i posted about it already but the new kiss of the spider woman (also in theatres rn) has mr. andor being a radical revolutionary again but this time he's sweatier, more tortured, and bisexual. way bleaker tone but sharper political commentary, albeit not as bleak or as sharp as the 1985 movie?

yea critically i have hang-ups about it, but as a hollywood blockbuster with big names designed to politically energize a mass audience, i think it's very successful and tbh the impact matters more than anything else for something like this

toured the letterpress studio w/ my graphic design class... it's gorgeous, i got to try the manual press a little which was very satisfying

moveable type/letterpress studio and students making books for their class

a hand-operated letterpress that's probably from the 60s or something

dreamy or fugue-like disconnected storytelling can be very evocative but risks being just Vibes if there isn't enough work put into delivering a coherent theme or message i guess? like i wanna know what the Real is under the hyperreal. ends up feeling a bit sauceless to me idk

yea i had convos after with someone who's familiar with pynchon's work and from the sounds of it the film's a faithful adaptation of his writing style and pacing, for better or worse

i do think the ending is seriously defanged compared to the 1985 adaptation, too much is done to tie it up emotionally and ease the viewer's conscience over letting that moment breathe. it's doing Dismally in the box office, it's worth seeing, i should probably read the book too lol

i was skeptical of this turning into a musical (im now finding out there was a broadway adaptation?) but they pulled it off in an interesting way that made sense for the meta-narrative; the musicality is more a device for dividing the fantastical/escapist vs. bleak reality. tonatiuh is great in this

funny, there's another movie in theatres rn also about revolution but actually about the interpersonal, n about the risks and sacrifice of revolution but w/ more teeth and more grounded in reality n it's called Kiss of the Spiderwoman (if it's anything like the 1985 version). it's also gay and trans
