pursesomewhere: I used to watch Some Like It Hot with my dad...

I used to watch Some Like It Hot with my dad and it was one of those things that you really thought only you and your dad knew about until, like, college. And then you were all uppity and snobby about it to anyone that mentioned it like I knew that movie from the jump, son.

Every time I see a still from this movie I think of my dad and I like it. Also, I can remember a palpable, strong yearning to be Marilyn. At the end, on the yacht - he’s wrapped around her fucking finger. I’m still learning how to do that. (via oldhollywood)

ragbag:

defrocking your books

it took me until pretty late in life to realise that book covers, by and large, are tacky and more or less useless. using them to keep dust from your books is akin to using neon plastic to preserve your furniture.

there are surprises in store for the adventurous defrocker of a hardback book…gold and silver foil stamping! linen! typography! earthtones! what’s more: since the binding of books has been more or less standardised over the last 3.2 million years, the dan brown bestseller that you bought yesterday will harmonise with your grandmother’s edition of fanny hill when they are both naked together on your bookshelf.

added bonus: you can upcycle your discarded covers into fashionable outerwear!

more unsolicited advice on how to arrange your bookshelf can be found here.

“So I was talking about Rashomon. I looked at Rashomon about a month ago. I re-watched it, and much to my surprise, Rashomon isn’t Rashomon. Rashomon is not a movie about the subjectivity of truth. That there’s no objective truth, just subjective truth. A truth for you, a truth for me. On the contrary, it’s a movie about how everybody sees the world differently. But the claim that everybody sees the world differently, is not a claim that there’s no reality. It’s a different kind of claim. What really surprised me on re-watching Rashomon is that you know what really happened at the end. It’s pretty damn clear. Kurosawa gives you the pieces of evidence that allow you to figure out what really happened. So, it’s not what many people imagine it to be, but it is a very powerful story about self-interest, about wishful thinking, about self-deception, about people imagining scenarios at variance with the truth”

““The people who file-share are the ones who are interested in music,” said Mark Mulligan of Forrester Research. “They use file-sharing as a discovery mechanism. We have a generation of young people who don’t have any concept of music as a paid-for commodity,” he continued. “You need to have it at a price point you won’t notice.””
