#holy smoke 1999

[rebelsandreverb]

Kate Winslet on the set of Holy Smoke (1998):

There was a lot of real tension between Harvey and Kate during the production. Filming actually stopped for several days while they worked through their personal issues.

As Kate was wearing books on her feet she had to be carried around in order to preserve her ‘shoes’.

HOLY SMOKE (1999) Grade: D+ 

Something was off w the plot. The setting is interesting but not sure if you ever feel for any of the characters. Chemistry between Keitel and Winslet wasn't;t great either.

top ten albums! / tagged by @orrsoared

rules: list your ten favorite albums of all time and tag ten people to list theirs!

here are mine in no particular order + some of my favorite lyrics in them :9

1. “the greatest generation” by the wonder years - 2013

i know about the devil in your bloodstream. i know that the ghosts still visit nightly. i know it must get lonely by the chesapeake.

2. “enema of the state” by blink-182 - 1999

i never conquered, rarely came. tomorrow holds such better days, days when i can still feel alive.

3. “holy ghost” by modern baseball - 2016

if it’s all the same, it’s time to confront this face to face. i’ll be with you the whole way, and it’ll take time, that’s that. i’m not just another face, i’m not just another name. and even if you can’t see it now, we’re proud of what’s to come, and you.

4. “suburbia i’ve given you all and now i’m nothing” by the wonder years - 2011

there comes a day when you rectify who you are and who you wanna be with, and i can’t make the two things coexist.

5. “one stone” by trixie mattel - 2018

oh soldier, take your time. no one said the words all have to rhyme, and if they do it’s fine. and even if they don’t, no one needs to know. oh, soldier, you gotta let things go.

6. “the dream is over” by pup - 2016

so you called to let me know, you said it seems like forever since we’ve seen each other. where does the time go?

7. “back on top” by the front bottoms

but this is my body, the only thing that i own entirely, and it will carry me to greatness somehow.

8. “after the party” by the menzingers

the souvenirs of happiness in the moment, your wild years that you often mention; sands of time in an hourglass that you’re always begging for back.

9. “punisher” by phoebe bridgers - 2020

says she knows she’ll live through it to get to this moment, ate a sleeve of saltines on my floor and i knew that i would do anything you want me to. i would do anything for you. i would do anything, i would do anything. whatever you want me to do i will do.

10. “this place sucks ass” by pup - 2020

and after the smoke cleared, opened my eyes and i was still here. i was certain i was a goner. it should have been me on the table, with the wires and the cables. i’d do anything it takes if you stay here just a little while longer.

[numetalpuppygirl]

what i'm listening to 4/5/2023 (song notes under cut!)

spot. link//yt link

Laura Les - Haunted: haunted. by laura les.

100 gecs - Dumbest Girl Alive: yeah there's gonna be a fair few new gecs tracks in here. dumbest girl alive is my favorite from 10k, i can't even express how much it just hits every time. i love the riff, i love the lyrics, i love the music video, i love the production, love it love it love it. i also included a minecraft parody i found when searching the video on youtube, you're welcome

Black Flag - Revenge: i've been trying to rediscover my love for some of my favorite hardcore genres, so i took it all the way back to the early days and reconnected with one of my favorite bands. i encountered this song in high school when trying to find clean black flag songs that i could put in a piece i was writing about the history of metal (which the band is not, but hardcore is significant in the history of the genre anyway). it's a great thrash-and-basher and apparently has not been in my playlist until now, which i was unaware of lol

The Beatles - Strawberry Fields Forever: once again i must admit to listening to the beetles.... alas. look it's a really good song, the lead-in to the chorus is fucking amazing, the instrumentation is really interesting and unique, it just washes over you like waves of sound. plus it's goofy as hell

Jaga Jazzist - I Could Have Killed Him In The Sauna: from the INSTANT i heard the intro of this track i was like ohhh that's going in the next WILT. i don't have a ton to say about it, just listen. it's good sounds to chew on. shoutout io

