An early happy #Halloween wish to friends! This picture is from my recent Vintage Girl Studios #horror-themed, #pinup photoshoot. Definitely a twist on the Hollywood starlet's Hollywood publicity still. Looks like we added a little SERIAL MOM (1994)! #SpookySeason2025 #FilmSky

American artist and poet John Giorno (1936-2019) introduced the service in 1969, inviting callers to dial a phone number and hear recorded readings of poems.

The renewed version combines early recordings w/ new contributions.

Ep 24 out now! Producer-director Jacqueline Shulman talks of her career, from her TV work to attending the Oscars luncheon for her participation in 2006’s documentary feature Jesus Camp. Part 1 of a 2-parter! Just click here: linktr.ee/reelsofcinem...
Every time I see someone with one front half of their shirt tucked in, I think of a YOU CAN'T DO THAT ON TELEVISION episode. It's the one where the characters randomly start a style trend of wearing pants with one long leg & one short leg. Just as silly to me! #GenX #TVSky

#Filmsky Music theorists were brought in to analyze the keystrokes of the actors in Amadeus and found them perfect in notes and even the touch. Details like this turn a film from classic to masterpiece.

#BMovieManiacs Event: Hey Maniacs! In case you're wondering, don't worry, this is a different movie called Hot Rod. From 29 years earlier. It's the story of two brothers, one a respectable policeman, and the other a danged hot rodder! And their dad's a judge! 8 Pac/11 East tonite!

Art Deco found its way into film early on, as art directors and costume designers mobilized its streamlined elegance to evoke both the optimism and anxiety of the day. Join us & Art Deco Society of L.A.:

8/22: Monkey Business (1931) + The Black Cat (1934)
8/23: L’inhumaine (1924)

Of all the #Hitchcock cameos LIFEBOAT is the trickiest. He even gets his name in. Happy bday, Hitch! #TCMparty
Thank you! Vintage Girl Studios took the shot. Krzystyna's got an eye for the moment & is great at directing poses. I took this about four months before I turned fifty. A bucket list item I'd like to do again!
That's a great compliment! Thank you!
