Is it the polarized process? Grey glasses? Watching it just now it looks restored in a pristine great looking print. Really good cinematography.

But I gotta admire Noth for reposting this. That's a man! 👍😂

The gill man creature reaching out for a pretty lady who is screaming.

I'm watching the 1954 movie Creature from the Black Lagoon on a streaming channel. I wish I'd seen it as released initially in the polarized 3D process. Instead, in 1980 I saw it in the cheaper two-color anaglyph process which wasn't effective and hurt my eyes. So now, bucket list: see it polarized.

I guess I'm old because publicly talking about things like this shocks me. 😮😱

Not at all surprised that at the end of "Dorothea" on Tubi, the next film that auto-queued up was "Whatever Happened to Baby Jane." Someone who plans these things who works at Tubi "gets it." 🤣👍

2025 movie "Dorothea" about Sacramento serial killer Dorothea Puente is like a 21st century 1960s Bette Davis grande guignol campy horror flick. Murder and a wry humor. If you understand this is what you'll see then you'll likely enjoy the ride. Imagine John Waters directing "Baby Jane." 😂😵 #filmsky

Entertainers Carol Burnett and Cher. Both dressed in stylish dresses, in a photo of them from the waist up.

I just watched a 1975 episode of the Carol Burnett Show with her guest Cher. The chemistry between the two is powerful. As if totally comfortable with each other. Friends, with lots of trust. And of course both wearing fabulous Bob Mackie gowns!

Editor to the rescue! I fear that editing is the "invisible" art that many people don't notice. It's yet another element of film to appreciate, like directing, cinematography or music (etc).

Back in the 1960s, new wallets were sold with a sample photo inside the wallet's photo window or photo sleeves. For a time, the photo included was Richard Chamberlain. (He was HUUUGE in the 1960s because of his TV show Dr Kildare.")

Three protesters dressed as Wizard of Oz characters and holding signs: the Tin Man's sign reads "Ice has no Heart." The Cowardly Lion's sign says "GOP has no courage." And the Scarecrow's sign says "Trump has no brain."

Nailed it x3. Perfectly accurate. #NoKings

*wordS* 😁

Like pretty colorful flashing lights that capture the attention of a baby, or a toy mouse on a string for a cat, key trigger word here: "socialist" and "communist." 😂

Sorry, I did alt-text but it didn't seem to apply. Side-view of an early 1900s car backed up to a house, with Buster in the driver's seat. Then the car chassis slowly pulls forward out from under the seat, still holding Buster, and still attached to the house.

In the #BusterKeaton 20 minute film "One Week" I literally laughed out loud at this hilariously timed gag. Buster is moving his house but it's stuck on railroad tracks and a train is coming. So he nails the back seat of his car to the house to pull it off the tracks. Then this happens. 🤣 #filmsky

One of the great TV performances. Up there with Agnes Moorehead fighting aliens on The Twilight Zone. At about the same time in her career, Jo Van Fleet won the Tony and Oscar.

Actress Jo Van Fleet is over the top brilliant in the Alfred Hitchcock Presents episode "Shopping for Death" (written by Ray Bradbury). She plays a snarly mean neighborhood woman who shouts nonstop abuses at everyone and has a later touching monologue when she reflects on her life.

I keep pushing the date later. Now I'm thinking June 2027. But that's pretty much my hard out. If not sooner.

...but I lived in Boston where (and when!) it was filmed so I'm continuing to watch.

I'm watching the 1999 movie The Boondock Saints. The script, overwritten into almost parody of tough guy language, and actors over-directed into overacted performances that make the overwritten script even worse, make the experience painful.

To be honest, it wasn't so bad. Some of the editing, directing and effects helped and didn't look terribly awful. Interesting that they gave different takes on scenes from Hitchcock's The Birds like a gas explosion (actually decent effects & directing) and a vague sort of non-ending.

I'm watching "Birds II: Land's End." The opening credits had a warning about its quality because it said Directed by Alan Smithee, which is the name directors will attach to a film that came out so bad they want to disavow involvement. But I've seen worse TBH, and star Brad Johnson is a snack.

In a parody of a paper towel advertisement, an illustration of Donald Trump with a forest of trees far behind him, and in front of him the words: "Donny. The Quicker Fucker Upper." (The paper towel ad being parodied, not shown here, says, "Bounty. The Quicker Picker Upper.")

Telemann was more famous than JS Bach in their day (I heard).

I thought that was a caricature of actor Crispin Glover.

Why do so many brothers become film directors? Quay, Coen, Wachowski (brothers when they began), Russo, Safdie, Hughes, Farrelly, etc. Has anyone explored this in an article, like interviewing brothers to learn their motivations to collaborate, their efficiencies, etc? #filmsky #cinema 🎬

I looove Claire Trevor!

😂😂🤣 Only one I'm thinking of is still alive. The younger Boston bomber (two brothers), who I'd wanna dominate and make my b*tch. Cute and I'd love to top that f*cker!

Exactly. Which is why I hate that I find him handsome. 😂 But unusually, I'm often attracted to heinous men. Like some terrorists or serial killers here in the US. (I was gonna post pix but eff them.)
