A One Direction fic rec of fics in which one of the characters is messy or unkempt in some way as requested in this ask. If you enjoy the fics, please leave kudos and comments for the writers! You can find my other recs here. Happy reading!
- Louis / Harry -
✧ Remember Me Before You by @kingsofeverything
(E, 293k, New Girl au) Desperate to find a new place to live after he comes home to find his boyfriend cheating, Harry moves into a loft with three strangers.
✧ Let's Fall in Love in a Place You Want to Stay by embro / @harryventura
(NR, 134k, Tarzan au) A George of the Jungle / Tarzan AU where Louis is a model who meets Wild Man Harry in the Congo.
✧ more than just a dream by spit_on_me_larry
(E, 122k, uni) Louis detests Harry Styles. Except for the inconvenient fact that he can't seem to get Harry out of his head.
✧ That’s What I’m Here For by @taggiecb
(E, 46k, farm) Louis Tomlinson is a dairy farmer on a tiny farm in eastern Canada. Louis needs help running his business but has no idea where to even start looking. Luckily for him his children know just the man for the job.
✧ baby blue by @soldouthaz
(E, 39k, cowboy) He saunters down the front steps of the farmhouse in his Levi’s, brown snakeskin boots curving out from underneath the denim Louis’ sure he had specially made. He’s got on a plaid button-down tucked into the jeans because of course he does, curls spilling out from either side of his cowboy hat around his sunglasses and country-tan skin.
✧ Lambing Season by @helloamhere
(E, 24k, farm) lambing season brings sleep deprivation, noisy alarms, cold barns, demanding animals, and warm strangers.
✧ The Wilds (series) by @jaerie
(E, 21k, omegaverse) The creatures that Louis observed every day weren't exactly human, but yet they were. Researchers had plucked some of them from their secluded island and transplanted them into an enclosure against their will like a bunch of zoo animals.
✧ some evening in springtime by delsicle / @eeveelou
(M, 20k, age difference) Fresh out of veterinary school, Louis moves to a sleepy small town in Texas to take over the local animal clinic. But his new life is quickly interrupted by a middle aged rancher with a bad leg and a mysterious past, who really needs Louis's yoga skills.
✧ let me be your goodnight by theboyfriendstagram
(E, 17k, hate to love) Harry lives with Gemma who happens to have the worst best friend in the world. The guy stays over almost every night, is completely messy and has bad manners that would cause Harry's eyes to roll so far back he sees his brain.
✧ Prince Harry and the Expert in Motorcycle Maintenance by @juliusschmidt
(E, 15k, omegaverse) cinderella au in which prince harry rides a motorcycle and louis, a simple mechanic, fixes it.
✧ A Light Illuminated (Calling You Home) by LadyLondonderry / @londonfoginacup
(T, 14k, royal) Louis has inherited a farm from an uncle he barely knew. It's not in the best state, and he's facing the reality of having to let some of the workers go if profits don't drastically improve. It's not a nice idea.
✧ say forever, you'll be mine by dilfrry / @silverfoxrry
(E, 12k, age difference) the trucker harry fic i wrote for my own guilty pleasure
✧ it's hard to fight naked by amaltaas / @loustarlight
(E, 11k, enemies to lovers) where Louis leaves dirty socks on the couch, Zayn does assignments while he's high, and Harry is hopelessly crushing on his roommate.
✧ rinse cycle by beautlouis / @thelovejandles
(E, 10k, humor) Louis and Harry are both students living in the same apartment complex. They end up having the same laundry night and time. Louis can't stop staring at Harry and he can't figure out why Harry consistently points out Louis’ inside-out shirts, and his untied shoes, and messy hair.
- Rare Pairs -
✧ I Had Rather Hear My Dog Bark At A Crow by sunsetmog / @magicalrocketships
(E, 122k, Louis/Nick Grimsahw) The first time Louis Tomlinson kisses him, Nick is three sheets to the wind, wearing a pirate hat, and so fucking tired of Louis being a complete and utter knobhead that he's spent the last ten minutes snapping at him.
