@comicsinthega.bsky.social Saw this at the show Dress, Dreams, and Desire: Fashion and Psychoanalysis at the Museum at FIT.

As @nymetrowx.bsky.social promised, a beautiful day and a great one to visit the Whitney and the Museum at FIT…

“It’s absolutely the most complicated [book I’ve done] visually, because normally I’ve only worked in two-dimensional painting. I decided to go out on a limb and do 3D illustration”: Brian Lies on challenging himself creatively with his latest picture book, ‘Cat Nap’ buff.ly/JrWqMUr

My conversation with Brian Lies on recreating artworks from the Metropolitan Museum of Art for his new picture book, Cat Nap—and doing it old school.

happy birthday Gritty

In honor of Claudia Cardinale, go watch Pietrangeli’s The Magnificent Cuckold (1964). Another great satire of the good life during Italy’s economic miracle.

Fran Jeffries singing "Meglio Stasera" is everything. I want to live in that après-ski. #ThePinkPanther #TCMParty

As Barbra Streisand tells Robert Redford in The Way We Were:

Just watched Ritchie’s Downhill Racer (1969) for the first time.

Watched #TheWayWeWere (1973) in honor of Redford and thought, “This is the closest Hollywood ever came to making Vertigo as a woman’s picture.”

Her Italian comedies are catnip #SophaLoren #botd www.reddit.com/r/popculture...

everyone stop what you’re doing and wish Nancy the Cat a happy 7th birthday!!!

Any excuse to post one of my favorite videos of all time

State Fairs: Growing American Craft at the Renwick is 🥇Beautifully staged, deeply appreciative of all kinds of talents and artistry. A testimony to diligence and creativity and butter.

Just watched Gout’s Aventura en Río (1953)—not to be confused with Aventurera (1950)—and while we had to put up with Google translate subtitles and endless commercials for Wonder and Google, the print was excellent and we really needed this Ninón Sevilla craziness.

my friend Darren said all AI sounds like Crow’s Rutherford B. Hayes report; he’s right

Can’t wait to see Whitney's Sixties Surreal. But I’m reminded that a small and terrific 2019 show Pop América already shattered the idea that Pop was politically neutral—artists across the Americas used bold imagery for justice movements & protests. www.blockmuseum.northwestern.edu/exhibitions/...

No visits from a pileated woodpecker this summer so I’m making do with this wonderful video from @cornellbirds.bsky.social I'm not crying, you're crying! m.youtube.com/watch?v=o0er...

One day late on the anniversary, but no less heartfelt.

Just watched Blasetti’s La Fortuna Di Essere Donna (1956) with these two gorgeous, crazy kids. A story about fame and media that could have been made yesterday.

Permission to be melancholy.

One of the marvels of Daves’ #DarkPassage is that it contains so many rich worlds—you get the sense that every minor character has a perspective and experience worth paying attention to. #TCMParty

Just watched The Facts of Murder (Un maledetto imbroglio, 1959) directed by AND starring Pietro Germi with a very young Claudia Cardinale. It’s terrific and the print on Amazon video is gorgeous.

Love how it seems like everyone mentions PLAYTIME.

Happy 88th birthday to a real MAD man (and Sparky Award recipient): Sergio Aragonés!

1975 was a killer year for film — and we’re not just talking about ‘Jaws.’ Here, we round up the 10 best movies turning 50 in 2025, including ‘One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest,’ ‘3 Days of the Condor’ and ‘Shampoo.’

Contractor ended our phone call with “Go Birds,” officially making it football season. 🦅

I was this many years old when I finally watched Rome, Open City.

Last evening walk of the unofficial end of summer and I encountered a couple taking a stroll with their British shorthair cats (the inspo for the Cheshire Cat). And…scene.

#LaborDay2025 #BenShahn

Labor Day must viewing: IMO the best Tracy-Hepburn, one that celebrates love at a certain age and never tries to win points by belittling her. Plus Joan Blondell, Gig Young, CinemaScope & Charles LeMaire’s mid-century career woman costume designs, which I would readily buy today. #TCMParty

Caught up with #SUTS feature 3 Godfathers. Could it be that I’m just one movie short (Tobacco Road) of seeing every Ford movie where people sing “Shall We Gather at the River”? youtu.be/Quu4ZB25LCg

Ben Shahn at @jewishmuseumldn.bsky.social

👏👏👏👏to mcantone.bsky.social for programming #TheStoryofEstherCostello for #SUTS. So great to discover a new Joan from the 1950s, when she made some of her most interesting and risky choices. (And thanks to @benmank77.bsky.social too)

Donald O’Connor IS Danny Kaye in #DoubleCrossbones #TCMParty

Brazen.

Michael Wilding’s final rendition of Tenderly reminds me of this. #TorchSong #SUTS www.youtube.com/watch?v=wAXo...

Gig Young! Now that’s a party! #TorchSong #SUTS

This had better not be good. #TorchSong #TCMParty

Happy Joan Crawford Day to all who celebrate! 🎉 #JoanCrawford #TCMParty #SUTS All Joan, all day, until tomorrow morning ♥️

Gotta admit I love this movie and its snappy script. And I’d vote for Joan in a heartbeat. #GoodbyeMyFancy #SUTS

Here’s what the Taylor swift and Travis kelce engagement taught me about B2B sales:

An @afm-union.bsky.social and @sagaftra.org gal. An NFLPA guy. We love a union love story. Congrats Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce!

The Columbus Dispatch is wild for this one
