Some Warren HCs because I have a problem:
— Absolutely sopping wet pathetic poor little meow meow </3 I'm sorry I know people hate this guy but my brain went "awwwww skrunkly!"
— He used to have really bad stage fright, to the point where he'll literally freeze up under a spotlight. The training he received at the Okay Stop Organisation improved this somewhat, but he still gets really upset if he's put on the spot hasn't had adequate time to rehearse a response (omg autism moment?)
— Likes to stand out in the pouring rain for no reason no matter how wet his headset and backpack get
— Will basically eat anything he's given and told is food, including eggshells and paper. However...
— He cannot handle spicy food at all. Even very mild spice has him watery-eyed and complaining, and probably getting a tummyache afterwards
— He survived the end of the episode, but barely and loosing an eye. He's got ✨ trauma ✨ from the incident and is super self-conscious about the scars.
— Can perfectly imitate that cinematic eagle noise, not realising that it's actually the sound of a Red-tailed Hawk and just used in movies because it sounds cooler than a real Eagle
Warren x my oc Cy Headcanons under cut (don't looksie if you don't like oc x canon)
The premise for their story (and the fic I will eventually write) basically goes:
— Cy (they/them) is a Chameleon puppet who teaches about environmentalism, reCYcling (see what I did there), stuff like that. They're quiet and introverted, the others assume they're mean because they're asocial and they're secretly huge plant nerd.
— They knew eachother existed before Warren's episode, but they didn't talk on account of Warren's... Warren-ness and Cy's introversion.
— That all changed one day when Cy was lecturing Red, Yellow and Duck on how much they throw away and finds the poor eagle bleeding out in a trashcan and is just like "oh shoot what do I do I don't know first aid or whatever I'm supposed to do all I know is plants"
— The hospital shrivelled up with the rest of the town so they take him back to their place and patch him up with the help of some medicine-related puppets. Warren looses an eye and is all around badly damaged physically and emotionally so they're forced to interact with eachother for the duration of recovery time
— Shenanigans ensue - ranging from adorable confessions to committing arson to setting boundaries to building flying machines.
As for what they're like:
— They look like opposites on the surface but are more similar underneath. Warren is loud and clingy while Cy is calm and reserved but they're both kind of lonely and really, really dorky
— They have no idea what the other is saying when they're talking about business or plants but they listen anyway
— Warren seems to think he owes Cy a life debt or something, which Cy doesn't understand but is okay with because that's how they got him to apologize to Yellow
— Sometimes Warren wraps himself around Cy and clings to them like one of those monkey plushies while Cy goes around the garden watering plants.
— Cy hands Warren random flowers, pinecones or sticks they found and runs off without explaining why, which he appreciates but also very confused about

NOIR CITY 19 starts 7:30 tonight at Oakland's Grand Lake Theatre. Tickets available at the box office. ALL THE KING'S MEN & THE ARGYLE SECRETS . Intros by FNF Prez Eddie Muller. Full schedule at NoirCity.com
Will Call opens 5:30, Doors open 6:00.
Thursday • March 24 DOUBLE FEATUR EALL THE KING'S MEN, 7:30 PM
Despite being made more than seventy years ago, this Best Picture Oscar® winner is as timely as any film made today. Broderick Crawford, in an Academy Award-winning performance, stars as backwoods lawyer Willie Stark, whose canny and calculating populist politics take him to national prominence—before chicanery and deceit lead to his shocking and sudden demise. Robert Penn Warren based his Pulitzer Prize-winning novel on the rise and fall of 1930s Louisiana governor Huey "Kingfish" Long, and this film version is given a dark noir patina by writer-director Rossen (Johnny O'Clock, Body and Soul), Oscar-nominated for both his script and direction, and DP Burnett Guffey. Mercedes McCambridge won Best Supporting Actress for her role as Stark's ruthless political aide Sadie Burke, and John Ireland received an Academy nod as Jack Burden, a conscience-stricken newsman turned Stark press agent. A cautionary American classic whose warning bells have been resoundingly ignored.1949, Columbia Pictures [Sony Pictures Classics]. 110 minutes. Screenplay by Robert Rossen, based on the novel by Robert Penn Warren. Produced and directed by Robert Rossen.
THE ARGYLE SECRETS 9:45 PM
Harry Mitchell (William Gargan) is your typical hardboiled noir newspaper columnist, eager for a front-page scoop and willing to do anything to get it. When he gets a hot tip from a rival about "The Argyle Album," Mitchell risks life and limb to find it, tangling with a rag-tag band of nefarious treasure-hunters determined to steal the book and the scandalous secrets it contains. Clearly intended as a tongue-in-cheek parody of The Maltese Falcon, the politically astute Cy Endfield hit a few hot buttons as well, particularly the suggestion that some American industrialists were happy to welcome a fascist regime in the United States had America lost WWII. Borne of a wordy radio play, about three films-worth of plot is stuffed into a brisk 64 minutes, with well-wrought set-pieces played in a whirlwind of hardboiled dialogue. The Argyle Secrets shows fledgling writer-director Cy Endfield playfully exploring all sorts of cinematic chicanery.
NEW FNF FUNDED 35MM RESTORATION Film restoration performed by UCLA Film & Television Archive.
1948, Film Classics [FNF/UCLA Film & Television Archive]. 64 minutes. Screenplay by Cy Endfield, based on his radio play. Produced by Samuel X. Abarbanel and Alan H. Posner. Directed by Cy Endfield.

A RAT YEAR
previous years:
THE MOON REPRESENTS MY HEART :: 2019
A SONG THAT DEGRADES EACH TIME YOU PLAY IT :: 2018
A CHURCH AND JOHN LENNON’S “IMAGINE” :: 2017
SIKH DEVOTIONAL MUSIC :: 2016
SPOOKY BLACK :: 2015
Not just other people, the sight of other people on the subway or bus, walking carefree down the street, lost in their music, emitting auras, and I’m wondering what that music is. Not just music, I miss the stories, the way we gather around a sound as though it’s a flame, the way other sounds, triggering other other sounds, can shatter and send us. Not a sound, but a volume I miss is when you’re at a club or a show, and you’re trying to tell someone something, and you’re conscious of not wanting to shout directly in their ear, since you know a polite whisper will get drowned out by the music, and so you (or, in this case, I) resort to a loud mutter, or you emphasize the most important words and hope they can fill in the rest, or you tiptoe your sentence through the noise, guiding whatever you’re saying in between the quiet spaces of the music. Not music, but a sound I thought about a lot this year was a young Black man killed by the cops, his name was Elijah McClain, and he used to play the violin to comfort stray cats. Not playing the violin, rather sawing open this world to reveal one somewhere else that I’d like to believe exists.
