exhausting. queer characters are not a monolith. free yourselves. and them.

Hello Rope fandom 🙏

I recently got myself a copy of the Rope novelisation, I'm lucky to have found it, it's not just a retelling of the film- there's extra lore, internal thoughts (especially from Phillip!) and some dialogue. It became clear that I needed to find a way to get it out there for everyone to read, given how old this media is and how we will never get more content, this book is very valuable in that sense. So here it is scanned and uploaded to the internet archive in full, and I hope everyone else enjoys it as much as I have!
