Just rewatched “Sneakers”, one of my all-time fave films (& fave fun caper-film, too; better than Oceans 11, IMO); Great cast (Robert Redford, Sidney Poitier, David Strathairn, Ben Kingsley, Dan Ackroyd, etc.) of quirky characters & funny, smart writing! #movies youtu.be/fyyWOM3beXI
Official Trailer SNEAKERS (1992, Robert Redford, Dan Aykroyd, River Phoenix, Mary McDonnell)

Just watched a great doc called, “John Candy: I Like Me”!😭What a sweetheart he was! Was a fan of his since his early days on SCTV long before he hit it big in the movies (along w/the whole cast: Eugene Levy, Catherine O’Hara, Martin Short, etc., before they hit big too); check out this doc & SCTV!

Rented “Good Night & Good Luck: Live on Broadway” (On Demand) & it’s VERY good & just as timely as it was (if not MORE so!😬) when the film came out in 2005! Definitely worth a watch!👏🔥“#goidnightandgoodluck #broadwayproduction #goodnightandgoodluckplay #broadway #theatre #truehistory #mccarthyism

As long as NYT is asking “Did women ruin the workplace” can they also ask:
•Did men ruin safe workplaces?
•Did men ruin domestic safety?
•Did men ruin public safety?
•Did men ruin global peace?
Or is a clear “YES” to all these questions just too difficult for fragile men to accept—so NYT avoids it?🤔

Is it me or is @tcmtv.bsky.social not showing any of the classic Univeral horror films much this Halloween season? (none of them are even on TCM’s On Demand, either!🤷🏻♀️) Is it some kind of licensing issue & they just don’t want to pay for the rights? Seems like it’s been that way the last few yrs!😕

I’m not really a big believer in Tarot card readings but I’ve collected a few decks just for their artwork, so I just picked up this Edgar Allan Poe deck at Barnes & Noble tonight since I thought it would be appropriate for Halloween decor! Cool artwork, right?😍❤️🐦⬛#Halloween
