I know this is out there somewhere already, but yeah.
I’m not saying it’s right, or even sane, but it’s all I’ve got left. So either help me or get out of the way! Batman Mask of the Phantasm (1993) dir. Bruce Timm & Eric Radomski
“She was so vulnerable to the world, but what a sweet person she really was, lovable, compassionate—I have nothing but grace for Marilyn, and she should have been at least nominated for an Academy Award for Bus Stop. But in those days, they preferred to nominate the Bette Davis kind of stars. You know, talking about Marilyn Monroe is strange. To me, she’s a person; to most people, she’s an idea.”
- Mamie van Doren on Marilyn Monroe
“I wrote this next song because I was sick & tired of these micro-aggressions. So tonight, this goes out to a white man that watches Ghetto Gaggers & mocks Asian people on a podcast. He also owns my masters. I've had enough.”

I think something’s wrong with me. I make friends, then suddenly I can’t bear to be with any of them. The other me, the cheerful and honest one… went away somewhere.

Ousmane Sembene was a Senegalese author, actor, screenwriter, director, producer, historian, poet, communist organizer and philosopher. He was the first person to ever make a film in an indigenous african language (he often wrote in Senegalese and Lebu Wolof), and he spent much of his life working to dismantle French imperialism, capitalist resource hoarding, and patriarchal violence against women. He’s one of those historical figures whose biography reads as too cool to be true but he truly was that kind of guy.
Unfortunately, most of his films, especially his later work, are hard to access or purchase in western/anglophone markets- I think the criterion collection carries a few of his older films? That being said, a lot of his books were translated into English and are particularly good- God’s Bits of Wood and Xala are definitely the most beginner friendly works from his collection and are pretty easy to find second hand. If you enjoy Western authors and artists like Albert Camus, Emile Zola, or Zora Neale Hurston you’ll definitely appreciate his writing. His work is also influenced by socialist realism, the Harlem renaissance, and Senegalese oral tradition. Compared to other famous west african writers (like Chinua Achebe, or Ngugi wa Thiong’o) Sembene works a lot of satire, irony, and humor into his writings, and his work really strives towards describing African joy, hardship, and community.
He’s such a cool artist and deserves to be more commonly known in the West, especially in Anglophone and Francophone cultures :)
