Since it's the week of the Oscars, it feels appropriate to put the Academy on blast for Jane Fonda not winning Best Actress for #TheyShootHorsesDontThey (1969, Sydney Pollack). Her performance is PHENOMENAL. In such a darkly brilliant film (with many great performances), she shines the brightest.
"I may not know a winner when I see one, but I sure as hell can spot a loser"
I just watched the utterly brilliant #TheyShootHorsesDontThey (1969, Sydney Pollack). This heartbreaking film feels as relevant today as it did in 1969. A truly timeless filmic experience that remains a real gut punch.
Remembering Red Buttons, born February 5, 1919 and passed away July 13, 2006.

Following on from the today's latest debacle, we're quite possibly going to be without Romero, on Wednesday? 🙄
So, apart from Micky VdV, who the fcuk else is going to score? 🤷♂️

So. Is the scene of the wild horses right before someone is shot in #TheLongWalk, a clear nod to #TheyShootHorsesDontThey?

Maybe bc we watched the series #Titans "The Rise of Hollywood", I am revisiting my fascination w the 1920s & 30s. Now watching Ken Burns doc #DustBowl which is painful & sad. I didnt realize the conditions for the disaster were man made. A good double feature would be a fav #TheyShootHorsesDontThey

America, now where?
"With the exception of Nathaniel West's Miss Lonelyhearts and The Day of the Locust, McCoy's novel is indisputably the best example of absurdist existentialism in American fiction."
The novel has remained continuously in print since 1935.

Sydney Pollack’s #TheyShootHorsesDontThey earns that bleak title, especially at the end, feeling every inch of the characters despair, depression and dehumanization. Truly ahead of its time. That shook my insides. #TCMParty
@amcinematheque.bsky.social
Well, I now have a new answer for the question, "What's the most depressing movie you've ever seen?"
(Previously the title-holder was the 1973 film adaptation of #TheIcemanCometh)

Really! What's great about Eddie is that he is very likely the ONLY TCM host who would ask a guest that question. 😀
