Title card for “Z Channel: A Magnificent Obsession” about the great cable channel from back in the day.
On the Tubi now. Must watch.
Z Channel. Never pandered to the “lowest common denominator” but rather actively catered to the “uncommon denominator.”
Culture should help people to climb in sophistication by treating audiences with respect, not sink into tripe.

Title card for “The David Susskind Archives: Howard Hughes - The Watergate Connection”
Holy shit, even if you’re a solid student of history, it’s unlikely you’d have heard about the connection between Howard Hughes & Nixon, regarding a long history of quid pro quo payments in exchange for regulatory breaks, & ultimately to the Watergate break-in. On Tubi now.

Bloody great film. Sally Hawkins is an absolute 💎GEM💎. Her interactions with Kari Matchett are delightful, and Ethan Hawke is suitably grumpy.

Meg in “Joe Versus The Volcano” waxing rhapsodic.
Patricia Graynamor / Meg Ryan:
“My father says that almost the whole world is asleep. Everybody you know. Everybody you see. Everybody you talk to. He says that only a few people are awake, and they live in a state of constant total amazement.”

Angelica Graynamor’s painting, and the real place she painted, overlooking Los Angeles
Or as flibbertigibbet Angelica Graynamor (Meg Ryan) famously says in “Joe Versus The Volcano”:
“You have to understand something about ART. It COMES from somePLACE.”

Scenes from the movie, and an original poster from Warner Brothers.
Both Meville and Steinbeck referenced this tragedy in the Levant within their writing — Melville in his poem “Clarel,” and Steinbeck in “East of Eden,” which of course was later made into a movie starring #JamesDean in his breakout role.

Modernist Building – half glass, half concrete face
I feel this building should talk to the people who work in it, in the same way that the freeway sign talks to Steve Martin in “L.A. Story.”

Well my, but this looks good.

The Paper Chase DVD cover
I wish they’d put either “The Paper Chase” movie from the 70’s, or the tv series from the 80’s, on streaming.
Everyone deserves to experience John Houseman’s exquisite pomposity at least once in their life.

Not just stick a camera in front of two goobers & their laptops so they can ramble on about whatever shit pops in their head.

And this is who David is portraying in that new piece – the legendary Nureyev.
This is a wonderful documentary about him, and his struggles to free himself from Russian state control.

Movie poster featuring Al Pacino and Russell Crowe
I was reminded of these creeps earlier today when @georgehahn.com mentioned the film “The Insider”, which I highly recommend watching, even though it’s infuriating.
It’s best to know the enemy we face, and what it takes to DEFEAT them once and for all.

Which is why in the HBO movie “Iron Jawed Angels”, Alice Paul (as played by Hilary Swank) recruited working class female campaigners to the Suffragette Movement by saying, “A vote is a fire escape.”

BTW, there’s a pretty good documentary from 2012 on the Sunset Strip on Prime now.
Check it out. Lots of historical tidbits of interest, personal accounts, past glamour, and the appropriate amount of seediness & weirdos. Recommended. 🤩
