[starthelostboys]

in honor of me watching last voyage of the demeter earlier today, here's the lost boys + star and laddie's favorite dracula adaptation movies.

star: dracula's daughter (1936). this like barely has anything to do with to do with the original book but i'm counting anything that has/mentions dracula prominently as an adaptation. anyways it's a lesbian movie so you know that star is all over it.

david: dracula (1931). he saw this movie in theatres and thinks that bela lugosi is just sooo hot in it. hasn't read the book or seen any other dracula adaptations cause he thinks it's stupid for a vampire to watch vampire movies.

dwayne: bram stoker's dracula (1992). he's the only one on this list that's read the book so he likes that it's pretty faithful to the source material as far as i know i never finished reading dracula. i also think he'd really like the visual style of the movie.

marko: nosferatu (1922). he loves that nosferatu is kind of inhuman and weird looking as opposed to other movies with vampires that just look human, which is pretty hypocritical of him considering he's a vampire that just looks human. he's never actually seen the movie all the way through cause he gets bored easily.

paul: horror of dracula (1958). this is a hammer horror movie which i think he'd enjoy. he and marko definitely watched this together at some point and had a really good time talking over the movie.

laddie: monster squad (1987). this is the only movie with dracula in it that he's seen and didn't get immediately bored during, even though paul is really insistent that he'd like horror of dracula if he just gave it a try. the boys and star definitely took him to the theatre to see this when it came out.

Cockblocked

A/n: I needed to write some Paul, I love him so much.

Warnings: none? Just some making out

Word count: 996 (short I know)

"Ugh do I have to wear these stupid plastic things." Paul whined as you tied up his cape. "They're uncomfortable and pathetic." He adds, you look at him with a raised brow.

"Oh come on Paul, it's Halloween! You could at least give me some Bela Lugosi vibes." You gave him your puppy eyes before walking back to your vanity and picked up some eyeliner.

"But Bela Lugosi wasn't a real vampire, I am." He followed behind you, Paul was mad about the whole pretend to be a vampire thing but he would happily let you put eyeliner on him. "Why don't you paint yourself green and stick on a wart like those witches." He pointed to your Halloween decorations you insisted on putting up all over the room.

"Then I wouldn't be a realistic witch now would I?" You chuckled at him. "All done." Paul didn't look impressed with his fake plastic fangs and his cape, take those away and you have your regular Paul.

"Come onnn let me walk around with my vampire face, everyone would think it's fake anyway!" He huffed and grabbed you by the waist, pulling you closer.

"Damn you, fine you can do that. I can't say no to you." You laugh, going in for a kiss until he lets go of you and tears the cape off and spits his teeth out then he picks you up by your waist, backing you against the wall and kissing you passionately. Your legs almost automatically wrapped themselves around his waist while your arms were around his neck.

The kiss turned into a heated make out session and Paul started sucking hickies into your neck and on your collar bones, your hands crept their way into his hair as you tried pulling him back to your lips. Paul let out a low growl as your tongues danced in a battle for dominance which you had lost but really you let him win. His hands squeeze your hips causing you to gasp and he chuckles into the kiss. Your make out sessions were never serious it was always messy and the two of you would be giggling or maybe one of you. Paul breaks away and starts to kiss down your neck, biting and sucking bruises into your skin he tries to control himself but he just can't help that he camps out but you lowkey like it though and he knows that after the last time you two got tangled in each other. He was starting to get feral he let out more low growls and lets go of your hips to find the end of your shirt Paul had almost had it completely off until a tap at the window interrupted you both, you broke away calming down and you both look to see who had interrupted you and there Marko was half in your bedroom half out of it.

"Come on man, save it for later we got places to be." You both looked at each other then back at Marko who was still half in your bedroom from the window, you felt slightly embarrassed but this wouldn't have been the first time Marko or any of the others have walked in on you and Paul making out. Just luckily that's all it got to otherwise you couldn't bare to look at them ever again. You'd like to think they wouldn't interrupt you if they caught you in that situation they would just walk away and pretend that it didn't happen. Or maybe that has already happened!? Paul sighed with a smile as he put you down, he loved making out with you it always let to some fun and wild activities afterwards but looks like tonight won't be the night or at least not till later on.

"Such a cockblock dude." Paul laughed,pulled your shirt back to where it was as you sorted your hair and picked up your hat. Marko and Paul started to wrestle in the middle of your room while you sorted yourself out. You just watched the two idiots manhandle each other so you cleared your throat.

"Come one you two, save it for later." You say in a mocking tone. "Sorry Marko you really didn't need to see that." You blushed as you headed near the window waiting for Paul to help you down. It wasn't really anything special planned for tonight other than parking a few trick or treaters maybe going a bit to far on pranking the Surfer Nazis then Paul and his brothers making a feast on a few drunk tourists.

"Don't worry about it." Paul shrugs like it was no big deal. "I heard David found the best place for us to feed tonight and what's on the menu sounds great." He spoke more to Paul than to you, you rolled your eyes. You weren't one for watching paul and his brothers feed in fact it would be a smart idea to go home before it gets to that part of the evening because after Paul feeds he gets more wild and feral and would happily take you right then and there whether his brothers were there or not, he just didn't care cause it's Paul.

