Una lucertola con la pelle di donna (A Lizard in a Woman's Skin, 1971)

"You dream of having an affair with this woman who lives next door. To you, that woman represents sin, moral degradation. The house next door is a symbol of vice. From what you've told me, Mrs. Durer is not exactly respectable."

"No... she certainly is not."

[cameronlockhart]

In addition to being entertaining, The Penguin has also introduced me to another celebrity crush in the form of Cristin Milioti. I’ve never heard of this actress before, but let’s just say Sofia in this show isn’t ONLY frightening me. 😉

[lesbiancolumbo]

sometimes letterboxd is THE stupidest fucking community in the world i swear to god. tell me why i have to see a whole garden variety of 0.5-1 star reviews of a movie with an openly queer protagonist who, over the course of her coming of age narrative explores and reaffirms her queerness and remains openly and happily queer, that are all calling it an "anti-gay narrative/propaganda". be so fucking serious right now. does anyone in this thread do mushrooms

Hey all!

Just letting you know that I have made some changes to the playlist RAFFLES TV series 1975-77 (Complete) on my YouTube channel. @firestorm717 was kind enough to give me permission to upload her lovely rips (which are the ones I use for all my edits and which you can still download), so those are the ones that you can now see in that playlist, with thumbnails edited by myself. Chippas uploads I have moved to a new playlist called RAFFLES TV series 1975-77 WITH SUBTITLES (Complete).

Otherwise, the main differences between the two playlists are:

Old playlist (firestorm's rips from US DVD release):

Includes the act cards in between acts.

Includes the scenes at the ball in "Mr Justice Raffles".

Slightly better transfer.

New playlist (Chippa's rips from UK DVD release):

Option for (accurate) closed captions.

Happy watching! 💎

P.S: You can watch some of my edited clips in the playlist RAFFLES Clips.

I’ve been doing this thing for about a year now, where I’ve made it a goal to try and find the documentary that disturbs me the most.

I stay away from documentaries that focus on animal abuse, since that’s just a massive no-go area, I can’t even think about someone as little as shout at an animal.

But I’ve watched quite a few at this point. I know a lot of people out there are also interested in this kind of thing, so I’ll give you some of the ones that have really had an impact on me. I’ll start with the tamest ones (available on mainstream platforms like Netflix) and it’ll get progressively more upsetting lol.

I’m actually quite a desensitised person, so if a documentary affects me, you know it’s worth it.

Green = unfortunate and upsetting

Orange = Jesus that’s fucked up, that’s latched onto me for a while

Red = The above + will find it difficult to watch again, and this made me cry my eyes out

Bold Red = Kept me up at night for a while + all the above. Still think about it to this day.

Bold with ** = don’t watch if you don’t have a strong stomach and can’t handle emotionless gory images

no context spoilers for the phantom of manhattan

this book is fucking TERRIBLE

[zahri-melitor]

Have you ever considered a B&R 2009 masterpost; the good, the bad & the ugly?

You mean, aside from the fic I wrote firmly nailing some of my theses up against the title itself?

I have thought about it and made comments various places, but there’s a number of reasons I’ve not done so:-

I aim to be generous and polite about my opinions on various runs when I'm reviewing them and focus on the good as much as possible. I know I do not always succeed, but I think there's value in highlighting what was done well or has potential.

I’d have to reread Morrison to be fair about it, and honestly I have an annotated list of at least several dozen other titles I want to read more than I want to reread B&R09.

I am aware there is a cohort of Damian fans that are very fond of it as it contains the majority of existing stories about Dick and Damian’s time as Batman and Robin. I like being able to have cordial discussions with people who have different views to me, especially when we overlap at other points, and I’m aware some of my views about the title are pretty critical of various decisions.

To talk critically about B&R09 it is unavoidable that I have to talk about Jason, something I tend to avoid doing publicly for a multitude of reasons.

Do people really want the bit where I start ranting about the Aaron Langstrom art problem in an extended format? Because I already have posts where I do that, and I think I’m probably the only person who deeply cares about the problems B&R09 causes Aaron Langstrom.

Some of the run’s worst problems are when you line up the events with things happening in other titles, and the fact that Morrison refused to acknowledge any storytelling happening in other titles made the implications of their writing decisions far, far worse.

That said, if there’s genuine interest, I'd be willing to put something together, but it's likely to take me some time.
