Glenn?

Or Rudolph?

Both starred in movie adaptations of The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse, written by Vicente Blasco Ibáñez.

The 1921 version was directed by Rex Ingram and the 1962 version by Vincent Minnelli, who knew how to shoot his was around a fireplace

Who did it better?

Cabin in the Sky (1943)

When you finally see Cabin in the Sky, I know exactly what your reaction will be. You'll be yelling at the screen saying "How is it I’m only getting to this movie now?" With an all-black cast, this musical from the forties should by all reason be a classic. Even with its heavy Christian themes and a storytelling style that you don’t see much anymore (and I’m not talking about the singing), it’s so playful and innocent it should have a much larger following than it does.

Little Joe (Eddie "Rochester" Anderson) has been trying to put away his gambling obsession with the help of his strong-willed wife, Petunia (Ethel Waters). When he is killed over a gambling debt, the angel "The General" (Kenneth Spencer) gives him one more chance to change his ways but only because he committed a single sin too many and is facing an eternity in Hell. Feeling cheated, Lucifier Jr. (The son of Satan himself, played by Rex Ingram) doubles down on his efforts to make Little Joe return to his sinful ways.

It’s hard not to think of The Wizard of Oz and It’s a Wonderful Life when viewing Cabin in the Sky. The actors who play "The General" and Lucifer Jr. also play characters in Little Joe’s life. His death at the beginning of the film is an opportunity for him to return to the real world and see how different choices could affect his life (but in this case, for the better). There’s a lot of talk about Heaven and Hell but the film is showing us its own interpretation of what one’s battle for their soul might look like rather than sticking to what the Pastor might say. It’s in black and white. It’s a musical. All of these make it feel like a movie you’ve gathered around and watched with the family dozens of times over the years. Doubly so if you're Black because of the cast, the good message and the overall tone, which is perfectly suited for every member of the family.

While the songs featured may not stick in your head long after the movie ends, they fit the story so well that taking them out would be unthinkable. They’re wonderfully playful and expertly performed. Ethel Waters, in particular, is so strong she'll make you forgive the film for cutting short Louis Armstrong’s trumpeting solo (which leaves him with only a small part as one of Lucifer Jr.’s minions). Whenever she and Eddie Anderson are together, you completely believe them as a couple. You can feel the love between them and this makes you crave a happy ending. If only Little Joe can figure himself out!

There’s an air of innocence about the whole thing, even when beautiful gold-digger Georgia Brown (Lena Horne) comes around to seduce Little Joe (what he could’ve done to ever garner her attention is a mystery so you just know she’s up to no good). Lucifer Jr.’s menacing but not all that scary and when Rex Ingram smiles, you can’t help yourself; you do too. His smile is so infectious… maybe the apple does fall far from the tree sometimes? Probably not but he’s so charismatic you kind of like him as the villain.

If certain aspects of the film feel like they’re a little bit on-the-nose, a bit much, just give the film the benefit of the doubt and keep watching. Things all come together in the end in an unexpected way… but simultaneously not. "Oh, of course!" you’ll say as the picture closes. "In this kind of movie, that’s exactly how things should go!" If it were made today, you’d call it a cheat and it is a bit in a way but it’s fine to make the choices it makes once in a while. Particularly in these older movies, it just feels right.

Cabin in the Sky is a product of its time and some of the characters might be described as broad or stereotypical but it’s just so charming you won't care. It’s fine to have a movie like this one once in a while. You could say the same thing about musicals as a whole. Its performers, songs, jovial tone and uplifting story, along with a nostalgic feel throughout make it a winner, maybe even a new favorite. (June 18, 2021)

Congrats to the ultimate winner of the Hot & Vintage Movie Men Tournament, Mr. Toshiro Mifune! May he live happily and well where the sun always shines, enjoying the glories of a battle hard fought.

A loving farewell to all of our previous contestants, who are now banished to the shadow realm and all its dark joys and whispered horrors—I hear there's a picnic on the village green today. If you want to remember the fallen heroes, you can find them all beneath the cut.

What happens next? I'll be taking a break of two weeks to rest from this and prep for the Hot & Vintage Ladies Tournament. I'll still be around but only minimally, posting a few last odes to the hot men before transitioning into a little early ladies content, just like I did with this last tournament. The submission form for the Hot & Vintage Ladies tournament will remain up for one more week (closing February 21st), so get your submissions in for that asap! Once the form closes, there will be one more week of break. The first round of the Hot & Vintage Ladies Tournament will be posted on February 29th, as Leap Year Day seems like a fitting allusion to leaping into these ladies' arms.

