The BRINK'S JOB (1978) - PETER FALK POSTERS (Part 10/10)
On The back of Columbo's success and last season, PETER FALK returned to movie acting as a genuine movie star in this crime comedy heist movie inspired by a real story directed by William Friedkin.
The movie was a mild success as many Columbo fans wanted to see their favorite actor on the big screen. The Italian poster clearly plays on the Columbo linkage with a great illustration Art
Director: William Friedkin Actors: Peter Falk, Warren Oates, Gena Rowlands

Remembering Gena Rowlands 1930-2024
Sad news tonight: actress Gena Rowlands has died at 94. Some might call her the First Lady of Independent Cinema as the films she made with her husband John Cassevetes were so influential in the pantheon of independent cinema! John Cassevetes (1929-1989), who was married to Gena from 1954 to his death in 1989, would act in a ton of movies and take the money from those to direct his own films. A number of them starred Rowlands as his leading lady. John and Gena had three kids, all of whom are filmmakers: Nick (born in 1959, a friend and frequent collaborator of Ted Demme's! He actually co-wrote Blow), Alexandra (born in 1965, directed the excellent Z Channel documentary), and Zoe (born in 1970). Talent definitely runs in their family!
Peter Falk and Rowlands in A Woman Under the Influence
John and Gena made about 10 films together, both co-starring and John directing Gena. The best of them was A Woman Under the Influence, which Gena was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Actress for. Her performance as Mabel, the housewife who begins showing some behavioral issues with her husband and family. She gives one of the greatest film performances of all time. How she didn't win the Oscar is beyond me!
Other notable films she appeared in included The Brink's Job, Michael J. Fox and Joan Jett's mother in Light of Day, Another Woman, and Night on Earth.

can a therapist explain why my mom saying she loves me and doesn't mind having me around during this extremely prolonged and fruitless job search because she loves me and just wants to make sure my needs are met makes me SOMEHOW feel worse about being an unemployable little shit?
#me#like.... i love my parents#but i think i love my parents too much to have them keep watching me waste time and be depressed all day#okay maybe not waste time i do do stuff and i'm writing but#definitely depressed all day#been on the brink of tears for three days thinking about how another year is about to end without anything substantially changing#about my life#no job no place of my own no plans no boyfriend#i might get a cat tho!#and my problems are also minuscule compared to other peoples' but i'm also the only one who lives with those problems so

Can't stop making more of these little guys
#One on the left looks terrible but we'll ignore that#Middle yellow one is an insufferable (affectionate) valley girl who has a rivalry with Trep and they fight all the time#Right one is a veryvery chill gal who just kinda follows yellow gal around and gives zero shits about literally everything#Left one with the spikes and bow takes his blademaster job very seriously and everything was going well!#He had Fulmin and Nelly and could manage them fine#Until Trep came.#Then his sanity plummeted and hes on the brink of exhaustion all the time from their hyjinx#Crow rito isnt yiga but theyre a neutral sundelion merchant that sells to anyone and asks no questions#and also maybe is a lil bit of a sona#yiga oc#totk yiga#yiga footsoldier#yiga blademaster#yiga#yiga clan#crowys art#(Pricklo)#(Nana)#(Komare)#(Lakk)

I'm curious — is there any unusual (as in, people would not expect this of them) jobs y'all can think of that would occupy the same narrative niche as the narrator's crash coordinator job? With the same level of abject, disturbingly accepted corruption and whatnot, the vibe of "in a just world you would be a good guy but instead you're much worse than most people can dream of"
#fight club#for me it is planning ecologist#i know a guy who was one and he was like. on the brink before he left the job#i imagine most things associated with the oil industry as well#but its not the same flavor of like “theoretically you should be the good guy”#maybe stuff to do with pharmaceuticals#have i ranted about the pharmaceutical industry on here yet?#me making this post which assumes yall have life experience then following up with a sex ed psa truly is a rollercoaster of expectations

