I remember seeing "Cat's Eye" in the theatre in 1985 and a bunch of guys in the audience were cheering when James Woods's wife is tortured in the electrified cat box: placelogohere.com/movie-cats-e... I hope we're not returning to such days.

I proposed to my wife at an IHOP, though I wish it had been the kind of old which had that kitsch Swiss chalet look, the kind as seen in 1981's "Honky Tonk Freeway":

Issa Rae has canceled her sold out performance at the Kennedy Center. Pulitzer Prize winner Rhiannon Giddens, Peter Wolf, Low Cut Connie, and the Gay Men’s Chorus of Washington, D.C., have also canceled. Lin-Manuel Miranda has canceled the entire Kennedy Center run of Hamilton.

Any day can be made better with an Alastair Sim movie, even if 1947's "Hue and Cry" only has him in two brief scenes likely filmed in a single day: placelogohere.com/movie-hue-an...

Two boys get to meet their hero, an anonymous author of boys adventure stories, played by Alastair Sim. He will be shocked to discover some changes were made to his work before publication, including the introduction of a split infinitive.

My wife had the best summary of 1982's remake of "Cat People": “That was one dog of a cat movie." Other digs at it can be found here:

Nastassja Kinski hangs out with her peers at the zoo in 1982's "Cat People". She will eventually end up leaping high into a tree on the zoo grounds. Unfortunately, we do not see a Fire department ladder truck employed in rescuing her from there.

Looking for more films in the vein of "Psycho"? You could do worse than 1964 Hammer production "Nightmare": placelogohere.com/movie-nightm...

Why hasn't an opera been made of The Marx Brothers "A Night at the Opera"? I'm completely serious. It would be interesting to see the climactic opera staged within an opera. Maybe the score could even reference "Bohemian Rhapsody" from the same-named Queen album. #filmsky #marxbrothers #queen #opera

There’s a reason you don’t see people in lab coats at CERN doing “zodiacal” research, as seen in 1975’s "The Astrologer".  It is why there are prohibitively expensive facilities devoted to radio astronomy while radio astrology isn’t even a thing. placelogohere.com/movie-the-as...

Pseudo-science and blatantly not-science abound 1975's "The Astrologer". I wonder when Trump will establish a Secretary of Astrology (to then be followed by Secretary of Angels and Secretary of Biorhythms).

1944's "Curse of the Cat People" is the sequel to the original "Cat People", but which is a surprisingly muted affair. It is drama instead of horror, and it is a Christmas movie, of all things. Thoughts: placelogohere.com/movie-curse-...

A letter: I am an 8 yr old girl. My friends say 1985’s "Santa Claus: The Movie" isn’t a cynical piece of shit and a desperate cash grab, but is something they fondly remember from their own childhood. Is that true? Regards, Virginia.

Santa and Mrs. Claus are resurrected after freezing to death, only to discover they have been gifted a house from the brain of Thomas Kinkade and forced labor in the form of elves. In this photo, it is obvious Mrs. Claus has yet to adjust to a recent change in her medications.

1955's "We're No Angels" somehow manages to be the worst and most unusual Christmas movie I have seen from a major studio in the mid-century era. It was remade once, but I propose they do it again and call it "A Funny Games Christmas": placelogohere.com/movie-were-n...
#filmsky
In the titles for 1955's "We're No Angels", Humphrey Bogart, Aldo Ray and Peter Ustinov are portrayed as cherubs. I don't get it, either.

I always forget "Bell, Book and Candle" is a Christmas movie. Some may think Kim Novak is the lead, but the true star is the cat, Pyewacket (actually one of a number of feline actors in the role). Thoughts: placelogohere.com/movie-bell-b...

It’s the “season of love and giving”…but this year, doesn’t it seem more like a “season of fear and taking”? Like many of you, I’ve been saddened by the human impact of draconian government budget cuts and how angry many housed Americans are at unhoused Americans.