How the JW x SPVTW AU is going

I might change around some people since OC’s from my friends + characters from other movies will be added and stuff, but this is what I have as of now

I mainly didn’t use their actual movie selves because of hair and the lack of formality in this AU so everyone’s hair will be drawn differently other than Ares for the most part‼️

The rundown

Santino - Scott Pilgrim

Ares - Kim Pine

Gianna - Stacey Pilgrim (but instead his older sister)

Marquis (Vincent) - “Envy” Adams

Chidi - Todd Ingram

Caine - Lucas Lee

John Wick - Gideon Graves

Louis Armstrong, Rex Ingram and Mantan Moreland in Vincente Minnelli’s CABIN IN THE SKY (1943)

[dancingafterdark]

a messy compilation of haphazard summaries for all my original horror wips

because they’ve been stuck in my head for way too long and i’d like to subject them to the unsuspecting masses-

(i’m terrible at summaries; don’t bully me pls)

and part-way back; or, an american gothic

an anthology of interconnected horror stories set during the 1920s, primarily inspired by the stories of lovecraft and his pulp fiction contemporaries and folklore; essentially, it’s a love letter to gothic american horror, with all the monsters and messy queer themes that entails. such tales include the story of a pinkerton agent hunting a wanted murder suspect who had seemingly vanished into thin air inexplicably, surrounded by a series of unusual events; a young, brooding girl who returns home from her studies upon the sudden death of her father, only to find a mysterious summon for her to collect her inheritance at a notorious ghost town suspected of occult activity; a former wwi medic reluctantly joins a fishing crew to help support his struggling family, only to find himself in over his head when they stumble across a seemingly abandoned ship in the pacific with all her crew members dead, and yet there’s no trace of the murderer; a journalist scraping by on sensationalist pulp magazine articles who sees her neighbor suddenly jump to his death right in front of her, and the strange events that soon start to haunt her; a father detailing his first time meeting his in-laws in their strange little seaside town and coming to the daunting realization of the horrible fate awaiting his unborn child; a recently widowed Norwegian woman translating her late husband’s journals documenting his fateful final sailing trip and discovering horrible secrets that may cost her her life; and a struggling p.i. with an elusive past, a fake name, and strange preternatural abilities of his own takes up a case regarding a missing family from a mysterious client — and discovers some crucial things about himself as well in the process. 

sweetest tooth

a collection of dark fairy tale retellings, such as this gothic rendition of snow white and rose red:  a young, troubled woman struggling with insomnia, rosalie “rose” hofmann works night shifts as a mortician for family friend, prestigious funeral home operator, vincent de ingram, and is trying to cope with the suicide of her mentally-troubled older sister. while working on the body of an unidentified female murder victim, she suddenly blacks out and after waking up in the hospital, she begins to notice strange things happening in the world that don't seem to make any sense. these peculiarities all comes to a head on the third day when her childhood best friend and first love, bianca de ingram, shows up on her doorstep one cold, winter’s night, beautiful as ever. rose never expected to see her ever again, let alone standing right in front of her, alive and well. bianca had been found dead in an abandoned mineshaft in the spring following her fourteenth birthday. rose was there. she touched her cheek the best she could through the thick plastic of the body bag, saw her naked body on that familiar silver table, watched her marble casket be lowered into the ground… nothing, however, could prepare her for this, let alone the first three words shared between them after seven long years:  “I killed someone.”

amusement

the harrowing tale in which two teenage runaways with a dark secret stumble across a travelling carnival seemingly stuck in time — and soon find themselves trapped within its eldritch grounds. now, in order to escape with their lives, they must survive, alongside the other hapless guests, the many perilous acts awaiting their gleeful participation; they must give a good show, lest they be devoured by the mysterious carnival’s unquenchable appetite for the next dazzling act. 

all the interesting people are missing 

this is the story of franklin “frank” zachariah wallace: an unremarkable middle-aged man with a dead end job, no children or significant other, who lives alone with his mother in the old house at the end of the street right next to the creek and hasn’t been to church much lately — he’s killed four hitchhiking teenagers in the summer of 1976, and he just murdered his mother. fully aware that his days are numbered, frank stuffs his mother’s corpse in the boot of his beat-up cadillac and makes a break for his late grandfather’s cabin in the mountains of the pacific northwest where he can die by his own hand; along the way, he abducts seventeen year-old miranda carlyle: honor’s student, captain of the cheer squad, and darling homecoming queen who wants nothing more than to die young and beautiful under tragic circumstances, and seizes the opportunity when she finds herself trapped in a car with a serial killer, much to frank’s bewilderment. this kidnapping soon turns into an unconventional road trip from their podunk virginian town to washington sees the unlikely pair pondering their circumstances and helping each other confront their demons the only way they know how. 

doublewalker

eve meyers, a traumatized homicide detective, investigates a series of abductions and murders occurring around her small town. the latest victim is a stripper who happens to not only look exactly like her, but also shares significant details with her such as their birthday and a distinct birthmark on their shoulder — despite this, they are not biologically twins and have never met. meyers soon realizes this is the work of an unidentified serial killer who specifically targets these “twin strangers” and had kidnapped and tortured her to near death a year ago and is hoping to finish the job.