thinking about genderfluid/trans fem steve again (happens at least once every six months for the past seven years, now) and how much I need him to have a total breakdown pre-realization where he just absolutely fucks up his hair. I'm talkin dull scissors in the shower at 3am levels of fucking it up. and then he sits there on the cold tile floor in his big empty house with wet tufts of hair clinging to his skin and cries for 45 minutes straight like a little kid who wants their parents, because he can't tell which way is up anymore and doesn't know what to do.
#steve harrington#trans steve harrington#after he manages to get up and numbly clean off the hair he goes back to bed shivering so badly that his teeth chatter.#the next morning when robin first sees him post-chop she is horrified and worried sick and fails miserably at hiding it <3#maybe she's able to help him salvage it into a cute-if-raggedy bob. or maybe not.#either way the experience sends him down the express lane of Realizing Some Things about himself.#steve to me is the epitome of the post that goes 'i'm probably nonbinary but i have a job so idrc about that right now'#except his is#'i don't think i'm a man but i've been on the brink of death fighting monsters for five years running so idrc about that right now'#eddie finding this out later on: well at least you didn't try setting your hair on fire like i did haha#steve: you did-- what?#gray's talkin tag

do i make ashara more devoted to mythal post trespasser or do i alienate her from the evanuris entirely. is she immune to propaganda by virtue of how badly solas damaged her ability to believe in anything or is she especially vulnerable to it now bc she still WANTS to believe in anything. is she sporting subtle mythal details in her costume design or is she not
#love talking to myself on tumblr dot com <3#oc: ashara#i feel like she's always believed in the principles/vague mythos of the evanuris more than taking it all at face value#so even tho she might know the truth abt the evanuris she would still hold mythal's values of justice close to her and express it thru her#but also like. having MET mythal. and drank from her well. actually meeting not just the gods but YOUR god and her being confirmed the#''nicer'' one who tells u that ur cool and are doing a good job... idk. i think theres a possibility of her being manipulated/doubling down#and like.. she got rid of her vallaslin for solas and then HE left. her inquisition is frail her relationship with her clan is frail#her family is mostly dead lol. no arm no anchor...... like. mythal's approval + the well is all she REALLY has at this point#and she gets attached to people. to things. so so much .idk. its tricky bc shes lonely and needs some sort of SOMETHING to keep her going#but she also deeply believes in The Truth and accepting reality even if it sucks. so idk if she'd hold on to smth just out of comfort/habit#bc shes a pragmatist at heart and open to change. but like circumstances are sort of pushing her to her brink lol#i genuinely have no idea. maybe the secret third answer is that This is the problem shes facing in datv#the crisis of faith. wanting to stand by her ideals versus wanting to feel held by SOMETHING even if its a lie#and a character breakdown as a result that could go one of two ways#man its so funny talking abt her like shes a Real character i am being paid to write. insane that im doing this for free for an audience of#like 3 people who care JKJGFKJFGKJGKF

i had to take a beta blocker today because my heart rate wasn't slowing down and i was able to go to work but then i came home and literally felt like i was suffocating 🧍♂️ my heart rate was absolutely fine but i felt like i was running out of oxygen and was going to die. it took two hours for it to pass. never in my 7 years of anxiety have i felt so weak and such strong physical symptoms. i'm so full of life and i had so many plans and i keep getting my hopes up that it'll get better soon but it isn't and there's literally nothing i can do except waiting and coping with it
#physical and mental health stuff#🦇#and you may ask yourself 'why are you still going to work if you feel on the brink of death on a daily basis' well i'm stubborn#and also i can't get a long sick leave. i would just get fired#and i do like my job. but it's my body turning against me for no fucking reason#each week i deal with new symptoms that have no medical explanation and it just feels like a bad taste joke

Remembering William Friedkin 1935-2023
Director William Friedkin has died at 87. He will forever be known for 2 classics from the 1970s: The French Connection, which he won an Oscar for directing, and The Exorcist, considered by many to be the scariest movie of all time. In the case of French Connection, it was an awesome 70s NY cop film and that car chase scene of Popeye Doyle (Gene Hackman) driving underneath the above ground train is one possibly the greatest car chases in movie history. I don't know that I would say Exorcist is THE scariest movie ever, but it's up there in the Top 5 for me. The other film of his I was a big fan of was the bank robbery film The Brink's Job.
Friedkin directing Hackman
In the 80s, he did some music videos for Laura Branigan, Wang Chung, and Barbara Streisand. He also did a good 1992 episode of Tales from the Crypt.
In my directing class in college, the teacher mentioned a few of the legendary tales of Friedkin. In 2020, I got to review the documentary Leap of Faith: William Friedkin on The Exorcist. The doc was average, but there were more than a few engaging directing stories from Friedkin.
The link above is the obit from Hollywood Reporter.