You had come to realise that Paul would take anywhere; a dark alleyway, behind one of the rides at the broad walk, heck even the bathrooms if they are empty but it probably would matter if there was anyone watching or not.

"We will continue this when we get back." Paul winked at you as he helped you mount the back of his bike, you wrapped your arms around his waist and squeezed him playfully.

"After you have a shower and brush your damn teeth. I don't want to be tasting your victims tonight." You remark playfully and you hear Dwayne and Marko laugh.

"She's got you bro."

"Shut up man." He laughs and all of you drive off to the board walk.

LINGVA LATINA PER SE ILLVSTRATA - CAPITVLVM QVINTVM DECIMVM

Jen!

«La instruisto kaj la studentoj», la nomo.

Resumo: Komenciĝas en lernejo, kiu havas 3 studentojn, unu el ili Kinto. Tamen nur la instruitisto kaj unu studento, Seksto, en ĉambro estas. Tiam la dua studento alvenas, Tito, sed Marko ne aperas. Li alvenas malfrue. Instruitisto, poste, deklamas tekston, sed studentoj trovas ĝin enua kaj dormas.

Ĉi rakonto postulas longan resumon. Mi eĉ ne diris la rakonton tute... Sed ĝi estis komprenebla.

Estas interesaj aferoj pri kiuj paroli en ĉi ĉapitro. Kaj ĉi tiu facile estus tiu kun la plej multaj duboj rilate al vortoj... Mi ne scias ĉu mi parolos pri ili ĉi tie. Se ĉi afiŝo estos tre granda, mi priparolos la vortojn en alia, male, ĉi tie mi priparolos.

«Cum» konfuzanta mian kapon

Mi legas «cum» kiel «kun», sed ĝi ankaŭ signifas «kiam». Mi bezonis pli da tempo por adaptiĝi. Kutimoafero.

Mi ne memoras ĉu la libro uzis ĝin aŭ ne antaŭe... Ĉiuokaze, bona ĝi estas. Antaŭ la deklinacioj, nun la verbaj konjugacioj tute aperas! Ne nur la 1a persono, sed la 2a, kaj singularaj kaj pluralaj! La libro komenciĝas, komenciĝas nun!

Kaj aferon kiun mi rimarkis en ma latina estas ke ne cima vi sukcesos kompreni frazon unuafoje. Foje vi bezonas legi pli ol du fojojn por komprenado. Almenaŭ por komencantoj.

La libro fuŝis min

Tergum est posterior pars corporis.

De nenio aperas komparativoj de la vorto «post», «posterior». «Post» samsignifas al la vorto esperante, montranta, laŭ mia kapo, ion venantan apude, figursence aŭ ne. Sed unu difinon mi scias sed ne memoris: «montranta lokon kontraŭan al la fronto de objekto».

Kiam mi legis la supran frazon, mi imagis ion apud la korpo. Sed kio estus parto posta de korpo? Parto de la korpo kiu estas apude? Kio?? Ve al mi. Ne venis al mi la alia signifo de tiu vorto. Mi jam sciis ke ĝi aludis dorson, ĉar bildo montras tion antaŭe, sed eĉ tiam mi ne ekpensis pri la senco de kontraŭa al la fronto.

Do, kompreninte finfine la signifon, mi scivolis kial uzitis komparativon anstataŭ simple adjektivo. Ĉu eblus ambigueco aŭ miskompreno?

Sufikso «re-»

Aperas ĉi sufikso, kiun ni jam bone konas. Letero D aligatas al ĝi kiam la radiko komencas per vokalo, ŝajne, ĉar «ire» fariĝas «redire», ne «reire».

La latina jam konata pro sia vortordolibero, sed mi ne scias ĉu tia libero eblas kun prefiksoj, aŭ afiksoj ĝenerale. Ankaŭ mi scivolas pri kreado de vortoj. Mi sekvas profilon kreantan vortojn latine, kunigante ekzistantajn vortojn. Mi guglos pri tio. Ĝuste aŭ ne, honeste, mi faros ĝin ĉiuokaze ma latine tre bela lingvo estas por ne esti tia libero.

Tota coniugatio verborum hic est!

La libro nur montris verbojn en la 3a persono. Ĉi ĉapitre aperas la 1a kaj 2a persono, singularaj kaj pluralaj. Mi pensis ke nur okazus tio, sed en Grammatica Latina aperas tabelo kun ĉiuj konjugacioj. Jej! Ni antaŭe vidis ĉiujn deklinaciojn kaj jam estis indiko ke la libro efektive komenciĝis, nun, kun ankaŭ la verba konjugacio tute montrita, ni sendube vidos multajn aferojn de la sekva pluen.

Anstataŭigoj ne ĉesas!