100 gecs - Billy Knows Jamie: i freaked the fuck out when i heard this track, no joke. which is funny, because i'm pretty certain they played this when i saw them last fall, but i didn't have any frame of reference at the time for whether it would sound the same on the record. i just kept thinking "they did this for ME. SPECIFICALLY" because like hello??? i'm the nu metal gecs fan!!! that's like my whole thing!!!! and this literally sounds like limp bizkit half the time!!!!! i honestly kind of wouldn't mind if the breakdown at the end had been a little more restrained, just to preserve the feeling that it's 1999 all over again, but whatever. it cums. it's also about violence and killing, so i even get a little bit of like juggalo vibes almost

Fiona Apple - To Your Love: this song sounds so sexyyyy like maybe this is out of pocket but when this came on shuffle on a singer-songwriter playlist i was browsing i literally stopped what i was doing and was just like 😳😳😳 it's insane. and like when her voice gets all growly at one point later in the track... anyway haha

Marnie Stern - Prime: found via that coolass video i reblogged a while back oh god let's see if i can find that. holy shit i can't believe that worked. i don't know anything about marnie stern but i should listen to more because prime knocked the wind out of me it's good

100 gecs - The Most Wanted Person In The United States: last gecs track... and it's more rap rock!!! kind of. did you guys catch that cypress hill sample? i sure did!!!! love itttt. plus there's more killing it's so awesome. i've already said most of this stuff to violet (hi violet) but for real i think "got anthony kiedis suckin on my penis" is one of the all-time greatest bars and i'm not joking

DJ Lycox - BILLIE JEAN (DIOR): a lot of music from people on here this month! one of my mutuals (who probably won't read this but if you do. hi :3) posted this track and i really love the original pop smoke song so i was like right what's all this then. it's good. that's what it is then

Bruce Springsteen - Born to Run: i was reading this article about bruce springsteen being a sort of icon for butch womanhood and that had me like wow i am feeling emotions right now. and so i went and listened to some springsteen and you know what he rocks. there's something so desperate and heartbreaking about his songwriting, it hits me in a real way. and i've never even been to new jersey

Ada Rook - 920LONDON: new rook album ooh yeah babey. not my fav record she's ever done but still really fucking good. this song kind of reminds me of everlong, which like. girl who's only ever listened to everlong by the foo fighters listening to her second song: getting a lot of everlong by the foo fighters vibes from this. but still it's about holding each other close and making the most of what we have in our rapidly passing time, plus the riffs are kind of similar in ways that i don't feel like fudging musical terminology to try and describe

Sarah Vaughan - Lullaby Of Birdland: cool jazz can be kind of whatever but y'know i'm a vocals girlie and sarah vaughan honestly probably deserves to be listed up there with the greats. her vocal control is insane, and the way she just drifts from her higher register to the lower and back again is hypnotic. good fucking song plus shows props to charlie parker

May Leitz - gODKILLER: another from tumblr, thanks to user bigbaywindow for directing me towards may leitz ^_^ i have been rocking with several of her songs but this was the first one i listened to and it's really good, the lyrics hit me in a certain way as well that some of you might guess. also while putting together the youtube playlist i discovered that may makes youtube videos including one that i've seen floating around my recommended page a couple of times?? so i guess i'll have to see what's goin on over there

The International Sweethearts Of Rhythm - Vi Vigor: am i like. crazy. i would have SWORN that i put this in a previous WILT but i can find no evidence of that being true. in any case this is a cool kinda bebop-inspired jazz piece by an all-woman jazz ensemble who i wanna listen to more of. there's some really great sax work on here especially, so if you're into that def check this one out

Girls Rituals - Hole/The Used: okay funny story on this one. this was the first song i ever heard from any of devi's projects, it was before i even really knew who black dresses was. this song appeared in my release radar and i was like "who the fuck is this" and i'm convinced it only happened because the title is the names of two bands which i WAS already listening to at the time. and i listened to the song and said "this is really bad, and i don't understand why anyone would listen to this." and then i mostly forgor about it. skip forward to recently - i am obviously a big fan of devi's work and plenty of other projects adjacent to this. i get a big new batch of songs in my playlist (hello again to violet shoutout violet) and this song is in here. i listen to it. it's good :) take that, me from two years ago

The Buggles - The Plastic Age: the mandatory Todd Find™ for this month. i was watching the one hit wonderland episode on these guys and honestly didn't pay attention too closely bc i was busy but this song stuck. you guys know i'm all about that campy futurey cyberpunk-adjacent shit. it would be a stretch to say this fully gets there but it's still a fun song either way

