Propaganda: There is really no one else like them. Landing in the middle of the New Romantic era in London, the Pogues married punk’s contrarian tendencies with the fire of Irish folk music. They made music about displaced immigrants, political prisoners, and Celtic warriors, including the most popular Christmas song year after year in the British Isles, ‘Fairytale of New York’ . 

I wasn’t prepared for how sad I’d be when Shane MacGowan died this past November, even though I’d been expecting it for a while.

Hot Vintage Man Sunday. I am so here for it.

you gotta have a special on the Turner Classic Movies channel or something i'd kill to hear what they have to say about your poll results

every day i wait for my turner classic movies sponsorship

Please take good care of them!

We as a society have to start acknowledging that someone having a different perception of the same event is not a Gaslight. The foundational film you're thinking of is Rashōmon.

Roshomon. Roshomon. Drives me nuts every time I see that misspelling. Signed, The Spelling Sheriff

Propaganda

Omar Sharif (Funny Girl, Lawrence of Arabia)—Dark and thrilling, strange and sweet, honey in your ear, spice in your mouth, he was Sherif Ali the Arab, Yuri Zhivago the Russian, Colonel Grau the German and much much much more, here's to the one and only Omar Sharif---- Pharaoh of romance!!! (I'm sorry Im stealing lyrics from the song "Omar Sharif" but it ain't lying!)

Toshiro Mifune (Rashumon, Seven Samurai, Grand Prix, Stray Dog)—i love and respect my boi tab hunter (rest in peace you beautiful, beautiful man ❤️), but after i watched like 12 of his movies in a row on tcm last year, i ALSO love and respect toshiro mifune, son of a literal actual hatamoto’s (a high-ranking samurai) daughter, also very possibly related to the best judokan EVER, AND, he’s the guy who SHOULD have been obi-wan kenobi. the fact that he’s ALSO hot as hell just adds to his appeal.

This is one of two polls in the tournament semifinals. Please reblog with further support of your beloved hot sexy vintage man.

THIS POLL LASTS FOR 24 HOURS.

[additional propaganda submitted under the cut.]

Toshiro Mifune propaganda:

"In addition, he spoke fluent mandarin and every time he was casted in foreign films, he said his lines in the language of the movie (although they ended up dubbing him. He wasn’t happy about it though).”

Submitted: this gifset

Also submitted: this video (yes, that one)

"Crucial Toshiro Mifune propaganda: THOSE LEGS."

"That is hella muscle. Go watch The Hidden Fortress, aka Star Wars A New Hope. His thighs deserve an award."

Omar Sharif propaganda:

"he and Peter O'Toole didn't have the heaviest "we're fucking" energy in Lawrence of Arabia for nothing!"

"Additional Omar Sharif propaganda (I am counting as propaganda both the way he looks and the way Peter O'Toole is looking at him.)"

Should have nominated him myself. Him and Feargal Sharkey.

Good heavens. Did no one nominate Rod Stewart?

Nnnnnnope
