A beautifully shot movie, and perfectly calibrated to Roger Moore's strengths (such as they are). The only one of his films I'd rank among the best of the series.

Basil Rathbone with his wife Ouida. He tried to teach her to play golf, but after some initial failed attempts she declared it a "stupid game" and threw his putter into a water hazard.

Currently watching. It's far from the shitshow of legend, but it's not doing John Gilbert any favors either.

Shocked.
As many expected, the truth is finally coming out, they were just fishermen. The family of the Colombian man killed in the Sept. 15 U.S. military strike in the Caribbean Sea has now filed a formal complaint with the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights, alleging

I'm not going to pretend these are bad films (I don't even mind the Woody film) but this doesn't exactly scream "voracious cinephile with a near-encyclopedic knowledge of genre and world cinema" so much as "dad who watches a lot of TNT."

All due respect to Sen. Kelly, but THIS is what's wrong with Democratic Party messaging... it always ends in a poll-tested, neutered whimper.
Don't say "using the opportunity to divide us," say "he is talking like a bloodthirsty dictator!"
He wants you KILLED, man! Grow a pair, or keep losing.

Sen. Kelly: “The president of the United States said that two US Senators and four members of the House of Representatives should be arrested, hanged, executed for something we said, for something that is true…He uses every single opportunity to divide us.”

Day 30. Best film noir ending.
In the proto-Noir I AM A FUGITIVE FROM A CHAIN GANG, Paul Muni is a veteran who can't escape a brutal, inhumane system (sound familiar?). His final line as he fades into the dark is an unforgettable moment, one of the greatest film endings ever.

Day 29: Best RKO Noir.
BORN TO KILL. Some nicely dressed people speaking calmly to each other... but just under the surface, it's the sickest, most depraved thing imaginable. This movie doesn't get the love and attention it deserves for being one of the craziest of all Noirs.

In my youth I really loved the "Mouse" books, and the two movies made from them were... not bad at all.
I'm spending a serious amount of time on hold to various organisations so to keep myself occupied I have returned to British Comedies of the 1960s - I give you the MOUSE ON THE MOON. I think that Nick Park may have been consciously or unconsciously paying homage to this film.

DOUBLE INDEMNITY. This movie is like an old wooden rollercoaster—so expertly constructed that each twist and turn gives you the same little shudder of delight every time. It's straight down the line, baby.
