She loves it. 😊 Fun Fact: It was the first R-rated film I ever saw and being from South Holland, I saw it in Calumet City. They had the famous Blues Brothers car parked outside the theater the day I saw it. THE most Chicago movie ever.

positive · AI labelView post →Today's Nazi Punch of the Day is an important lesson from the 1980 film The Blues Brothers: how to punch Illinois Nazis with your car. (Over on Tumblr, it was pointed out that NPD refers to a mental illness, so I'm switching that tag to NPotD.) #NaziPunching #NPotD

neutral · AI labelView post →#TheBluesBrothers is trending, so I'm resharing one of my favorite reviews of one of my favorite movies of all time in which I wrote about the radical power of multiculturalism and remembering our diverse history. I also compare it to White Christmas (1954) as a parallel American nostalgia film.
positive · AI labelView post →The Blues Brothers had the right idea. Pretty sure this movie is an instruction manual for life.
positive · AI labelView post →Tonight's movie is The Blues Brothers. When I was a kid, I'd put this on and then recreate the car chase at the end of the film with my hot wheels cars. But of course I didn't have the... 300 or so cop cars like they had in the movie lol
positive · AI labelView post →I erased one of my mum's favourite films on VHS to tape The Blues Brothers on TV in the 80s. I cocked up. Was a listing for the The Boys in Blue that film with Tommy Cannon and Bobby Ball. I wiped her favourite film, Coal Miner's Daughter, for Cannon & Ball.
neutral · AI labelView post →I have always had an affinity for the Blues Brothers, a film I have seen approximately 2000 times. All my minimum wage jobs growing up were in Calumet City, IL (the town next door to us), I think Nazis are pathetic weasels, I love great music and I too am on a mission from God.
positive · AI labelView post →The Blues Brothers (1980) is a movie about using nostalgia for one of the most American music traditions (blues) to fight systemic violence against diverse, underprivileged communities. And it's also a fuckin banger of a film. vaughnjoy.substack.com/p/this-blues...

positive · AI labelView post →Today's vinyl is my very scratched forty-year-old copy of the Blues Brothers soundtrack. Better film than it is an album (and people have valid criticisms of both) but it introduced me to the music of Aretha Franklin, Ray Charles, and James Brown as a small child, so I'm grateful to it.