Mi komentis komence pri la duboj rilate al vortoj. Estas ĉar la anstataŭigo. La libro simple diras ke unu vorto samas al alia, sed no scias ke ĝi ne estas ĝusta. Havas similajn signifojn, sed tute samaj ne estas. Eĉ «cur», signifanta «kial», anstataŭigitis...

Lokativo aperas

Mi jam konis ĝin pro Duolingo (mi jam studis la latinan ĉe ĝi antaŭ iom da tempo, kelkjarojn). Ĝi estas finaĵo kontanta, kiel diras la nomo, lokon. Tamen ĝi ne estas tiel komuna kaj ne ĉiuj vortoj ĝin havas.

Vortludo en la teksto!!

Hahaha, mi eĉ ne povas kredi ke mi vidis tion! Kaj tio estis farita de la instruisto, kio iomete surprizigis min, ĉar mi ne atendus tian aferon el severa ulo. Nur vidu:

Titus tibi mālum dare non potest, at ego tibi malum dare possum, nisi hic et nunc Tito librum reddis!

Jes, dufoje «mallum», kun la diferenco en la signo sur la letero. Ambaŭ vortoj diferenciĝas parole ĉar A kun signo estas pli longa ol A sen signo. Mi trovis ĝin tre tre kreema. Tiaj frazoj multe helpas onin memori vortojn.

Plue, estis ankoraŭ la esprimo «hic et nunc» = «ĉi tie kaj nun». Kvankam preskaŭ ĉiam eblas uzi esprimon de sia lingvo en alia laŭvorte tradukante ĝin, estas sciata ke ne ĉiam tio funkcias, ĉar muktfoje esprimo, eĉ kun la sama signifo, estas tute alia en alia lingvo. Pro tio mi ne estus certa, se mi estus tradukanta ĉi esprimon al la latina. Almenaŭ nun mi scias ke ĉi tiu estas laŭvorta.

Prior: ĉu adjektivo aŭ substantivo?

Ĝi aperas kiel adjektivo laŭ mi, eĉ pli ĉar la libro diras ke ĝi estas malo de «posterior», adjektivo, kavankam mi scias ke kiam la libro diras ke io samsignifas, tio ne vere samsignifas...

Pro scivolemo, mi serĉis la vorton ĉe Latin Is Simple, kaj ĝi diras ke «prior» estas substantivo... Kiel?? Tamen! Mi rimarkis ion. La libro diras prior -ius, dum la substantivo «prior» ĉe Latin Is Simple estas prior -is, tio estas, ili ne estas la sama vorto! Kaj la libro aperanta en la libro ne estas ĉe Latin Is Simple. Ial ili ne enmetis ĝin.

Do mi guglis latinan vortaron kaj trovis la vorton tie. La signifo estas «antaŭen, antaŭ». La 4a signifo estas «antaŭa, pli frue». Ambaŭ, precipe la 4a, mi kredas, tute kongruas al la senco montrata libre. Do, uf, problemo solvita!

La frazo en kie aperas la vorto prior, kaj ankaŭ posterior, diras ke la studentoj nur aŭdis la komencon de la libro, ĉar, kiam la instruisto legis la finon, ili estis dormanta. Nun vidu kie interese:

Pueri autem priorem libri partem tantum audiunt, nam antequam magister partem libri posteriorem recitare incipit.

Kiam estas dirita unua parto, la adjektivo venas komence, sed kiam estas dirita la lasta parto, la adjektivo venas fine, interŝanĝante lokojn kun «parto». Mi trovis tion interesa ĉar, kiam priparolate komenco, adjektivo venas komence; kiam priparolate fino, adjektivo venas fine. Ĉu estus ĉi tio koincido aŭ tiu kiu skribis volis fari tiun vortludon? Mi ne kredas ke tio estas deviga, ĉar en la latina eblas granda vortordo. Eble tio fakte estis ia vortludo de la verkisto.

Kaj mi profitas pro diri ke ĉi tia vortordo, en kie la genitivo estas inter substantivo kaj adjektivo, konfuzigas min. Estas kiel mi diris antaŭe, en la latina foje vi bezonas legi la tutan frazon por kompreni kion ĝi volas diri.

Ĉu diminutiva sufikso?

Aperas vorto «lectulus», signifante «malgranda lito». La libro mem diras ke ĝi signifas tion, sed kursivigante la leteroj UL. Ĝi volis montri tion. Nu, mi kredas ke ĉi tio estas diminutiva sufikso, sed mi ne kredas ke nur ekzistas unu en la latina... Mi ankaŭ ne scias ĉu mi povas uzi la afikosjn ie ajn.

Sed kio estas la diferenco inter «considere» kaj «sedere»?

Mi komencis pensi pri tio ĉar mi unue pensis ke ambaŭ estis samsignifaj, sed poste, en momento de la libro, la studentoj diras ke ili ne povas «considere» ĉar ili ne povas «sedere». Mi tute ne komprenis...

