now that’s business oriented thinking

Could’ve been Kashyyk

yup.

still can’t fathom why it couldn’t been just lots of wookies instead.

oh cool

facts

oh. Adam Ant is one of the post-punk OGs - he was one of the earliest punk artists who went further into high concept stuff instead of simplistic fast and aggressive stuff. Ants and Banshees basically codified that stark post punk sound everybody associate with the genre. The first album is this angular beast - kinda as if Bauhaus sounded like The Fall with Byron singing the lead. And then Malcolm McLaren conducted a coup a hired away Adam’s band into Bow Wow Wow. Adam brought in Pirroni and switched style towards brighter and more flamboyant sound and that gentlemen robber pirate aesthetic. Instead of mechanistic rhythms of debut they added a variety of african-inspired tribal beats spearheaded by monolithic guitars and that became their sonic template for the next two albums. Prince Charming was the last album with the Ants but it is Friend or Foe from the next year that is basically the end of that particular aesthetic after which Ant started veered towards 80s pop rock and his unique aura started to fade away.

yeah!

facts

It’s Jean Rollin special.

Mark 2 Adam and the Ants to be specific - after McLaren had stolen the band from him.

they look like The Cult circa 1985.

It is super NSFW so fair warning just if case

Lost Girls actually exists and it was written by Alan Moore and it is literally a pornographic novel about Alice, Wendy and Dorothy having fun right before World War 1 starts. It is also very-very good.

that’s like pre-historic Crawford - before Letty Lynton reinvented her image in the early 1930s into classic Crawford.

despite being quite an acting powerhouse - much of her filmography is just there. She’s kind of wasted in The Ten Commandments for example.

good luck

yup

nah

George Lucas’ heavily postmodern variations of sci-fi and pulp adventure (like it is actually impressive how much he managed to synthesize into Star Wars and Indiana Jones) could only work in that relatively short window of time between first Star Wars 1977 and last Indiana Jones movie 1989. After that it kinda petered out in a lot of ways.
