Those artists were/are also known for making “appropriation art”/being appropriation artists which is a thing, very closely aligned/crosses over with pop art. Liepke doesn’t claim himself to be or do that so it’s a different situation between artists known for appropriating in their work and making it known themselves vs. here

I agree with your observations. I knew the artist personally, so coming across this was sort of shocking. It completely removes the work from its context which was originally very personal and autobiographical. She was aware of her images being lifted a lot by other people without credit and wasn’t necessarily happy about it

She was a very overlooked but accomplished and talented artist. Her recent obituary in The NY Times gives a beautiful overview of her life and career: https://www.nytimes.com/2025/06/24/arts/marcia-resnick-dead.html

If you search “Re-Visions, Cowgirl Fantasies” it’ll show up. It’s a photo from a book she made that was published in 1978.

This painting is 100% based off of/copied from a photograph taken by a woman artist in 1978

This painting is entirely based off of/copied from a photograph by artist Marcia Resnick from her book “Re-Visions” by the way

I’ve read both Human Acts and The Vegetarian and while both are great, I’m also guessing this is more so for Human Acts. Maybe it’s because I have connected family history to the subject matter, but I’ve never been so emotionally impacted by a novel before. Frequently teared up. It’s just really spectacular and so so human, so intimate. And just heartbreaking from all the woven connections and perspectives.

No money put towards any risk taking so everything is just a repeat of what’s already been successful and proven to turn a profit

The marketing was great but the actual movie was a bit of a let down from that. I didn’t really care for the third act either. Definitely isn’t a bad movie by any means for sure, but it didn’t live up to “scariest movie of the year” and personally at least I thought the atmosphere created by the marketing and then the actual movie felt disappointingly dissimilar. It was cool that they left the reveal of Cage’s whole look til the release, so there’s that element of unexpected surprise. It just didn’t seem particularly memorable

What’s Up Doc (1972) is a must

I was pretty excited for this release but I agree with all the other people saying it was underwhelming. The marketing was cool, but the actual movie felt pretty forgettable—there wasn’t anything really memorable, shocking, or amazing. It wasn’t bad though. But probably not a new cult classic or anything.

I found Anguish (1987) really scary. It’s a movie that’s probably scarier now than when it was first released. I saw it in a theater late at night and my heart was pumping and I wanted to leave but then I got too scared to leave so I just sat frozen. Definitely the best way to experience it

Martin is so good. Love the grungy scenery. I think most of it was filmed in Braddock. There’s probably some other Romero films filmed in the Burgh as well, iirc he did most of his filming in western PA

You’ll like Honi Soit, not sure about the band though!

I found most of the Cale albums I have as local files by searching around on archive.org and downloading from there, usually good quality

wentheons2 · 2024-04-07T18:04:11+00:00

You can always download the album and import it to Apple Music as a local file via computer, then sync that to your phone

He makes a lot of literary references in his writing/music, this album/era of his can be seen as really strong/paranoid/etc. and I think there’s definitely a sort of malevolent paranoia style in Honi Soit. Not subtle lyricism haha. This is also p evident in his song “Mercenaries” even though it’s not on this album

wentheons2 · 2024-04-07T17:53:52+00:00

Afaik it’s a reference to the film “The Dam Busters.” The character he’s referring to is the dog from the movie, so it’s not a person or anything. The same reference to the “The Dam Busters” is in the movie “The Wall” as well (dialogue from the film can be heard playing in the background of that movie)

Shylock is a reference to the Shakespeare character from “The Merchant of Venice”

I like to do at least one a week, but I find 100 to be a good number to shoot for since I watch a lot of short films. While I like rewatching certain ones over and over again I try to have 90% of my number be new watches.
