Surely a 68-year-old director who has made two movies in the past 42 years is well-suited to reboot his own movie about a trans teenager on a killing spree in a way that adapts the material to meet the challenges of an age saturated in anti-trans propaganda

DOJ put out a memo stating that all recipients of federal funding must ban trans people from bathrooms.

www.justice.gov/ag/media/140...
Alt text: A section from a government memorandum titled "Segregation Based on Protected Characteristics" under the header "What Constitutes Unlawful Segregation?" It explains that segregation by federally funded entities based on characteristics like race or sex is generally unlawful, even if intended to promote inclusion. Highlighted text focuses on concerns regarding allowing males, including those who identify as women, access to female-only spaces such as bathrooms, locker rooms, and athletic events. The memo claims this compromises women's safety, privacy, and equal opportunity, potentially violating Title IX, and advocates for sex-based boundaries based on biological differences.

Someone on TikTok pointed out that Pedro Pascal’s two sentence Instagram comment got more press for trans rights than all trans people combined in the wake of this ruling- which is infuriating but also a reason for more cis people to speak out

Ezra Edelman on his cancelled Prince documentary series for Netflix and what will likely result instead. Couldn't be plainer. deadline.com/2025/03/prin...
He said the “sad thing” is that the public is somewhere between “doesn’t seem to care or know the difference”. “It’s like they’re being served slop, and they’re getting used to the fact that this is like, oh, I guess this is like f***ing like short rib. And I’m like, it’s not. It’s slop. I think that’s the bigger issue. This film about Prince, to me, it’s a full meal. And it’s not something you can just like tear through. It’s tough at times,” he added. Edelman spent five years directing the project, known as The Book of Prince, a process that was extensively detailed in a major feature in the New York Times. After Netflix axed the project, Edelman compared his project to a scene from an Indiana Jones movie. “The image I’ve had in my head is the last show of Raiders of the Lost Ark, of just a huge warehouse somewhere in Netflix. A crate and just like put away,” he said, adding that viewers won’t ever be able to see it because he doesn’t “feel like getting sued”. He said whatever the Prince estate and Netflix cook up is “not a documentary”. “It’s going to be a hagiographic propaganda love letter to Prince the artist. Are you going to learn anything about Prince? I doubt it. Are you going to learn anything dark about Prince? I doubt it. Are you going to learn anything complicating about Prince? I doubt it,” he added. He called the whole process the most “painful” and “difficult” thing. “Maybe the whole saga has officially concluded and I lost, and this happens to be such a sort of extreme high profile episode in documentary filmmaking,” he said. Edelman said that he wanted to tell the truth about Prince, the “mysterious figure”. “His androgyny and his being able to tap into his female side, his racial ambiguity at times and his message that comes from being, let’s just say, open to all things. By nature of him being 5’2, he looks like the underdog. He is this pixie fairy, purple genius. But the guy never stopped working and really worked in service of the fans. So, he lived as a mystery and he died as a mystery. But the guy, he was a shapeshifter and so he morphed, he changed lives. So, the guy who became a Jehovah’s Witness in the early aughts, and all of a sudden was like under the guidance of Larry Graham. That’s a different dude than the dude who did the Dirty Mind album in 1980 and was singing about head,” he added. One of the suggestions was that the Prince estate didn’t want some of the more troubling episodes of the Purple Rain star’s life exposed to the public. “This isn’t, by the way, like R. Kelly. And like, it’s like we already know what he’s guilty of. And you’re just like exposing sort of really horrid truths and that people need to know because this guy’s got to go down. This isn’t that. But people sort of were defensive in terms of like, as if he were that. The relationship to how much people love Prince. And it’s like, so who wants this? Like, who wants sort of a microscopic, you know, sort of accounting of someone’s life when some of it is going to be a little a little scummy at times. But the whole point of it is the journey. And the whole point of it was actually reflecting a journey that he went through,” he added. He said Prince was emotionally and physically “abusive”, pointing to comments from his protégé Jill Jones. “People had issues with how he treated people. He was emotionally abusive. He was physically abusive in very specific, I’ll say for how it was reported in one instance. The point is like this all weighed on him. And so this sort of dramatic life event, he thought partially he was responsible. But like the way that certain people, maybe the estate is characterizing sort of, oh, the film’s bad or the film’s this, it’s negative. I mean, whatever. It’s a joke. I mean, the whole idea is like, wait, so the estate had, here’s the one thing they’re allowed to do. Check the film for factual inaccuracies. Guess what? They came back with a 17-page document full of editorial issues, not factual issues. Do you think I have any interest in putting on a film that is factually inaccurate?,” he added. Edelman highlighted the irony that Prince was “notoriously [one of the] most famous control freaks in the history of artists”, someone who fought for artistic freedom, as evidenced by his legal battle with Warner Music. “I’m not Prince, but I worked really hard making something, and now my art is being stifled and thrown away,” he said. “This is the thing I just find galling. I mean, I can’t get past this, of the short-sightedness of a group of people whose interest is their own bottom line. They’re afraid of his humanity. The lawyer who runs this estate essentially said he believed that this would do generational harm to Prince. In essence, that the portrayal of Prince in this film, what people learn about him, would deter younger viewers and fans, potentially, from loving Prince. They would be turned off.”

Without Mel Brooks hiring Lynch to make THE ELEPHANT MAN — on the strength of ERASERHEAD alone — he is very likely just a guy who made a weird film at AFI. That whole filmography you love doesn’t happen.

We all need sponsors and mentors and patrons. We need people who believe in us.

once again thinking about this passage from David Lynch's book Catching the Big Fish
excerpt reads: "I hear stories about directors who scream at actors, or they trick them somehow to get a performance. And there are some people who try to run the whole business on fear. But I think this is such a joke -- it's pathetic and stupid at the same time. When people are in fear, they don't want to go to work. So many people today have that feeling. Then the fear starts turning into hate, and they begin to hate going to work. Then the hate can turn into anger and people can become angry at their boss and their work. If I ran my set with fear, I would get 1 percent, not 100 percent, of what I get. And there would be no fun in going down the road together. And it *should* be fun. In work and in life, we're all supposed to get along. We're supposed to have so much fun, like puppy dogs with our tails wagging. It's supposed to be great living; it's supposed to be fantastic."

Seems like one thing people are saying helped was reading the authors who influenced Gaiman, so how about we gather some here?

@mayteramarble.bsky.social mentioned Roger Zelazny.

I can't recommend Angela Carter enough.

What else, guys? xx
