Very Merry Christmas to all the fine folk that I've met and have yet to meet here. Here's a turkey that even my vegetarian friends can enjoy. Or not. 1964. #horrorcommunity #horrorfamily #film #horrormovie #horrorfilm #horrorfan #classichorror #horroraddict #filmsky #horrorsky #mutantfam #horrorfam

☢️#102. Battle For the Planet of the Apes, 1974. While temporarily satiating my desire for gun wielding simians on horseback, this is the weakest of the original #Apes series. A strained cyclical timeline and an uninspired plot are salvaged only by its charming quaintness. 3/5 ☢️

#NowWatching ‘Gremlins’ (1984) ☀️💧⏰

Discovered in 1972 off the western coast of Calabria in southern Italy, this is one of two full-size ancient #Greek bronzes. The statue, cast around 460-450 BC, stands 198 cm (78 inches) tall. #Ancient #Art #History 👀

THE TAXI DRIVER (1975)

The magnificent greenstone Heart of Cópil, linked to the destiny of the Mexica people. It is carved with the divine face of the god Tláloc. At its center is a bead, a symbol of preciousness. At the top are two reliefs in the shape of a spiral, indicating the points where veins and arteries connect.

Divisive. Are we laughing with or at our horror heroes? Either way it's terrific to see Lugosi under the cape and Chaney still fighting the fur. 1948. #horrorcommunity #horrorfamily #horrormovie #horrorfilm #horrorfan #classichorror #horroraddict #filmsky #horrorsky #mutantfam #horrorfam #monsterfam

Now Playing: So Long, Mr Chumps 1941. The boys are street cleaners charged with finding an honest man with business sense & break into jail to find an honest man.

Now Playing: The Midnight Patrol 1933 20m. L&H are incredibly incompetent cops investigating a burglary at the chief of police' house. MAYHEM-LEVEL: HIGH. As usual, Ollie bears the brunt of the humiliating abuse. At one point, they fall into a wooden barrel of saerkraut.

Water's half-gone; time to head back to the parking lot. Made some elevation today. The road has been fenced-off by the US Forest Service, so now it's just hikers & mountain bikers up here. Tonto National Forest; Arizona USA.

#Edwards1000SixtiesMovies 238/1000: LONELY ARE THE BRAVE This contemporary, revisionist Western film has been singled out by lead actor Kirk himself as the "best" of his entire career. Indeed, this turns out to be a bold exploration of the last days of the Western frontier as modern times begin.

Now Playing: Cookoo Caveliers 1940 The boys expand their resumes by changing professions from fishermen trying to sell the same catch for 30 days, to Mexican beauty salon owners. Really. First assignment is changing 5 chorus girls into blondes; actresses who were incredibly good sports.

Now Playing: No Census, No Feelings 1940 The morons join a line to be census-takers while on the run from the cops. Moe says, "We work for the Census now!" And Curly asks "Will Hays?". Curly takes a cheese grater to the face!

Current state of a corner of our gallery room. Mine, hers, friends, strangers. Also, shelves of Southwest kitsch. AKA our tiny guest bedroom. An uncomfortable futon makes sure guests don't stay long!

Re-discovered this in a closet. Found it at a garage sale in MPLS. REUSE & RECYCLE.

The road less-travelled. The US Forest Service fenced-off this road to vehicles, so hikers & mountain bikers only. Occasional side roads leading UP. Saw only one other hiker. I was stoned AF when I took this. I need to go back. Western Tonto National Forest; Arizona USA. Galaxy S24 + Snapseed.

My straw sunhat battered by 13 years of desert exploration.

Why they called 'jumping cholla'! Note correct way of dealing with problem.

Saturday morning wake & bake in the Tonto National Forest w/Pineapple Upside-Down Cake & a shot of B12 (My body doesn't absorb it anymore from food so monthly self-injection).

Alone. Dusk pano of the Valley below from South Mountain Preserve; PHX AZ USA. Nothing but urban sprawl below. The counties mountain parks are respite from all the congestion. GALAXY S24 + SNAPSEED.

Now Playing: Boobs In Arms 1940 The nitwits enlist in the army & go to boot camp. Lots of for real hard butt-kicking. The Army will never be the same.
