To the flist: I've read your posts <3 Will get to the comments asap




Back in February, the F.W. Murnau Stiftung showed HD restorations of both the German and the English versions of Die letzte Kompagnie.

Me: I don't care for Die letzte Kompagnie.
Me: OMG HD restorations! Gimme!

You can watch what little footage has been released to us-mortals here. Never seen it so clear. They used two international release versions as a basis for the restorations, which had intertitles, as is custom with early talkies. Now I wonder if the lights of heaven that appear in the version making the rounds are the missing frames that would have otherwise be the intertitles.




The Spy in Black: The Book is... an interesting read. It's not bad, but there's a reason why the movie is basically its own thing. There's a lot of characters, some are even introduced halfway through. The writing is simple, but paints a full scene. It also ends up repeating itself a lot. And I don't see why there's a need to go "I said, he said" at every bit of dialogue. I haven't finished it yet btw.

The rest is down here )




Here's a couple of funny dreams:

A new Judex movie which started as a fancy period-piece (very 19th-century-ish), then quickly transitioned into a modern-day setting. Pretty sure the baddies were hiding in my granmother's house. The movie got bored with himself, turning into a Judex vs Yakuza thing (also Yu-Gi-Oh is there). There were also giant pineapples, the size of a person. That's important somehow.


Laserdisc version of The Thief of Bagdad was found, and it had missing scenes. I wonder why I dream of it even if I'm not that into it.





Bristol's Cinema Rediscovered has many things, including two showings of Queen Kelly.

University of Pennsylvania's list of online books :D

Roy Glashan's Library and Global Grey Books are yet some other places to get public domain books

    Dedicated to [personal profile] elisi for her support, and recs, and for making me look at my writing anew every time. 


      Vocation

       by Carol Ann Duffy

      Published in Sincerity (PICADOR POETRY, 2018)

 

      More my shadow than my shadow,

      it is mute, as it must be.

      I walk it along the world's wide road,

      chanting its reticence; what I think it might say

      if it could, or wished to.

 

      If it snags on the hedgerow,

      a nest is a choir I could hold on a glove.

 

      In love, its surface shines like ink;

      I dip my pen again.

 

      But it hoards grief, sometimes for years.

 

 

      So I am supplicant; alert at the lip

      of wordlessness, how can I tell?

      Or it circles me, a sundial's slow arrow,

      patient, waiting to cover my face

      with its scrap of black silk.

 

      Though should it stand still in the lane,

      even the empty chapel speaks in chimes.

 

      I have known it;difficult, accessible.

      It is the taste of imminent weather.

 

      If its eyes smell onions, I shall weep anon.

 



        




    Goddess watch over you all, 

     To elisi, 

        Sometimes I get glimpses of what you see when I write, 
        and for those brief moments I can only thank you, 
           if only inadequately.

 I could have had a free nintendo ship for the cost of shipping it to me and an iphone 16 as well but I ended up spending my money on things I needed instead. I feel momumentally stupid for it. I should have just paid the 35 dollars for it. Instead I bought a memory card for my nintendo switch lite, hopefully I can get my games back and play them again. I miss playing my video games. I'll have to get resident evil 0, 1, RE4 OG and RE6 as well. All the Final Fantasies again too. 

I failed my g.e.d math test the other night, I rescheduled for the test again and I should pass this time. I'm learning how to use the calculator better. It's not that difficult, but sometimes I can't come to the correct conclusion. Let's hope I can get the correct conclusions during the test. I already studied all night long, I just gotta study before 12 A.M tomorrow. 

My mom bought me an exercise machine for my legs, I've been steadily exercising every night since she dropped it off on the 17th. My legs are stronger already. It'll be two months before I'm standing without struggling and three months before i take my first step, but in two months I'll be up to an hour a day using the machine. I appreciate my mother so much despite the fact that it's her fault i can't walk. I'd get into that but I won't. I'm able to put my legs up for lon g periods of time now.

I'll be living in my own home by December or January. I just don't know where in Ohio I want to live. I'm thinking Cleveland, Ohio despite the fact that I won't have any family around. But then in Columbus we have a lot of gay community like stonewell and such. I'm talking to this woman named Cheli, she's a beautiful translady. I think she's serious about us becoming more and I'd like to be there for her journey into transitioning. I'll be transitioning myself as well here shortly. I'll start taking T as soon as I'm walking again.

I'm thinking of shaving my head again, I'm considering it as soon as my mom shows up again. I have a razor for head shaving. I might have the stylist at this facility do my hair instead. Then dye it blonde with violet tips. The condition of my hair is poor however, I need to take better care of it but that starts with shaving my head. Yeah, I'm shaving it. 

Anyway, here's to hoping I pass my test tomorrow night. I can't wait to go to college. I said I would have my g.e.d by the 29th, Let's hope I'm right. i know I pass, I have a better grasp of the calculator now. I should get at least a 156. Which is a passing grade. :D 

I love you flist and I hope you're doing well. Here's to a better tomorrow and a wonderful yesterday.

In honor of the release of Supergirl (2026) film on June 26, 2026 over at [community profile] supergirl_tv we're going to have a drabble/promptathon/prompt meme (whatever you want to call it) focused on Supergirl (any universe).

So from now until June 25th, comment here with prompts & I'll post a masterlist by June 26th at [community profile] supergirl_tv. That gives us about over 5 weeks submit prompts and then a free-for-all to grab the prompts and start writing. There will be no "claiming" or "signing up". You basically have the rest of the Summer to write something for these prompts to help us celebrate the new movie!

PROMPT AS MUCH OR AS LITTLE AS YOU WISH! THE MORE THE MERRIER! You want a full sentence or song title or whatever go ahead, or you can just do simple one or two worded prompts. If you have more than one prompt for a pairing or character, please separate by a comma (such as Barry Allen/Kara Zor-El - bed, kiss, sing battle). More than one prompt can go in a comment; If you're still unsure how to do it, check out my comment below for ideas.

More information here + Comment with prompts!!