✧ in your hands by carissima
(M, 13k, Liam/Louis) Liam’s decided to play dress up for this session and has somehow stumbled on Louis’ favourite fantasy. Mechanic Liam, dirty, rough and smelling of cars and sweat, looking ready to mess Louis the fuck up.

idk where else to write this. im making a video that will be posted during black history month (about Jordan Peele's "Nope", unrelated) and i've been consuming a lot of media about black history and its' effect on the black diaspora. i just finished grabbing clips of those living through slavery in the Democratic Republic of Congo and i'm trying to sit down with how i felt after watching the documentary from Sky News, and compiling media of Ota Benga, human zoos, cotton slavery, cowboy slavery and the only way I can describe how I'm feeling is devastated.
i'm shocked at how the world has and still does treat Africans. I'm fed up and frustrated. From the comfort of my room in a first world country that my parents worked their asses off to get us to, all I can do is make a video. I ask myself not 'how do we fix this' but how can we grieve when there hasn't even been space to breathe?
#vee#i just idk im going to finish editing this and hopefully i'll have something productive to add#rest in power#black history month

History Of Shattuckite
History Of Shattuckite
Introduction History Of Shattuckite, Shattuckite is a rare and vivid blue mineral found in copper deposits, often mixed with other copper minerals such as Azurite, Chrysocolla, Dioptase, and Malachite. Most of the crystals on the market come from either the Sonoran desert of the American Southwest or the Kalahari desert in southern Africa. The crystal was named after Lemuel C. Shattuck, a saloon keeper, cowboy, and miner in the Wild West. Shattuckite is a copper silicate hydroxide mineral with the chemical formula Cu5(SiO3)4(OH)2. It crystallizes in the orthorhombic dipyramidal crystal system and usually occurs in a granular massive form and also as fibrous acicular crystals. It is closely allied to plancheite in structure and appearance. Shattuckite is often used in spiritual and healing celebrations due to its association with the Moon's energy and its perceived ability to promote balance, harmony, and peace. It is also believed to be helpful for women who are experiencing hormonal imbalances or PMS, making it a significant stone in celebrations related to women's health and well-being. Shattuckite is also valued for its aesthetic appeal, and specimens are highly sought after in the world of mineral collecting due to its beautiful, rich blue and green-blue colors, along with its fibrous and botryoidal textures, making it a prized addition to mineral collections. History Of Shattuckite Shattuckite holds historical significance in the field of mineralogy and geology because of its initial discovery at the Shattuck Mine in Bisbee, Arizona, a prominent mining district in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, known for its rich deposits of various copper minerals. Shattuckite is a remarkable mineral known for its stunning color and unique crystal formations. It was discovered and recognized as a new mineral species in 1915 and is found in various localities, including Austria, Democratic Republic of Congo, Greece, Namibia, and the United States (Arizona, California, Nevada, New Mexico). Who First Discovered Shattuckite As A Mineral? Shattuckite was first discovered in 1915 in the copper mines of Bisbee, Arizona, specifically at the Shattuck Mine, which is why it was named after this location. The discovery is credited to W.T. Schaller, an American mineralogist who served as Chief Mineralogist of the United States Geological Survey. Shattuckite is a relatively rare copper silicate mineral that forms in fibers, masses, and acicular crystals, and it is often found near or in association with other copper minerals such as Malachite, Chrysocolla, Turquoise, and Ajoite. What Is The Significance Of Shattuckite's Discovery? The discovery of shattuckite holds significant historical and mineralogical importance. Shattuckite was first officially discovered in 1915 by Waldemar T. Schaller at the Shattuck Mine in Bisbee, Arizona, USA. This discovery marked the identification of a new and rare copper silicate hydroxide mineral, which has since become highly valued for its vibrant blue and green-blue colors, as well as its unique crystal formations. The Shattuck Mine, known for its rich deposits of various copper minerals, became a notable site for the initial finding of shattuckite, adding to the region's mineralogical significance. History Of Shattuckite The discovery of shattuckite at the