screenshot from Jackie Brown of Robert Forster's Max Cherry standing by dresses in the women's section of a department store. Forster is tan with blue eyes, a weathered face, slightly thinning salt & pepper hair. he's wearing a gray wool sport coat and a cherry-red polo shirt.

Max Cherry standing in front of shelves of cassette tapes, the shelves fill the frame. he's wearing a cobalt blue sweatshirt, his brow is furrowed as he studies the Delfonics tape in his hands

Max Cherry driving his powder-blue '76 Cadillac Seville, the interior is a powder-blue weathered & cracked leather to match the exterior. he's listening to his new Delfonics tape so the caption is from their song "Didn't I (Blow Your Mind This Time)" and reads, "I gave my heart and soul"

closeup on Forster/Max Cherry's face as he sees Pam Grier's Jackie Brown for the first time

thinking about Max Cherry again. one of my favorite characters of all time, the Platonic ideal of a man.

eyelid has been twitching nonstop for almost a week, I’m sure this is fine

I see the vision

two very strange young men

okay yeah, let's

one pedophile down, only (indeterminate number here) to go

Attorney General Matt Gaetz has brought down his first and last sex criminal, Attorney General Matt Gaetz.

Don't want to see transsexuality? Pluck out your eyes!

Wishing all trans folks love and joy today, and vengeance for the ones we've lost. And if you hate trans people, fix your hearts or die.

incredible hound!

living in the US nowadays feels like I’m starting to get the appeal of Russian Roulette

Clench your jaw. Drink only caffeine. Don’t go to bed until 3 AM. Forget to eat anything until 6 tonight and then eat 2.5 plates of pasta. We’re in this together.

text reads: "LEE VAN CLEEF: I came into this town in a stage play called Mr. Roberts. Stanley Kramer saw it and put me in a picture called High Noon. The first time I went into his office he told me to go fix my nose and I told him to go fuck himself. So he told me that instead of playing the second lead I would have to play one of the silent heavies. I said, 'Fine - silent is the way I play.' In fact, in the middle of the picture, Fred Zinnemann, the director, said, 'I want you to say 'Howdy' or something to Ian Macdonald when he's getting down off the train,' and I said I didn't think I should - 'I've been playing this silent, and if I open my mouth one iota it's going to destroy the strength of the character.' And he agreed with me. Most actors like to talk a lot - I don't. I read scripts, and I cut the dialogue down to the barest essentials. I've always done that."

god I love Lee Van Cleef (excerpt from an interview with Alex Cox)

oh no

abandoning my family on Christmas Day as soon as the last ribbon is off its box, I will not wait a second longer
