24/7 Frankie Teardrop Challenge

full translated text: Knitted images, JACQUARDS OF NEW YORK, are as rich as the landscapes of the countryside. In postcard-like jacquard, here are New York and its surroundings, nothing but stitches to tell the story of the neon graffiti that scratches the American night, the hustle and bustle of Broadway, Manhattan, Kennedy Airport. The Empire State Building, the World Trade Center, or with the voice of Liza Minnelli and the humor of Woody Allen, knit this 100 Ideas blockbuster.

“The Empire State Building, the World Trade Center, with the voice of Liza Minnelli and the humor of Woody Allen!” NEW YORK BAYBEE

“Jacquards of New York” 100 Idees Janvier 1980 the skyline in 8 bit with a little tugboat in the water paired with a lurid pink sparkle scarf

The skyline but with traffic instead of water….if that’s neon in the background I hope someone kept it

a normal very 80s fun size fits all stripey sweater but she’s holding a little American flag and there’s a giant postcard of the Empire State Building

Nothing more American than Coca Cola and a cardigan with either the twin towers or UN building with TWO PLANES IN SILVER FLYING OVER

found a 1980s French sweater tribute to New York

it’s not a great movie, but it was an enjoyable and odd watch, from one of the writers of THE CHINA SYNDROME, featuring kids in bronzer as the aliens

it features but definitely isn’t starring Robert Carradine; though the film opens with his whole backstory, it yadda yadda yaddas the leads’ relationship with a voiceover mentioning ‘two weeks in Mexico’ before dumping them in a military bunker courtesy of old timey miner Keenan Wynn

Yes that is the lead singer of the Runaways; she’s psychic here

Despite its sick posters and Tangerine Dream score, WAVELENGTH (1983) plays closer to FOES (1977)- driven not by plot or character but military reaction, shoddy looking with amazing special effects (it looks cheap despite employing multiple Apache helicopters, etc)

that’s not very amazeballs of them

(smugly) gas prices? I moved to a major nuclear target so I wouldn’t *need* a car

I feel insane having to carry on with my stupid life writing my stupid articles as though everything won’t collapse in a couple of days

man, when society finally collapses, I am going to miss croissants

remember Mulder’s “southern accent’ recalling his past life?

Made In Sheffield was definitely a student project, but it’s as surprising to see Jarvis Cocker as it is enlightening to realize why the best-loved bands of the scene didn’t make it big as interviews unfold

Make sure you get the full version; there’s a shorter version that cuts out acts like Skafish (which, maybe not a bad call but)

I couldn’t find a scan of RES Magazine’s accompanying DVDs, but I did find this

I think part of the reason “people only use 4 websites” is because every other website has, minimum, video ads top and bottom that will crash the site in a minute and one that suddenly takes up the whole screen like a jump scare

From Wikipedia: VCRs declined in popularity during the 2000s and in 2016, Funai Electric, the last remaining manufacturer, ceased production.

feel like a dumbass as I blithely assumed VCRs were still being manufactured, against all logic

counter argument without reading this article: if you are about to scoot through tik tok for the next 10 stops buy headphones and superglue them to your head

image of Mechthild Großmann and Udo Kier in Seduction: The Cruel Woman. she is dressed in sparkling black, leaning over him as he kneels on the floor looking up at her with those beautiful, pleading eyes. he's so sad-eyed tormented pretty in this film, it's breathtaking.

went to a screening of Seduction: The Cruel Woman (1985) at @musicboxtheatre.bsky.social last night and wow wow wow, shoutout to @muscledistribution.bsky.social

fellow sickos, it's on criterion channel for now

I could not even finish the trailer for THE BRIDE!

if I knew it was Panic! At The Disco Bonnie and Clyde I could’ve saved myself 56 whole seconds

The Shakers weren’t wrong for their time when their answer to ‘how can we have true equality between men and women’ was ‘ditch sex’

I missed the 2024 Ryuichi Sakamoto concert film "Opus," in which a near-death Sakamoto plays three songs a day on piano -- so i'm checking out the soundtrack -- totally stunning what a guy can do with just a piano and a perfect mind www.youtube.com/watch?v=ag_s...

Attacking Americans’ treats is like invading Russia in winter - let him rip

shhhh don’t tell him that

as a foolish child, I thought the overconfident chatroom steampunks covered in glued-down gears were the worst this kind of stupidity would get

Thank you for sharing Bollywood’s blatant disregard for Hollywood copyright

that this is actually Prince’s version from the 1991 Batman movie makes it twice as good
