Today I read @deepimpactcrier.bsky.social’s INCREDIBLE piece on myth language in 28 YEARS LATER and the necessity of its reverence of death in a time of “mass dulling of sensitivity amidst digital and material realities that are saturated with violence and barbarism” www.patreon.com/posts/147785...

Over on Patreon - Carlee (@deepimpactcrier.bsky.social) discusses the mode of mythic storytelling as an antidote to the anesthesia induced by the Language of Empire and Danny Boyle's 28 YEARS LATER as a modern example of epic poetic form. See below.

He's also responsible for raising all the money that paid for bringing Hollingsworth v. Perry & even more importantly Bostic v. Schaefer, which created the circuit split that forced SCOTUS to take on Obergefell v. Hodges. The role he played in American marriage equality cannot be overstated.

The cultural impact of Rob Reiner cannot be understated. Legend isn't big enough a word. It goes to 11. You can't handle the truth. As you wish. I'll have what she's having. I'm your number one fan. You guys wanna see a dead body? The very idea of a bucket list. The West Wing. All from his movies.

Thread Oh wow what a thread

When Rob Reiner was on his all-time epic run at the start of his career, he had an opportunity to read a script that was looking for a production partner, and he lost his mind for it. He decided Castle Rock had to have it, no matter what.

Important backdrop for this movie is the rise of Kenny G in the late 80s/ early 90s as a phenom in a long history of white artists appropriating black music and washing it to make it more “palatable” (and sellable) for mass markets. Spike’s film tangles w this explicitly and even name-drops Kenny G

The concept of making a movie about white supremacy and the military violence that enforces it with your Zionist pal Jonny Greenwood. (FTR I had a blast watching this movie I just think PTA is ideologically hollow and willfully focused on politics as vibes and vibes only.)

Rewatched Eyes Wide Shut & fell in love w this scene in ways I never had. Alice isn’t admitting infidelity or trying to make Bill jealous. She’s desperately wanting to reveal herself to him & confront him w the fact that her identity as wife/mother is incomplete, one she can exist without & beyond

This breaks my heart. Mr. Anthony Jackson’s influence in modern music across genres, decades, places cannot be overstated. His body of work is monumental, but the first thing that comes to mind for me is his music on one of my favorite Chaka Khan songs ever, Move Me No Mountain. RIP👑💔🕊️