Latin Is Simple diras ke «considere» estas «sit down» kaj «sedere» estas «sit». Serĉante ĉi-ambaŭ vortoj ĉe Glosbe, aperas ke «sit down» = «sidiĝi» kaj «sit» = «sidi». Respektive, ambaŭ signifas «sidi seĝe» kaj «havi bruston rektan dum gluteoj restas sur ia apogo». Kio diable estus la diferenco ĉi tie?

Nu, la afiŝo fariĝis longa, do mi ne parolos pri la vortoj dubigantaj ĉi tie. Iutage mi afiŝos pri ili.

Do, mi alvenis la finon. Mi ŝatis la ĉapitron, malgraŭ la malfaciloj. Jen frazo mia latine:

Diodorus severus magister est, verberat discipulos virga sua. Is Quintum verberat virga, quod Quintus improbus discipulus est. Non Quintus modo est improbus, sed etiam alii discipuli, Sextus et Titus, quod non volunt considere cum magister inquit.

Nu, estantas tre seniluziige skribi frazojn latine pro la ega malfacileco krei unu ne sciante bazajn vortojn. De la sekva afiŝo pluen mi komencos serĉi la vortojn kiujn mi volas. Sen ili fariĝas tre malfacila skribi la plej simplan frazon. Ĝis la revido!

[brideofcthulhu10]

Okie doke so I have a lot of asks piled up but I’m gonna need to take my time with them. So in the meantime I’m gonna give you guys a few of my own personal writings while i weed through my writers block. I hope you can understand, I have fourteen prompts to get to but I am a little muddied on getting through each one. 

David Headcanons

Italian food used to be his favorite when he was alive. Santa Carla was flooded with immigrants from all over, especially a high concentration of Europeans so he had experienced real Italian cuisine from the few family owned joints that would come and go. When he was turned he tried to defy his vampire roots after learning that garlic didn’t hurt him- only to find out it didn’t hurt him EXTERNALLY. The tragic tango of pasta primavera in his stomach had him sick as a dog for days! Since he’s opted for other cuisines, but secretly he misses when he could freely ingest copious amounts of garlic

Outside of rock, David really loves classical music. Particularly foreign opera. Why? Because it is some of the most intense sounds you will ever hear. The melancholic arias of tortured souls left on the brink of tragedy soothe his untamed internal rage. However, he often doesn’t get to because as soon as he does Paul pitches a fit. 

“Aw whaaat? Classical? Who invited the old lady to the party?! “

“Will you shut up and let me listen to my music, asshole?”

“Ooooh excuse me! Yes of course, Lord Snooty von Dickweed. Would you care for your pet poodle and a plate of caviar? Hey! Maybe we can find your balls, dude”

Of course he could just kick him out but it’s far too much of a hassle. He’s genuinely pleased, albeit subtly so, when he managed to snatch up a walkman off a victim so he can listen to his music in peace. 

We’ve seen him smoke, but no one really gathers just what a chimney this guy is. David smokes practically every hour, when one burns out he just snags another. Any reason is a good reason to pull out a cigarette. Stressed? Smoke. Hungry? Smoke. Tired? Smoke. Happy? Smoke. But worst of all are his nicotine withdrawals. Seriously, do not approach him when he’s run out of cigarettes. It doesn’t matter who you are. Last time Paul tried to tease him while he was waiting for nightfall, David nearly threw him out into the sun. Withdrawal is far worse as a vampire than it was for him as a human.  His restless legs get far more jittery, his back can cramp, it’ll give him an agonizing headache, and his hunger is somehow amplified. 

Surprisingly, he can’t stand the 1931 film of Dracula with Bela Lugosi. Not that Lugosi doesn’t do a good job. In fact, it’s far too good. While not appearing visually the same as Vlad Dracul, the bastard who just so happened to be responsible for turning him and his friends back in 1906, his personality is extremely close. Just watching him slink in the shadows, waltzing about in that chilling Hungarian-Romanian accent boils David’s undead blood. If he’s going on the Universal monsters, he prefers Boris Karloff in Frankenstein. 

Over the years David has picked up Russian and French. When you’ve been unchanged in an abandoned wreckage of a hotel  for over eighty-one years, you learn to pick up a few things. Currently he’s learning German which he finds rather easy so far although he finds himself speaking a tad choppy at times. Sometimes he’ll use the wrong language and end up asking Paul to bring him the wine bottle of blood in Russian. Needless to say he was utterly confused and had to be retold in English.

Despite what one might assume, David does not enjoy having sex with multiple partners. Not polyamory, just sex in general. He finds that hollow humping up against some seasoned tart behind a bar before bidding adieu does nothing for him. If there’s no intense intimacy there’s less really keeping him invested. Now love isn’t exactly what is required, but there has to be some sort of connection to give him the desire to pursue a lover. Quality over quantity. Getting to know his partner is an exciting endeavor that allows him to take control, dominating him or her until they are utterly helpless to his will. A quick fuck is nothing but a way to kill time, which frankly he can find so many more productive things to do when he’s bored that require much more brain power and a lot less sticking himself in something, sorry, someone that he honestly doesn’t know where they’ve been. 

