Sweet yet menacing.

Just like we like him.

Elvis Presley as Jimmy Tompkins (Deke Rivers) in "Loving You" (1957) – Dir. Hal Kanter · Paramount Pictures.

#got a lot o' livin' to do!#great phrase to have as a new year's mantra isn't it?#life choose this one as my first elvis movie to get a play in 2025... both in the dreams and then in real world #i had a dream today in which i was watching 'loving you'... i swear i saw the little vintage tv and all... elvis was singing in the scene #it's funny to me how much i love 'loving you' since elvis' late 60s films and his maturer image and voice are my favorite versions of him #it must be something about how this movie was supposed to parallel the real life of Elvis what made me so in love with it #also... i love that scene! I think it's funny how he sings a gleeful song with those somewhat scornful faces #elvis presley #elvis history #elvis films #elvis movies #loving you #1957 #50s films #50s movies #50s icons #elvis #50s elvis #elvis the king #lol

community college is so funny because half of the teachers are like "For this class you need to use lockdown browser for all quizzes and tests. You need to buy this 70 dollar textbook, and all papers turned in must be in APA format with a title page even if they're only 500 words long. I will not accept late assignments. Also you have a minimum of 4 assignments a week." and the other half are like "you don't need proctoring for the final exam I trust you. here's a download link to a pirated copy of the textbook. as long as your writing is coherent and demonstrates an understanding of the material I literally could not care less what format you use. I can't figure out how canvas works so I'm not giving you due dates, just make sure it's turned in before the grading period ends. your only weekly assignment is a forum post with a minimum of 100 words."

#my favorite teacher so far is still the film history professor I had in my first semester.#he was very old and didn't understand how canvas worked at all and sometimes had trouble opening a video file #but simultaneously he was tech literate enough to recommend we use firefox with an ad blocker #because whenever someone missed class and was like 'where do i go to find the movie' he'd be like 'use an ad blocker and google it'#he said the school made him stop emailing links to free movie sites because people would open them on chrome with no ad block #and there'd be borderline malware on them. like this guy gave me the impression he was like. a veteran movie pirate lol.#that class had barely any assignments. like there wasn't a final exam or anything.#he just wanted us to write a paragraph or so answering a few questions about the movies we watched. it was chill.#and i also learned a lot actually. like i didn't know what a nickelodeon was before then. or the Hays Code.#the movies were genuinely good. i never thought Id be that into old black and white movies or westerns for example but they actually slapped #some of them had really mature themes and i definitely started to understand the people on this website who are like #'if the only media you consume is children's media you should maybe branch out instead of calling steven universe problematic'#because a lot of the movies we watched depicted very 'problematic' things and were able to directly address them because they are for adults #(to clarify I didn't just like kids media before then. i just mean that it introduced me to some older stuff i didn't think I'd like)#(but i ended up liking a lot. it also made me realize that movies made today are kind of shit. which i also already knew)#(but it put it more into perspective because I have more to compare it to)#im rambling now. community college is pretty swag i enjoy it. and i do get along with the teachers who have crazy requirements too lol.

60 years ago - on November 16th, 1964, the Animals recorded "Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood"!! 🐾✨️

I LOVE THIS SONG I LOOOOOVE IT SO MUCH.#such a great cover and really demonstrates the animals' range when it comes to r&b #a great follow-up to 'i'm crying' because the lyrical/melodic progression of both songs are very similar #('boom boom' came out inbetween them BUT THE POINT STILL STANDS)#btw speaking of price-burdon the b-side is 'club a-go-go' by alan price and eric burdon teehee #THANK YOU MICKIE MOST. FOR LETTING THEM USE ONE OF THEIR ORIGINALS ON THE B-SIDE.#also this is The Song i think of when i think about how great of a drummer john is and how his jazzy style permeates through their music #i'M ALWAYS TAPPING ALONG TO JOHN'S BEAT IN THIS SONG #anyway aaAAAAA GONNA WORK ON MY PROJECT ALL DAY TODAY. SCHOOL'S OUT ANIMALS IN. DR PEPPER AND MIGRAINE MEDICATION: TAKEN.#the footage is from 'pop gear'/'go go mania' by the way!!! filmed in early 1965!!#since this song wasn't released until january of 1965 and alan has his SWOOPY BANGS #eric burdon #alan price #hilton valentine #chas chandler #john steel #the animals #classic rock #british rock #british invasion #60s rock #the girl can't help it #ICONIC MOMENTS IN ANIMALS HISTORY that i did NOT forget about this year!!!!!!#i have a running trend of forgetting about November 16th bUT MICKIE MOST HIT ME OVER THE HEAD AND I DIDN'T THIS TIME #alan also had a concert this week which kept me sane 🥹

Kindred MC is up there with most unrealistic MCs ever for exactly one reason

She has a history degree, time powers, and not once (that I remember) did she ever express an interest in going back in time to a bunch of different time periods to watch everything go on!

She's a fake nerd!

#own post #playchoices #choices kindred #kindred mc #this is entirely caused by the fact that I watched the film waterloo today and i sm a history student #I WANT TO WATCH THE BATTLES HOW CAN YOU NOT WANT THAT. GIRL

wanna make something really fucking weird in david lynch’s honor. working in marketing has made my work far too palatable that i’ve forgotten the core reason i fell in love with film/video: making weird freaky shit

#actually heartbroken in ways i can’t properly express. i cannot understate the impact he had on my life.#i never would have considered a job in video let alone film if it wasn’t for him #his work shaped me as a creative BIG TIME. twin peaks literally changed the chemistry in my brain #i remember in film history we talked about him and my face lit up so significantly my prof pointed it out #husband has never seen any of his films. perhaps today is the day.#em’s ponderings #david lunch

I just remembered how my friend’s dad told me with a serious face that my tribe is full of cannibals and that there were savages hiding in the woods we lived near. Like wtf. I didn’t know how to respond

Build a time machine, kill Christopher Columbus

#We read some of his stuff in my Monster Studies class #Because of the whole Unknown Cultures are Monstrous theme throughout history #And he's the one who spread the rumour that Caribbean native people are cannibals to justify enslaving them #And it spread to All American Indigenous People are Cannibals myths #And tbf cannibalism does exist in some cultures around the world like on Papua New Guinea #But it's ritual cannibalism #There's this hugely controversial and misunderstood film I like called Cannibal Holocaust #And it's about an anthropologist travelling to the amazon to find a missing documentary film crew #And he finds out they have been cannibalised but then he recovers their film material #And it turns out they tortured and killed the locals to portray them as bloodthirsty savages so they definitely had it coming and were #Actually killed in self defense #And yeah the film is not perfect but it really nails the colonial era myth making still influencing people today #Asks