Shattuck Mine contributed to the expansion of mineralogical knowledge and the understanding of copper mineral formations. This rare and visually striking mineral has since captured the attention of mineral collectors and enthusiasts due to its aesthetic appeal and unique properties. Its association with the Shattuck Mine in Bisbee, Arizona, has further enhanced its historical and geological significance, solidifying its place in the realm of mineralogy and geology. Is Shattuckite Considered A Rare Gemstone? Shattuckite is considered a relatively rare gemstone. It is highly valued for its vibrant shades of blue to blue-green coloring and is not found abundantly. The rarity of shattuckite contributes to its uniqueness and value as a gemstone. High-quality shattuckite specimens with vivid, well-defined crystal structures and intense blue or green-blue hues can command relatively high prices in the mineral market. Rare or exceptional pieces may be particularly valuable to collectors and investors. Shattuckite is found in a limited number of locations around the world, and its rarity, aesthetic appeal, and unique properties all contribute to its desirability and value within the world of minerals and gemstones. How Is Shattuckite Formed In Nature? Shattuckite is formed as a secondary mineral through the alteration of other secondary minerals. Specifically, at the Shattuck Mine in Bisbee, Arizona, shattuckite forms pseudomorphs after malachite. A pseudomorph is an atom-by-atom replacement of a crystal structure by another crystal structure, with little alteration of the outward shape of the original crystal. This process results in the formation of shattuckite from the alteration of the original mineral structure, contributing to its unique composition and appearance. Shattuckite typically occurs in a granular massive form and as fibrous acicular crystals, and it is closely allied to plancheite in structure and appearance. The mineral is a copper silicate hydroxide and is often found near or in association with other copper minerals such as Malachite, Chrysocolla, Turquoise, and Ajoite. Shattuckite's formation and its association with other copper minerals contribute to its rarity and aesthetic appeal. Can Shattuckite Be Found In Jewelry? Shattuckite can indeed be found in jewelry, although it is considered relatively rare and not abundantly available in the market. Shattuckite is often mixed with quartz and is commonly seen in cabochon cuts, showcasing its rich blue color. Despite its rarity, shattuckite is utilized in jewelry creations, and it can be found available through retail platforms. The unique and vibrant shades of blue to blue-green coloring of shattuckite make it an attractive choice for jewelry enthusiasts and collectors. It is often used in cabochon cuts for pendants, earrings, bracelets, and other ornamental pieces, adding a distinctive and captivating presence to jewelry designs. Uses Of Shattuckite In Jewelry Based on the information from various sources, shattuckite is utilized in jewelry for its captivating and distinctive properties. Here are some key points about the uses of shattuckite in jewelry: Appearance and Appeal Shattuckite is often mixed with quartz and is commonly seen in cabochon cuts, showcasing its rich blue color. Its arresting color palette makes it a standout choice for jewelry enthusiasts and collectors, and its unique hues and patterns make it a favorite among gem enthusiasts and jewelry designers. Care and Handling Protective settings are recommended for shattuckite jewelry to prevent scratches or breakage, and it should not be cleaned with chemical-heavy products, Availability and Suitability Shattuckite is appreciated by collectors and is often cut as cabochons, polished slices, or tumbled nuggets, although it is noted to be quite soft, with a low rating on the Mohs scale, making it less suitable for jewelry or other ornamental use. Despite its softness, shattuckite is often cut as a cabochon and made into jewelry, conveying freshness and promoting flexibility. Metaphysical Properties Shattuckite is believed to promote honest communication, bestow loving understanding, and improve communication abilities, making it a meaningful choice for jewelry with metaphysical significance. Shattuckite's unique appearance, rarity, and metaphysical properties make it a captivating and versatile choice for jewelry making, offering both aesthetic appeal and potential metaphysical benefits. History Of Shattuckite Uses of Shattuckite In Modern times In modern times, shattuckite is valued for its diverse range of uses, particularly in the realms of emotional, physical, and