Bandidos (Guns of Death, 1967)
"You've been a good teacher."
"A good teacher doesn't teach you to kill."
#bandidos#guns of death#italian cinema#spaghetti western#1967#massimo dallamano#romano migliorini#juan cobos#enrico maria salerno#terry jenkins#marĂa martĂn#venantino venantini#marco guglielmi#cris huerta#massimo sarchielli#jesĂșs puente#antonio pica#roberto messina#egisto macchi#although he'd worked as a cinematographer for the best part of a decade (including on Leone's Dollars trilogy) this was Dallamano's first#film as director (and his only western; he's better remembered now for his work in gialli and horror films). it's an extraordinary debutâ a#visual tour de force with a craftsman's eye for detail and some inventive editing flourishes (of note is an unnervingly long pan across the#aftermath of a train massacre in the opening scene). hyper violentâ but not flippant with it; the film has a body count to rival most war#filmsâ but it's rarely meaningless and is given appropriate weight. Salerno gives a typically strong performance as the marksman legend#whose wounded hands prevent him from getting the revenge he burns for (a typically romantic conceit for the genre) and Venantini is#wonderfullyâ maliciously other worldly as the nemesis who more closely resembles a demonic apparition than a bandit.#it may not have the universal appeal of some of the biggest films within the genreâ but this is a punchyâ sharply shot blood soaked#vengeance thriller with some unexpected pathos and real emotional heftâ and some remarkably unexpected moments#not least the mortally wounded gunmanâ suddenly transfixed by a reproduction of The Death of Sardanapalusâ seized by the insane#notion of bringing some of the surrounding women with him on his journey to hell; it's the kind of thing you just don't get in every film

I love Vetinari because he's like
- an inventor who's capable of creating things that can blow up mountains and kill thousands of people, but is incredibly naive and believes no one would ever use his inventions with bad intentions? I'm gonna let him live in my attic, surrounded by traps of his own devising so no one can disturb him, and give him all the supplies he asks for for his little projects, because occasionally he comes up with a doozy.
- A con man who stole hundreds of thousands of dollars? I'll fake his death and put him in charge of some of the major industries in the city, because if there's anyone who knows how to get money out of people, it's a con artist.
- A man who looks exactly like me and was used as part of a plot to overthrow me and take over the city? I'll send him to the actors' guild so he can impersonate me whenever I feel like taking a little holiday.
- The world's greatest forger? Yoink. He's mine now.

Also bro - another dude decided that two real-life historical pirates should also kiss eachother on the mouth and also destiel happened but I'm choosing not to talk to you about that one - enjoy the memes bitch.
Also - you're greyace.
Kay bye.

