Was I the only one who at the end of Framed (in Criterion’s Blackout Noir series) shouted “Give the money to Edgar Buchanan!”?

Watched Witchhammer (1970) for Halloween, which was probably a mistake. It was genuinely terrifying to see how institutional power can be weaponized against everyone from the marginalized to the smug bourgeoisie. Thank god we live in totally different times, right?

If you and your children are not ready for a particular book, that is okay. It is not okay to limit the access to books, stories, and experiences for other families. Every book is not for everyone, but every book is for someone.

A gaggle of costumed trick-or-treaters; anyone who lived through that era remembers these costumes with their stiff masks (held on by an impossibly thin rubber band that always broke) and cheap plastic overgarments #Halloween

And your mom made you wear a sweater over your costume, scarring you for life.

Happy Birthday to Roy Lichtenstein

Oh, he definitely had a sense of humor! Some of my favorite photos of Lichtenstein are these from around 1965, when he & Dorothy Herzka (who would later become Dorothy Lichtenstein) went to a Halloween costume party dressed as Andy Warhol & Edie Sedgwick
