New UNCLE CYRUS @MartianLit: 3:8 - DON'T YOU KNOW WHO I AM?!?
It's Monday!
Hope you had a lovely holiday. But Cyrus has been waiting in that line all this time and he's really not thrilled about it. (click image for full page)
Previous installments can be found here.
And if you missed it, there was LULU on Christmas! Click here to catch up.
And also, my last post was, at last, a decent copy(in English!) of Borowczyk's rare, OOP film of LULU, at least till Youtube makes me remove it. It's an update of an "Other Versions" blog entry that gets a surprising amount of presumably disappointed traffic, as every time I find one on the web which I can embed, it disappears.

Other Versions- Walerian Borowczyk's LULU (1980, UPDATED - English Language version complete)
Very rare, nearly impossible to find, so I uploaded a not great but adequate copy I don't know where I found in 2009. And here you go. And it's in English! Starring Anne Bennent as Lulu and...well, actually, her father as Schoen. Oddly appropriate. Video after the jump...

Pier Paolo Pasolini: A Selection of Films From European Literature 1968-1971
Pasolini. Love his films, and rewatch them a lot.
He's partly amazing to me because of the way he shows you the classics are just stories, and his intense focus on working-class characters grounds his films in a way that connects that age with this one; the characters of DECAMERON and CANTERBURY are not distant but immediate. This is the way I think adaptations should be done, and damn straight it's an influence on mine. Also just my general love for the freedom and guts movies showed about content then. And their look, which we know well now as the "dirty Medieval" approach brought to us via MONTY PYTHON & THE HOLY GRAIL, which they meant to look like... this!

My Impression of a Sanders Supporter When Challenged About the DNC Info Theft (UPDATED)
"Typical of a drone for Shillary. St. Bernie is perfect and pure and even when he breaks the rules it's to stop someone who will stop at nothing to beat him so that makes it right! Obviously you're ignorant and unprincipled to defend your girlfriend Hillary against what is obviously the messiah.
WHO OF COURSE SHE WILL CRUCIFY and we will all cry and moan and say of course the system was against it and we didn't plan to win anyway because the whole system is invalid and should be brought down but Bernie is somehow untouched by having been in it for ages. We were only trying to make a statement and now she STEALS THAT from us like she STEALS EVERYTHING and Vince Foster and Monica and skull and bones and what were we talking about again
oh right MONSANTO"
______________________________________
UPDATE: During the debate, Bernie Sanders showed far more integrity than any of his supporters who have tried to rationalize the data theft. He apologized, without excuses, to Hillary.
Which shows his supporters have completely embarrassed themselves. They should be proud of him, but ashamed of themselves. Because they revealed that while he has scruples, they do not. Good on Bernie.

Hey, let's not be so hasty to rush to judgment on Martin Shkreli. All we're basing that on is literally everything he's ever said and done.

Lucky for @MartinShkreli there are no AIDS victims in prison.
Oh, wait...

LULU Chapter 4 p. 76 - Off
Friday, which means it's LULU time once again! Click on image below for full-sized page.
Also, this week's UNCLE CYRUS at Martian Lit, if you missed it.
Also, some important news for both that you may have already seen. All the lovely published art--or rather, the pencils on 11"x 14" Bristol, because everything after pencils is now done digitally--for the current chapters of both of these are for sale at Ebay (along with a number of pages from LULU Chapter 1, a spiffy Vladrushka ink wash painting, and some other non-art items), because I need the space, and I really need the money. This includes the current page you see here. Please buy, and definitely share.
Here's the LULU pages...
Here's the UNCLE CYRUS pages...
...and here are all the items listed. Check 'em out!
And remember, I happily take pledges of any amount at Patreon to help me continue my work, and the larger the donation, the better are your perks!

For Fritz Lang's 125th Birthday: "M" (1931)
Today would have been the 125th birthday of the greatest director Germany ever produced. In his honor, his greatest film. You've probably seen it, but M is the very definition of rewatchable.

A Quite Simple Solution to All America's Gun Problems
Everyone in America gets to have a gun and you can use it once you practice on your own head first. Loaded, of course, else what kid of practice would that be?
I mean, if you can't hit THAT, well, you just aren't man enough to own one.

Rahm Emanuel: I Suppose He Has To Stay in Office Long Enough to Fire Them All (Updated)
Rahm Emanuel, in firing Chicago PD Superintendent Garry McCarthy, is doing right, but not making up for jackshit: he's doing his job at last and should not be applauded for doing this, as he should have done this ages ago and only is doing so now to save himself. Absolutely he should fire this bastard. And many more.
And then himself. Before he goes to jail. Why jail? Let Larry Wilmore explain that in the video at the bottom.