Good Omens S3 speculation playlist
These pieces have sort of drifted into becoming the soundtrack for all my wild speculations about what Season 3 might bring, acting as placeholder music until David Arnold works his Euterpean magic -- see what you think! :D
Dies Irae (Karl Jenkins Requiem (link goes to youtube playlist of the full album, 'cos it's awesome and seriously worth listening to)) -- this is far and away my favourite version of the Dies Irae; it feels particularly appropriate for GO because it's borderline bebop and sounds like something Crowley'd have playing loudly in the Bentley while driving like fury to save the world (or possibly invading Heaven to rescue his True Love) if he felt Queen wouldn't quite cut it. Plus, per this post, the four-note Dies Irae motif appears a few times in the score to S1 (appropriately enough!) -- why not try listening to the OST again and finding them all? ;D
Dancing Mad (Nobuo Uematsu FF6) -- bit of an oddball association, I know; I happened to be reading a post making jokes about Kakfa (as in Franz Kakfa) shortly after the release of S2, only I mis-parsed 'Kafka' as 'Kefka' (as in Kefka Palazzo) and was promptly deluged with mental images of the Ineffables being badass adorable together to the tune of Dancing Mad! XD Plus, I like the image of Heaven suddenly hearing the organ notes at 11:32 crescendoing in the background, and the elevator doors slamming open right when the vocal-ish bit kicks in at 11:51 to reveal a certain VERY cheesed-off serpent who's in a rescuing mood :D (He does love to be dramatic, after all ^^)
Adiemus (Karl Jenkins Symphonic Adiemus) -- I just really like this track, and it feels kind of appropriate for a moment of renewed hope and building optimism after a moment of what Tolkien called 'eucatastrophe' and TVTropes calls 'Near Villain Victory' -- something we're almost certain to get in S3
In Caelum Fero (Karl Jenkins Symphonic Adiemus) -- from the same album as Adiemus above (In Caelum Fero is the first track, actually, so I've make the link one that takes you to the start of the playlist). It sounds threatening and dramatic and hopeful by turns -- appropriate for the Apocalyptic situation that's brewing for S3 -- and the title translates from the Latin as 'I will bear you to Heaven', which matches up to The Final Fifteen in two or three different ways! ;_; (#FuckTheMetatronWithACactus)
Sanctus (Karl Jenkins The Armed Man: A Mass For Peace) -- ever since I first heard this track waay back in 2001, I've associated it with the image of hordes of angels marching to war; it certainly sounds ominous enough!
I'll Be Your Mirror (Velvet Underground) -- I got into Velvet Underground entirely because of Good Omens! I love this track in particular because it sounds so utterly perfect for one of the Ineffables trying to bolster the other's confidence (in my imagination, it's usually Crowley trying to boost Aziraphale, 'cos that poor angel's self-esteem is atrocious :( *hugs*)
Pale Blue Eyes (Velvet Underground) -- Crowley's fave VU song, I gather :D Plus, despite the title, this particular love song was apparently written for someone with hazel eyes (just like our angel!) :D
I Found A Reason (Velvet Underground) -- I can't offhand remember seeing this song mentioned in fandom discussions of VU, which seems a bit of a shame; it feels just so darn PERFECT as a summary of how the Ineffables feel about each other! <3
Edit/addition 18/02/2024:
The Dark Morris Song (Steeleye Span, Wintersmith album) -- this one's an absolute bop, is connected to Discworld (so Aziraphale would probably approve!) and is very thematically appropriate for the Ineffable Husbands; Pterry thought up the Dark Morris (danced in secrecy and silence, in black costumes, deep in the forest, to welcome the winter -- first mentioned in Reaper Man, becomes a plot point in Wintersmith) as a counterpart and counterbalance to the traditional Morris dance to welcome the summer. The whole 'balance of light and dark' thing is a big part of the Ineffables' story <3
The Good Witch (Steeleye Span, Wintersmith album) -- also a very good match for the Ineffable Husbands' vibe; the first half of the song is about a witch being good and loving and caring even if she is 'ugly' or gets tagged as 'wicked' for whatever reason (A. J. Crowley, anyone???), and the second half is the actual Terry Pratchett doing a spoken-word reading of his passage about what 'cackling' means for Discworld witches -- which matches up uncomfortably well with what the impossibly high standards Heaven imposes on Aziraphale have already done to his psyche in terms of c-PTSD and compassion fatigue, and what they might still do in the worst-case scenario...
Stranger In Paradise (Alexander Armstrong version) -- I just feel like this coincidentally matches the Vibes (tm) of bits and pieces of the Ineffable Husbands' story! "Won't you answer the fervent prayer/Of this stranger in Paradise/Don't send me in dark despair/From all that I hunger for!" -- The Final Fifteen/Ineffable Breakup, anyone? "If I stand starry-eyed/That's a danger in Paradise" -- danger of angel/demon relationships being discovered. "I saw your face/And I ascended" [...] "Somewhere in space/I am suspended/Until I know/ There's a chance that you care" -- bits of 'Before the Beginning' and The Final Fifteen! Plus, the title alone feels perfect for Azzy's feelings/situation at the end of S2... Brb, crying!