Might be a hot take but a major character’s death is really only as good as the weight and the treatment that the narrative gives it. Sure, any author has the ability to write death as they see fit. But whether the consumer (of any given form of media) is actually able to emotionally connect and resonate with the departure of someone who has occupied a good chunk of narrative space very heavily depends on how it’s treated within the story. If it’s a major character, the narrative needs enough built-in breathing space. As in, the consumer doesn’t have to fill in the blanks as to how the death impacted the plot or the remaining characters. Let the narrative do that for them, and that would actually allow the consumer to better react and relate to that major death (sadness, anger, joy, etc). Allow the rest of the characters (who were impacted by the deceased) to react to their parting. Let them engage with the death in a manner that helps justify the character’s inclusion in the narrative to begin with. Make it clear how the character’s life and (especially) their death relate to the larger themes of the story. Because most consumers aren’t stupid. We don’t want our hands held at every waking moment, but we also don’t want our investment in a story to be insulted just for the sake of a cheap shock. Give us time to breathe and grieve. And respect that we have put in a lot of emotional investment in a story and its characters, and we deserve to have that acknowledged.
#recent developments in a very popular ip have forced me to think about how creators treat the deaths of major or main characters#and the discourse of ~ohh we don’t need to see every single thing~ has got me thinking#like sure we don’t need to be spoon fed everything but consumers have varying emotional investments depending on the characters#a side character it’s passable if we don’t get any fanfare but a MAIN???#we’ve invested so much into their journey and the themes in their arcs and how they affect the world around them#is it too bad to want that to be actually acknowledged by & within the narrative?#so that whole thing got me to think about main characters whose deaths were well done in fiction#ned stark imo is a really good one because the immediate payoff of his death is the start of the wot5k and long term effect was#that the stark kids now had to fill in their father’s shoes and rise and become leaders in their own right and while we still have twow an#ados we can also tell as shown in adwd that the long term effect of Ned’s legacy is that house stark will be preserved even when it’s on th#brink of extinction#so that’s a well done imo because we also see throughout 4 books just how much his death meant to the kids#his death hurts because we see how his kids are hurting - jon arya sansa bran are GOING THROUGH IT AND IT HURTS!#I’d argue MCU did a pretty good job of showing tony’s everlasting legacy after his death and they did that through Peter who was the proteg#we can love and grieve for tony though peter whom we love and have come to relate to so Tony’s death has a lot of narrative weight#and how it’s handled is satisfying even though we’re hurt that he’s gone#same with sirius and dumbledore in HP - sirius’ especially hits sooo hard because Harry goes absolutely apeshit in ootp and then has to#pick up the pieces in hbp + dumbledore’s life and death is given quite a good amount of narrative space for both harry and the reader#the recent developments in jjk have me worried that a certain someone’s departure won’t be given the narrative weight it deserves#and part of that is gege’s pacing being wonky because oops it’s another big fight that will take god knows how many chapters idk#I’ll wait and see but as of right now….i feel like fan complaints about it shouldn’t be brushed aside because they’re super valid 😕#asoiaf#harry potter#jujutsu kaisen#mcu#marvel#comics#manga

I will say it was extremely funny how my boss and I just had a conversation about how much we've been working on our temper and just letting things go. And how neither of us had lost our temper in two years.... and then both of us blew up over the exact same thing like. Minutes apart. We fail together 🫶
#honestly we have both been working very hard and everyone who's been there for the two journey has noticed#but when i yelled at someone (WHO VERY MUCH DESERVED IT) on wednesday#my boss walked by immediately after i finished yelling at this guy he walked off i turned to my manager and said#''i can't do everything. i cannot POSSIBLY do everything'' and my manager just walks to the back#and i hear him yell ''you want to know why you don't get hours??? this is why you don't get hours. just go home''#like bro it was not our finest moment neither of us should have yelled#but it is extremely funny that we both blew up at the exact same time for the first time in TWO YEARS... together#and i do mean this truly deeply honestly#this guy needed to get yelled at. maybe not back to back! but it's been months of ''serious conversations'' and ''last chances''#and ''come to jesus moments'' and nothing works and he's on the brink of getting fired anyway maybe yelling will actually wake him up!#anyway wednesday worst shift of my life ✌️✌️#oscar talks to himself#oscar has a job and deals with others
