@EliasEells @leemandelo @eakilcoyne @Catrionaward @pdjeliclark @MrGaunt Have you already gotten a Louisiana? Poppy Z Brite's LOST SOULS takes place partly in New Orleans (for that matter, any of the Anne Rice vampire books would probably check that box)

@leemandelo LEEE lee So I'm a big Dennis Cooper fan... but I read The Sluts recently, and... I never say this but... I wish I hadn't. So insanely horrific and brutal and not in a way that prompted me to think or made me feel anything other than revulsion. YMMV!!

Cinema: The Archaeology of Film and the Memory of a Century

Jean-Luc Godard
Sam J. MillerSam J. Miller

Jean-Luc Godard was committed to an anti-capitalist/anti-Hollywood mode of cinema: making films & telling stories that were revolutionary in content & format. I often disliked the emotionlessness of his movies, but I love what he was trying to do (& sometimes succeeded at). RIP.
