It’s kind of a shame that “Catholics worship the saints and Mary on the same level as god” is the prevalent thought among non-Catholics because “Catholics treat the saints and Mary as a divine call center” is both more true in my experience and INFINITELY funnier

“This site unusable when you dont care about the new joke” that’s great honestly. I like when people here suffer over inane stuff, it’s funnier than the original joke, let’s keep it going

look, obviously no-one likes the guy who always goes ‘the book that inspired the film is always better’ and I really don’t want to be That Literature Bitch

I just really hope that with the goncharov renaissance going on rn more people read a napolitan winter because it just brings so much more to the characters. like, I feel that in the film ice pick joe never gets fleshed out enough but in the book we see him dealing with the aftermath of his sister’s murder and how that’s turned him into the killer we see in the films. we get flashbacks to the moments when goncharov and mario’s friendship was actually real, not just an arrangement of convenience, and we understand so much more of mario’s motivations from that. we actually see katya’s interactions with her oppressive parents and how that informs her own ambitions and desperations - rather than just a few throwaway lines in the dialogue which I always felt flattened the character. 

and as for the writing? the moment when the narrative stops referring to ‘him’ or ‘the man’ and instead calls him ‘goncharov’, symbolising his ascent to the head of the family even though we still don’t know his fucking first name? rip my heart RIGHT out

and if that doesn’t convince you then let me remind you that it’s only in the book where the doomed romance between goncharov and andrey is made explicit, which for something written in the sixties was revolutionary, don’t forget -  ‘”you are my life,“ andrey told the man - for here and now he was not ‘goncharov’ but just ‘the man’ and not even goncharov himself could take that away, ”but that does not absolve you of also being my death.“ so he said, cigarette smoke still in his mouth, before replacing the smoke with the man’s lips. and darkness covered the rest.

like, it’s not just subtext it’s actual literal text and we could have had it all if martin scorcese and  matteo jwhj0715 hadn’t been such fucking cowards about it

is goncharov (1973) really that much less real than whatever show the destiel bloggers have been watching with their extrasensory perception for 15 years

#deceased #🤣 #this actually applies to many MANY fandoms let's no be judgy here lolol #i sure as fuck know better than to throw stones from my very beautiful glass castle 🤭

all this talk about goncharov but i dont see anybody posting the soundtrack??? like how are you gonna talk about this movie without the music

#i am dying #so good #goncharov

[careforasmoke]

the clock scene is overhyped as hell and film bros ignore the importance of the apple scene bc they're afraid of the homoerotic undertones and i WILL die on this hill!

#ASSFHKKNHRDV #goncharov

[careforasmoke]

Imagining trying to explain Goncharov to a non internet person. Well it's a homoerotic 1970s film about a Russian-Italian mafia that never existed. People are adding bits of canon on according to their own tastes like it's arthuriana. It came from a shoe.

They had not been seen together in the museum galleries for quite a while. Monet’s “Women with Umbrellas” are once again side by side in the Impressionist gallery.

“In 1539, the Knight Templars of Malta, paid tribute to Charles V of Spain, by sending him a Golden Falcon encrusted from beak to claw with rarest jewels… but pirates seized the galley carrying this priceless token and the fate of the Maltese Falcon remains a mystery to this day…”

the death of aerea targaryen

It has been three days since the princess perished, and I have not slept. I do not know that I shall ever sleep again. The Mother is merciful, I have always believed, and the Father Above judges each man justly… but there was no mercy and no justice in what befell our poor princess. How could the gods be so blind or so uncaring as to permit such horror? Or is it possible that there are other deities in this universe, monstrous evil gods such as the priests of Red R'hllor preach against, against whose malice the kings of men and the gods of men are naught but flies? I do not know. I do not want to know. If this makes me a faithless septon, so be it.

happy harlaween char @princeofstories!
