I heard that you like the bad girls, honey, is that true?
I may be toast at the end of this week, but I would not trade the gorgeous double feature of David Lynch's Blue Velvet (1986) and Wild at Heart (1990) with which ![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
rushthatspeaks and I wound it up. Late to the party, I saw Hoosiers (1986) for the equally first time last month and Dennis Hopper at the top of his game really could do anything. We were passing Porter Square afterward when we saw a loose collection of action along the sidewalk that turned out to be a troop of redcoats marching down Massachusetts Avenue, presumably on their way to fight Lexington. Thanks to the street we lived on in my childhood, my very favorite iteration of Paul Revere's ride was the year in which, instead of clattering under the window shouting per usual, he came in a truck and explained his horse had broken down. No kings.

The redcoats ... oh, right; there was an anniversary of Revere's ride, if I recall. That would be big in your neck of the woods.

Damn straight. I'm listening to the recording of Bernie's and AOC's "Fighting Oligarchy" tour stop, this one in Missoula, Montana on the 16th. I don't care how many times I hear them, I don't get tired of the message.

There is nothing to be ashamed of! You have the movies in your future! I hope your anime and fanfic are treating you well.

It was an annual part of Patriot's Day when I was a child (and may have continued to be; we just moved from the street which was part of his historical route when I was ten years old). We went maybe once as a family to the sunrise reenactment on the Battle Green, but it was impossible not to notice Paul Revere riding past.

It's an important one.

I know so many historical songs about it and I don't want them to have been in vain!
Oh! Of course you do
Do you have a playlist somewhere?
Re: Oh! Of course you do
I don't! I could try to put one together.

While I'd love to hear it, please don't make the effort on my account. Feel free to expend your limited energy elsewhere.

It was a wonderful time.

It's so cool you're close to the reenactments, even if they're a little more on-point at present than one would wish. No kings!

I'd never seen either before! Wild at Heart was terrific and we could not figure out why it seems to be so little known, since it turns out in addition to underrated David Lynch to be prime Nicolas Cage (and back-to-back with Blue Velvet, really shows how Lynch leapt at the chance to write a banger of a part for Laura Dern). We are planning next to watch Lost Highway, which I have seen but not for years, and Inland Empire, which

Amen! We had talked about attending this year, but with my parents out of town and me getting my first chance to sleep all week, it did not happen. On the other hand, I slept.

I am delighted to know all of this. Reenactments have clearly gone downhill in the last century.
Awww Hoosiers
....helped cement my position as a sois-disant midwesterner. What a lovely movie that was.
NO KINGS!
Re: Awww Hoosiers
I loved it! I had gone nearly my entire life unaware of its existence! Even more than a sports movie, it was a beautiful snapshot of people/place/time.
NO KINGS!
AMEN.
