For some more subtext, Soloway is dating Hannah Gadsby, and the writer of that hitpiece is firmly in the anti-Nanette camp.

Does lolita fashion have all that much to do with Nabokov's book? The etymology is Japanese and it seems to have more to do with Victorian dollhouse aesthetics.

So I'm in Stockholm next week and I'm looking up stuff to do, and I'm struck that there are a few tours that are some variation of "the most instagrammable places in Stockholm." It's interesting because the basic idea is one that is pretty familiar and unobjectionable: these are particularly photogenic places, possibly with the qualification that they are particularly good for taking a picture of yourself. But in framing the places as "instagrammable," a certain relation to the place is suggested. Like it's not just that this place at the foot of the lake has a nice view, but that this view is particularly valuable in the service of some particular activity. And, of course, that particular activity is understood as mediated by a certain corporate platform.

I dunno, interesting.

Anyway, anyone wanna go see Djurgarden play Farjestad on Tuesday?

A discussion board prompt for my domestic terrorism class is asking if BLM should take responsibility for members who murder cops and if those members should be considered home grown violent extremists. And the teacher posted a couple articles from Breitbart and Daily Caller to read for the prompt. gently caress me.

At least these discussion boards provide a nice way to sort out who the bootlickers in the class are.

I just got the original Suspirira soundtrack for my birthday, pretty rad.

I also got a "Lost Skeleton of Cadavera" poster, as well as Jodorowsky's new comic "Sons of El Topo" which is a direct sequel to El Topo! So it has been a good year!

Jodorowsky's comics are sublime. It feels like there's nothing out there quite like them, but in a completely different way than his films. In some ways he's really similar to Jack Kirby when it comes to energy and sheer storytelling momentum.

They kind of made him look like a faces of meth version of Ron Pearlman. And while the trailer makes it seem like they captured the vibe of the comic books better than the Del Toro movie, I don't know if that will work as well. Especially since it looks like they're trying to cram a later story line into the movie that was a thing that build up over pretty much the entire course of the series. I wonder if they're going to fall into the trap trying to cram way too much poo poo in the movie. They're apparently starting with ORIGIN STORY!!!! again.

Oh and if the trailer's an indication it seems like he's just being discount Ron Pearlman.

The comics have more of a hard-boiled noir aesthetic, with a deliberate pace and Hellboy's inner monologue narrating the action. Comics Hellboy is also reserved, intelligent, and jaded. I'm not getting much of that from the trailer at all.

I do like that rendition of "Smoke on the Water", though.

Perfect casting for a comics-faithful Hellboy would actually be Michael Chiklis. He's got the experience with makeup acting too.

e: or a young Michael Ironside. Just get anyone named Michael
