I cannot wait to pick up my copy.

Fifty years ago today David Bowie played a show at Nassau Coliseum. It is a pretty dang good show.

Katherine Ryan

Lobby Card for Bullitt (1968) featuring Jacqueline Bisset

Hedy Lamarr

Mary Tamm

Walton Goggins in Justified.

I don't love this war movie as much as others, but it sure looks great in 4K

John Woo's comedy isn't really my thing, but that final action scene is one for the books.

Seated for Bill Frisell playing Bob Dylan tunes in a tiny little theatre. Great start for my 50th birthday festivities.

The best.

Joan Blondell

Peter Davison and Nicola Bryant spoofying James Bond during their time on Doctor Who.

Film #100 Hidden in the Fog (1953) The last film in Criterion Channels Nordic Noir series is a Norwegian take on the classic film noir Laura. I quite liked it.

Film #99 Hamnet (2026) I wrote about this in my last Five Cool Things column. I liked it cinemasentries.com/five-cool-th...

The Friday Night Horror Movie was The Funhouse (1981) themidnightcafe.org/2026/03/20/t...

Film #98 Sherlock Holmes and the Voice of Terror (1942) Basil Rathbone and Nigel Bruce battle Nazis. My least favorite of these Holmes films I've seen.

Film #97 Doctor Who: Warriors Gate (1981) Continuing my run through the 18th Season of Classic Doctor Who. I really enjoy these E Space stories.

Film #96 The Bride! (2026) Maggie Gylenhaal's take on the Frankenstein story is a lot, and I mean a lot to take in, but I mostly loved it. themidnightcafe.org/2026/03/16/t...

Film #95 Big City Blues (1932) Country boy inherits money. Moves to New York has a wild time, gets taken advantage of and is almost convicted of murder. Then moves back home again. Not particularly interesting but worth watching for Joan Blondell and a young Bogart.

Infamous String Band, 2019

These things are always funny to me because I always watch a bunch of movies on Friday. So depending on what time of day I post this the movies can change dramatically. Anyway my #lastfourwatched range from obscure arthouse fair to ridiculous 1980s horror. #letterboxdfriday

Warrington Gillette in Friday the 13th Part 2 (1981)

Amy Winehouse at Coachella, 2007

One of the first comics I ever read was this Spider-Man story. I’ve often thought about it but could never remember enough info to let me figure out which story it was. Randomly found it in Barnes & Noble today. I couldn’t be more excited.

There is a bookshelf thing rolling around. I’ve lost the original thread but I wanted to share a few shots of some of mind. Forgive the bric-a-brac. And the dust!

Van Morrison, 1990

Don't skimp on the Nordic Noir films playing now on the Criterion Channel. All of them are good, but I especially enjoyed Hidden in the Fog, and Two Minutes Late.

Phenomena (1985)

Paganini Horror (1988) themidnightcafe.org/2024/02/16/t...

Diana Dors

Film #94 Decision at Sundown (1957) Not my favorite of the Ranown Westerns, but still a good one. Randolph Scott rolls into a sleepy little town looking for revenge and gets more than he bargained for.

Film #94 Doctor Who: State of Decay The Fourth Doctor, Romana II and Adric in E-Space where they come across a medieval colony ruled by vampires. It is just as good as that sounds.
