[mackmp3]

IMMACOLATA & CONCETTA, L'ALTRA GELOSIA (1980) dir. Salvatore Piscicelli This is an uneven presentation of the tragedies plaguing the lives of two women from the lower economic strata in Naples. Immacolata is married, bisexual, and runs a butcher shop that is not bringing in much money. Concetta is a lesbian, doing manual labor and now serving time for taking a potshot at her lover's husband. Immacolata has also been put in jail for guiding a young woman into prostitution. Immacolata and Concetta develop an intensely passionate relationship in prison and after being released, they defy Immacolata's husband and society's scorn by moving in together. But external threats are not as destructive, in the end, as internal contradictions. (link in title)

The more I discover about Wings (1927) the more I need it to be used as inspiration in s5

Why must Amanda be given a tragic girl crush in every movie she's in and NEVER the chance to actually kiss a girl

Ok so I just finished Anna Karenina 2012 after reading the book abt a month ago

what the fuck

It felt like they still had around a third of the book's plot to go but then Anna just died and we cut to Levin having a completely different epiphany?? Then it ends with Karenin watching Annie and Seryozha play?????

Like I get that it's basically impossible to cram all of Anna Karenina into one feature-length film but goddamn

i desperately need sophia di martino to play a sapphic character in a feature film

Erica Ash died from cancer today. It really is a shame she never got her big break in Hollywood. But that isn't to say she didn't make an impression.

I knew her from The Big Gay Sketch Show. Then she was on the last season of MADtv. The next really notable thing I watched her on was Survivor's Remorse (M-Chuck, one of few Black lesbian characters ever, still). She was also hilarious on The Real Husbands of Hollywood. Speaking of which, she produced tumblr's favorite meme on that show:

I think the very last thing I saw her on was Legacies. She played MG's mom, and she was so good. That was the first time I'd seen her play a dramatic role.

Ah wait no she was in Horror Noire, that's right! I recommended that to you guys! It is so good!

Seems the last thing she was in was a family horror film with Anthony Mackie, David Harbour, and Jennifer Coolidge called, 'We Have a Ghost' last year. So I'll be checking that out soon!

R.I.P Erica 😔

you know this site hates lesbians because the drive away dolls tag is flooded with pedro pascal, who— spoiler alert— dies within the first five minutes of the film.

riverdale reworked the story of pinochio for the modern age by making him the homophobic twin of a lesbian who becomes a real life theatre kid, sells smut films to teenagers and dies in the vietnam war btw

Random Robin Headcanons

She was named by her parents putting their names together (Robert and Ingrid)

Her paternal grandmother is French

She's allergic to shellfish

She had a secret 'relationship' with Carol Perkins the summer of '85

Her gender is lesbian

She always smells faintly of lavender

Her birthday is November 10th (she's a Scorpio)

She's like catnip to the sapphics of Hawkins but she is painfully oblivious to it

She has a tiny pinprick scar on her neck from where the Russians injected her (Steve has a matching one)

She also has faint scars around her neck and wrists from the vines in the upside down

When she has nightmares, she wakes up in a panic and needs to call Steve to hear he's alive

She spends most of her time at Steve's house rather than her own

She's an only child

She goes to Stanford for college and double-majors in film and linguistics

She'd be a college professor when she's older

She's terrified of being forgotten and being nobody to anyone

Her parents had a baby because it "made sense" for their relationship but quickly discovered they had no actual interest in parenting. She has a bad relationship with her mom and an okay relationship with her dad

Both her parents are nurses. Her father dies in an attack on the hospital post-s4

Her middle name is Josephine, picked by her grandmother Jocelyn (in Josieverse, this is where she gets the name)

She has freckles all over her body

She has AuDHD

She's read the entirety of the Lord of the Rings series but refuses to let any of the party find out because she thinks it's funny to annoy them by deliberately getting things wrong (she calls Bilbo "Dildo" once and Dustin gets so heated trying to correct her that he turns scarlet)

She has poor circulation so her hands and feet are always freezing. She uses this to be a menace 100% of the time

