“I believe in Pasolini the filmmaker almighty … creator of Salo and Mamma Roma … who was conceived by Marx … born of the future spirit of Maria Callas … suffered under the Catholic church … was assassinated and buried unguilty … blessed art thou amongst directors and blessed is the root of thy doomed Jesus … Pasolini will answer our prayers, every single one of them!”
/ From Prayer to Pasolini by John Waters /
Born on this day 101 years ago: doomed highly politicized radical Italian queer filmmaker and poet Pier Paolo Pasolini (5 March 1922 - 2 November 1975). The visionary Pasolini’s films like Accattone (1961), Mamma Roma (1962) and Teorema (1968) are sacred texts in European art cinema. I recommend everyone pick up a particularly rough Italian rent boy today in Pasolini’s memory (at your own risk!) and listen to spoken word piece Prayer to Pasolini (2021) by ultra-fan / disciple John Waters on Spotify.

when marc can't take care of himself, valentino steps in.
a valentino rossi/marc marquez fic for beloved @carlosheinz <3 self care is hard but we're not alone and i hope you know that <3
read on ao3
(for tw check the tags)
Valentino can’t stand Marc.
It’s a constant feeling nestled between his third and fourth rib, but the intensity varies. On a good day, Valentino simply ignores Marc. On a bad day, Valentino wants to get his hands around his neck and squeeze until the tendons crack under his knuckles. He got a taste of it in 2014. He hasn’t been able to stop thinking about it since. What would have happened if there were no cameras around them?
Marc’s bad luck starts in 2020 and it doesn’t stop. A bad day for Marc means a bad day for Valentino. A bad year for Marc translates into a bad year for Valentino. It’s worse than 2015, more difficult to swallow than 2018. Valentino wants to scream until he runs out of breath and chokes to death.
2022 is the worst of it all. Marc moves to Madrid to speed up his recovery, and it leaves Valentino baffled and a little irritated. The big city won’t be able to replace the things he gets for granted in the countryside: the quiet, the nature, the clean air.
Marc moves to Madrid and Valentino follows against his better judgment. Madrid is fucking insane, but so is driving 20 hours from Tavullia. At least, when Marc doesn’t answer his phone, he is a 20-minute drive away from Valentino’s place in town, close enough to reach before Valentino’s desire to strangle him subsides.
+
Valentino can’t stand Marc when Marc doesn’t answer his phone. Sometimes Alex picks up when he’s around, saying that his brother is sleeping, eating, exercising. Marc is busy and he can’t come to the phone. Those are the days Valentino drops the car keys back into the glass bowl and gets back to his life. But Alex is not always with Marc, so Valentino gets in his car, he drives with fingers gripping the steering wheel until he parks a little crooked in front of Marc’s house.
When Marc doesn’t answer his phone it means he didn’t get out of bed in the morning, so Valentino has to do it for him. He is annoying like that. Valentino knows where the spare key is, hidden under a fancy pot with fancy hydrangeas around the corner. Of all the windows the house has, there is only one door. Valentino grabs the key and unlocks the door, lets himself inside.
“Sono a casa,” he yells to the empty hallway, the empty living room and the empty kitchen.
The air smells like dust and engine oil, things thrown hazardously around. Valentino stands in the middle of the living room, surrounded by the big couch and the big table, and looks around with his hands on his hips. He’s listening. The house is quiet.
“Brat,” he mutters under his breath. He gets to work. He opens the windows, lets the fresh air in. He gathers the clothes and redbull caps and puts them in one place, fluffs the pillows and loads the dishwasher with dirty plates and cups of coffee. Il dottore turned housemaid. If this is what retirement is about, he doesn’t want it.
When the place looks less like a dumpster and more like a place designed for humans, Valentino sends a prayer to whoever is listening and goes looking for Marc in his bedroom. He opens the door, steps inside. It’s dark, claustrophobic. This time, Valentino doesn’t pull the curtains apart, doesn’t open the windows. He makes his way to the bed, where the blankets sit still, a bump in the middle the only indication there is a person underneath it all. Valentino sighs.
“Sun will do you good, moccioso viziato.”
Marc’s head pops up, unruly curls and unruly smile. “Vale?” His voice sounds hoarse. It hurts Valentino’s brain just hearing it.
“Shhh,” he says as he climbs in bed, slipping under the blankets. Marc is on his good side, his injured arm placed carefully on top. Valentino settles behind him, head tucked into Marc’s shoulder, arm around Marc’s waist.
“Sono qui,” he says before he presses a kiss to Marc’s neck. Marc melts in the embrace, breath stuttering out of him in a hiccup.
“Vale.”
They will stay like this for a while. Then, Valentino will pull Marc out of bed. He will clean this room too, and take a walk with Marc in the garden, force him to a light run because only his arm is broken, not his fucking legs. Valentino will help Marc stretch his muscles, wash his hair, and at the end of the day he will ask for a hefty compensation because he is Il dottore, not a fucking maid.
+
Valentino hates speaking Spanish and he hates Spanish food, but when Marc refuses to eat, Valentino cooks for him. He speaks in stilted phrases to the women at the market, Tias and Tios that have no idea who he is because this country worships a different kind of God. He learns how to cook escudella and callos a la madrileña because Marc is a spoiled brat and doesn’t want to eat unless it’s his grandmother’s recipe. One phone conversation with Juliá about Marc’s favourite dishes is one conversation too many. But he makes the call anyway and he listens to Juliá’s guidance over the speaker phone as the stew bubbles on the stove. The house smells like meat and vegetables for a long time after, rich and savory that it almost makes Valentino’s mouth water. He’d eat a bowl if it wasn’t for the soft texture of the carrots he despises so much. Marc stops being annoying for a second, he eats two bowls of escudella sitting with his legs crossed on the wooden floor, Valentino next to him munching on a piece of bread. When he’s finished, his smile kicks up a notch before he lunges for Valentino and presses his sticky mouth to Valentino’s cheeks and neck and mouth, wherever he finds skin. His giggles rattle Valentino’s ribcage where they are pressed together.