Cage The Elephant - Cigarette Daydreams: lame song honestly but the chorus is super catchy plus there's a story. when i was working my old job there was a supervisor i liked a lot who played a wide range of tunes on shift. sometimes it was chill instrumental stuff, sometimes it was metalcore, and sometimes it was like this sort of radio alternative shit. this song specifically would play a lot, as you can imagine, and at the time it annoyed me, especially because of how catchy it is, it would make me think of work. but now both that supervisor and i have left, and so now it just reminds me of vibing with them and making the most of being on the clock. a cigarette daydream indeed

Jason Segel & Walter - Man Or Muppet: i don't know, man. i've had this song stuck in my head since i was eight years old and one day i randomly thought "i wonder if that's on streaming" and it is

#yippee!! #i've been looking forward to this sooo much. god i love doing these #*char noises* #talking pop

[reservoirreputation]

I'm maybe a half hour into Holy Smoke

And I can't stop thinking about how hot Harvey Keitel is.

Jesus fucking christ that man can get it 25/8 366 days out of the fucking year he's so unbearably hot I knew this was gonna happen I can't be normal while watching a movie with him.

Also, the movie's great, so far!

Kate Winslet singing along to You Oughta Know is so fucking cute, I love her so fucking much.

That one character that just let the kid faceplant because she was too distracted by Harvey Keitel? That's me. I don't know if I've ever related to a character more, goddamn.

On the one hand, 'good for you girl, knowing what you want (PJ's dick) and going for it, (blowing him)' but also going 'he's not your therapist girl, get help. This is a little sad.' Breathe through it, indeed. Also, what's sadder than writing yourself love letters that are so convincing that your boyfriend thinks you must be cheating?

Kate just read him to filth, this is great. The slurping was a nice touch. You can tell it really hit a nerve with him.

The more I watch, the more I'm convinced Campion's written another 19th century drama, but it's set in 1999. The whole 'breaking a woman's spirit to show her the light' but it's really about getting to know her and listening to her and letting her rage, yell and scream. About two stubborn as hell personalities clashing and coming together.

The reveal of 'HELP' spelled out in rocks absolutely sent me. Also, canon bi PJ?

Girl, you've thrown out the bad shit and immediately want to fill the void.

This is why the family can't get involved. You spend 10k on getting her help and want to fuck with that? And the driving, jesus it's spiking my anxiety.

The first sex scene ended so abruptly and hilariously, that this second one's making my mind melt. Good on you Campion, having Harvey Keitel go down on someone in two movies.

When the voice of reason shows up. Also, thank you, again, Campion, for gifting us Harvey's titties. Appreciate you <3. Also, everyTHING IS NOT FINE

NO ONE. TOLD ME. THAT SHE'D BE PUTTING LIPSTICK ON HIM. GETTING HIM IN A DRESS THAT SHOWS OFF HIS TITS. NO ONE TALKS ABOUT THE INTIMACY OF IT AND HOW HE LOOKS AT HER WITH *THOSE* EYES. TUMBLR YOU'VE FAILED ME.

Side note, PJ wearing pants under the dress was 100% me in ballet class when I was six. The second time I've felt seen in this movie.

The whole 'BE KIND" scene, ow. Ow ouch owie. 'I'm heartless. No one can be around me, no one even likes me' good fucking lord, this is really getting to the heart of what it means to be someone vulnerable to this type of brainwashing, huh?

This is definitely a comedy of errors.

OH MY FUCKING GOD SHE'S IN THE TRUNK

HE JUST TURNED THE RADIO ON

'I'M NOT IN YET' I LOVE THIS MOVIE

Is this the epitome of 'I can make him better' 'I can make him worse'

Nothin' better for the soul than a spiritual awakening/heat stroke.

The way they're with other people, living their separate lives, but have each other's love, even from across the world? Fucking hell, Campion.

And roll credits.

What a realistic, yet weirdly hopeful ending. Movie as a whole, just the right amount of heartfelt, dramatic and funny. Truly never seen anything quite like this. Would watch again if I'm in a very specific mood, easily.

