TRULY i think there is something just so interesting about marius and taylor. for taylor it's all about, you're my family and i have a duty to protect you even though i kind of fucking hate you and you disgust me. i'd kill for you, i'm covering up a crime that you started, i love you, but i don't like you. for marius it's, you annoy the shit out of me, i don't like you and i've never liked you, i even hate you from the stories i hear from pete's childhood, but you're a part of this family and no matter what i'm attached and i need to protect you but you just rub me the wrong way. and honestly i think... if marius had just apologized for slashing taylor's tire, they wouldn't even be where they are in s2. but it's absolutely fascinating to see where they do end up. this dual need to protect each other even though they can't stand one another. i just...! want to explore this relationship and i think there are so many layers to it that we don't really get in s1. so, despite some of s2's failings for me, the plotline with marius absolutely rocks. and i just love what they've done with him and taylor.
“Paramount Pictures owned the rights to the television series, and had tried for years to make a movie version, but had failed to come up with a viable treatment. Tom Cruise had been a fan of the show since he was young and thought that it would be a good idea for a movie. Cruise chose Mission: Impossible to be the first project of his new production company and convinced Paramount Pictures to put up an $80 million budget.” Tom Cruise as Ethan Hunt in Mission: Impossible (1996) dir.

somehow my ass managed to figure out a very precise detail from the diane perry tape... was listening through and realized it's a fucking radio session! so i did some digging trying to figure out when and where this was broadcasted, but as usual, couldn't find jack. then i came across this moment in the video where the host and anton are talking about a live bjm show that's being played at the dna lounge with spike 1000 as the opener "on tuesday." so i was like, hm, what's the dna lounge? looked it up and it's this night club in san francisco with live music, which is obvs where bjm was based out of, so it's a hit. searched up dna lounge and brian jonestown massacre together and found this calendar page on their website, with all of the past shows from 1985-1999... turns out bjm DID play with spike 1000 as the opener on august 30, 1994 which was a tuesday! i was so happy when i found this, i could've fucking kissed the person who made this page and compiled all of the past shows, this is why archiving is so damn important. so jwz from san francisco, you're my fucking guy. anyway, so basically the diane perry tape was recorded at MOST a week before that show at the dna lounge, i just don't know exactly what date and i'll probably keep digging and see if i can figure out what the radio station was or who the host was. i'm gonna figure this shit out.
also i did uncover some new evidence concerning "fade" from pol-pot's pleasure penthouse... randomly stumbled upon this chinese website that listed the length of every song on the album and fade was there! coming in at 3:19, so my theory is that this song is more akin to the cures (which have singing and are more so actual songs) rather than the other fades (which are purely instrumental). i couldn't figure out how to create an account though, unfortunately. so fade is still lost and seems to exist nowhere else on the internet except this random chinese website. what the fuck even is my life.
anyway so yeah!! more bjm things i uncovered and i'm proud of my detective work. it's always something when it comes to this band
