Four dogs in the distance
Each stands for a silence, yeah
Bluebirds lodged in an evergreen altar

I'm gonna shine out in the wild kindness
I'm gonna shine out in the wild kindness
I'm gonna shine out in the wild kindness
And hold the world to its word

"Even if Coppola didn’t understand Keaton’s importance to the series, Keaton did. She requested $3m for The Godfather, Part III, the amount that Robert Duvall asked for and walked when he didn’t get it. She settled for $1.7m, 48 times her salary for Godfather I." www.vulture.com/article/the-...

The Unfading Beauty of Diane Keaton

For over five decades, cinema bent itself around her profoundly original image. It had no choice.

Joe Banner and Mike Lombardi's tenure was a disaster, and that's the best I can about it.

We need a remake of There Will Be Blood w/ the cat playing Daniel Day Lewis' part

Tammi, yeah, that one. 2.1 @tammi.bsky.social · 9h

I found a 19th century Cat Villain!

A huge chonk of a fluffy cat sitting on a table near an open fire. The cat is cream and grey and appears to be shaped like a barrel in a fur coat. They are scowling fiercely with their moustache and bewhiskered ears apparently flowing back into the cold wind. There's a definite vibe that this villainous cat twirls their moustache as they evict orphans into the aforementioned blizzard and think Scrooge was an easy-going lightweight. They are magnificent.

Canada has had many great teams in its history, in many different sports.
Among all those hockey, baseball, soccer and football championships, one team may stand above them all.
It was the most dominant team in our history.
This is the story of The Edmonton Grads.

🧵 1/12

A black-and-white photograph of a women's basketball team from 1923, standing in a line. They are wearing matching uniforms with dark skirts, light-colored tops with dark lettering, and knee-high stockings with stripes. One player on the left is holding a basketball, and a trophy is placed on the floor in front of the team. The background features a draped curtain. The year "1923" is visible at the bottom of the image.

Was the left wrong to leave X for BlueSky?
