Kicking off scarf season

Great pre-sunset walk through the bird sanctuary, and we got to meet this new friend 🥰

If you didn't catch the names in PTA's speech, the 1975 Best Picture nominees are Barry Lyndon, Dog Day Afternoon, Jaws, Nashville, and One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest. There are no skips; there is no wrong place to start. They will make you love American movies anew, and demand the best from them.

Happy Oscars day, which category are you getting overly emotionally invested in this year?

New frames day

Opera night

Why didn’t I eat at the Grand Central Oyster Bar sooner? Why did none of you tell me??

Two masterworks of Euro cinema, a lustrous pre-code romantic tragedy, and a twisty ‘40s noir with evil Claude Raines

Fuck it, let’s go to the movies

#LastFourWatched! Four films by great filmmakers - one all-time Christmas classic, one perfect screwball comedy, and two fascinating pictures by two of 20th century’s greatest visual stylists and storytellers, both from 1962.

Jane Wyman in ALL THAT HEAVEN ALLOWS, clap if you agree

Catching up on new releases; an annual holiday tradition (in 35mm no less); and closing in on the end of my year long watch through of Vincente Minnelli’s filmography. Pretty good week!

Got a haircut ✂️

I’ve been watching my way through Minnelli’s entire filmography this year and was grateful to catch this one on an eye-popping 35mm print - Deb Kerr’s green dress and red hair has never looked better!

Back at Ravinia, with my love @jmocek.bsky.social

Vincente Minnelli directing LUST FOR LIFE in 1956:

Chicago, who else is bedecking themselves in gewgaws for Kelli O’Hara (and Sutton Foster!) at Ravinia tn?

Third time seeing this - second time on a big screen - in the past year. Extraordinary picture.

It’s time
