Vincent Price always dreamed of being a Shakespearean actor, and it shows—he’s operating at full power here, elaborate costume changes and all. And Diana Rigg as Edwina Lionheart doesn’t get lost in his fire. She keeps up well, adding a deranged pathos to the story.

The pace of this movie can only be described as “party,” with hardly a moment passing before the next unhinged event unfolds.

The script walks the line between goofiness and genuine menace, and the performances match that intention perfectly. Everyone on screen seems to be having just as much fun as I was watching it.

This is one of those “it’s been on my list for 30+ years” movies, and I’m so glad I finally got around to seeing it.
​
Totally worth watching, owning, and re-watching. Within the first four minutes, I knew this was going to be something special. It only got better from there.

I came up with the prompts for this 12 songs challenge to send to some friends because it seemed like a fun way to get to know them better and also I love / am addicted to making playlists. Always looking for new music. My spotify looks as bad as my email. Loved making mixtapes back when mixtapes were made and burned CDs scratched and strewn in car passenger seats with heavy marker labels and doodled impossible to read tracklists.

It's hard to have words to say what we mean and communicate sometimes, a lot of the time, all of the time? And giving someone songs that have moved you in some way, have lived with you, with the hope that someone might momentarily exist in the same space you have existed in, feels like a beautiful ritual we should continue to perform. To reach across the divide to say: I see you. Do you see me? Are we here together?

I sent the prompts to a couple friends then had the idea to share them and catalogue them here on the blog. Truly grateful for everyone who spent time in their day to put theirs together and think about their life as soundtrack and send it in. On the way I've made some new brilliant friends. I've been turned on to a lot of music I didn't know before. I've tried to listen to every playlist from start to finish, on a walk or laying down, doing chores,  and have enjoyed the ride of each, wondering about the lives lived accompanied by these sounds.

​I started making my own when I shared the prompts but it remained unfinished and has changed over the summer many times, obsessions passing and new ones taking hold, what I've been listening to lately, how to choose from all the awesome Gemini artists that have impacted me, what sort of wrestler I would want to be. Only finishing it yesterday, now in September and the weather finally starting to feel mildly mildly like fall. Listening through it a last time it seems pretty sad, end-of-something more than beginning-of-something, like a fall playlist. What comes first, the feeling or the song? But I think also hopeful?

It would be cool to do this again and keep the project going. 12 songs to... ​