#him and Tim Roth have ruined my brain #holy smoke #jesus can he chill? #harvey keitel #kate winslet #this is a live blog now I guess #as a heads up this movie may be a romantic comedy first but it does get into some heavy shit #it's a movie about exiting someone from a cult after all #but I'm also talking about footage of some of the most infamous cults and their ends #kinda a lot if you're not expecting it #removing streaming mentions #either google where to watch or go to your local library

[love-liberty21]

Thanks to Dracula Daily I've been revisiting the Dracula Games lately and I simply can't let you all live on without seeing Jonathan confronting Dracula's brides / roommates / weed smoking girlfriends in the first one. (CN: Nudity)

I mean, look at this abysmal 1999 graphics (no judging, for the time this is perfectly fine). Let alone the character design. 😅

"Dracula Resurrection" is set up as a direct sequel to the novel, ignoring some parts of the story in favor of making up new things. Quick story summary: Seven years after Draculas defeat Mina suddenly feels compelled to return to Transsilvania. Jonathan suspects that this must mean the Count is back and so follows her. He has to solve a lot of puzzles and face quite a few dangers to get to the castle, where he finds an unexpected ally in the old witch Dorko, who gives him the "Dragon's Ring" to protect him. But before he can get Mina back, he has to face the three vampire girls and Dracula again ...

Dialog translation:

Vampire girl: Who dared? Who stole the holy amulet? Who did wake us?

Jonathan: Back! Stay back!

VG: Who are you, wretched one? Put the amulet back right now or my sisters and I will end you!

Jonathan: You lie! Dorko said I was inviolable!

VG: Dorko? This old witch! So you are Dorkos servant! You mustn't believe what this mad woman says! She's manipulating you! You do the dirty work and die for nothing! Put the amulet back!

Jonathan: Then why aren't you attacking me? The power of the Dragon's Ring protects me! You cannot hurt me.

VG: You think you can evade us for long? You have nowhere to go! You will collapse from exhaustion! You'll make it a few hours at most! We have eternity! Once you fall asleep, you'll never wake again!

(181-196 albums etc that I’ve listened to this year, copied from twitter) (now with art. [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7] [8] [9] [10] [11] [12] [13] [14])

names and thoughts below cut

181/ (all mono211/monotonik releases, 1999) saddened that "End of an Era LP" (source of the album art im using) is primarily colored by dnb, even if its high quality. otherwise, a million singles. standouts mostly mp3: "gobblad" feeling that turn of the century chill style "702" fascinatingly rephlex "benedict" ok some dnb is fun actually "Shadowfighter" what rebelious energy! standout!!

---

182/ (all Tokyo Dawn Records releases, 2000) mixed bag etc etc. best at hip hop. "killer of the zodiac" dnb yes, but. this guy is weaponizing his mp3 encoder. love it "reckoning" brandishing lofi "limits" as central assets? ace. "surnaturel forme" ace trip hop turntable timbre

---

183/ VA - supermariountwirled ep (2000) get dunked on ocr emix we're sampling the chiptunes for our technos in the y of 2k!!! …oh. it's not great :( yeah sadly this is filled with poor execution, even when the ideas are fun. only "flying mario (xllv remix)" is worth keeping imo

---

184/ (all mono211 non-albums, 2000) mono y2k KICKING ASS. herein lies the good stuff! ex: "we're like air.." EXACTLY the made at home optimistic post-y2k electronica i adore holy shit "Timecrunch EP" gorgeous!! cant get over how good this is!!!!!!!! "woozy dog" homemade y2k! homemade y2k! homemade y2k!

---

185/ (all mute releases i found on an ftp, mostly y2k) a very bedroom idm romp. sadly i didnt particularly vibe with this selection. it feels very focused, but on smth not quite for me. favs? hmm. proswell had a nice little EP. the unsearchable "insta" by sin is a standout too

---

186/ subi - The Rave-O-Lution Has Been Terrorised (2000) it's a throwback to the sounds of 10 years ago… from 23 years ago. kinda mixed bag of "resonating with me" but still pretty fun. prodigal rave stuff. favs? "var 4rom earf" ez

---

187/ binary - binatone (2000) a little meandery. a little idk. not particularly "bright" but it feels right somehow. lazy afternoon vibes i guess? standout: "ivor commodore part 3" i think. also enjoying "formel 2" and "ballad of pam and tommy part 5" for quite different reasons

