the silly again

Good news!

Recently, news broke on The Swan Archives that director Malcolm Ingram is planning to release Phantom Of Winnipeg at some point in 2024 (and my assumption, with zero evidence, is that this may have something to do with POTP's 50th anniversary).

When the time comes, you'll be able to find it on his site here

HELP

I'm trying to find some way to watch the documentary Phantom of Winnipeg (2019) - it's about the huge fanbase for Phantom of the Paradise based in specifically Winnipeg. I'm finding it literally nowhere, I found one person saying it was on Itunes but I can't seem to find it there either so I'm assuming it's since been removed ? If anyone out there has any way at all of watching this documentary please let me know !! Genuinely clawing at the walls trying to get my hands on it

UPDATE update: coughing fits worsened. went to the hospital. got a chest x-ray, no sign of pneumonia. been put on antibiotics, so that's good at least. but now everything's pitched UP a few cents and tone quality is affected whereas it wasn't before, everything on my right has gone from being muffled to sounding like a shitty bitcrushed mp3 >:'D

been in zombie mode for what feels like eons but this is just the rotten egg icing on the sardine cake. at least it's not covid but it is swine flu which is Not Fun Either. everyone else in my family is on the mend

i hate being sick this is driving me nuts CHIRP CHIRP SQUAWK *peck* *peck* CHIRP SQUAWK CHIRP CHIRP *peck* *peck* peck* CHIRP SQUAWK

my family and i have been fighting a nasty bronchial infection for the past week and a half and today i woke up with an earache from sleeping on my side

AND NOW EVERYTHING IN MY RIGHT EAR SOUNDS A HALF-STEP LOWER THAN IT SHOULD BE

i can't listen to music because it sounds exactly like this

like i'm bummed but it's also extremely funny

Carrie is such a good tragedy cause. It was already too late from the beginning. Even if the love was there. That teacher? She fucking loved that girl. The girl who had her bf take Carrie to prom? Sure she was a dick at first but she really did wanna help. Even the bf seemed to really enjoy himself.

But it doesn’t matter cause the problem is at home. Carries mother is insanely abusive and manipulative towards her, keeping her unaware, childish and afraid. The teachers and principals are aware of this, but as of the 70s and Carrie almost being an adult they didn’t do anything. And that’s the tragedy.

If someone stepped in before, took her away from her mother, had her live a normal life without the Christian guilt, this wouldn’t have happened.

It’s her mother, after all, who tells her they will all laugh at her.

Even when they weren’t. Save for a few, the laughing Carrie hears is a hallucination. Everyone seems quite awestruck and sad. They were happy for her for a moment. Everything was okay for a moment.

But it wasn’t enough. The love was there but it was too late. Carrie is long past her breaking point. The girl she wanted to be, was so desperate to be, has already had her light snuffed out by her mother. Carrie White the monster burned with her mother that night, but Carrie White the girl died on that stage.

Paul Williams with one of the swan plushies I made. He now owns a little twerp. Thank you Ari for the help delivering him, I’m glad little Swan didn’t burn your suitcase 🫡

i think that phantom of the paradise should have been 45 minutes longer and the extra 45 minutes is just a montage of winslow attempting to kill swan or terrorize the paradise in various comedically ineffective ways and swan keeps reading him increasingly hyperspecific contract clauses and scolding him like a kindergartner

some of the soup recipes ive found remind me of when i was like nine or ten and battling a cold so my tastebuds were off. and i put grape juice in my chicken noodle soup. and it was my new favorite food for about a week

it's hell trying to find medieval western european recipes that are 1. somewhat autism-safe, 2. don't contain nuts or other allergens, and 3. aren't some horrible food crime

though you don't have to tell me that restrictions like these completely defeat the purpose

if one is to prepare a historical meal, one must make the conscious decision to eat something completely rank, get overstimmed and die of anaphylaxis and also tastebud poisoning
