“Chiiiiiick!!”

I was just reminded that Don Bluth and Mitt Romney shared the same common ancestor and looked it up even further and found out that Mitt’s grandmother was the older stepsister of Don’s grandfather. They share the same great-grandfather. Ooh, my aching head!

If anyone hasn’t seen Please Give (2010) before, you really should. It was her final performance in a movie and she’s quite good in it.

Not really a horror guy to the capacity of others, but Bride of Frankenstein, The Shining, Jaws and An American Werewolf in London.

Quote this with the first four Horror movies that come to your mind that are 10/10s for you. No cheating. Just the first four that pop into your head.

I'll go first:
-Silence of the Lambs
-I Saw the Devil
-Coherence
-Jaws

“Chicolini here might look like he’s horny and talk like he’s horny, but don’t let that fool you. He really is horny.”

“You know-a what boss? This guy’s wife is-a not the same person as the actress we was-a supposed to do the scene with. I think this is the wrong-a woman.”

“You know, that’s funny. That’s the same thing my father told me on my wedding day.”

(Honking sounds.)

“Well, that makes three of us.”

Megs Jenkins is a terrific British character actress though. You might best remember her as the housekeeper Mrs. Grose from The Innocents (1961).

Good list, but was hoping for Bowfinger (1999) to be on it.

And then he had a pretty darn good run later in the ‘90s with these four. Bowfinger (1999) especially being a masterpiece.

R.I.P. Diane! You will always be remembered by those whose lives you touched with love, laughter, tears, wisdom and the originality of your performances.

Plus, she was in the original Broadway cast of Hair, which is cool. At the time, she didn’t like being in the show, but it’s still a neat part of her legacy.

Then there’s her role as Kay Corleone in the first two Godfather movies (I still haven’t watched Part III.) She provides Al Pacino’s Michael with good, on-screen support and has some pivotal moments to shine in both.

“Revolting” Ryan Terry 🧛🏻‍♂️ @ludwigvondrake8.bsky.social · 8d

She was also quite good in seemingly forgettable dramedies such as Baby Boom (1987) and The Family Stone (2005), which have more depth than they show on the surface.

Awful! I go for a walk, come back, and find out Diane Keaton just passed away. What a legend! She could do it all. She gave all-timer performances in Reds (1981), Looking for Mr. Goodbar (1977), Annie Hall (1977) and Marvin’s Room (1996).

Look, I’m glad to see younger generations getting to know Elizabeth Taylor because of this album. But “the original Tay-Tay?” As the Brits used to say, Lord love a duck!

An article posted on the website of The Guardian newspaper titled “The original Tay-Tay: a Swifties’ guide to Elizabeth Taylor.” A picture of the actress sits atop the headline.

I quite enjoy Indian Summer (1993). It’s one of those nice little slices-of-life that not enough people have seen, but are well-worth checking out, if only for the atmosphere and the ensemble cast.

Several of my favourite film directors/eras of filmmaking are on here in both categories, which is both sad and hopeful in a way. It’s an enlightening exercise to find out how popular opinions around movies shift over time.

throwing this prompt from Twitter in here. what examples you got?

tweet by @Caol_MacCormaic that reads, uncs of film twitter: what are some movies that are canonical now but were basically unknown when we were coming up? like Come and See or Possession. inversely: what are some movies or filmmakers that seem to have fallen off? (Takashi Miike comes to mind)

“Revolting” Ryan Terry 🧛🏻‍♂️ @ludwigvondrake8.bsky.social · 9d

I feel as though Barry Levinson would fit the latter which is a shame as Avalon (1990), Wag the Dog (1997) and Young Sherlock Holmes (1985) are films that more people should watch.

As for the former, maybe Joan Micklin Silver, specifically Crossing Delancey (1988), and Wayne Wang.

Of those two, Jenna. Tracy would be set to book his ticket before one of the other characters inadvertently snapped him out of it. Jenna would then take the opportunity to replace him.

Of all the characters, Josh.

If there are any insect/arachnid experts on here, can you please tell me what kind of spider this is so I don’t have an 9-hour bout of sleep deprivation?

I also need to know: I am fairly middle-of-the-road on Taylor Swift but someone I know called her the Greatest Living Lyricist. She is not.

Who is yours? Either the greatest or your favorite?

I’ll see your Patti LuPone and raise you Danny Kaye as Captain Hook.
