I had a great Silent Movie Day. Watched two exceptional films, The Last Command (1928) and Asphalt (1929). I had forgotten how great Asphalt is.

Tonight’s feature film was Major League (1989), one of the greatest baseball movies. I figured that Lynch was getting plenty of love tonight so we honored Bob Eucker. RIP.

My wife and I recently made our way through this boxset of 4 French films made during the occupation by Claude Autant-Lara whom I hadn’t heard of. The films are sweet and marvelously directed and acted. Douce (1943) was the sumptuous standout full of gorgeous photography and melodrama. Superb. #film

I've become interested in Japanese historical ghost story films lately and picked up this @filmsradiance.bsky.social gothic box set. All three films were excellent, atmospheric and creepy. I thought The Snow Woman (1968) was particularly good. Another fantastic Radiance Films boxet #filmsky #movies

I'm currently digging Ultimate Spider-Man, Uncanny X-Men, Conan, Space Ghost, and Wonder Woman for monthly books. I also really like Spectregraph and the Big Burn from DSTLRY, and Jenny Sparks for limited series.

The Big Burn #OnTheNightstand tonight. @dstlry.bsky.social is knocking it out of the park with this one. The premise of criminals who have sold their souls to the Devil trying to break into hell to steal them back in the ultimate heist is genius. Can’t wait for the finale. #comics

#Noirvember Film 13 Born to be Bad (1950): Joan Fontaine is a manipulative small town young woman who will do whatever it takes to get ahead. She sets her sights on a sophisticated millionaire and the sparks fly. Bohemian writer (Robert Ryan) is another sap. Good film directed by Nicolas Ray.

#Noirvember Film 11 A Woman's Vengeance (1948) Philandering Charles Boyer is suspected of poisoning his invalid wife in order to marry a much younger woman (Ann Blythe). The evidence is damning but did he do it? Some great psychological imagery, including a heavy thunderstorm scene. Huxley adaption.

#Noirvember Film 9: Ride the Pink Horse (1947). Tough guy (Robert Montgomery) heads to Mexico to avenge the death of his friend. He initially looks down on all the locals but ultimately has a change of heart after receiving multiple acts of kindness. Thomas Gomez is fun as the loyal local drunk.