spiritual healing. Here are some key uses of shattuckite in modern contexts: Emotional and Spiritual Healing Shattuckite is believed to provide protection and healing from past emotional wounds, infusing the wearer with resilience, wisdom, and emotional balance. It is associated with promoting harmony in relationships, lowering aggression and impulsivity, and facilitating honest yet compassionate expression of one's truth. The stone is considered to be incredibly spiritual, aiding in meditation and establishing a foundation for spiritual growth. Metaphysical Properties Shattuckite is thought to promote clear communication, self-expression, and spiritual growth, resonating strongly with the Throat and Third Eye Chakras. It is believed to encourage pragmatism, problem-solving, and the recognition of imbalances, as well as to assist in unlocking psychic abilities and enhancing intuition. Jewelry and Aesthetic Appeal Shattuckite's captivating color palette and unique hues make it a standout choice for jewelry enthusiasts and collectors, often used in cabochon cuts for pendants, earrings, and bracelets. Its relatively stable color over time and with exposure to light makes it a reliable choice for jewelry that retains its beauty. Cultural and Symbolic Significance Shattuckite's metaphysical meanings and healing properties have garnered attention in alternative therapeutic practices, contributing to its growing popularity in modern healing and spiritual contexts. Shattuckite's modern uses encompass a wide range of applications, from emotional and spiritual healing to its aesthetic appeal in jewelry, reflecting its significance in contemporary holistic and metaphysical practices.

*****
Christians have been warning about the Anti-Christ for 2,000 years. When he finally shows up, they vote for him. ** Many in politics seem to believe that shameless is a super power.** Scary Clown 45 continues with his racist speak, this time telling us that the blood is being poisoned. Colbert quipped that the real poisoning is people dipping pizza in ranch dressing. I agree that that is wrong. I will never understand that. I have a sister that dips.

Anthony Anderson will host the Emmy’s. ** Days of Our Lives won nothing on the Daytime Emmy’s. If it weren’t for Alley Mills winning a guest Emmy for GH, the show would have been pretty bleak. Yikes!!* *Kevin Frazier and Nischelle Turner hosted. Most of the people seen were part of the CBS family since that is who broadcast it. GH won most everything.

*****
When they make the movie of Lisa Marie’s life, I vote for Natalie Portman to play the lead!!
*****
The Daily show has been thinking of ways to get ahead on the Presidential election. One idea is to make Hunter Biden cool because of all his partying ways. He has been indicted on 7 different charges. The man spent a lot of $ on blow and women. It reminds me a bit of GW Bush and how comedy capitalized on his former partying and made Gore look like a boar. Another idea is that far left liberals and groups like Black Lives matter should suddenly declare their loyalty to Trump and start showing up for his events. The right always runs if they think the greenies like it. If we pretend to love his ideas, they will start to wonder and eventually run away.
*****
The Philippines had a 7.5 earthquake.

*****
The National Board of Review chose Flowers of the Killer Moon as best film of the year.
*****
Sexual assault news: More women are coming forward to sue Sean Combs.** Tommy Lee has been sued for sexual assault.** Jonathon Majors was found guilty of the assault and harassment of Grace Jabbari.** Vin Diesel has been charged with sexual battery, emotional distress and a hostile work environment.** Danny Masterson headed off to prison.** Jermaine Jackson has been sued for sexual assault.** Christian Ziegler is being investigated for sexual assault.** Paula Abdul has sued Nigel Lythgoe for multiple sexual assaults.
*****
Why is Meghan McCain always bitchin’ about something or does the press just like to portray that side? **I do not understand why Trump and all his peeps are soo unhappy all the time. The complaining never seems to end. If they actually worked on problems and came up with some real policy, perhaps they would be a little happier and get things done besides tax breaks for the wealthy. These are not the strong, proud conservatives that I used to know. The big change was with Nixon. He was a whiner too. * * And why do they keep saying Trump does not mean what he says? We all know that he does. ** It appears that so many people believe things that make no sense and won’t accept the norm. Everybody is suddenly Les Nessman!
