Handcuffs, dog bites and avian warfare: how personal grudges sullied Alfred Hitchcock’s reputation The director liked to create tension on-set to draw out stronger performances. But have stories about his psychological tricks been inflated in the retelling?

Poster for The Others 2001

Watched The Others (2001) for the first time. I’d been long spoiled on the ending, but it didn’t affect my enjoyment. Creepy and great Kidman performance. I can’t imagine how wild that ending must have been if you went into the theatre cold back in 2001 📽️ #horrorsky

Horror films like to mix in dark humor, gore & surrealism, but how about pathos? There’s pathos to spare in The Bride Of Frankenstein (out today, 1935) as Boris Karloff’s monster searches for love and acceptance - a stand-in for gay director James Whale in a homophobic era? A horror classic

A cardboard standee of a nurse and a treatment station in 1935.

An Emergency First Aid Booth for "nervous patrons” of James Whale's BRIDE OF FRANKENSTEIN, which premiered #OTD in 1935.

Movies need this kind of showmanship again. #FilmSky

I’m now pretty convinced this is a Wood Sandpiper, backed up by comments made here and on other forums where I’ve posted these pictures. Seen over Thornham harbour last night #UKBirding #norfolkbirding #birds

A small greenish bird is nectaring on a large pink flower. This is a Ruby-throated Hummingbird, a medium to long-distance migrant that spends winter in Central America. They usually arrive in the Adirondack Mountains of upstate New York in May.

A juvenile Black-eared Kite Gigrin Farm, Powys - ©Graham Catley, many thanks. 2010 (1) A juvenile was seen over the salt marsh at Severn Beach around 09:55 on March 18th. It was watched by two lucky observers and was seen to leave the salt marsh being mobbed by corvids and Common Buzzard drifting east over Severn Beach station and Orchard Pools. It is believed to have been the relocating individual from Gigrin Farm, Powys where it had been wintering from October 26th 2009 until at least March 14th 2010.

The image shows five yellow and grayish birds perched on a feeding station in winter. These are Evening Grosbeaks. Evening Grosbeaks breed in the Adirondack Mountains of upstate New York, but we are most apt to see them in winter at our birdfeeders.

Color rings provide key data on #Montagusharriers beyond transmitters, like tracking dispersal, survival, and site fidelity, all critical for conservation. 🦅

📷If you spot or photograph one, check for rings and report to LIFE SOS Pygargus. Avoid disturbance during nesting.

My ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️1/2 review of BIRDMAN OF ALCATRAZ boxd.it/e2OuPN

Redemption biopic with dignity & quiet power, never relying on emotional manipulation or overt sentimentality.

Burt Lancaster is subtle & effective, aging thru decades, finding purpose & rehabilitation in very incredible journey.

I just love a Criterion Collection DVD with a commentary track. My copy of Trouble in Paradise just arrived, and there’s a great commentary by Scott Eyman. These commentaries really deepen my appreciation for the film. Added bonus: a lovely essay by @selfstyledsiren.bsky.social.

Sybil Seely, Buster Keaton and their house in a box in ONE WEEK (1920).

Great turnout for the Buster Keaton double feature at @bambrooklyn.bsky.social today.

Few things make me feel better than hearing kids laugh at century-old silent comedies.

And no Keaton film delivers more predictable response from young audiences than ONE WEEK (1920). #FilmSky #SilentFilm

Joel McCrea at a portable ticket booth for King Kong. McCrea had been strongly considered for the role of Jack Driscoll in the film, but was instead cast in The Most Dangerous Game opposite Fay Wray and utilizing many of the same sets as King Kong.
