  • Another facet (at least specifically in America) is to de-stigmatize discussing personal income among the working class. We’ve been melt-brained hard to think it’s as private and taboo as discussing one’s most deep and darkest sexual kinks when really it’s just a tool of the owners to keep workers indentured in the wage-slave economy.









  • Can’t say it’s the best but a really good one is Sir Arne’s Treasure. Its a silent film (which is a misnomer because they were always accompanied by live music back in the day). But it’s beautifully shot.

    There is some very incredible work in films leading up until the introduction of recorded audio which basically threw cinematography back a good 40 years in development due to the noise they created and how actors had to be blocked to just record their dialog.








  • It was originally Garfield without Garfield which took the inimitable inability to tell a joke that Jim Davis is capable of and transformed the comic into (most of the time) an exploration of existential nightmare. It just doesn’t hit the same with Heathcliff because most of them are actually endearing and bizarre—without the cat for the physical gag it’s just kind of confusing and not much else.