Halloween, of course, is his favorite time of year. However he also has a soft spot for Christmas. Frankly the whole peace on Earth and goodwill towards men crap makes him sick simply because no one had ever given a crap about him, but the entire feeling of it all did give him a sense of calm. The lights are a stunning sight for sure, and he'd even have a few less shitty humans mistaking him for one of the teen runaways living on the Santa Carla streets. Well, he wasn't , but he wasn't about to tell that to some sweet old lady handing out rusty tins of fresh brownies. Who the hell could waste brownies? Not him. His favorite memory goes back to 1904 when he and the boys managed to scrape up enough dough between pick pocketing gigs to share a room at a decent hotel. The managers wife even brought them up the leftovers from their own Christmas dinner, half a roast bird, a plate of rolls, a fat bowl of mashed potatoes and some gravy. They of course were grateful, and Paul couldn't help but flirt just to kiss ass. Dwayne got Paul a new knife, Marko got David this pretty swanky looking cigarette case he snatched off some rich dick who mistook him for a shoe shiner, David found some old iron ring they couldn't sell and gave it to Dwayne, and Paul got a few bottles of rum for them to get Yuletide hammered. Sure it didn’t sound like much of a big deal, but sitting on a real bed for once by a fireplace slamming back booze and roast chicken while whooping Marko’s ass in black jack was the first time in a long time he had genuinely laughed. Since then its been particularly blase, but Marko and Paul will often make a tradition out of a few bottles of booze, throwing some cheap decorations around the hotel, and they all spend the night playing card games over some take out roast chicken and a few quick sides.

some various david/dwayne hcs

they once made out in the theatre when they went to see dracula (david has the hots for bela lugosi and dwayne’s a universal monster movie fan)

before he learned how to ride a motorcycle david had to ride bitch with dwayne and complained about it the entire goddamn time

they were together for like 40 years and then. just amicably split up for seemingly no reason

every once in a while david decides he’s really into pda for the time being and they turn into the grossest couple you’ve ever seen (dwayne’s already pretty big on physical affection anyways)

before marko joined the group they pretty much only ever spent time with each other and were extremely (and unhealthily) codependent. this has gotten better over the years though

they’re very different people but they understand each other really well and it’s very rare that they’re not on the same page

david’s big on anniversaries but they don’t really have a specific date that they got together (it was more a slow transition from friends to a romantic relationship) so every year he just picks a new date and tells dwayne that’s when their anniversary is

the two of them have never shared a “room” (with heavy quotations) in the cave because they both like to have their own space

they almost always team up when the boys + star and laddie play a board game or card game together, cause david is ridiculously competitive and dwayne’s a pretty good strategist

david’s tried to teach dwayne how to sew several times over the years, but dwayne’s always just really bad at it

(The Waltz of Guilt: I was so enraptured with Suspiria that I failed to screengrab. IMDB is where I went.)

Nu-Suspiria vs Ur-Suspiria

Suspiria (2018) is a stately paced, grimly hued, intermittently gore drenched and impressively disciplined dance through generational guilt, the abuse of power and how monsters gestate within the everyday. It is the gloriously impossible cinematic bastard lovechild of The Red Shoes (1948) and Possession (1981). Fun stuff, bring the kids! Actually don’t, they’d only be bored and there’s also some proper rough stuff on show. Hoof! Oh aye, Suspiria is also an arthouse refurb of Dario Argento and Daria Nicolodi’s 1977 original. I loved the original sumptuously coloured frightmare, but I also adored the dourly garbed melancholic dancetastic update. Judging by the reception of Nu-Suspiria I am in a minority, luckily Nu-Suspiria has the courage of its convictions and dances like nobody is watching anyway. Nu-Suspiria dares to be different; it dares to be a Suspiria for the 21st century, and I liked it. I liked it a lot. Nu-Suspiria pays Ur-Suspiria the massive compliment of taking its skeleton and fleshing it anew with a vibrant, dark energy poached from history itself. Ur-Suspiria turned its back on reality with magnificently fanciful results. Nu-Suspiria faces reality full-on and the result is equally glorious, just… different. Vive la difference, yeah?

Follow That Dream (Into a Shower of Guts)!

It’s 1977 and young American lass Susie Bannion (Dakota Johnson; impressively limber) follows her dreams of the dancing life from her insular, artistically repressed Mennonite community to the insular, artistically uninhibited dance community of the Tanz Academie in Berlin. The Tanz Acadamie is a dance academy (obviously) and also a female commune, run by a number of mumsy figures. One of these, Madame Blanc (Tilda Swinton; icily precise), immediately recognises something special about the trembling ingénue and begins to prime Susie for a very special purpose. Whether that purpose is to dance up a storm for some OAPs at a Wednesday matinée or something far, far darker isn’t ever really in question. Pretty much everything else is in question; will Susie succumb, what happened to Patricia (Chloë Grace Moretz; doomed), can good come from evil, can you accept Tilda Swinton latexed up as an old man, why do good people go bad, why isn’t there more dancing in horror movies, and what’s with all this terrorism stuff anyway? 

