Happy Birthday to Marilyn Monroe & to two of our best film writers, the insightful & lovely @kimmorgan.bsky.social & @candicefrederick.bsky.social! Read their work asap!

"She’s known by everyone, but, wonderfully, we will never know all of her. Because we keep re-acquainting ourselves, she remains a perennial contemporary." Kim Morgan @kimmorgan.bsky.social reflects on our enduring love for Marilyn Monroe airmail.news/issues/2026-...

For Marilyn's 100th birthday -- my piece at Air Mail on the enduring magic and mystery of Marilyn. Happy Birthday Marilyn! airmail.news/issues/2026-...

In the June @sightsoundmag.bsky.social devoted to our beloved Marilyn Monroe & her 100 years, this June 1st, I wrote about Huston's The Misfits & Marilyn's complex, moving performance. Also, check out the fantastic cover piece by @selfstyledsiren.bsky.social & all the Marilyn features inside.

@kimmorgan.bsky.social on 2night's #NoirAlley flick #HisKindOfWoman: "This is a pot-smoker’s movie, a stoner noir with a knotty plot and loads of characters doing weird shit – characters who seem, not just stoned, but who make you feel stoned once you settle into the thing." #TCMParty #TCMPotParty

Merry Christmas!

Your yearly reminder to read @kimmorgan.bsky.social’s lovely essay on that movie you’ll be watching tonight. thenewbev.com/blog/2017/12...

Im posting my Udo piece , sad, a photo I moved erased an important graph - Here it is - back in the piece - so please read again - and again, Udo forever -https://thesunsetgun.com/2025/11/25/the-eye-of-the-universe-udo-kier/

My day and discussion with beloved Udo from 2014 when we drove around the desert and talked ... and went to thrift stores. And more: thesunsetgun.com/2025/11/25/t...

So sad to lose this absolute legend and friend. No one ever was or ever will be like him. A great loss to cinema and to the world. But he will live on to me and to everyone who loved him -- and so many loved him -- and he still shines bright. Udo Forever.

Halloween night in Hollywood

How did Guillermo del Toro’s new Frankenstein film take inspiration from the Hunterian Museum? @realgdt.bsky.social

Out today! The gorgeous Criterion edition of Nightmare Alley. More here: www.criterion.com/films/35272-...

Guillermo del Toro’s #Frankenstein poured magnificence through me as I watched, still running through me. Like opera or poetry, it’s both vast & intimate. Can’t wait to watch again & again. Kudos!

Happy birthday, Guillermo del Toro 🎥

#ThrowbackThursday: A young Guillermo del Toro making Super 8 movies and visiting NYC in the 1980s, and today on the set of his take on an all-time classic 'Frankenstein'. A happy 61st birthday to the Mexican screen visionary today.

Oscar Isaac and Jacob Elordi at the #Frankenstein premiere.

#GuillermoDelToro, #JacobElordi, #MiaGoth y #OscarIsaac asistieron a la premiere de #Frankenstein en #LosÁngeles. Se estrena en #Netflix el 7 de noviembre.

Excited for the NYFF presentation tonight - a new restoration of Erich von Stroheim’s “Queen Kelly” - best known today as the silent film Gloria Swanson screens for William Holden in “Sunset Blvd.” And she’s right - they did have faces then.

As a romantic (in life) and a Romantic (in college studies) I loved Del Toro's Frankenstein—the sweep, the beauty and the headlong emotion of it. Its visual and thematic echoes range from Burke & Hare to Ingres to Hammer, but it's no pastiche—it's a vividly individual film.
