Florida
Anyway, it’s hot here, it’s hot.
That’s all I gotta say.
Florida’s hot.
There’s hurricanes and it’s hot.
There’s thugs… and muggers,
And… fourteen year old kids on bikes with guns.
Come on over sometime!

Conceptual Art
The system is the work of art;
the visual work of art is the proof of the System.
The visual aspect can’t be understood without understanding the system.
It isn’t what it looks like,
but what it is that is of basic importance.

New Goth for an Old Ceremony
It is better
to have partied
and crashed
than to never
have partied
at all.
Happy Birthday hya ❤

Noir
Hollow Triumph
Paul Henreid: You’re a bitter little lady.
Joan Bennett: It’s a bitter little world.
The Big Sleep
Humphrey Bogart regarding Lauren Bacall:
She was worth a stare. She was trouble.
The Big Steal
Robert Mitchum: I don’t usually make it a habit to butt into women’s affairs,
but what’s this guy Fisk to you?
Jane Greer: Don’t change your habits on my account.
Ace in the Hole
Jan Sterling: I don’t pray.
Kneeling bags my nylons.
Farewell, My Lovely
Dick Powell: I caught the blackjack right behind my ear.
A black pool opened up at my feet.
I dived in.
It had no bottom.
Detour
Tom Neal: Money. You know what that is. The stuff you never have enough of.
Little green things with George Washington’s picture that men slave for, commit crimes for, die for.
It’s the stuff that has caused more trouble in the world than anything else ever invented.
Simply because there’s too little of it.
The Big Steal
Jane Greer to Robert Mitchum: What I like about you is you’re rock bottom.
I wouldn’t expect you to understand this,
but it’s a great comfort for a girl to know she could not possibly sink any lower.
The Woman in the Window
Edward G. Robinson to Joan Bennett: There are only three ways to deal with a blackmailer.
You can pay him and pay him and pay him until you’re penniless.
Or you can call the police yourself and let your secret be known to the world.
Or you can kill him.
Blade Runner
Harrison Ford: [narrating] I don’t know why he saved my life.
Maybe in those last moments he loved life more than he ever had before.
Not just his life – anybody’s life; my life. All he’d wanted were the same answers the rest of us want.
Where did I come from? Where am I going? How long have I got?
All I could do was sit there and watch him die.

Enchantment
Who can tell me if we have heaven,
Who can say the way it should be;
Earth’s last picture, the end of evening
Hue of indigo and blue.
Moonlight holly, the Sappho Comet,
Angel’s tears below a tree.
A new moon leads me to
Woods of dreams and I follow.
A new world waits for me;
My dream, my way.
I know that if I have heaven
There is nothing to desire.
Rain and river, a world of wonder
May be paradise to me.

Get Right With God
Get down with him
I would risk the serpent’s bite
I would dance around with seven
I would kiss the diamond back
If I knew it would get me to heaven
‘Cause I want to get right with God
Yes, you know you got to get right with God
I would burn the soles of my feet
Burn the palms of both my hands
If I could learn and be complete
If I could walk righteously again
I would sleep on a bed of nails
‘Till my back was torn and bleeding
In the deep darkness of Hell
The Damascus of my meeting
I asked God about his plan
To save us all from Satan’s slaughter
If I give up one of my lambs
Will you take me as one of your daughters?
‘Cause I want to get right with God
Yes, you know you got to get right with God