Every Skull Wears a Smile.

Fans of old timey musicals and just plain old timers will note that in Suspiria, like many a waif in many a musical, Susie starts out with only her dreams and the shoes on her feet, but her untapped and untrained talent blossoms and astonishes her peers and tutors alike. Yes, superficially Suspiria shares much of the structure of lighter dance fare, with everything leading up to a climactic dance where Susie shows everyone just what she can do and steals the show. Just what Susie can do and quite how she steals the show, however, will come as a real eye opener, I think. Suspiria certainly flabbered my gast harder than anything starring Ginger Rogers ever did. Given the meaty sequins of horror stitched into the dark leotard of Suspiria this structural similarity can safely be taken as satire; it can definitely be taken as the closest Suspiria gets to comedy. Which is fair enough, Berlin in 1977 wasn’t exactly laughtertown. It being rife with terrorism and terrorism being a bit of a downer.

For One night Only: The Red Army Faction Dance Troupe!

That’s two mentions of terrorism so far, because it’s fundamental to Suspiria is why. The spectre of ‘70s terrorism saturates Suspiria and initially this is a bit puzzling. It’s as though every TV and every radio only carries reports of the seizing of a plane by the RAF (the Red Army Faction, not the Royal Air Force; I admit I was initially puzzled too). A few posters on the girls’ walls aside, the world of Suspiria is free of time specific pop culture references; all there is in the world of Suspiria is the terror within the Tanz Academie and the terrorism without.  It soon makes sense though. After all, as Jesus didn’t say, the terrorists will always be with us. They were with us in 1977. They were there before 1977 and they are with us still today. Different terrorists, but still terrorists. Evil evolves.

The Matryoshka Dolls of Evil.

And Suspiria, it becomes apparent, is all about how Evil may well evolve but its most reliable trick is to hollow people out and replace their essence with an adulterated doppelgänger. The mechanism for this, usually, being the abuse of power, and with the doings of the Tanz Academie matriarchs we see this in eerie action. What appears to be an egalitarian utopia is quickly revealed to be riven by factional infighting and, worse, the apparently benevolent den mothers are in fact parasites gorging on their wards’ youth and energy. The young are infected and corrupted from within until they echo the evil of their elders. As it is for satanic dance troupes, so it is for terrorists. As it is for terrorists, so it is for fascists.

Fake Face, Real Heart.

Yes, fascists, those massive arseholes without any redeeming features whatsoever. For in addition to terrorism, Suspiria is about the psychological scars marring Germany’s populace post WW2, that is, obviously, those who survived. Where there are survivors there is also guilt, alas. Dr. Josef Klemperer (Tilda Swinton in a wrinkly mask) is one such survivor. Now, it could be argued that Tilda Swinton made up like an old man is a bit too literal a personification of Suspiria’s core theme (basically: appearances are deceptive, yah?) to be anything other than laughable. But in Suspiria’s defence Tilda Swinton’s performance as an old man is kind of magnificent. Everyone else in Suspiria just seems (deliberately, I think) more like a symbol rather than a human being, except Tilda Swinton in a wrinkly mask. Klemperer’s search for the fate of his love, Anke (Jessica Harper; cameotastic), his acceptance of her fate and the price it extorts is Suspiria’s bone bleachingly sad illustration that only the good feel guilt. Evil couldn’t care less; that’s why it’s Evil. 

Fake Gore, Real Horrors.

Despite being a horror movie Suspiria isn’t about cartoon Evil. Bravely it takes on real world Evil; how it can happen and what it costs. There’s a lot of red meat on Suspiria’s bones, too much for some. Me, I suggest you get stuck right in and fill your boots. Somewhere in its unapologetically self-indulgent sprawl Suspiria baldly states one of its core propositions - that folk are all too eager to believe the worst is behind us; unless we learn from the past we should fear the future. And we never learn from the past. But the human dance isn’t over yet. In amongst its gore, pain and horror Suspiria dares to suggest we might just surprise ourselves before the final curtain falls.

TL;DR: Suspiria (2018) was awesome.

[useless-sloveniafacts]

The explanation of the Slovenian coat of arms by its creator, Marko Pogačnik (the full website is here; additionally, I have written about the coat of arms before).

[this is not an endorsement; transcription below:]

1::: Only a few people are aware that ten years ago I designed the coat of arms of the Republic of Slovenia as a cosmogram. “Cosmograms” are symbols that I use in my artistic practice of healing regions and cities whose natureal balance has been disturbed for some reason. The objective I wish to attain through my healing is encoded in the tissue of this cosmogram. I encode it intuitively with the help of the multi-layered language of fine arts.

As a cosmogram, Slovenia’s coat of arms also bears different layers of meaning. I explained them first in the text accompanying my proposal for the coat of arms ten years ago. I would like to draw your attention to them once more since I believe that a national coat of arms canot be understood or loved if some aspects of its meaning remain unknown. The Greek word “cosmogram” stands for “transcription of the whole”. I identify it with a genetic transcription of living creatures. The coat of arms is therefore a genetic transcription of Slovenia so that through its coat of arms Slovenia would present its very essence to the world and especially to the Slovenians themselves.