After Starcourt, she's afraid of being high

She's made friendship bracelets for everyone

She wears only silver jewellery

She's a great cook but gets distracted easily so Steve and Nancy usually keep her company

While Steve has his nailbat, Robin tends to use either a crowbar or a machete

Her favourite Christmas song is 'Stop the Cavalry' because of the trumpets

She and Steve have necklaces with each other's initial on them

Propaganda

Lauren Bacall (To Have and Have Not, The Big Sleep, Key Largo)—"Just put your lips together...and blow" excuse me ma'am i'm briefly going to turn into a kettle. She's the quintessential Femme Fatale who may betray me in the end but I'd let her it'd be worth it

Gloria Grahame (It's a wonderful life, Oklahoma, Human desire, The Cobweb)—I'm just going to link to this Film Comment article by Donald Chase, who makes the argument more eloquently than I can, although I think Grahame's Ado Annie is more than just the 'flirtatious goofus' he offhandedly describes her as. Between that role and Violet Bick in 'It's a Wonderful Life" she's played two of cinemas best irrepressibly horny ladies. That would be legacy enough for our hot vintage queen, but she is also GLORIOUS in 'In a Lonely Place' and consistently pulls focus from her co-star Humphrey Bogart, famously one of the most charismatic leading men of his day. I think she had even more, and hotter, chemistry with him than he ever had with Lauren Bacall, which is saying a lot I know. Anyway, your honor I love her and I want her to win it all.

This is round 2 of the tournament. All other polls in this bracket can be found here. Please reblog with further support of your beloved hot sexy vintage woman.

Lauren Bacall:

"She is soooo neat. And hot. And everything. That one scene in To Have and Have Not where she says "you know how to whistle don't you? You just put your lips together and blow" altered my brain chemistry during media archaeology class and here we are."

"Lauren Bacall was a major lesbian awakening for me. Every picture of her makes it look like she’s about to destroy you physically and emotionally (why is that so hot, I may need help). She had incredible long running chemistry with her husband, Humphrey Bogart, but was an absolute star in her own right. I’ll never be over my crush on her."

"She's got that confident, no-nonsense air about her. She's a boss babe who knows what she wants and gets it DONE. Staunch liberal Democrat her whole life. Campaigned for RFK. From Wikipedia: "In a 2005 interview with Larry King, Bacall described herself as "anti-Republican... A liberal. The L-word". She added that "being a liberal is the best thing on Earth you can be. You are welcoming to everyone when you're a liberal. You do not have a small mind."" Beautiful hair. Beautiful eyes. Beautiful lips. She's just beauty. LISTEN TO HER VOICE. TELL ME THAT'S NOT THE STUFF THAT DREAMS ARE MADE OF."

"HER VOICE. Like yeah, she was absolutely stunning but oh my god, I'm obsessed with her voice"

"A gorgeous lady inside and out. One half of an absolute power couple with Humphrey Bogart, tended to him and other actors suffering from malaria whilst filming the African Queen, generally radiated grace and poise throughout her life. Also her last role was in Family Guy so she needs justice for that"

"The VOICE, the SLINK, the EYES. Woof."

"She was stunning. Tall and beautiful with a distinctive voice and able to carry her own in a male dominated field. She won the heart of millions, including one of Hollywood's most iconic leading men, Humphrey Bogart. Their story was the stuff of legends, and the chemistry between them was apparent in the multiple films they started in together. She personified the film noir dame and yet she also adapted as Hollywood changed. Her career spanned decades, and she was honored multiple times."

Gloria Grahame:

Absolute Hollywood vamp, who had a fine comedic bone. Died far too young and was depicted by Annette Bening in the stellar Film Stars Don't Die in Liverpool

I’ve heard she’s horrendously miscast in Oklahoma (I have not seen it), so if you’re coming in with that framework PLEASE set that aside because gods does this woman shine in a NOIR!! She plays the battered woman more than a full on fatale, but she manages to bring interesting nuance to characters who are written as mere sultry divergences! Also: she’s sultry and an EXCELLENT divergence

She could do sexy, sweet and sinister in the same breath. She was crazy talented and had that lisp that melts me every time.
