Nolan’s The Odyssey isn’t an adaptation, interpretation, or even a deconstruction.

It’s a subversion - an undermining and reversal of the Homeric values that shaped the aristocratic warrior society of Odysseus: excellence, honour, glory, might.

Changing "getting a job" to "taking money from the rich" so my socialist friend finally understands it.

WESTWORLD (1973) Michael Crichton

[ℜ𝔞𝔢 @dystopiangf]

This is a great example that illustrates how the left’s love for Islam actually makes perfect sense. Many don’t realize this, but Islam is incredibly longhoused. Some of its most brutal enforcers are middle aged mothers and aunties; hijab is both the ultimate act of female intrasexual competition - flattening the beauty hierarchy - as well as a tool for the neutralization of male sexuality.

You can see how this perfectly serves the goals of women on the left, who want to exert unilateral control over relations between the sexes at best or even end heterosexuality at worst. The uglification of women in popular media is a form of hijab, hiding male-enticing beauty away “for women’s protection” and punishing male sexual attraction. These illiberal photo guidelines that feel like they’re from a conservative country are another example of the left’s adoption of virtual hijab as a tool for female sociopolitical dominance.

You might think, “Doesn’t this contradict the sexual vulgarity & immodesty promoted by the left in the West?” Superficially, it might seem that way, but the popular left’s love of prostitution is/was a stepping stone in the transition from liberal hedonistic democracy to asexual authoritarian regime. They were seeking to “desexualize” the female body through exposure (while also exerting control over the male psyche: just because a woman is scantily clad in public doesn’t mean you have permission to think demonic sexual thoughts about her!). The argument of topless feminists in France is that boobs should evoke zero sexual feelings; they’re just a body part. The argument of OnlyFans feminists is that their body is a tool for extracting resources from men. None of this actually has to do with the promotion of sexual freedom.

It’s all a game of flattening the SMV of women while exerting power over men through sexuality, and the tides are naturally shifting towards female-enforced asexuality (rather than female-enforced promiscuity). This is clear in the rhetoric of online Western feminists, who post more and more frequently about how scared they are of sex, how they avoid it (occasionally by going as far as to transition into men themselves). In this view, a feminist hijabi is completely rational, and perhaps even the perfected manifestation of an anti-male ideology.

Do not think that the rise of Islam in the West will mean the return of the patriarchy. No, it will mutate with our broken gender relations to form a novel, putrid mixture of sexual communism and repression. The future is asexual hijabis, finger wagging you to death

🔴Felipe Calderón afirmó en Madrid que México enfrenta un problema “parecido al de Venezuela” y advirtió que el país “va en la misma vía”.

El expresidente criticó la reforma al Poder Judicial y sostuvo que la elección popular de jueces y magistrados permitió el ingreso de abogados “leales al Gobierno”, incluidos, según afirmó, abogados de narcotraficantes.

Calderón cuestionó quién protegerá los derechos de los ciudadanos si, bajo este modelo, “nunca se le podrá ganar un juicio al Gobierno”.

[Foreign Horror Movies 🌍🔪 @foreignhorrorhq]

Left Bank is one of the most atmospheric horror films to come out of Belgium and almost nobody talks about it. The film uses its Antwerp setting as a slow-building dread machine, and the body horror payoff feels genuinely earned rather than gratuitous

Odysseus used Apollonian devices against powerful orgasmic energies. They tempt to preserve a completed, true, meaningful aesthetic tableau of Troy in all its suffering, joy, exhilaration in murder, arson, rape. Hearing without movement is eternity at the edge of orgasm: horror

"Saqaliba", white European slaves were mostly of Slavic origin and considered luxury imports....

Slavery is a word well understood, but in the minds of most people, it is associated with the black slave trade from Africa to America across the Atlantic. Many people are not aware that a parallel form of slavery existed in the kidnapping of white men and women by North Africans and Arabs. The purpose of these captures was slavery. Another aspect of this slavery was white women (preferably virgins) to populate the harems of the Arab Sheikhs and Beys. The Arabs and the Moors were the foremost exponents of this trade as they had a penchant for fair and golden-haired white girls. This trade lasted much longer than the black slave trade and overshot it by hundreds of years.

The black trade was stopped by an act of legislation. This did not happen in the case of the white slave trade which ended only after the Arabs and Moors were militarily crushed by the European powers.

The onset of white slave trade began when the Muslim arms conquered almost the entire North Africa and Spain. It was at its zenith when the Mediterranean Sea almost became a Muslim controlled lake with the Ottoman Empire at its zenith. Even after the defeat of the Muslims, the slave trade was taken over by Muslim pirates called the Corsairs.

The Corsairs were a daredevil lot and scoured the entire Mediterranean Sea. They also raided the coastal villages of Europe and kidnapped white girls. These girls have spirited away to the harems of the Arabs and sold at auctions where they earned a high price for the kidnapper.

White men were also kidnapped for ransom and to work as slaves. There are reports that King Richard the lion heart was also kidnapped and released when a large ransom was paid for him. As far as the kidnapping of girls from the European coastal villages is concerned, the effect was one of fear and many villages shifted deeper away from the coast, to escape from the marauding Muslim pirates.

Later the Muslim pirates started a preference for Slav girls who were fair and had golden hair. Raiding parties roamed the Baltic and the Aegean Sea for these girls.

The magnitude of the slavery can only be estimated as no exact figures are available. Generally, it is estimated that the figure would be over a million. The Corsairs were the main exponents of this white slave trade and they also extracted a levy from the ships that sailed the Mediterranean Sea. In the period after 1609 in a span of a decade, almost 400 British ships were captured and the men made slaves and released only after a ransom was paid. Other who could not pay languished in Arab farms as workers and slaves till death.

Later Britain paid a tribute and their ships were spared. But nations and settlements close to the sea in SE Europe and the Slav areas bore the brunt of this slavery.

A fact that has now emerged is the massive kidnapping and abduction of white girls as slaves for the harems of the Arabs. This menace lasted for hundreds of years and it continued until the 19th century. In 1814 the European powers signed a convention to outlaw the attacks of the Berbers and the Ottoman Turks.

The Christian nations now asserted and the rising White power inflicted heavy defeats on the Corsairs and the Turks. This rising European power led to the demise of the white slave trade. A point worth noting is that the slave trade in white women only stopped after the defeat of the Turks and Muslims and not by any act or edict.

Why hasn't The Ninth Gate received a bells and whistles release?
I've always found the audio on the dvd so low and substandard.
One of my top 5 films of all time.

[d4doome @d4doome]

Yes. David Lynch's movies have some neo-noir flavouring but that's just one of the ingredients. His movies are nothing like what you might call the mainstream of neo-noir. Lynch invented his own genre.

This might be a bit of a stretch but the neo-noir that is the closest thing I can think of to Lynch's work is the superb UNION CITY (1980).

[d4doome @d4doome]

And if we're talking about adaptation of epic poetry, Wagner's Ring cycle, based on The Nibelungenlied, has to be one of the greatest adaptations of all time. Yes I know it's not a faithful adaptation but it is one of the crowning glories of western civilisation.
