Beautiful native american wisdom. I first heard this tale in a native american course at uni
I’m only 40, but I’ve lived a lot of life in these years, and I’m convinced this is true. The wolf you feed attracts similar wolves, too, so choose wisely.
Gillian Anderson as Morticia Addams
Wow… I adore The Addams Family and never would’ve thought Gillian Anderson would make a good Morticia, but I stand corrected…even if she were to keep the red hair. I wish I’d seen this when the image first came out, but better late than never. Thanks Tumblr!
On this day in….1985:
Stevie releases her third solo album, “Rock A Little”. The album reached #12 on the Billboard chart and was certified platinum within a month of its release. The recording process was notoriously troubled. Jimmy Iovine was supposed to produce the follow up to The Wild Heart but left in 1985, supposedly because Stevie was increasingly difficult to work with due to a growing cocaine addiction. A complete album of recordings was scrapped in early 1985 and the release date was delayed several times.
It’s no secret that I love this album, it’s just wild, crazy and excessive in everything, and with some many demos floating around there are basically 3 Rock A Little albums instead of just 1.
"I Can’t Wait" was the first music video of Stevie’s I ever saw…and my life changed forever! <3
There’s a fabulous interview with our fearless leader, Shannon Lark (pictured above alongside fellow board members Heidi Honeycutt (left) and Stacy Hammon - photo by Amanda Duchow), over on the Diabolique website. The interview was conducted by Michele Galgana who, soon afterwards, decided to team up with the Viscera Organization and became our Director of Marketing! Michele also has an article about Viscera that will be coming out in Diabolique issue 13!
I wish I could get the whole thing in, but see the cute? And then look at the bottom… (I know it’s “awe” and not “aww”, but still.)
Flavorwire posted a piece by Jason Bailey a couple of days ago called 20 Brilliant Filmmakers on Why They Make Movies. Four filmmakers out of the twenty were female: Kathryn Bigelow, Agnes Varda, Sofia Coppola, and Catherine Breillat.
Kathryn Bigelow:
“If there’s specific resistance to women making movies, I just choose to ignore that as an obstacle for two reasons: I can’t change my gender, and I refuse to stop making movies. It’s irrelevant who or what directed a movie, the important thing is that you either respond to it or you don’t. There should be more women directing; I think there’s just not the awareness that it’s really possible. It is.”

One of my favourite pieces by Salvador Dali: “Meditative Rose.” Makes my brain tingle.

O hai guyz!
My film Stella Buio will be playing this weekend at the Horrible Imaginings Film Festival in San Diego!! This is exciting on so many levels I can’t even express them…but I’m gonna try anyway!
Firstly, Horrible Imaginings is run by the swoon-worthy Miguel Rodriguez, one of the nicest people I’ve ever met.
Secondly, my film will be playing with so many awesome films by some awesome filmmakers and I’m sad that I can’t be there.
Thirdly, the Viscera Organization is a co-sponsor of the event alongside the film Shadow Hunters which will be produced by one of my sisters-from-another-mister and fellow Viscera board member, Stacy Pippi Hammon, and a bunch of my Viscera family are going to be there!
If you’re in San Diego, you should stop by and make me jealous that I’m not there. ;D Tickets are on sale now!
