sometimes you just gotta make content for yourself and no one else.
Needed to make an animation for class. Perfect outlet for brain rot
i understand stoners of the 60s and 70s deeply because if i didnt have computer and internet and all i had to entertain myself was prog rock and pulpy sci fi fantasy novels i would be smoking hella and imagining kingdoms of gnomes and alien prophesies all day too and lord knows i would have been impressed by air brush paintings
So close to drawing Winslow beating the shit out of Griffith Berserk because I’m sick of people mistaking him for Griffith
my face when swan stole my music and framed me
I drew screenshots in oil pastel earlier today (^_^)
life's like a movie, write your own ending
While I normally prefer The Flesh over The Metal, it would be really sick to have a voice modulator installed. To be able to just unleash a glitching, distorted scream as catharsis.
phantom of the paradise novelization liveblog here we go
I don't know that much about maine but I feel neutral about winslow being from there. he does strike me as a northerner, as well as someone from a small town
(paraphrasing but) "it was kind of winslow's fault his piano teacher killed himself" HUH???
"alan d. swan" holy moly at least "dorian" had some pizzazz
also winslow being 18 and not even out of high school is. a choice. in my opinion having him be in his 30s is more compelling
"phoenix" being a stage name does make sense but idk I kinda liked the idea her parents just named her that
this really does read like bad fanfic but it's not especially funny, just sort of dull... though there are some particularly egregiously bad moments, those aren't funny either
"autistic blob" CHRIST
winslow does not beat up any guards but the description of him losing his grip just makes me think of that "I'm insaaane... I'm crazayyy" video
whyyyy is this book so racist.
winslow just goes back to his old hotel after being in prison for four months and being horribly disfigured in the record press accident. ok man.

It's been a tumultuous week, but you can't stop the sound of the future. The Paradise's doors will finally open tonight at 7. See you all there, and make sure you've got your tickets ready. Love, Swan.

Happy 70th Suicidal Swan Sells His Soul To Satan Saturday Sunday
I swear to God Faust is the biggest piece of shit ever I am hating every second I spend studying Goethe's Faust cause everything about it is infuriating, first of all its dumb protagonist.
i think that phantom of the paradise should have been 45 minutes longer and the extra 45 minutes is just a montage of winslow attempting to kill swan or terrorize the paradise in various comedically ineffective ways and swan keeps reading him increasingly hyperspecific contract clauses and scolding him like a kindergartner
Learning the alphabet has never been this groovy
Got sidetracked from sewing together my Phoenix costume doing this, whoops. I mean hey, at least this was sort of productive. That's two Phantom tracks down, 43 to go.
Happy 49th anniversary, Phantom Of The Paradise!
just gonna plug this fan restoration here - dr. saperstein restores a lot of original footage and uncensors those ugly bird mattes throughout the film, which were edited in last-minute to conceal any trace of the "Swan Song" label (of which Death Records is a subsidiary), as the copyright for Swan Song Records was nabbed by Led Zeppelin a mere five months before the film's release.
The restoration itself has some video editing/color grading issues but they're not too hard to get past
you can read more about the whole debacle here
