My friend is rooting for Sofia Loren and sent this friendly propaganda photo of her.
Sophia Loren vs Mbissine Thérèse Diop
Say what you want about the 2023 Shakespeare in The Park production of Hamlet, but the choices made in that play WORKED. Having Hamlet wear a black hoodie and camo pants and him dramatically putting his hood up when he was pissed off was inspired. Having Horatio video tape Claudius on an iPhone camera from the side of the stage during the play within the play was hilarious. Having the play within the play be a hip hop dance number that represented the murder!?! Fantastic. Having Ophelia be a singer before she went mad and having a beautiful voice that everyone loved to listen to and then seeing her singing get worse and worse as she got nearer to death?!?! Hamlet pulling out his iphone after killing Polonius to show his mom a picture of his dad compared to a picture of Claudius and angrily swiping back and forth between the two as he said “What judgement would step from this… to this?” The crowd fucking lost it every time. Horatio singing to Hamlet as he died made me fully sob every time. The way they did the ghost on stage was so chilling and I can’t even accurately describe it, you just had to be there. Hamlet being deeply exasperated the entire time was just perfect. Hamlet and Horatio had a secret handshake. Laertes inexplicably carried an acoustic guitar case for much of the play which was very funny but also hit you with the heartbreaking implication that he had used to play while Ophelia sang and he stopped carrying it after she died. It was peak teenage-angst-hamlet and it was so dear to me. PLEASE if anyone has a recording, send it to me.

Propaganda: There is really no one else like them. Landing in the middle of the New Romantic era in London, the Pogues married punk’s contrarian tendencies with the fire of Irish folk music. They made music about displaced immigrants, political prisoners, and Celtic warriors, including the most popular Christmas song year after year in the British Isles, ‘Fairytale of New York’ .
I wasn’t prepared for how sad I’d be when Shane MacGowan died this past November, even though I’d been expecting it for a while.

Hello! First of all, thank you for running this blog, and to any submitters, it's been fun looking up actresses and movies I didn't know about! ❤️
I've finished compiling the list of films from the propaganda on letterboxd so here it is:
https://letterboxd.com/therondoudou/list/vintage-ladies-propaganda/detail/
(It's also on my blog if needed cause of any Tumblr copy paste shenanigans)
Same disclaimer as when the list was incomplete :
These films aren't suggestions by @hotvintagepoll or by me, so enter at your own risk! I added some warnings for some of the films and can add more if people dm me because I've definitely forgotten some, especially from the ones I haven't seen.
Like before, DM if there are typos or errors!
This is amazing! Big boost!
Laika: 1954-1957
Opportunity Rover: 2004-2019
They are already selling data to midjourney, and it's very likely your work is already being used to train their models because you have to OPT OUT of this, not opt in. Very scummy of them to roll this out unannounced.
S.E. Hinton, 1967, the year her book The Outsiders was published at age 19. (First edition shown below.)
Susan Eloise completed the book while still in high school. The contract from Viking Press to publish it arrived the day of her graduation from Tulsa’s Will Rogers High.
I love how Elvis Presley looked around 1950’s pinup culture America and basically said: “but guys, women get horny, too!”and then proceeded to feed thirsty masses of ladies with his sexy content for the next three decades
Hot Vintage Man Sunday. I am so here for it.
you gotta have a special on the Turner Classic Movies channel or something i'd kill to hear what they have to say about your poll results
every day i wait for my turner classic movies sponsorship
*sits down to write a smut fic* The plot of this smut fic is that Character A believes himself abandoned by God.
Should have nominated him myself. Him and Feargal Sharkey.
Good heavens. Did no one nominate Rod Stewart?
Nnnnnnope
Roshomon. Roshomon. Drives me nuts every time I see that misspelling. Signed, The Spelling Sheriff
Propaganda
Omar Sharif (Funny Girl, Lawrence of Arabia)—Dark and thrilling, strange and sweet, honey in your ear, spice in your mouth, he was Sherif Ali the Arab, Yuri Zhivago the Russian, Colonel Grau the German and much much much more, here's to the one and only Omar Sharif---- Pharaoh of romance!!! (I'm sorry Im stealing lyrics from the song "Omar Sharif" but it ain't lying!)
Toshiro Mifune (Rashumon, Seven Samurai, Grand Prix, Stray Dog)—i love and respect my boi tab hunter (rest in peace you beautiful, beautiful man ❤️), but after i watched like 12 of his movies in a row on tcm last year, i ALSO love and respect toshiro mifune, son of a literal actual hatamoto’s (a high-ranking samurai) daughter, also very possibly related to the best judokan EVER, AND, he’s the guy who SHOULD have been obi-wan kenobi. the fact that he’s ALSO hot as hell just adds to his appeal.
This is one of two polls in the tournament semifinals. Please reblog with further support of your beloved hot sexy vintage man.
THIS POLL LASTS FOR 24 HOURS.
[additional propaganda submitted under the cut.]
Toshiro Mifune propaganda:
"In addition, he spoke fluent mandarin and every time he was casted in foreign films, he said his lines in the language of the movie (although they ended up dubbing him. He wasn’t happy about it though).”
Submitted: this gifset
Also submitted: this video (yes, that one)
"Crucial Toshiro Mifune propaganda: THOSE LEGS."
"That is hella muscle. Go watch The Hidden Fortress, aka Star Wars A New Hope. His thighs deserve an award."
Omar Sharif propaganda:
"he and Peter O'Toole didn't have the heaviest "we're fucking" energy in Lawrence of Arabia for nothing!"
"Additional Omar Sharif propaganda (I am counting as propaganda both the way he looks and the way Peter O'Toole is looking at him.)"
Mary Oliver, from “We Should Be Well Prepared”, Red Bird
Waylon Jennings with his friend Buddy Holly !
We as a society have to start acknowledging that someone having a different perception of the same event is not a Gaslight. The foundational film you're thinking of is Rashōmon.
Entertainers and their fear of eventual abandonment
Please suggest more lyrics/artists dealing with this subject that come to mind… this is something I want to add to. I know right now some Mitski lyrics will be tacked on soon… :)
Please take good care of them!