Šempas, 9.9.2001 Marko Pogačnik

2::: The primeval pattern of the Slovenian coat of arms can be traced back to the poem Krst pri Savici (The Baptism on the Savica) by France Pre'eren [sic] (1800-1848), in the first stanza dealing with the question of Slovenian originality and its transformation from Old Slavonic into European history:

The matching violence of man and cloud By darkling night is ended now, and bright Sunrise now gilds the threefold peaks unbowed [in yellow] Of Carniola's grey and snowbound height. [in red] All tranquil lie Lake Bohinj's waters proud, [in blue] Of battle now no trace remains in sight.

[yellow star] three golden stars [red star] three-headed mountain  ( Triglav ) [blue star] undulating lines

3::: It is no coincidence that Prešeren's Krst pri Savici takes place at the foot of Triglav. The Triglav landscape, including the Triglav Lakes, Bohinj, Ajdovski grades, and Bled, is the archetypal Slovenian landscape where the essence of Slovenian territory is encoded, like the image of a tree is encoded in its seed.

Triglav's energy field is like the mycelium of a mushroom spreading underground across the entire Slovenia.

4::: The Slovenian territory is characterised by three energy axes, beginning in the area of Triglav and running out to opposite ends of Slovenia.

The AXIS OF TOTALITY [in yellow]  - runs across the Primorsko region and Istria to the Kamenjak peninsula, flowing out into the Adriatic Sea. The AXIS OF CREATIVITY [in red]  - runs across the Gorenjsko region, the Ljubljana basin, the Dolenjsko region and Bela Krajina, where it runs out into the Kolpa river near Rosalnice. The AXIS OF TRANSFORMATION [in blue]  - runs across the Koroško, Štajersko and Prekmurje regions, flowing out at St. Vid by Bukovniško jezero Lake.

The three interconnected triangles representing the image of Triglav on the coat of arms symbolise the three main axes of Slovenian territory.

5::: The image of the Slovenian coat of arms was first encountered on Mary's column standing in front of the parish church at Bled, which was created by the architect Jože Plečnik in 1934. The reverse side of Mary's column features a chiselled out coat of arms of the then Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenians. Instead of the official coat of arms (a crescent with three stars), the artist created a coat of arms composed of the shape of Triglav and a six-pointed star above it.

[adding another picture of the column:

{x}]

6::: The three golden stars are taken from the coat of arms of the Counts of Celje, whose rule in the late Middle Ages united almost the entire Slovenian territory that is known today. The Counts of Celje inherited the stars from the Sternberg family from Strmec in the Koroško region.

7::: The European tradition has featured four elements of space:

FIRE [in yellow] (three golden stars) Fire is the bearer of spiritual incentives, therefore it symbolises the spiritual level. AIR [in blue] (blue sky) Air is the mental element and symbolises the level of consciousness and mental patterns. WATER [in blue] (double undulating line) Water symbolises the emotional level and the world of life sources. EARTH [in black] (three-headed mountain) Earth symbolises the level of matter and the world of shapes.

8::: The first message "Slovenia is a country where the sky and earth are interconnected and balanced." It strives to achieve a balance between the spiritual and material aspects at all levels of existence, which is the precondition for the harmonious development of nature and man. The composition marked in yellow symbolises a cosmic pyramid on the top and an earth pyramid on the bottom, which are connected in the lowest star

The second message "The masculine and feminine poles of existence are polarised and balanced, causing a creative charge which stimulates development and transformation in the country." The three red triangles mark the masculine principle and the two blue undulating lines symbolise the feminine principle.

9::: The key meaning of balance in the Slovenian coat of arms indicates Slovenia's role in Europe. Namely, Slovenia is the only country where four completely different sides of this continent meet.

Western Europe (the connection across the Alps) Eastern Europe (the continental climate in Prekmurje) The Mediterranean (the Adriatic coast) the [sic] Balkans (the Dinaric Karst)

By its geographical characteristics, Slovenia is a potential link in connecting different, often discordant faces of the European space, thinking and feeling. The Slovenian coat of arms has been conceived so it reveals Slovenia's role as the balancing centre of Europe.

10::: The coat of arms works on three energy fields that originate on the basis of a geometric rule on which the coat of arms has been constructed.

The coat of arms "inhales" the creative forces through a triangle of stars at the top.

When flowing through the coat of arms, the forces are refined with messages encoded in the coat of arms like in a cosmogramme.

The triangle at the bottom of the shield enables the coat of arms to "exhale" the forces imbued with the information about the Slovenian identity into space.

Review : Suspiria (2018)

I’m not going to lie... the first time I heard about the intentions to remake Suspiria, I was immediately in the ‘never that’ camp.  Some movies are so distinct and leave such and impression that it almost seems blasphemous to retread that ground.  I was completely set in my ways and ready to hate the film before I ever saw it.  Then, I saw a trailer.  All of those feelings of doubt and disgust went away, and were replaced by intrigue.  After what feels like ages, I’ve finally found the time to sit down and watch the 2018 version of Suspiria. 

