‘Thoth and the Chief Magician’, 1925. Evelyn Pau
so here it is finally, a doc with a lot (900+) of film books that i’ve collected for some years now. i’ve separated them into a few categories of personal interest (like horror films, women in horror, silent films, world cinema etc), but there’s all kinds of subjects really. enjoy & please be nice.
(here’s a pdf version in case the original isn’t showing for everyone, i recommend downloading it, the links are all there)
you need to listen to Bruce Springsteen’s live albums not just his studio stuff because his crowd work has three modes it’s either “Clarence you should walk me on a leash” or “one time I fell down the stairs and I still think about it….do you still think about it?” or “this songs for my dad who only loved me sort of which was worse than not at all. he’s not in the crowd tonight. or maybe he is. if you see him please god tell me.” and before anyone can react to any of that he’s hootin and hollerin and Clarence Clemons is doing things with a saxophone that are now illegal in more than 15 US states