---

188/ Andy Stott - Faith In Strangers (2014) slowly unfolds into heavy soundscapes. less "fog" or "smoke" and more like humid air that's too hot to breathe. and then sometimes its just slappy beats. highlights? "Violence" perhaps. "How It Was" is also massive

---

189/ Kink - For The People (2023) 3 nonstop slappers but i PARTICULARLY vibe with "Kazan". sadly, 1 slap stopper at the end (i do not vibe with that vocal sample in "Vacation")

---

190/ L.A.M. - Balance of Terror (1992) I heard "Nuclear Facelift" was a common track in early AFX sets and yeah i hear why. i love the synthwork overall, really fun stuff, and its ontop of a very early sounding drum soundscape. really cool era encapsulation going on.

---

191/ Cylob - Lobster Tunes (1999) I guess i missed this rephlex release somehow? nonstop DELIGHTFUL sound design grooving in 99 "Wanking Off On Other People's Misery" srsly the groove! "Smash Up The Pram" !!! that weird meter in "Stomping FM"!!!!!

---

192/ KNOWER - KNOWER FOREVER (2023) listening to this like "its ok" then the piano kicks in and im rockin "Real Nice Moment" real into it. "Nightmare" grooooove "It Will Get Real" finally showing its real in the second half. not my fav knower romp but overall ok.

193/ Mr. Carmack - Drugs (2014) me saying "kinda bangs actually" repeatedly. it kinda feels like a collection of sketches, which is how it's presented tbf. standouts "insanity and this music industry" holy shit "Dark Hadou (Remix)" retrofuturebanger "lonelyfuckingsamurai"!!!!

194/ (Tokyo Dawn Records & Sparks, 2001) plesantly suprised at the shift from dnb to chill br8ks. very ninjatune esque. a few highlights: "buenas" the exact oldschool timbre i crave "night light" oh hell yeah!!! tight! also, much love for michael victory's deep style

195a/ VA - FF8: SeeDs of Pandora (disc 1) (2023) a very pretty, artisanal opening. feels like stunningly beautiful arrangements of music that im not too familiar with, except for "Longing for the Horizon" which is a standout to me. oh, and "The Jellyfish" for similar reasons.

195b/ VA - FF8: SeeDs of Pandora (disc 2) (2023) two of five. driving up that nrg. im surprised at the super good psytrance chops here! "Downtown Run" is super good i was suspicious of the vocals in "Filthy Lies / Wasted Virtue" but they work so so nicely!

195c/ VA - FF8: SeeDs of Pandora (disc 3) (2023) three of five. imediately opening with the WILD vibes of "Even Ill Omens Need a Break" "Swagger de Chocobo"!!! koan influence!! making making me love chocobo again! "Willing Sacrifice" rly fun spooky turned beat beats. MkVaff! "A Scar to Match" this brings an absurd energy that i cant help but appreciate "OH!! DEKA-DE-JAZZ-DE-CHOCOBO ~ Dirty Contacts Mix" yooooooooo this is a fun experimental piece that's also just. fun! "Into the Singularity" oh hell that's MASSIVE "A Wounded Spy" everything falls into place. i rly didnt expect to like this but yet. i do

195d/ VA - FF8: SeeDs of Pandora (disc 4) (2023) four of five. insanely massive opening with "Voces Maledictionis et Spei: Children Fated to Lead" very very happy to see the "massive collab to cover a FF boss theme" resulting in ABSURDLY BANGER tunes trend continue. "Heavy Residents" laughing that ppl are citing random songs that i specifically adore and saying "im referencing that" and then they all rock. "SeeDs of Pandora" title track? it packs the heat.

195e/ VA - FF8: SeeDs of Pandora (disc 5) (2023) five of five. not at all what I expected, in that I thought it was going to be literally goofy throwaway nonsense and it's far from that lol "Song of the Desperado" is a TREAT. "As One Closes, Another Opens" chipper thing that ends up as somehow nostalgic "The Definition of Insanity" is 100% THE standout tho! absolutely wild fun!

195/ VA - FF8: SeeDs of Pandora (2023) i ended up dividing my thoughts into one tweet per disc (see above) but overall: i have no attachement to this game. that doesn't stop me from being in awe at the BANGERS here. FF collabs seem to bring out the beast in ppl. also: the shocking quantity of beautiful live stuff!!
