Turn those clocks ahead with Charles Laughton and Ray Milland in The Big Clock (1948), directed by John Farrow. 📽️ #FilmNoir

During WW I, Basil Rathbone served as an intelligence officer. He was also a two-time British Army Fencing Champion. The skill with a sword he showed on screen was real. #Svengoolie #SonOfFrankenstein

Mom?

A man asked me last night what publishing needs to do for literary fiction to begin appealing to men again. I said, as nicely as I could, that, with over 2,000 books published every Tuesday, of which many would appeal to men, it’s not a publishing problem, it’s a men problem.

I remember watching a Stephen King interview where he said what got him into writing was reading a *really* terrible book and thinking, "hell, *I* could do better than this slop!" We need more people having that reaction to seeing their Democratic officials' repeated failures to represent them.

3 other Dem lawmakers in NC who voted for the GOP's anti-trans legislation were beaten by 20+% yesterday, too. Centrist DINOs ate shit last night in NC.

This was a fight vs no-fight Democratic primary and the fight candidate won by almost fifty points. Chuck Schumer and Hakeem Jeffries should be shaking in their boots. We, the American people, are coming for their no-fight caucus members— and we will take their leadership positions away.

“He had a feeling” is a crazy reason to start a war

Catherine Turney was one of the only female contract writers at MGM and would enlist other women to help her, like Barbara Stanwyck, to pitch projects for her to develop such as #filmnoir Mildred Pierce and No Man of Her Own. #WomenInNoir

Another death in ICE custody that in on all of us, he was allowed to suffer in our name, whether or not we voted for these horrors.

There’s something wrong with this woman. She really should be censured, removed from all committees & asked to resign 🤦

Ida Lupino. #WomenInNoir A legend in front of and behind the camera, she's a #filmnoir force that credits singer, director, writer, and producer to her resume. During her 48-year career, she appeared in 59 films and directed 8. What's your favorite?
