  • And that’s it, that’s those little…brave baby steps we gotta take. To try and…become whole again, try and find purpose. But you gotta move on. You gotta move on.

  • Just finished rewatching Taxi (1932) with Jimmy Cagney and what a stupid delight it is. Cabbies vs the mob! An impromptu tough guy foxtrot competition! Two married people who kind of profoundly dislike each other but also love each other! Cagney apparently being somewhat solidly bilingual! Good old pre-code live ammunition! Leila Bennett’s weird fucking delivery and Loretta Young being Loretta Young! Some asshole getting thrown out of a window for real! What more could you want?

    (Also not for nothing but every time I start writing pre-war Rogers-Barnes household interactions my brain starts playing a loop of the scene where a (very bewildered, very Irish) cop asks (very amused, also very Irish) Cagney where his family’s from in Ireland after he witnesses him having this whole ass conversation in Yiddish with some guy and Cagney, cool as a cucumber, replies “Delancey Street”. Peak, truly.)

    adding another point to the ‘there’s no way bucky wasn’t obsessed with jimmy cagney at some point’ listbogart and gable and grant and stewart and astaire are all well and good buttell me 15 yearold bucky didn’t go through a (completely ridiculous) 'down on his luck fast-talking tough guy' phaselike every pre-voice drop middle class teenager that was way too into the sopranos and breaking badtell me he didn't look at that very angry very short very blond pro-union motherfucker and think 'yeah ok. that one'look me in the eyes and tell me that. tell me steve didn’t make fun of his ass for it for years and years.which of course came back to bite him when yankee doodle dandy came out and the howlies started singing that damn song at himup and down and across the european theatergod I love some of these movies they're so ridiculousmax.txt

  • the way fandom views critique of their special thing as Hate that should be violently pushed back on and vague'd about is so lame to me. If you love something I think you should be able to approach the nuances that are inherently applied by the fact all art is made by people with world views

  • luciferinn

    I don't know I engage with a lot of art that is very divisive and contentious because I think the way the complications of people mix with technical know how is interesting and worth talking about and noting and you can gush about the beauty of the writing of a line and the craft in the same breath as a critique about it's implications it doesn't make the other untrue and you Should be talking about it if you claim to love something
