MY NIGHT AT MAUD'S is one of the great Christmas movies & the best film ever made about winning Pascal's wager. The last scene is a personal all-time favorite for me.

Nothing says "Yuletide in Brussels" like a festive municipal space featuring Christmas trees decorated with beer cans 🎄🍻

Ya gotta love the Belgians. Even when it's cold & rainy, if they've planned a party in the street (as today, for the Feast of St. Nicholas), a whole lot of folks are going to show up to party.

I live in Spain & last week took a high-speed train, Madrid to Oviedo and back, for 64 euros. It was a comfy 3-hr trip (half the time than by auto & a lot less than by plane when you include the whole airport thing); we had a craft beer in the cafe car & watched a movie (with earbuds, of course).

For #Noirvember I rewatched STRANGERS ON A TRAIN... on a train (with headphones, of course)

Last day of #Noirvember...

29. Favorite RKO noir
THE SPIRAL STAIRCASE. Director Siodmak & cinematographer Musuraca craft the ultimate single-setting stormy-night thriller occurring almost in real time. Dorothy McGuire stands out in a cast of RKO stalwarts (Brent! Kent Smith!) as the Final Girl