KONG: SKULL ISLAND 2017
And remember the story of Icarus, whose father gave him wings of wax. Warned him not to fly too close to the sun. But the exhilaration was too great. So he flew higher and higher, until the sun melted his wings, and he fell into the sea. The US Army is not an irresponsible father. So they gave us wings of hot Pennsylvania steel, guaranteed not to melt.

Seasons greetings and welcome to my cosy little corner of the internet. This is my sideblog (meaning I cannot follow people or like posts) to write essays about books, create endearing to be read and currently reading lists. This blog will also have a generally mellow, classic aesthetic, similar to a muted Dark Academia or Grey Academia if we're putting flashy, TikTok-ifed labels on it. Conjure images of dark coffees; ancient, ornate libraries; flickering candles and manuscripts penned in swirling obsidian ink if your mind has not been corrupted by labels and boxes just yet.
My Top 3 Books (in no particular order):
The Secret History by Donna Tartt
Malibu Rising by Taylor Jenkins Reid
Good Omens by Neil Gaiman and Terry Pratchett
Rating System:
Xanthous - This post is not a review/does not describe a book in any detail.
Pristine - No spoilers, donât fret.
Murky - Slight spoilers, usually just alluding to/stating character details or events which are revealed/occur early in the book.
Stygian - Post contains major spoilers for the topic covered.

âšJason Todd's Bookshelfâš
i think it's so interesting to see what books Jason Todd would read/own, so here's my own contribution! some of these are canon* (hence the *), some are popular headcanons and some are my own speculation. i'll probably continue to add to this.
The Count of Monte Cristo by Alexandre Dumas*
Pride & Prejudice by Jane Austen*
1984 by George (Wh)Orwell*
The Prince by Machiavelli*
The Complete Works of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle*
The Art of War by Sun Tzu*
Hamlet*
An additional complete works of William Shakespeare
Jane Eyre by Charlotte Brontë
Northanger Abbey by Jane Austen
One Hundred Years of Solitude by Gabriel GarcĂa MĂĄrquez
Notes on an Execution by Danya Kukafka
Slouching Towards Bethlehem by Joan Didion
Catcher in the Rye by J.D Salinger
i think Holden Caulfield secretly reminds him of Bruce
One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest by Ken Kesey
Frankenstein by Mary Shelley
Beloved by Toni Morrison
The Brothers Karamazov by Fyodor Dostoyevsky
The Metamorphosis and The Trial by Franz Kafka
specifically owns a copy that has both of them in there
Fight Club by Chuck Palahniuk
this may be a bit on the nose, but Jason would love a good satire
The Invisible Man by Ralph Ellison
Dream of the Red Chamber by Cao Xueqin
Such a Fun Age by Kiley Reid
Trainspotting by Irvine Welsh
Starling House by Alix E. Harrow
The Road by Cormac McCarthy
Hayy ibn Yaqdhan by Ibu Tufail
East of Eden by John Steinbeck
but lowkey he hates it
Little Women by Louisa May Alcott
The Stranger by Albert Camus
The Iliad by Homer
The Outsiders by S.E Hinton
i don't see Jason as being a big fantasy/sci-fi guy unless it falls under the magical realism or gothic categories (i.e, Beloved, Frankenstein), however i do think he would jive with Ray Bradbury, Douglas Adams, Terry Pratchett and (unfortunately) Harlan Ellison
i can also see him jiving with R.F Kuang and i think The Poppy War specifically would be an exception to his usual disinterest in fantasy
i think he maybe also has a stash of paperback Star Wars novels stashed away somewhere
if jason is a theatre kid into adulthood, i think he would be the kind that reads solely straight plays
Fat Ham by James Ijames
Complete Works of Arthur Miller
Everybody by Branden Jacobs-Jenkins
he typically avoids stuff thatâs so directly about mortality, but this play would really resonate with him and honestly be a healing read
being the hater that he is, he's also hate read at least one Collen Hoover book (and promptly left it in the Batcave to frame Bruce for the crime)
#i put too much thought into this but this is so much fun#jason todd#red hood#jason todd headcanon#red hood headcanon#bat family#kenobers poetics
