Hey, Japanese translator friends, question: In the film House, the main character’s name is “Oshare”— I have seen this translated as “Beauty” and more recently as “Angel”. Based on what Oshare implies, what can lead a translator to making a choice on how to translate it in these ways?

Johnny was not a prison abolitionist; he was definitely a reformer. But he absolutely saw prisons for what they were. www.currentaffairs.org/news/johnny-...

Johnny Cash, Prison Abolitionist
The late country singer had a far more clear-eyed understanding of the horrors of incarceration than some of today’s “leftists.”

Stevie has said “Landslide,” written in 1973, came together in about five mins. Her debut w/Lindsey had flopped and they had been dropped from their label. Their relationship was deteriorating, and she was wrestling w/whether music was going to work out, or if she should just go back to school.

So these two gentlemen are Greg and Jenius— they are hosts of the Friday Night Fright at my local theater and they open every film with some trivia and prizes (along trailers and clips that are somehow related to the film). They are also hosts of the Nightmare Junkhead podcast. They’re cool guys.

The Dunwich Horror soundtrack. The film is based on the HP Lovecraft story of the same name and stars Dean Stockwell and Sandra Dee. The film is nothing like the story… which is perfectly fine! It is quite a wild ride with great music! @nightmarejunkhead.bsky.social Friday Night Fright when…? ☺️
The front of the record shows Dean Stockwell with his eyes wide open and his hand on the side of his face. 

The top reads Mjsic of the Devil God Cult

On the left it reads Strange Sounds from Dunwich

I was just thinking of when I lived in the UK— I was broke most of the time and had a hard time getting back to the states on a regular basis… but the fact that I was kind of stuck in one place with limited resources taught me a lot. And sometimes I think I forget that.

#TitleCardTuesday #Shocktober #filmsky George A. Romero readily admitted that Herk Harvey's Carnival of Souls (1962) was a big influence in his making of this film. When the zombies are eating the bodies in the burnt-out truck, they were actually eating roast ham covered in chocolate sauce.

1937s Snow White and the Seven Dwarves from Disney. As much as I made my poor baby sitter watch it with me, I was always scared of the witch. It wasn’t even just how the character herself looked— it was also how she was animated. My god I loved that movie but she FREAKED ME OUT.

I think this is what happens when you have a culture and an economy that’s so focused on competition and beating other people. You can’t just do something for pleasure. You can’t just find satisfaction in the work that you do. You have to WIN. You have to be THE BEST.
