me with an invisible martini in hand: the problem…with henry viii discourse…is that you all assume he is like dennis from iasip. when…CLEARLY…he is like MAC from iasip.
altho….

There an odd sort of connection between Gregory, Hirst and Mantel, an evolution of sorts. Gregory wrote her book 13 years ago. Perhaps Gregory has been more influential than imagined, because both Hirst and Mantel have taken Gregory’s portrayals of the Boleyn family, and with the exception of Hirst not alluding that Anne Boleyn committed adultery, they have expanded on them and made them altogether more abhorrent.
Into the trees.
question: why does almost every edit of anne boleyn’s char on tudors use the ‘eyes like dark hooks for the soul’ line, said creepily by their creepy characterization of her father, when the line ‘promises are easy’ is a) actually said by her char (to henry, significantly), and b) describes her character and the tragedy/story of her life so much more succintly and aptly?
Have you seen Versailles? If so, what do you think of the costumes (I love them and they’re the #1 reason for me watching it)
Oh, I love them too! Ngl it’s probably mainly why I bothered watching, I’m not a big fan of the writing/plot…also all the gratuitous violence (esp. towards women):
Today at the library a man got one of the huge coffee table books of the shelf, took it over to the corner, lay it on the floor, then sat, with his elbows on his knees and his chin in his hands, and stared down at a huge full spread picture of an alligator for several minutes.
Jun 13, 2014 – The release of ‘Ultraviolence’
“There’s not a running theme through Ultraviolence, it’s more atmospheric. There’s more of a general vibe going on. I feel like it has a narrative; it starts with my favorite song from the record, called ‘Cruel World,’ with these heavy guitars and I like that because it’s symbolically referencing the west coast, and from there we move into parts of Brooklyn, sonically.”
so why the fuck do we shame poor people for giving themselves little luxuries like starbucks and second-hand designer purses but nobody says a damn thing about rich people wasting extravagant amounts of money on gold-plated toilet seats and shit?? if you have so much extra fucking money that you’re spending it on a third sports car you may as well donate it to someone who really needs it. why the FUCK does society try to shame poor people for not wanting to be miserable all the time but turns a blind eye to rich fucks squandering huge amounts of money on useless shit. why.