*****
Cher filed for conservatorship of her son Elijah.
*****
Will we end up with a Presidential run with 2 women? Haley vs. Harris.??
*****
So, it seems that Robert Kennedy was also a friend to Jeffrey Epstein.
*****
Kevin McCarthy is dropping out of congress at the end of the year. Did ya see the Robert Costa interview? Why does he smile like a lovesick teenager whenever Trumps name is mentioned?
*****
Kelsey Grammer gave a BBC interview in which he talked of his love for Trump. The Paramount+ rep shut down the interview.

Pete Davidson cancelled all his shows until Jan. 6.

Will Disney sell ABC to get some cash??** Steamboat Willie hits public domain. Disney himself used that domain often. In the near future, the domain will reach The Wizard of Oz, Donald Duck and Gone With the Wind. I think people will have a field day with GWTW. *****
After Midnight is the new late- night show on CBS.
*****
So John Schneider told us all that Biden should be hung. He may now be under investigation from the secret service. I would hope so after the outrageousness that happened to Kathy Griffin. Fair is fair.
*****
McDonald’s is starting to roll out Cosmc’s. It starts in Illinois then moves to Texas. The smaller biz will specialize in drinks like coffee and smoothies.
*****
Hulk Hogan got baptized.
*****
A woman, Laneisha Henderson, tried to burn down Martin Luther King’s childhood home.
*****
Banksy dropped some artwork in London. The stop sign with 3 military drones was stolen and 2 men have been arrested.
*****
Losing Tommy Smothers made me watch Smothered: The censorship struggles of the Smothers Brothers Comedy Hour. There are so many parallels to today discussed on that show. Quote from the movie: “In 1968, it was like the country was having a nervous breakdown.” Sound familiar? It really is the same divided vibe as the country had then. Trump is our Vietnam, he and his have torn the country apart. Half the country wants s Trump world, the other half wants democracy. Things aren’t as generational as they were then or even the haves and have nots struggle but that is there. The racism is still front and center. We still disagree about our role in foreign problems.

There is a new sub-genre emerging in recent years, realistic dramas about live-in maids and domestic workers (Many from South America and from South-East Asia: 'Lina from Lima', 'The second mother', 'La Nana', 'Roma', 'La cieniga', 'A simple life', and also others I haven't seen). Most are terrific, and so is this one, with 100% score on Rotten Tomatoes.
[That Wikipedia list of movies with 100% score on RT is often a reliable indicator for the type of fair I like to spend my time with]. Highly recommended - 9/10.

2 more by Aki Kaurismäki:
🍿 My 10th tragic feature by him, and possibly my favorite, The match factory girl. The great Kati Outinen is a sad and lonely young woman who has a one-night stand. Minimalist, bleak and unrelenting, this was no Hans Christian Andersen fairy tale. Considered by some as the "Best Finnish film". 9/10.
🍿 To Each His Own Cinema, a 2007 anthology of 34 3-minute shorts by different directors about how movies inspired them. Takeshii Kitano, the Dardenne brothers, Zhang Zimou, Jane Campion, Atom Egoyan, Gus Van Sant, Lars von Trier, Roman Polanski, Michael Cimino, David Cronenberg, Wong Kar-wai, Ken Loach, Claude Lelouche, David Lynch, Etc. It was commissioned to celebrate 60th anniversary of The Cannes Film Festival.
The often-repetitive stories were about old cinema houses out in the country, ticket taking, projectionists, watching Bresson and Fellini in small villages, and similar wet dreams for cineastes. A nice touch was that the credits were shown only at the end of each short, so you could try to guess who directed it while watching.
