My #ClassicHollywood watch last weekend was TWO O'CLOCK COURAGE (1945) and I really enjoyed it! It was quick and engaging, with great direction by Anthony Mann. I liked the mix of light mystery, comedy, and romance. I actually wanted it to be longer!

More thoughts on FUNNY STORY:

-Daphne becoming friends with Ashleigh is a relatable and accurate depiction of an introvert over 30 trying to make friends.
-Daphne and Miles' first kiss is HOT and their first make out session later is EVEN HOTTER.

Got to the first AVENGERS film in my #Marvel rewatch, and this 👇 is one of Tony's worst moments. It's mean & also backwards: the serum worked on Steve because of all the special (not perfect but special) things he already was, something Tony's arrogance could never understand.

Chris Murphy: "Republicans are boycotting negotiations to reopen the govt bc they're desperate to raise premiums on people by 75% in order to finance their tax cut for the wealthy. The other reason House isn't in town? They're about to have enough votes to mandate the release of the Epstein files."

I reviewed #MaintenanceRequired for @fangirlish.bsky.social and it has a lot of rom-com history behind it. Overall, it's worth watching. Hope you all can read it!

Hey y'all. I'm reminding you again that this weekend is a great time to watch the magnificent 1995 adaptation of PRIDE AND PREJUDICE. No matter what life takes out of you (like Darcy here 👇), this version of this story can make you feel better. 💗 #JaneAusten

For this #FashionFriday, I want to say how much I love that the amazing TV series #Timeless paid homage to this dress Katherine Hepburn wore in THE PHILADELPHIA STORY in its season 2 episode, "Hollywoodland." (It's the BEST episode until the last 2 minutes.)

1963's THE PINK PANTHER was my #ClassicHollywood viewing last weekend. It was quite funny, though A SHOT IN THE DARK is funnier. Sellers is the perfect Clouseau. The rest of the cast was impressive, too: David Niven, Robert Wagner, Claudia Cardinale. A good time.

Greene on the Epstein files: "I can't conclusively say that's why the House isn't in session, but the House should be in session...there is a new Democrat that's been elected that deserves to be sworn in...if it's to avoid the discharge petition, why drag this out? It's going to have 218 signatures"

I will not back down.

Trump is now calling for the arrest of elected representatives checking his power.

What else is left on the path to full-blown authoritarianism?