“See if I ever cook for you, brat,” Valentino tells him when Marc runs out of steam, slumping against his chest on the couch.
“You will,” Marc smiles at him, chin resting on his hands, feet kicking up in the air. Marc is tolerable when his arm behaves and he forgets about the pain for a while. Valentino doesn’t want to break too many things if Marc offers him his smile constantly.
Valentino gets his hands into those curls, tugs at the roots until Marc’s eyelashes flutter. He doesn’t say anything, because they both know Valentino will break his promise the next time Marc refuses to eat. He will cook for Marc again. It doesn’t matter if he hates the process when he loves the result.
+
Marc is the most infuriating when he can’t stop talking. Valentino doesn’t think Marc is aware of it. It happens when he least expects it, when they’re doing the most mundane shit.
They’re running around the track in Tavullia, and between one ragged breath and another, Marc says. “Maybe if I trained harder, maybe if I worked harder, I’d get better. I’m not doing enough. It’s never enough.” It’s random and unexpected and it distracts Valentino so that he almost trips over his legs and face plants the ground.
It happens when they’re cooking when Valentino is making fresh pesto and Marc is dicing the zucchini. It goes well until Marc tries to dice his fingers too. He nips the tip of his index with the sharp blade, starts swearing up and down, “You can’t do anything right. Idiota.” Valentino almost sticks his own hand in the boiling pasta water because self-inflicted pain is easier to bear than whatever shit Marquez is saying. He doesn’t. Instead, he grabs the first-aid kit and tends to Marc’s tiny wound.
By now, Valentino learned to expect this kind of talk from Marc, but he has yet to learn how to deal with it. He either gapes like a fish as Marc smiles through his horrid words or Valentino leaves the room, fuming, because he can’t yell at a person who thinks they deserve to be yelled at. The crash in Jerez must have damaged more than Marc’s bones. There are enough doctors around Marc to take care of his injuries for him, but who’s taking care of the nasty voices inside his mind? Valentino doesn’t think he is equipped enough for it, not when he can barely stop himself from pressing his fingernail to Marc’s wound in an attempt to make him realise that maybe his way of dealing with the recovery process is not the best one.
“It’s just a scratch, Marc, not the end of the world.”
Marc shrugs, not lifting his eyes from the chopped zucchini. “Then what do you call Jerez 2020?”
Valentino raises an eyebrow at him. “An accident,” he says in English. “Un accidente. Un incidente. If they invented another word for it, I don’t know it. ”
“Only idiots make accidents.”
“Would you tell that to Jorge?”
Marc inhales sharply at that. Fabio would probably knock him over at the next race if Marc called Jorge Martin an idiot.
Valentino smiles. “That’s what I thought.”
Marc frowns. “Te odio.”
“No, you don’t.” And to drive his point home, Valentino grabs Marc’s hands and bites his knuckles until Marc’s face smooths into a laugh and he forgets how the word idiota sounds in his mouth. If Valentino still hears the echoes of that words weeks after, it’s his problem to deal with.
+
Everything comes to a halt when they are doing laundry and Marc looks at a pair of pants and says, “Maybe I shouldn’t be left out on the track if I keep crashing like this.”
Valentino sees red. He tries to understand most of the time, but his understanding has a limit too. Now all he wants is to scream at Marc to shut up, shut up, shut up. There must be something visible on his face because Marc takes a step back as Valentino turns toward him, hands held high in front of him as if Valentino will attack any minute.
“What?” Marc says, shoulders raised to the ears. “I haven’t seen you this angry since Sepang 2015.”
Valentino ignores him. He grabs Marc’s face in his hands and says, “Amore,” because Valentino never uses pet names unless he wants to distract Marc. It works well this time as well. Marc shuts up and blushes a pretty red, dropping his hands to rest in the crook of Valentino’s elbows. “I’m breaking up with you if you don’t win your ninth.” He says it in Spanish too to drive the point home.
Marc frowns, his brain registering the words. “In case you haven’t noticed—“
“Bodies heal, that’s what they do. Unless you’re dead, there is no reason for you to think otherwise.”
Marc’s frown deepens. “But—“
Valentino presses his lips against the wrinkle on his forehead, down at the corner of his eye, on the edge of his jaw. Marc shudders in his arms.
“You once told me you can be faster than me.”
“I am,” Marc says, eyes closed, breathing hard against Valentino.
“Faster than you, I mean.”
Valentino smiles. “Not sure I believe you.”
For the first time in months, Marc’s eyes twinkle with hunger. “I am. I’ll prove it to you.”
“Good.” Valentino kisses him hard. “You can start doing that, but after you’re done with the laundry. I’m not your maid.”
Marc does not finish the laundry. Neither does Valentino. The sunset catches them in bed, sheets draped all around them as Valentino presses his grievances into Marc’s golden skin until the room lights up with Marc’s giggles, with promises of being kinder to himself in the process of healing. Marc will probably forget come morning. He is infuriating. But Valentino knows where the spare key is and how to cook escudella and calçotada the way Marc likes them. If Marc forgets a thousand times, Valentino will remind him a thousand times.
After all, there is still a race to win.