Most of the films were not very good. Among the few stand outs were Hou Hsiao-hsien (A family in 1940s Taiwan goes to see a film in a suddenly decrepit theater), Aki Kaurismäki (Foundry workers on lunch break enjoy a Lumiére silent film of workers on lunch break), Abbas Kiarostami (Iranian women watch 'Romeo and Juliet' and cry), Wim Wenders (The inhabitants of a remote Congo village watch Black Hawk Down) and The Coen Brothers (A cowboy resembling Llewellyn Moss at a repertory art house, debating if he should see Renoir or Nuri Bilge Ceylon).
🍿
Ridley Scott's first stream-of-consciousness film, Boy and Bicycle. Made in 1962, when he was 23, and starring his 16 year old brother, Tony [who would jump to his death from the San Pedro Bridge exactly 50 years later]. A boy skips school, and wanders round the empty docks of his West Hartlepool industrial seaside town. Like a working class scene from 'Dubliners'.
It took Ridley 15 years before he was able to direct his next movie, during which time he specialized in producing commercial advertising. His most famous one, The bike Ride, an advert for bread, also featured a boy on a bike. It was later voted as the 'Best British Advert of all time'.
🍿
My 7th and 8th films by Sofia Coppola:
🍿 Priscilla, another pretty young woman living in a privileged gilded cage (like Coppola's herself did). A beautiful romance without sex, and with an oppressive power imbalance. "The Elvis" and the 14 year old girl [and without a single Elvis song]. 7/10.
🍿 In her shallow The Bling Ring, a group of celebrities-wannabes Valley Girls burgles from Hollywood celebrities homes, and become mini-celebrities themselves. It was pretty, but I couldn't find any deeper meaning there.
🍿
Danish cinema produced dozens of 'Danish Noir' works in the 1940's, during the Nazi occupation, and the 1950's. Mordets melodi ("Melody of murder") is considered Denmark's first horror film, and is my first movie directed by the great Bodil Ipsen. [The Danish "Oscars" are actually called "The Bodil's" after her and the other female influencer, Bodil Kjer].
Like Fritz Lang's 'M', a crazed, ambi-sexual killer continues to strangle women while singing a luring French cabaret song, and the dark, dramatic sets are visually stark.
🍿
Bradley Cooper's new adulatory bio-pic Maestro, about the larger-than-life, overbearing genius that was Leonard Bernstein. Uncanny recreation of his life, but mostly his bisexuality vs. his love for his wife and family. Carey Mulligan was tremendous in it. So was Gustav Mahler. This is the year of the “Great Man” in movies, Napoleon, Oppenheimer, Ferrari, Bernstein… (Photo Above).
🍿
First-watch earlier Buñuel X 2:
🍿 Nazarin, Buñuel‘s own favorite work, about a saintly priest, who mistakenly tries to follow in Christ's footsteps. But all his literal interpretations of the dogmas are proven to lead him, as well as his small coterie of freaks and miscasts, into misfortunes. One of the last of his Mexican films, this religious parable is the one that convinced the Spanish censors to allow him to return from exile.
🍿 Bunuel's only documentary (pseudo-documentary rather), Land Without Bread, describing (exaggerated) misery in a remote Spanish town. Extreme poverty, hunger and destitute rarely seen on film.
🍿
Dil Dhadakne Do is an Indian soap opera, staged on a first-class Turkish cruise ship in the Mediterranean, directed by a woman, and narrated by a dog. It's a 3-hour long American-style 'Rich and famous' sit-com of a large family, full of expected love intrigues of bland characters.
I was hoping for another hopping Song and Dance story, but there were only 3 dance numbers in it, Gallan Goodiyaan, Girls like to dance and the final credit scene.
🍿
3 atypical Christmas fairy tales:
🍿 My second unusual anime by Satoshi Kon, Tokyo Godfathers (after 'Paprika'). An imaginative Christmas Miracle parable of The Three Magis. Except that here they are three unlikely homeless heroes, an alcoholic, a trans woman, and a teenage runaway who likes to spit on people from above. They discover an abandoned newborn while searching through the garbage for presents. Emotional and unorthodox. 8/10.