The Markos Dance Company, located in a freshly divided Berlin, is preparing for their final performance of Volk, the signature dance performance that put them on the map.  Instead of celebrating what should be a joyous occasion while preparations and rehearsals take place, lead dancer Patricia Hingle (Chloe Grace Moretz) pays a visit to Dr. Josef Klemperer (Tilda Swinton) in hopes of holding together her fragile and quickly disintegrating psyche shortly before disappearing.  Most teachers from the dance company, including Miss Vendegast (Ingrid Caven), one of the more vocal teachers, insist to the remaining dancers that Hingle has joined the terrorist efforts taking place in the city, but her best friend and fellow dancer Sara Simms (Mia Goth) refuses to accept that as truth.  Meanwhile, new arrival Susie Bannion (Dakota Johnson) arrives at the school from Ohio in hopes of making a mark, and finds her chance by stepping into the lead role that Hingle occupied.  Lead instructor Madame Blanc (Swinton) takes an interest in her, but the questions about Hingle linger within the company.  Dr. Klemperer dives headlong into the investigation of discovering Hingle’s whereabouts, and along the way, he discovers the lore of the Markos Dance Company, specifically the idea that it is secretly a coven of witches.  As Susie prepares herself to take the lead, a power struggle forms among the coven, causing strange occurrence after strange occurrence, as well as an avalanche of secrets and mysteries that will drastically alter the lives of all connected.

From nearly the opening moments, this movie inundates you with visual trickery and haunting audio, yanking you firmly into the world of the Markos Dance Company.  The ability for individuals to ‘transmit’ both themselves and their intentions, as well as the ability to seemingly share a visual connection with others when not outright shifting from one space to another, are all hinted at before the film even hits double digit run-time, and yet, the witches feel incredibly grounded and realistic.  The audience is placed into mostly voyeuristic perspectives, as if we are a fly on the wall seeing things would should not be seeing.  The tone of the film sits squarely in the middle-ground of the beautiful and the grotesque, especially when the supernatural aspects kick into high gear.  While the real moments are captivating, the dream sequences are simply stunning, right down to the fascinating ‘dancing light’.  Most importantly, all of the dancing is impressive and extremely believable.

The choice to turn the film into a period piece set opposite a newly divided Berlin stacks even more sinister nature on top of what is already a firmly sinister story.  Occult and illuminati symbolism is found all throughout the film, adding to an already rich visual language of film and dance that that form a three-pronged connective thread that hurls the narrative forward at breakneck speed, even with the film’s deliberate pacing.  Using the political turmoil of the times as a foil to mask the truth about the secrets within the dance company is a stroke of brilliance, and the ending is one that must be seen to be believed.   

The recital style presentation also works wonderfully, with the movie being ‘presented in six acts with an epilogue’.  Thom Yorke is an unseen star in the film, making his presence wholly felt via a haunting score that fits in so well that it is almost unnoticeable at times until your brain snaps out of its hypnotic state.  The makeup and special effects teams deserve tons of credit for all of the magic they pulled off, especially for Tilda Swinton.  Familiar aspects of the original film are present in this remake, but they are all turned on their head and played for fear rather than for style.  Certain scenes are downright magic tricks, especially the free-floating 360-degree camera moves in the mirror room.  The writing is stellar, and the actors dive into headlong, making lines like ‘we must break the nose of everything beautiful’ resonate long after the credits are finished rolling.  The costuming for the film is wonderful, especially the outfits for the Volk dance number.  The production design is standout as well, making every aspect of (and location within) the school that much grander and crazier.

Tilda Swinton is far and away the star of this film, turning in riveting and captivating performances in a trio of roles, two of which occupy major amounts of screen-time.  Dakota Johnson brings an intuitive nature to the table, presenting herself as an open nerve and an unknowing/unwilling tool of powerful witches, while asserting herself as a truly passionate dancer.  Mia Goth and her concern for her missing friend drives her frantic and paranoid performance.  Ingrid Caven stands out in a large coven of witches with her ever-present, hovering nature that makes her subtly dominant nature that much more powerful.  The grouping of Sylvie Testud, Renee Soutendijk, Christine LeBoutte, Malgosia Bela, Alek Wek, Jessica Batut, Vincenza Modica and Brigitte Cuvelier as the remaining teachers/witches works well despite their minimal dialogue... their powerful gazes and ability to present their psychic connection as real on screen more than justifies their mostly silent presence in the film.  Appearances by Chloe Grace Moretz, Elena Fokina, Fabrizia Sacchi, and a special appearance by Jessica Harper (star of the original) round out the incredible cast.

Luca Guadagnino should give classes on how to execute remakes based solely on what he’s done with the stellar Suspiria.  He took a cult classic with amazing aspects, hinted at those, but dug deeper into the lore to make the narrative the star, rather than the looks and production.  For this, he deserves the utmost praise, and in my opinion, both films can stand next to one another as bonafide classics.
