My favorite Halloween read.

When Trump won his first term, I remember a post that read, “this has always been America, you can only see it more clearly now.” It’s at the heart of this story and was my refrain throughout those awful years and it’s been amplified now. People I love, alien to me.

I feel like Young Goodman Brown a lot these days. So many “upstanding” people are chill with white supremacy, Naziism, deadly greed, etc. I feel betrayed by them and also dumb to some degree, the way we feel when we miss red flags 🚩 2/2

RIP Peter Watkins. His whole filmography was an incisive stab to the gut. If you've never seen his work, I recommend starting with Punishment Park, an eternally troubling look at the swings of authoritarianism in motion. It's a masterpiece.

Currently luxuriating in photographer Larry Racioppo's pictures of Halloween in Brooklyn in the 1970s, which are absolutely lovely and giving me a total flashback to my childhood (thread) #Halloween

If you sit on a church porch at midnight on Halloween, you will see a procession of all the people who are destined to die in the parish during the next year 💀

Let me just dig through the 45 copies of this that I own (across generations, mind you). This is the all-time “physical media” movie. One of them is fleshy.

It sounds like bullshit, but I saw this seated next to Bruce Campbell a mere 1.1 miles from my house at the time. Surreal experience.

Preparing to teach I Live in Fear tomorrow by watching this 1956 documentary about the hibakusha (survivors of the bomb). I highly recommend it. It's beautiful and disturbing. Wish I could watch The World is Terrified: The Reality of the “Ashes of Death” (1957) too, but unfortunately I can't find it

Following Doctor X with Curtiz’s Mystery of the Wax Museum (1933) and it’s equally as gorgeous and dreamy with the two strip color, but goodness gracious Glenda Farrell has taken my breath away. Hilarious, fiery, thirty miles a minute and thirty steps ahead. She’s robbing this movie blind!

The dialogue is a whole other thing but the bit about "fuck you shoot me I'll die for this shit" and the reaction is the crux here, from Gandhi's time on down, no authoritarian in history ever knows how to respond to this and it's why it beats them whenever deployed

Our entire economy is now AI and crypto speculation and sports betting. All three of them are just pure gambling and the closest one of them to not being total random chance is sports betting.