🍿 The Bloody Olives, a Belgian meta Film Noir of a husband, his wife and her lover who keep murdering each other again and again while decorating their Christmas tree. Full of twists and double crosses.
🍿 "One morning, as Gregor Samsa woke from troubled dreams, he found himself transformed in his bed into a giant banana..."
Malcolm Tucker's Oscar-winning parody Franz Kafka's It's a Wonderful Life was not too convincing: It's too easy to parody Kranz Fuckfuck.
🍿
First watch: Truffaut's second installment of the Antoine Doinel's saga, Antoine and Colette. The boy of '400 Blows' is now 17, and awkwardly falls in love for the first time. Youthfully charming.
🍿
2 by Norwegian Kristoffer Borgli:
🍿 The first half of Dream scenario had me in stitches: Such an original thought experiment, and so unhesitatingly fresh. But exactly at mid-point, when everybody's dreams turn into nightmares, the story progressed into a underwhelming flirtation with broader contemporary themes, fame, cancel culture, public perception. The only anchor left in Paul's life is memories of his lovely wife, Julianne Nicholson. 6/10.
🍿 Checking out his only previous feature, Sick of Myself: That too was a story with an intriguing premise that opened very strong, end completely fizzled halfway. A young barista lives anonymously and unnoticed, being ignored by her self-centered boyfriend and acquaintances. One day at work, a woman is being mauled by a dog and she's the only one jumping to help her. While covered in blood, she is suddenly the center of attention. The rush causes her to start an insane dive into self-mutilation. The second half centered on narcissism, influencers, victimhood and social media, and was highly disappointing. My 5th film with Anders Danielsen Lie. 4/10.
🍿
"Chip, you know how I hate the brown word"...
My first black comedy from John Waters' commercial period, Serial mom.
With Waters regulars Chesty Morgan, Tracy Lords, Mink Stole, Patty Hearst and Ricky Lake [But it could do better with less Fat jokes]. Also, with a lawyer named Nazelrod and a panties-sniffer named Marvin Pickles. The hot rock and roll girl band is called Camel Lips. So the anti-establishment humour is very elementary.
🍿
“I Didn’t Come To Rescue Rambo From You. I Came Here To Rescue You From Him”…
First watch: I did not expect Rambo: first blood to be that watchable, with such excellent Jerry Goldsmith score. A traumatized Vietnam vet feels spat on and maligned. And all the years I thought it but a thoughtless, jingoistic violent flick.
🍿
3 more stand-ups:
🍿 Trevor Noah: Where Was I, his latest stand-up opens with his best line upfront: "I really enjoy every day in America right now. The same way you'd enjoy your last day on earth". It has a few other good jokes, but otherwise it's pretty tame. The venue, The Fox Theater in Detroit, looks magnificent. 4/10
🍿 Sane man, my first stand-up with heavy-smoker, politically incorrect Bill Hicks. I heard the name before, but never seen him perform.
🍿 So, for the second time in a week, I re-watched Dave Gorman’s Googlewhack Adventure, a contagiously funny presentation.
🍿
4 Shorts:
🍿 Agnès Varda's Les Fiancés du pont Mac Donald, a Harold Lloyd and Buster Keaton-inspired silent comedy from 1962. With JL Godard and Anna Karina.
🍿 Re-watch: From David Firth's, the creator of 'Salad Fingers', the unsettling Cream. Inventing a single solution to all of the world's problems.
The credit page at the end is just as hilariously expansive as the bitter story itself.
🍿 Figs, a gentle 81-year-old black woman who survived a life of oppression, from the cotton fields of Louisiana to becoming a teacher in South Los Angeles.
🍿 The girl with the yellow stockings, a light German story of a young man asking his girlfriend to marry him again and again.
🍿
One I couldn't finish even after trying hard for nearly 20 minutes: The toothless, 1990's Clintonite-lite, political romance Speechless. Trying to cash in on the then real-life hookup between James Carville and Mary Matalin, it was awful on every level.
🍿
