The Revision: Lady Snowblood

A still from Lady Snowblood

The Revision: Baba Yaga

A still from Baba Yaga (1973)

Some people end up dead because of Valentina’s now-cursed camera and there are doll doppelgangers that sometimes come alive. Yes, trying to explain it, it all sounds silly but the comic blends what’s real and what’s not in such a masterful way.

The Revision: Barbarella

A screenshot from the movie Barbarella

In Jean-Claude Forest’s Barbarella, the title character is a young Earth woman adventuring her way through the universe, encountering various problems and new sexual partners along the way. It’s deeply weird and more fun than I expected.

Super Furry Animals - Phantom Power We were the smallest team at four members (teams could have up to 7) but we also had two former Jeopardy! contestants. It was us versus one other team for most of it, but a risky wager & a changed answer at the end helped put us over the edge. It was fun. -Tom Robinson Band - Power in the Darkness (but the bonus record) These are probably best of the Diana NYC photos, other than the one I already posted. One roll of film didn't seem like it loaded correctly so some weird things happened when it was developed. (It was a speciality roll anyway.) I am going to go through the photos I took in NYC with my Diana (some came out weird but still cool). I love this one so much, though. It was sci-fi night! I'll do another night of this! It was fun! Ai Yazawa manga & a cool T-shirt. I'm going to see how much I have left in me for NYC for the rest of the day. Fort Tryon Park, The Cloisters & then the Hilma af Klint exhibit at MoMA. That was focused on her botanical paintings, which are lovely, but I like her abstract stuff better. Still, I'm glad I got to see it. Forgive my sweaty face and frizzy hair. It's humid and I climbed 10,000 stairs to get here but I finally saw these in person! Worth it!