Looking just at Western countries, do you think there are any nationalities where the men are particularly bad?
Out of my experience, slavic and balkan men are really bad. It's generally connected with being conservative and religious. Yes, it includes polish men. I also had some bad experiences with Italians (like this one old man from work who desperately wanted to date me and didn't take no for an answer, it got ugly).
Y'all, feel free to share your opinions and experiences!

R.I.P. Giovanni Lombardo Radice (23 September 1954 – 27 April 2023)
… was an Italian film actor, also known as John Morghen.
Lombardo Radice began his career in theater before he starred in Ruggero Deodato's The House on the Edge of the Park (1980). Throughout the 1980s, Radice appeared in many Italian cult films such as Cannibal Apocalypse (1980), City of the Living Dead (1980), Stage Fright (1987) and The Church (1989). Radice is best known for his villainous roles in Italian horror films, and notably for the spectacular and gruesome death scenes his characters semi-regularly fall victim to.
In several interviews, he reportedly stated that he wished he had never portrayed Mike Logan in Cannibal Ferox, criticizing the movie for being both fascist and racist and abusive towards animals. Radice created his stage name, John Morghen, by taking the anglicized form of his first name (Giovanni becomes John) and using his grandmother's maiden name as his last name (Morghen). His family practically disowned him when they discovered he was using his family name to create incredibly violent films.
Lombardo Radice's uncle is Pietro Ingrao, the first member of the Italian Communist Party to be Head of Parliament in the 1970s. His father was the mathematician Lucio Lombardo Radice. The writer Marco Lombardo Radice was his elder brother.
Radice often posted texts criticizing social injustice, capitalism and corruption in Italy.
Lombardo Radice wrote about having a cocaine addiction when younger.
Lombardo Radice died on 27 April 2023, at the age of 68,the same day as his Cannibal Apocalypse co-star Ramiro Oliveros.

"Woman's condition in capitalism is born with violence (just as the free waged worker is born with violence); it is forged on the witches' pyres, and it is maintained with violence."

RIP Giovanni Lombardo Radice (23.9.1954 - 27.4.2023)
"It took some time, and a lot of stress, to learn to not be in character twelve hours a day on set. At the very beginning, when I was very young, I was totally in character from beginning to end. With the long times you have on set, that was exhausting. I slowly learned how to get in and out of character. That is not always easy, it takes time, it depends on what character you are playing. Some characters need a larger concentration, some are easier to switch on and off. That is the main difference with theatre."

Real, it's all bc of tomato sauce. One day a bunch of Italians found out an entire batch of sauce which was going to expire soon and said "oh lol looks like blood" and started making horror films. Then they found out spaghetti looked like entrails and thus the cannibal movie genre was born 😔
what caused italians to make all those gory movies in the 70s and 80s
#wren text tag#but yes Italian horror movies from 70s-80s were absolutely bloody hell gory#OP is probably referring to Cannibal Holocaust (1980 directed by Ruggero Deodato) which is the most famous and controversial#it was banned in a lot of countries (and still is) and the director was even forced to appear in court because of the violence in it#like there are a LOT of genuine animal slayings#btw did you know that this film is one of the first uses of Found Footage in a complex long story of horror genre?#however this technique will become famous much later with The Blair Witch Project#other famous movies are Suspiria (1977 directed by Dario Argento)#and A Bay of Blood (1971 directed by Mario Bava)#if I had to give my opinion on why they were so gory#I suppose it's both because Italy was still recovering from Fascism and WW2#and the decade 1870-1980 was mostly remembered as “Years of Lead” (Anni di Piombo)#the period of political violence and terrorism caused by radical armed groups (example: Brigate Rosse)#also the 70s have been a generalized period of economic and energetic crisis#there was also the Cold War going on but the Years of Lead were much more felt by Italians
