I'm a slave to the cinema and a horror writer who often wishes life was like an old monster movie. And I voted for her.

Boris Karloff as a reporter caught checking out a woman's body in the pre-code newspaper drama Five Star Final, released in 1931 just about two months before Frankenstein.

"What was a really delightful surprise was the casting of George Zucco against type as droll but heroic policeman who is equally at ease trading funny barbs with Ball or giving villains a sock to the jaw... Why couldn't Zucco have gotten more plum roles like this one?" boxd.it/d3vjU1 #FilmSky
A ★★★★ review of Lured (1947)
Warning to Karloff fans: While Lured is a delightful mystery-thriller and Karloff is great in it, he's an early red herring only in two adjoining scenes. Granted, Karloff is featured in the most surre...

"Watering Heights"

I believe the British call that taking the piss out of it.
In a move destined to infuriate copy editors (among other accomplishments), Warner Bros. is insisting that critics use quotations marks when citing the title of Emerald Fennell’s “Wuthering Heights.” This is not a joke.

A pair of underachieving 1940s PRC cheapies starring George Zucco, a 108 year old 11 minute Mummy horror comedy, & an early 30s prison escape classic that is still unfortunately all-too-relevant today.

"George Zucco is front and center of another PRC Poverty Row cheapie, but this time in a heroic role... always being the smartest person in the room, dishing out plenty of sardonic asides and standing up for the innocent, a type that Zucco is perfect to play." boxd.it/cZOUnP

Chuck!

Democrats want you to retire!

End your career of useless compromise & bending to the whims of wealthy donors!

Take a long look in the mirror and see that you are old, out of touch, & not a wartime consigliere!

Three rules in FBI firearm training:

1. Always point your weapon downrange
2. Do not point your weapon at anything you do not intend to shoot
3. Don’t put your finger on the trigger unless you intend to shoot

Guns are not for threatening compliance for unarmed people doing things you don’t like
happening this morning in Minneapolis -- ICE agents drawing guns on observers. I reiterate again that it is only a matter of time before DHS kills more innocent people in Minnesota. Congress needs to shut this shit down right now.
