Will the REAL Big Bad Wolf please stand up? Warren William and stuffed animal that rather resembles him in UPPERWORLD (1934).

“Butch anarchism does not seek to bring the brutal order of Man’s World to Hades, nor to take that toxic upperworld in-hand, but instead to destroy the very roof of Hell. That is, to devour every foundation that men build on.”

now imaging the timeline where Kamala is president and eric adams flees to Turkey
Luciano was nonetheless a newcomer to upperworld politics, and seems to have been quickly outsmarted by FDR. Having secured the presidential nomination, FDR loosened the reins on Seabury’s investigation of corruption in New York, making clear that if it developed new evidence, he might be prepared to back prosecutions after all. Seabury quickly exposed significant Tammany graft in the New York administration. The city sheriff had amassed $400,000 in savings from a job that paid $12,000 a year. The mayor had awarded a bus contract to a company that owned no buses but was happy to give him a personal line of credit. A judge with half a million dollars in savings had been granted a loan to support thirty-four ‘relatives’ found to be in his care. Against the backdrop of Depression New York, with a collapsing private sector, 25 per cent unemployment and imploding tax revenues, this was shocking profligacy and nepotism. By September 1932 the mayor had resigned and fled to Paris with his showgirl girlfriend.

If everything is a fractal, what must the gardens of the afterlife look like, when this natural world is filled with such beauty, grace and splendor!?

I honor those gardens, by tending to the ones in this life🙏

Kinda fascinating. You can see the seeds of the erotic thriller genre being planted here. Obviously, UPPERWORLD lacks steamy sex scenes (though Ginger Rogers does perform a randy musical number). Beyond that, though, the film is a lot like an 80s/90s Michael Douglas flick w/ a more charming cast

Upperworld is a sinister little film - one of the last Pre-Code releases by a couple of months.

70 minutes of bleak class politics and the poor being ground between the gears of progress.

Mary Astor, Warren William, and Ginger Rogers are sublime.

some thoughts on Letterboxd:
Review of ‘Upperworld’ (1934) ★★★★
Bleak assessment of class politics circa 1934. Upperworld problematizes the "rich magnate embroiled in scandal" narrative by being honest about its power dynamics. Ginger plays a girl trapped in an…

Ginger Rogers in this decidedly Pre-Code get-up from "Upperworld" (1934) has ended my life ☠️
Ginger Rogers in a revealing sheer gown. it's transparent; underneath, bare skin and a flesh tone body suit, some of which is bejeweled. The still is from the 1934 picture, Upperworld.

"Once you enter the Underworld, you can’t return to the Upperworld whole again. You always have to leave something behind."

Just read the stunning 'Always Be Returning' by @foxesandroses.bsky.social. Lyrically beautiful and so impactful.

And now, for some cartography examples
Ha-Nahn Map A map of a large continent that is shaped roughly like a curving letter T. The continent is roughly divided into thirds with a lush rainforest bordered by mountains to the north, an inland savannah in the middle and an arid desert surrounded by mountains that makes up most of the bottom third of the continent. Rivers and lakes dot the north and middle with only a single large river flowing outward toward the south in the desert region. Emoris Map A map of Emoris, a fictional continent for my DnD setting. It has a large mountain range in the north west another in the south east and a desert just beyond it. The continent also has a huge inland sea. Wagadu Chronicles Upperworld Map A map of the Upperworld for the Wagadu Chronicles book/game. The map is oriented with East at the top and west at the bottom and features many strange continents and a design inspired by old maps of things like the Mali empire.

Remembering Dickie Moore, who died on today's date in 2015 at the age of 89. I know him best from Peter Ibbetson, Upperworld, and Out of the Past. He was married to actress Jane Powell from 1988 until his death. He was also the first actor to kiss Shirley Temple on screen.

AI and social media have since 2014 become accelerants of fires that started burning in the undergrowth a decade before.

To steal a Galeotti quip they brought and further degraded in the process what was swirling around in the digital underworld to the surface for everyone in the upperworld to see

The heroine is one who has remembered, reclaimed and reconnected with her unfettered red thread. She has been initiated into the spirit of the depths by her dark sister, and walks with newfound, embodied authority into the upperworld.
