The Fountainhead (1949) dir. King Vidor

[recycledmoviecostumes]

This dress is an example of the same actress wearing the same costume twice. The reuse does seem to be intentional.

Patricia Neal wore this black gown trimmed with white fur in the 1949 film adaptation of Ayn Rand's The Fountainhead. The same year, she wore the dress in It’s a Great Feeling, which takes place in a movie studio. Neal, along with several other actors played themselves in the film, and the reuse of her costume indicates that in the world of It’s a Great Feeling, Neal was filming The Fountainhead.

Rambles on Austin American Psycho and how he would look like

So, I had been contemplating a post on projects I would die to see him do. And, just my luck that'll American Psycho was on it. Maybe, just maybe, by making this draft public, I may also get my other wishes fulfilled (I need an Austin Howard Roark, I need an Austin Sonny Crockett)? Cause I have a couple of others as well, where his perfect face, perfect body and perfect play would just be perfect.

Anyhow. We live now, so I started thinking about how he would look like in American Psycho...

This means:

The typical Hollywood take on corporate Wall Street look - so not the actually business attire we have in the financial world, which is way too informal for our man. No, full on tailored suit and everything. And, with a tie, so we won't see him flaunting his perfect chest in every shot

The beard goes. Not a single hair around his mouth and jaw. Clean shaven, always

Fairly long hair, slick back. Just a bit too much gel

Way too expensive watch, cufflinks and the works. Our man is well put together

Let's not forget the scent! Hmm, perhaps even his YSL perfume

And... his face will be empty, like the first shot below. No emotions, nothing there, until he goes in for the hunt. Then he turns dark, menacing, hunting, daunting.

To sell your soul is the easiest thing in the world. That's what everybody does every hour of his life. If I asked you to keep your soul - would you understand why that's much harder?

You understand

March 19, 2024

Sourced from page 521 of The Fountainhead by Ayn Rand.

Text under the cut

"... I want you. You understand."

"I do."

Hand lying, the long fingers folded carelessly. He looked - thought, 'how beautiful'.

"Now you know what I want. I want... Oh, forgive me. Too much."

Hand moved. He took the fingers - the skin had grooves.

"You'll have myself. If you wish"

"You want me? I have no idea how"

"I can answer nothing to you. I never make any conditions. But I know I want this."

"Will you promise?"

"I promise."

We are poisoned by the superstition of the ego.
