Arminius' Triumphal Procession

[chrisengel]

"This world is the only reality available to us, and if we do not love it in all its terror, we are sure to end up loving the ‘imaginary,’ our own self-deceits, the utopias of politicians, the futile promises of future reward which the misled call ‘religion'." Leslie Fiedler

Book Review: John La Carre’s “The Spy Who Came in from the Cold”

Espionage thriller. The genre automatically makes a picture in our minds. The picture contains agents, double agents, double crosses, conspiracies, a man travelling country after country, chases etc. If the quality of this picture and its elements are barometers to measure success of a book, in the genre, then “The Spy Who Came in from the Cold” is a straightaway blockbuster. However, the real…

John Fiedler (Twelve Angry Men)—You're about to say "what the heck, who is this, I don't know this man." Yes you fucking do. The second he talks, or should I say pathetically mews, you do. That's Piglet. If a man who speaks with the voice of Piglet in fucking "12 Angry Men"—who has to be an angry man with the voice of did i mention PIGLET— isn't pathetic I don't know what to tell you any more

Mantan Moreland (Mr. Washington Goes to Town, Cabin in the Sky)—i love mantan moreland SO. MUCH. and he is the pERFECT scrungly little guy!!!!! like a lot of black actors at the time he was always getting sidelined into small parts, but unusually he also managed to become a star in his own right and was almost one of the three stooges! he was a groundbreaking comedic actor known for his distinctive stare (very good for the horror movies he did), and he always is way more fun to watch on screen than anyone else. he had a famous double-act where he perfected this technique of non-conversations (where both people keep finishing each other's sentences before any actual information is conveyed). a lot of his movies are free on youtube and i really enjoy seeing him do his silly little guy thing in all of them!!! anyways yeah please include mantan he deserves some recognition as peak scrungle

John Fiedler:

Mantan Moreland:

He just had a scrungly look about him and he played big with his roles so any of it became especially scrungly. Plus he was very funny in the way only scrungly people can be.

the FUNNEST GUY TO WATCH ON SCREEN. he was an immensely gifted physical comedian, able to convey loads with his eyes, and while some of his parts are so sad and cringeworthy, I feel like he always brought a humanity and humor that lifted them beyond cheap stereotype.

here's his double act in action!! [editor's note: Benson Fong cameo too!]
