It’s essentially the same thing 🥱

you ever just think about how across the whole of human history, the window of time where women have been able to choose not to spend their lives cooking and cleaning and being pregnant for men they never wanted to marry is so vanishingly small, and even then that’s not an option for women in lots of areas of the world, and there are girls being taken out of school and forced to marry at 12 years old, and if nothing changes for them then all they’ll ever know is a life of forced servitude and abuse and rape, and how some men just see this as fucking normal

you ever just think about how the gulf between women’s rights in different countries is so massive and there are men working their fingers to the bone to strip back reproductive rights because they look at their society where women can live their lives free from being shackled to men through financial dependence and constant pregnancy and childbirth and think ‘this won’t do at all’

you ever just think about the surge of ‘tradwife’ propaganda and how people are romanticising the vulnerability and dependence that some women would kill to break out of. how women are romanticising their own oppression

still love it when people on tumblr with like 3200 niche fetishes who can't even feel attraction to actual people anymore call other people puritanical and anti-sex for being opposed to things like porn and genuinely stupid kinks and fetishes. like you would not be able to look a partner, real or hypothetical, in the eye during sex and you have to invent 200 games to play in order to get off but yeah you're very pro-sex. sure. that's what sex is, it's stupid dissociative roleplay with someone you're not truly attracted to in order to satisfy yourselves independently of one another. lol

Love her

Really wish there was more info and visuals about the Trance Gals

It's pretty hard to understate just how important Roger Corman was to cinema. His career ranged from directing cheap B-movies, to distributing foreign films, to script editing for 20th Century Fox, to cameoing in Silence of the Lambs. He was responsible for jump-starting the careers of so many like Jack Nicholson, Martin Scorsese, Peter Bogdanovich, Jonathan Demme, Joe Dante, the list is just endless. He was instrumental to the distribution of European and Asian films in the U.S., singlehandedly bringing Fellini, Bergman, Truffaut, and Kurosawa to mass American audiences and creating a market for these films where there had been none. The man had the single most interesting career in the film industry anyone has ever had, and he never stopped loving movies. RIP to a legend.

He's also the only reason we still have masterpiece of horror cinema, The Wicker Man (1973).

The film is famously surrounded by legends about missing footage, some true and some larger than life. We know it definitely existed as a 99 minute cut, and studio British Lion sent it to Corman for suggestions of cuts that would make it appeal to an American audience.

Corman's suggestions would result in the 87-minute cut that debuted in US theaters (which Christopher Lee toured himself on Midwest AM radio, for free; a story for another time). But when the film became a cult hit and people later wanted to restore the initial cut from the original film masters, British Lion was like, "lol we got rid of that shit."

Roger Corman was the only one who had a surviving version of the "long cut," since actual film cannisters had been sent to him for his editorial screening. That was used to restore the 99-minute version you can get on every special DVD and blu-ray release since. Thank you for preserving one of the all-time classics, Mr. Corman.
