Favorite first watches of September

Barbara Stanwyck: Hello! Her co-stars/director: oh my god you’re so tiny I need to pick you up!

Just applied for a job that I’m way overqualified for but it pays more than my current job now. Can’t wait to be rejected for it cause I’m too overqualified cause I have a masters and the minimum requirement is an associates degree.

Martin Scorsese outmogging everyone in his first scene in Robert Redford's Quiz Show (1994)

Me at my job on Monday morning

Applied for two more jobs. Submitted about 10 applications for library jobs in about 3 weeks

If you’re still on a Redford kick I can’t recommend THE MILAGRO BEANFIELD WAR enough. It’s Redford’s best directing work imo, and a very timely story about choosing not to be complicit in your own demise.

Candid snapshot of Ida Lupino, ca. 1942

Just happened upon this old interview with Peter Weller, full of interesting stuff I’d never heard before. “Sounds like a fascinating guy,” I thought. Then I saw the byline. www.vulture.com/2013/05/pete...

Quiz Show Jeremiah Johnson All the Presidents Men

that endless feeling (for too long now)

Love the mileage Prince got out of singing about the amazing buttocks of his love interests.

Watched The Sting (1973) in full for the first time last night. I get it now.

"To take a position against genocide is certainly not an antisemitic thing to do," says feminist scholar Judith Butler, who faces possible investigation by the Trump administration as part of its crackdown on pro-Palestinian activism.

Got the best poster ever, but it’s so big it’s gonna take up a whole wall.

Gonna attempt to post more here. We’ll see how it goes

Ever think about how sexy Mae West was

I'm still shocked Preston Sturgess got away with character discussing trading sexual favors for money with a man dubbed "The Wienie King" in The Palm Beach Story (1942) during the peak of the Hays Code. They even say sex during a time people in films/tv couldn't say pregnant.

I have watched 3 Randolph Scott westerns and I am officially Randolph Scott pilled.

Monday. Tired and aching but surviving

These viral interview moments that completely ignore the work being promoted reminds me of this Simpsons joke with Robert Frost

Going to the movies today to see a retro screening of Lady Snowblood instead of Weapons.

I loved it so much I made a video about it. youtu.be/jRckUU2PNAA?...

Watched Deep End (1970) yesterday and was so emotionally drained by the experience I wrote an over 500 word review on it. It's a masterpiece. letterboxd.com/mbrasberry/f...

Coming over to let people know I’m still here; mostly at the other place just cause. Here’s Lauren Bacall holding two kitties!

Hey girl, would you want to spend the rest of your life with someone who plans their schedule around what TCM plays during their prime time schedule?

Happy Independence day! Me:

It's July 1st and I'm still gay.

The dress you order on Shein vs what you actually recieve

For my own curiosity I decided to check out Howard Hawks self remake of Ball of Fire, A Song is Born and for some reason Hawks did not want people to know it was a remake of that film. Also sorry Danny Kay, but you’re no Gary Cooper.

Boss makes a dollar, I make a dime. That’s why I’m watching the Sewing circle tcm lineup on company time.

Good morning

Discovered something horrific and it’s gonna keep me depressed for the rest of the day. The Mr. Deeds remake has more than 200k watches over the original. I need to go lie down.

Watched Trouble In Mind (1985)

Jean-Luc Godard was so accurate on his summation of Quentin Tarantino

Need to find myself a woman who loves cursing just as much as Bette Davis did

Finally reviewed a new film and lo and behold it's The Life of Chuck, a film I felt to be just middling. Maybe I'm too cynical for it's overwhelming optimism. letterboxd.com/mbrasberry/f...

A screwball comedy? In Connecticut?

Joel McCrea starting a bar fight with the whole restaurant cause he presumes his wife is being paid for sex work is peak overreaction. Banjo on my Knee (1936) is one of the wildest musicals of the 1930s imo

Thinking about the Joel McCrea picture of his head superimposed on a cartoon matador body in Banjo on My Knee (1936).

Boss makes a dollar, I make a dime, that’s why I watch TCM on company time.

It's Judy Garland's Birthday and it feels criminal that gays don't get a paid day off to celebrate.

Joel McCrea showing you what a real man does when his wife is sexually violated by another man. This is the sexiest thing I've ever seen McCrea do in a movie.

If Billy Wilder and Charles Brackett intended Barbara Stanwyck to have played Sugarpuss O'Shea (Brackett despised the notion cause he didn't like Stany, and intended the role for Ginger Rogers, who rejected it as "too common") this would have been an excellent call-back. Wilder adored her though.

Had a dream last night I was watching a screwball comedy starring Ruby Dee and Sidney Poitier and woke up feeling depressed that it doesn't exist.

Starting to watch Tampopo and looking at that delicious ramen after having a bland ass bagel this morning is like this

Thank you to the furry cinephile who uploaded the criterion edition of His Girl Friday on youtube and also had this video title card to advertise it. You're doing a great service for cinema.
