I'm not here for politics but for movies, art & humor. If those are the focus of your acct I'll probably follow. I'll likely also post about the mindf*ck of getting older.

His childish narcissism - glorification of himself in simplistic terms - is unbounded and out of control. And laughable.

There's a cartoon series called Frankenhole, a parody of the Frankenstein film universe, that has a caricature of Thesiger from "Bride." Hilarious. He's all high class airs and snarky retorts.

Shout out to Michelle Williams in this. She so effectively played a staid housewife while emotions churned inside over the truth she knew about her husband. THE performance of this movie IMO (Oscar nominated).

I had the soundtrack LP as a boy in the 1960s. I played the heck out of it and sang along. ❤️

"My name is Femm!" 🤣 The queer-ish actor Ernest Thesiger's entrance. (He similarly plays proto-queer in James Whale's "The Bride of Frankenstein.") Brilliant. This film is pure delight; classic that set the standard for movies of folks seeking shelter in an old gothic house. "Rocky Horror" anyone?

Oops: I forgot to add alt text to the third image of Thesiger above: that's Thesiger as Horace Femm in the 1932 movie "The Old Dark House."

Ernest Thesiger is most famously known as Doctor Septimus Pretorius in James Whale's film Bride of Frankenstein (1935) and as Horace Femm in Whale's "The Old Dark House" (1932), in both his demeanor questionably queer.

Ivan Dixon seems underrated as an actor and director. His name isn't usually included in discussions of Sidney Poitier, Gordon Parks and Melvin Van Peebles, among others. At least I don't see it.

"Mountain Onion" is apparently on Fandango but I watched it on Kanopy where it requires zero "tickets" to watch: extra free on this limited watching (20 "tickets" a month) free platform accessible with your local library card.

You couldn't pay ME $228 to endure the frustrations of the lousy and buggy OS on Vizio TVs.
