“Not long after Vivien’s death, Gertrude and Jack received letters from Consuelo Langton-Lockton, who had cast Vivien's horoscope as early as 1938. She was anxious to ‘expose herself’ as a channel for any messages Vivien’s spirit might wish to convey from across the divide….Vivien returned to her. This proved a highly emotional session, during which Vivien continually asked how Larry was…it was Olivier who was drawing her back to earth. She was begging for forgiveness and wanted Olivier to know she loved him still. The channel concluded, 'If he should 'go’, she will be waiting. Love is stronger than death- and things get sorted out on that side. Thank God.”

Much love to our fallen heroes—enjoy your sojourn in the shadow realm. (A certain Fredric March is waiting for you.) Round 3 will be up on Saturday morning and probably last all weekend.

Like last time, additional propaganda for me to possibly add to the poll posts can be sent to my asks in the interim between now (Tuesday night) and the night of the 18th. I will take video links, photos, and text propaganda, but not gifs (save those for your reblog propaganda). As a reminder, send these to my asks, not my private messages or submissions—and check the guidelines in the pinned post before you send in!

This was a fun round but absolutely BRUTAL. Thank you all for being here—I'm so, so happy reading your comments, seeing your fancams, talking with you guys in the notes. This is lovely because of you.

See you this weekend!

I was trying to find a gif of Laurence Olivier in Marathon Man because I have spent the week doing my health and safety rep training.

Granted it’s not quite as torturous as Marathon Man but the phrase “is it safe” is now ingrained in my mind.

Wuthering Heights (1939)

"Note how the light plays on Cathy's face while Heathcliff's remains in shadow as they look through the window at the ball in the neighbor's mansion; the whole approaching conflict is given in the lighting." -- Franz Hoellering in a review of Wuthering Heights (1939)

Pride and Prejudice, 1940. Great movie! I could have posted the entire preview but my gif addiction took over.