i also have more than a handful of short stories, and one-shots in the fanfiction sphere, in progress, but my (likely undiagnosed) adhd can only handle so much lol; all of the above are at various stages of development, and i never linger on one idea for too long despite my best judgement.

i may make another post like this detailing all my fanfic wips and ideas, i dunno~

A-T-3 309 Love Is The Message

Two versions of MFSB's Love Is The Message that were pressed to record in 1983

Love Is The Message is originally released in on the album of the same name in 1973 its 6m35, a single version is released with vocals by The Three Degrees. Some time after that Walter Gibbons makes an extended edit of the break, I've tried to find out for sure but to no avail because I get the impression this comes out before Tom Moulton's remix for the 1977 compilation Philadelphia Classics four-years after the original release, that's the 11m27s version (it's not by Larry Levan!) The Tom Moulton remix doesn't get released as a stand alone 12" single until 1979. In 1980 Shep Pettibone airs his Love Is The Message Mastermix and a year after that in 1981 TJ Swann records Get Fly a disco rap over a rerecord of Love Is The Message. Its 1982 Fred Zarr and Began Cekic release two rerecorded versions of Love Is The Message on his One Way label, one as Brooklyn Express mixed by Tee Scott and another under the Hi Tension name remixed by M+M (this had Tee Scott's Somewhere Beyond on the b-side), the M+M/Hi Tension version is rereleased in 1983 as Scratch Is The Message, guess what they've done!

1983 is the year we're interested in

Salsoul Orchestra - Ooh I Love It (Love Break)

This is the most interesting of the 1983 versions. It's mixed by Shep Pettibone who did his legendary Mastermix version in 1980. It's by the Salsoul Orchestra and not MFSB. The orchestras were on different labels but share many of the same players. It mixes MFSB's Love Is The Message with the Salsoul Orchestra's Chicago Bus Stop (Ooh I Love It) from their self-titled debut 1975 album. On paper this is a cover of Montana's Chicago Bus Stop rather than Gamble & Huff who wrote Love Is The Message but to the ears it's both in equal parts. Montana was the vibes player for MFSB, he also arranges and produces a track on the album Love Is The Message but leaves to form the Salsoul Orchestra in 1974. In 1982 the same year the Salsoul Orchestra disbands Vincent Montana Jr's new Montana Sextet releases Heavy Vibes which is already marrying the similarities of Love Is The Message with Chicago Bus Stop. Shep Pettibone's Ooh I Love It (Love Break) truly is a mastermix of the lot, this mix began it's own branch that would see Madonna and Shep Pettibone going to court over a sample in the pairs single Vogue.

The 12" has the classic Shep Pettibone mix on it, an instrumental workout more like Heavy Vibes but with a full orchestra called the Love Break Groove and the Love Break Version which has a male vocal chanting "lets take a love break" on it, it's this version that's on the 1994 Salsoul Orchestra Anthology

The talented vocalists on the classic version are Barbara Ingram, Carla Benson, and Evette Benton

High Voltage -  Love Is The Message (Scratch The Message)

Hi Voltage's 1982 re-record mixed by M+M with added scratches. You may have noticed scratches, raps, references to "breaks" were very hip in 1983. Anyway there are a few tricks on here that turn up on Mr.K's re-edit a few years later although I couldn't tell you if Shep Pettibone or Walter Gibbons had done things like loop Earl Young's drum fill. I wonder is DJs ever played this and pretended to scratch?

[hotvintagepoll]

Van Helsing is described at length in the novel. He is Dr. Seward's old mentor, possessing "an iron nerve, a temper of the ice-brook, an indomitable resolution, self-command, [....] and the kindliest and truest heart that beats." According to Mina, he is "a man of medium height, strongly built, with his shoulders set back over a broad, deep chest and a neck well balanced on the trunk as the head is on the neck. The poise of the head strikes me at once as indicative of thought and power. The head is noble, well-sized, broad, and large behind the ears. The face, clean-shaven, shows a hard, square chin, a large resolute, mobile mouth, a good-sized nose, rather straight, but with quick, sensitive nostrils, that seem to broaden as the big bushy brows come down and the mouth tightens. The forehead is broad and fine, rising at first almost straight and then sloping back above two bumps or ridges wide apart, such a forehead that the reddish hair cannot possibly tumble over it, but falls naturally back and to the sides. Big, dark blue eyes are set widely apart and are quick and tender or stern with the man's moods." Van Helsing tends to talk through funny stories and bizarre metaphors, is one of the first to consider the supernatural in Lucy's illness, and comes from Amsterdam.
