I am posting Catherine Deneuve today because it's been a week of minor defeats around here. Nothing too major, just a bunch of little stuff that made me feel old and tired and the result was a lot of my time was spent in bed with a leg up and guys, I am here to tell you that's boring. So I bought myself a copy of the Umbrellas of Cherbourg from the Critereon Collection because I should have done it ages ago anyway. It's a beautiful movie and I wanted to see it and hear it in 4k and I was in bed anyway. So I did. It's one of my all time favorite movies. It's been in my letterboxd top four since I joined letterboxd like 11 or 12 years ago. It just so happens to be a movie that hit me at the right point in life, when I really needed to learn certain lessons about love and how two people can love one another but that doesn't always mean they belong together. It's Catherine Deneuve's first work ever and one of Jaques Demy's earliest movies and it is absolutely beautiful to look at and listen to (the dialog is all sung) and is bittersweet in a way that makes me sad but also uplifts me. It reminds me a bit of Motown music, in that something can be beautiful and sort of lift you up while you carry your sadness. Anyway, it is an all time favorite and that's why I am posting Catherine Deneuve, who is a legend of French Cinema but if I had to choose my favorite movies she has been in, it's all stuff with Demy. She is so good in the movie. She is beautiful and you get why someone would fall in love with her, you can feel her pain, her heartbreak, and finally her resignation as she has to move on with her life. At the end she feels so much older, even though she was just 19 when she was filming this. I can't claim that Umbrellas of Cherbourg is your cup of tea, dear reader, afterall I have some idiot friends who only gave it four stars on their letterboxd after I forced them to watch it even though, as stated above, it's one of the four best movies of all time, but I can promise you that it will be one of the prettiest looking movies you have ever seen. Seriously, google either Umbrellas of Cherbourg wallpaper or Umbrellas of Cherbourg colors if you want a real visual treat. Today I want to fuck Catherine Deneuve.

With all the video streaming services online these days, being picky about subscriptions seems the frugal solution. When it comes to the “older anime” service RetroCrush, though, much of its catalogue leaves me aware “I’ve already bought that title on Blu-Ray from Discotek,” an older and possibly more enduring yet also more expensive path. An announcement a Japanese TV special about Hideaki Anno working on the final “Rebuild of Evangelion” movie would stream on RetroCrush did start me thinking all the same...

If you start a tv channel or an online streaming service with the entire identity being "retro content" I think it should be illegal for you to then decide later to start showing newer shows and the audience should be allowed to sue you for monetary compensation.

#Cartoon Network's ''Boomerang'' channel #which as the name implies was originally for old content #and eventually morphed into a dumping ground for less popular shows #like the 3D animated French Garfield cartoon nobody liked #Or how Retrocrush offers ANY anime at all that were made with digi-colour #I think I should be allowed to report them to some kind of authority #I think that is a right I should have #fucking stick to your branding

I went to a retrospective on Mario Bava yesterday. It was all work of his I had seen but it was my first chance to see it on the big screen and I was excited for that because the real joy of Bava is that he was a visual master. His movies are just gorgeous to look at. The scene composition, the camera movements, the sets, he was just amazing at in camera special effects and creating beauty with essentially no budget. My favorite Bava movie is Black Sunday and it was one of the movie's shown and wow was it great to see in such high quality. The black and white photography was gorgeous and one of the things that makes the movie so good is Barbara Steele. It's really her introduction to the world just as it was for Bava as well. If you don't know her, she became the queen of Italian Gothic Horror in the 60's, she in so many of these movies and her look is a big part of that. I don't know what to say about her quality as an actress because she often isn't given much to do and some of what she did was over the top but that's not why she's there. She is there because she is striking to look at. Beautiful yes but there is an extra element of presence to her. We have the high cheekbones and so on but there is an ability to look severe and foreboding as well that makes for an extra something that a gothic horror movie needs. She plays a dual role in Black Sunday and part of what makes it work is she is both a 16th century vampire and an 18th century princess and there is a feeling of unease when she first shows up as the princess. Anyway, she looked very good and while 1960's movies are tame there were a few shots of bodice ripping that also worked for me on another level. So here she is. Today I want to fuck Barbara Steele.

RETROCRUSH: Birthday boy William Hopper (1/26/1915 -3/6/1970)

Born into a theatrical family, Bill was the son of actor DeWolf Hopper and actress-turned-gossip-columnist Hedda Hopper. He was best known as affable private detective Paul Drake on TV's PERRY MASON (1957-1966). He also had a supporting role in REBEL WITHOUT A CAUSE (1955) as the father of Natalie Wood. (Accoding to Wood biographer Suzanne Finstad, Wood shared a brief but intesne romance with Hopper's future PERRY MASON co-star Raymond Burr.) Bill fought in the U.S. Navy during WWII, earning a Bronze Star and other decorations, and also served in the OSS, the precursor to today's CIA.

I think Cybersix is one of those shows that’s prime for a reboot.

This isn’t about “milking the franchise” —it’s Cybersix, there’s literally 12 people who remembers this show—but about getting rid of the bleh stuff like the racist caricatures, while boosting the fantastic ideas the show does have.

Cybersix is a show about a woman who hunts monsters to feed by night, and a man named Adrian who teaches high school English by day—they are one and the same person. She struggles with being an android, wondering if she is human after all. His nemesis is Dr. Von Reichter who creates monsters in order to take over the world—and Cybersix tries to reconcile the fact that she is “one of those monsters” who had escaped her creator as a child. And his fellow colleague Lucas bisexually flusters over both Adrian and Cybersix, oblivious that they are one person.

It’s a series that can be super relevant today. Update some characters and their designs, rework the story to focus more on its touching themes, and we’ve got a story about a genderqueer person who is fighting her fascist creator. All the while she loves, and subconsciously wants to be loved, but feels deeply unworthy of it because she is “one of those monsters.” It could be a story of identity, of self-love, of nature vs nurture, about how “monsters” are not exclusively evil, and how humanity isn’t exclusively good.

“Five fingers, a heart, but I'm not like them. I don't need a friend… Do I?”

As far as I know, you can watch Cybersix on Retrocrush or TMS Entertainment’s YouTube channel. If I recall correctly, Ep 4, Yashimoto Private Eye, is the one with racist caricatures….blehg. I do like Yashimoto and Ikiko’s characters, but they are in dire need of updating.
