Dialogue from THUNDERBALL / Lyrics from Adam Ant's "Goody Two Shoes"

Ron Howard: "It's sort of a tradition that Roger shows up in the cameos of his alumni. And you know, here it is, 17 years later, and I'd never given Roger a job 'cause I thought he was such a lousy actor, but then I was talking to Jonathan Demme and he said, 'You know, he's gotten a lot better.'"

It's National Film Score Day! QTP with a favorite film score. #Filmsky #moviesky #musicsky

Re-watched THE LONG GOOD FRIDAY tonight for obvious reasons, and was reminded anew how much of a banger this score is — and how long it took me to run it down.

“At first he only appeared in his films if he needed an extra body in a scene or an actor failed to show up,” @hoodedjustice.bsky.social writes of Roger Corman, “but later on he did cameos for directors who wanted to pay him back for giving them their start in the business.” buff.ly/PmTtHIh

My @criterion.bsky.social Flash Sale order is in, and I’m very pleased with my selections. A lot of possessives.

To mark legendary producer Roger Corman’s 100th birthday (on April 5), here’s a roundup of his acting jobs for his illustrious alumni. crookedmarquee.com/a-centennial...

Letterboxd/Filmsky Last Four Friday Three ’70s Demmes and one documentary short about the band Yello and its main claim to fame. #LastFourWatched

The GIF is silent, but I can still hear it in my head.

Happy 55th Anniversary Kamen Rider!

If you see this, show the energy you bring to Bluesky.

I don’t know who needs to hear this, but

Re-upping this suggestion for Kamen Rider Day.

Even though this month’s full moon coincides with April Fools’ Day, I refrained from joking about switching the focus of my Full Moon Features column over to vampires. You’re welcome.

Bruce Campbell “appears in nearly every shot” of ‘Running Time,’ @hoodedjustice.bsky.social writes. “It’s an impressive achievement that should surprise and delight anybody who seeks it out.”

For @crooked-marquee.bsky.social, I channeled my sadness about Bruce Campbell’s recent cancer diagnosis into an appreciation of one of his less-known starring roles. There’s never been a better time to check out RUNNING TIME.

I miss when April 1st was a fun and pretty chill day, the kind of day when Criterion could announce they were adding KINDERGARTEN COP to the Collection and do a mockup of the product listing and even a “Three Reasons” video. youtu.be/mwXwHR3mQ8c

Happy April, FOOLS.

My solemn vow: I will not be changing my avatar or username tomorrow, nor will I be posting differently in any way. It's the least I can do. It's the least any of us can do.

Somehow, the fellating of Lorne Michaels continues.

Stop scrolling and post two characters who bring you happiness.

Re-watched RACHEL GETTING MARRIED for the first time since it was in theaters, and man, the dishwasher scene still kills me. Of all the scenes that run the gamut from pure joy to raw grief, that’s the one with the emotional landmine no one was expecting to step on.

I have to believe at some point I will stop hearing about all these assholes and their asinine statements.

If you see this, post a concert photo you took

Bought a copy of Fritz Lang’s THE SPIDER to upgrade it from DVD and was pleasantly surprised to find it comes with THE PLAGUE IN FLORENCE, which Lang wrote, but did not direct. Bonus!

A more civilized time.

I know which one I would pick.

Another great-looking giallo villain in 1972's SO SWEET, SO DEAD.

A Letterboxd user I follow has logged 1971's SLAUGHTER HOTEL, which reminded me of the array of medieval weaponry on display that the masked killer puts to good use.

A migraine while I’m in the middle of cooking breakfast? Why, thank you!

Letterboxd/Filmsky Last Four Friday A soon-to-expire Preminger, a turn-of-the-millennium anime, a little-seen Honda, and a real-time Becker. #LastFourWatched

The Tag Team Champions!

Can’t beat that look.

Drop some armor

Post a non-religious photo you think of as holy.

Today’s Framed is gross.

What’s the perfect gif for your BlueSky persona?

An intense day of podcast prep. It’s no mystery why I had such strange dreams last night. #LastFourWatched

Drop a movie that traumatized you as a kid.

Nothing sets my teeth on edge quite like irritating characters who are supposed to be “fun.” There were two in the film I watched last night and I couldn’t wait for them die. Luckily, it was the kind of film where it was a given that they would.
