60+ Learning to be old 🤯

I'm not here for politics but for movies, art & humor. If those are the focus of your acct I'll probably follow. I'll likely also post about the mindf*ck of getting older.

This is the mood I come to social media to find. Not politics and what's wrong with the world. So if I don't follow back, it's bc I see a lot of politics on your acct.

Clearly, @trendingworld.bsky.social is NOT an account I want to follow. It posts nothing but topics I want to avoid.

Not even AI recently, but she expresses exactly what I've HATED about any Microsoft product for decades: its constant insistence to "help" by making "corrections," suggestions or formatting automatically. THEY'RE ALWAYS WRONG AND NOT WHAT I WANT. MS products WASTE my time instead of saving my time.

On the episode of All In the Family with Sammy Davis Jr, he kissing Archie Bunker at the end is the celebrated moment. But I think the greater moment, for its wit and implication, is when Archie introduces "My daughter Gloria and her husband Mike." Then Sammy shakes Lionel's hand. "Hello, Mike."

🤣🤣👍 Little gestures like this throughout film history define my character. I've adopted countless of them into my own theatrical personality.

"But I now have $5000 back in my account."
I’m going to just go home rather than sit here pissed off.

It's an exceptionally vile son of a bitch who would try every possible channel, including the Supreme Court, to willfully and deliberately deny 42 million people food aid and drive them to hunger. Children. Seniors. Disabled. I hope those who voted for him are now suffering.

Getting a medical procedure in the USA is like: going to a restaurant and ordering the $12 burger. You're told that's about what it will cost (if you're even that lucky). You eat the $12 burger then the bill comes and it's $4000. [Next...]

Having recently watched the first episode of Columbo starring Peter Falk, I remembered how much I enjoyed watching the series when it originally aired when I was a pre-teen/teen in the 1970s. There's something so irresistible and perfect about the show that I'm now bingeing the series on Peacock. ❤️

I just watched the very first episode of "Columbo," S1E1 (1971) directed by 24 year old Steven Spielberg. Apparently Peter Falk was initially hesitant about such a young director but kept an open mind and was won over by the kid's talent.

I just now watched the final two episodes of #PokerFace season 2. Terrific, of course. Perhaps not *great*, but still quality and makes me want season 3. Hopefully it'll be produced. 🤞

#Photography offers the chance to shoot and view complexity in both color or #b&w: in b&w, complexity of geometry; in color, contrast of complementary hues and boldness of intensity. (But also notice geometric complexity in color scenes!) Images taken in #California (2), #Boston and #Switzerland.

I can't help think the main reason the "Ocean's" (Eleven, Twelve, Thirteen and apparently Fourteen) movies exist is because probably Clooney said to his friends, "Let's hang out and party and laugh and make a few million each and be pampered on the set. What the heck, let's take advantage!"

1897 film by Edison of the Lurline Baths (1894-1936) near downtown San Francisco that was filled with seawater piped from the ocean about 4 miles away. Initially pumped part way, then gravity sent it the rest of the way.

Based on the effective directing of the movie "Match," I just watched an earlier movie, Level 16, written and directed by the same lady @desterhazy.bsky.social. Terrific! Less gore and more horror-thriller. I really liked lead actress Katie Douglas.

OMFG Tubi knocked it outta the park w their new horror film #Match. This Tubi original could easily have been released in the cine. SICK-ass horror film, well acted, shot, directed, edited. Mind you, "knocked it outta the park" for what it is. Fans of horror should love it.

This is from "Out of the Dark" (1989). Because Divine is in it, I decided to watch. But I was surprised to see an even more fave actor in it: Bud Cort! (Harold of my fave movie Harold and Maude.) Plus Karen Black, Geoffrey Lewis & more. Average slasher mystery that suitably sets up various suspects.

I always endorse that the Barney Miller series is an ideal example of how to play comedy. No actor mugs or tries to "be funny" but rather everyone plays everything straight, seriously, and lets the script be funny.

What's wrong w young voiceover actors? I hope what I hear sometimes is because they're using AI voices. Like putting the wrong emphasis on certain syllables or words: like "in-LAWS" instead of the accepted "IN-laws." I have also heard the nickname for Frank Sinatra "ol' blue eyes" as "ol blue EYES."
