Pre-post post!

I'm not even ready to write something. But blank space is so horrible, and my ideas are so jumbled at the moment. And so there will be a pre-post brainstorm post. Here are some things I want to learn more about, and others about which I already have opinions.

Shhhh.... The curtain is not yet up.

• Love of pre-code films
• Liminality of the early talkies
• "Just Imagine" -- queer Mars and evil twins in the Black Lodge
• Judith Butler? Anyone? Hello?
• "The Smiling Lieutenant" and the sissy girl slap fight
• Alas for the flapper!
• Movies I want to see, but haven't found for free view yet.
• "Waterloo Bridge" -- Mae Clark smashes grapefruit in Vivien Leigh's face
• Joan Blondell vs. Jean Harlow in the bath
• Fandom before video stores
• Quentin Crisp understands Joan Crawford, sort of
• Why is William Powell so sexy? Is it just when he reflects the glow of Kay Francis?
• The inspiration of "The Celluloid Closet"
• Primary sources -- Lantern Media Search, Open Library, and Internet Archive. Do I really need to re-learn proper citation formats?
• Will someone get Myrna Loy out of yellowface already? Don't make me call Edward Said.
