I think often of a New York Times photo of a little Iraqi girl tending to her parakeets in a bombed house, probably from 20 years ago now. I will think of this man and his sweet dog often now too. People just want to love what they love, care for their little beings, and instead we do this to them

“A whole civilization will die tonight” is the most vile thing a US president has ever said, certainly during the post-1945 era when they’ve had the power to kill civilizations with the dropping of a bomb. I’m staring into the darkness. May this not be one of the most fateful days in human history.

Sinister Visages: Paintings in Roger Corman’s Edgar Allan Poe Films I have long wanted an ancestral portrait painted in a German Expressionist style hanging in my entry when I greet weary travelers seeking shelter from a ferocious storm. They would evince surprise …

It's such a fun movie! The Easter elements are kind of subtle. TBH I didn't notice the first few times I watched it.

Humphrey Bogart, lookin noir as hell, peers anxiously into a store windowfront decorated with Easter lilies and the image of a lady in a bonnet.

DEAD RECKONING actually opens on Easter morning and much of the plot is narrated by Bogie to a paratrooper priest (!) in a church. It's a hoot when his voice-over reminds us of this from time to time, like, "well, you see, Father..."

Humphrey Bogart in his pajamas says "You're a day early for Easter bunnies" to the detective in a suit. They're sitting on twin beds in a hotel room in a black-and-white film frame grab.

Reminder that DEAD RECKONING (1947) is perfect viewing for the day before Easter. Or any day, really.

Grenades, night-blooming jasmine, and sledgehammer highballs! A noir that I seem to enjoy more with every rewatch.

A shot of a newspaper from a black and white film. The headline reads: POLICE BAFFLED - PUBLIC AROUSED

This fake headline from ONE MYSTERIOUS NIGHT (1944) made me giggle for a good 5 minutes today so I thought I'd pass it on.

An actual for real baby angel I met at the shelter today. Her name is Munchie and she is very, very, very sweet. ❤️ Available in northwestern Vermont! www.hsccvt.org/Cats#sl_embe...

I've long wondered if de la Tour's painting was an inspiration for this unforgettable shot of Lulu gazing into a flame in PANDORA'S BOX (1929).

Quote tweeted tweet New tweet: “Friends of Bear Cat Rescue @feeder... •2h We are now forced to close intake and not help anymore cats until we find homes for the adoptable cats in our care. We literally have no more space and I'm having to say no to cats who will die without us. all these kittens are still here. Please share. SF Bay Area” Quoting older tweet: “Friends of Bear Cat Rescue • 3/1/26 SF BAY AREA it makes me very sad that we still have 8 perfect, healthy big kittens growing up mostly in an enclosure here at the rescue. They should be cuddling on someone's lap, zooming around, being happy babies. Soon they'll be a year old and still sitting here, waiting” [pictures of adorable kittens]

🚨 SF area! (And anyone who can share). @friendsofbear.bsky.social (feederofcats) over on Twitter needs your help!
Adopt! Spread the word!

Thank you both for a homicidal good time! May the Cat of Fate smile upon you!

Big missed opportunity to have Dennis Price in your movie about people getting bumped off one by one and not have Price doing it! #driveinmob

Cyanide milk cures COVID. That's I was told when I did my own research!!!

This sparkly number is unironically a bitchin' sweater that I would pounce upon if I saw it at a thrift store fr #driveinmob

He's sitting down watching now, so I will share any further pearls of wisdom on his behalf!

Meanwhile in a Fellini movie... #driveinmob

Isn't there somebody you forgot to ask? (That painting on the wall.) #driveinmob

My dad in the other room just noted, "The music sounds like it's gonna segue into a Bond theme."

He even did a Shirley Bassey imitation with a falsetto, "And then there were NOOOO-OOOONNNNEEE!!!"

Thought I'd share. #driveinmob

Okay, I'm a scene behind but I had to screencap whatever Dr. Seussical pingpong ball vest creation Daliah Lavi is wearing here. #driveinmob

Leo Genn appreciation tweet. Silly movie but he makes this scene kinda moving IMO. #driveinmob
