Drop some bathtubs.

Watched Invasion Force (1990), a film on Tubi with 57 reviews on @letterboxd.social. It is bad, but it is fun bad. If you like that kind of thing.

Why didn’t anyone tell me that Jacques Demy invented the hangout movie in 1961? Lola is so great.

Why can’t everyone just admit that the A-10 is the best military plane? It’s ugly and loud and better than anything else.

I like silent films as much as the next cinephile, but I do not agree about this one. It’s better than the average silent era bloated epic, but it is still a silent era bloated epic.

Oh god.

I'm sure it has happened before, but I can't remember ever seeing a tornado west of the rockies come across my feed before.

I'll believe it when I see it on the field.

Okay this isn’t really happening anymore so I can tell you how l had “internal ICE sources”: the 3000 very stir-crazy ICE agents were all going wild on Minneapolis Tinder. Local girls would match with them and string them along for intel. They loved to brag about what they were doing all day

Been going through 17776. So far, my favorite line: JUICE: man they drowned the east coast and killed google reader, fuck em

Has there ever been a person in our lifetimes that more people on the planet were looking forward to their death? Even Osama Bin Laden, as terrible as he was, probably wasn't as universally hated around the world, and by the time he died he wasn't active anymore.

This is going to be Reagan v. Mondale levels of lopsided if these numbers hold in the midterms.

Two of the worst characters with just awful chemistry.

Happy 17776 Immortality Day! www.sbnation.com/a/17776-foot...

I grew up a fan of 12 Monkeys. Watched La Jetee, the 'film' that it is an adaptation of, for the first time this evening. I know 12 Monkeys isn't super well-regarded, but it is one of those films I loved as a young person. Not surprised La Jetee inspired other filmmakers after seeing it. #filmsky

I work under the assumption they’re not actually fans of the comics. People can claim to be fans of anything, but if they haven’t actually bought an X-Men comic since Grant Morrison was writing it…or they’re over 40 and mostly grew up on 90s X-force.

Viridiana (1961) certainly is interesting.

Every time I see a photo of Eleanor Roosevelt, all I can see is Don Knotts in drag.

Depluralize a movie One Bride for One Brother #filmsky 📽️

For those of you tired of me posting about films from 1960, I have good news. I'm moving on to 1961.

Decades ago when I was doing my A-Levels a teacher warned me about the dangers of "placebo revision": namely things that felt like revision and scratched the "I have revised" itch without actually increasing your retention. This proposal is placebo activism. www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/202...

This. This is Easter.

Does anyone know whatever happened to Key Meersman who played the lead in The Young One (1960)? #filmsky

Oh, that thing on the left should not exist. Not at all.

capitalism + misogyny

I can't watch historical films made in the 1970s without going...everyone looks like they're from the 1970s. It's like nobody wanted to change their look to be historically accurate. This poster is a pretty solid example.

I did not expect Luis Buñuel to be making films as late as he did. He made is directorial debut in 1930, and I don't think I ever saw anything of his after that until 30 years later. He directed his last film in 1977, well into his late 70s. He was almost completely deaf by then.

I feel like the top right image is referencing this shot from The Third Man (1949). That's not a criticism.

For a film I didn't like very much, I had a lot to say about this one. #filmsky #LetterBoxd boxd.it/dPHFdz

Time to go knock Black Sunday off my list.

Using good parenting to make up for bad parenting. No excuse for having a Texas fan living in Oklahoma.

I made a list on #LetterBoxd of the best film from every year that was directed by someone born outside of the United States. I called it "Heritage American My Ass or The Best Film From Each Year That JD Vance Would Hate". For each entry, I added a comment. #filmsky boxd.it/TElXk/detail

Why did I never notice that The Third Man opens with the protagonist walking under a ladder, predicting all of the bad shit that's about to go down for him? Sometimes you just miss what the film is trying to tell you because you haven't locked in yet.

Hey OKC - I’m hosting a screening of Birdemic this evening at the Oklahoma Film Exchange. Come on out and thrill to the best bad movie ever made!

Started an #okwx list since it's that time of year. Here's the link if you want to follow. Also happy to get suggestions on accounts to add. bsky.app/profile/did:...

Has anyone made an #okwx list to follow yet?

Why isn’t Stormy Waters the most famous and beloved film from 1941 that isn’t Citizen Kane? It’s not even in the top 25. What is wrong with the world?

I don’t usually jump on Criterion’s New Collections category on the streaming service, but they do have Three Noirs by Jacques Tourneur right now, and Out of the Past (1947) starts the list. Worth checking out.

and the western/noir masterpiece Bad Day at Black Rock - along with John Sturges's incredible commentary track for the film (basically film school in under 2 hours) - have also returned to the Criterion Channel.

I’ve come to realize I’m one of those #Letterboxd users who has a lot of films that I rank as 2.5-3.5 stars that I love. I generally tend to rank movies based on my perception of their quality, and not how much I liked it. I know this is problematic, but it means Street Trash gets to be in my top 4.

I think someone had a bipedal lizard fetish.

Films about growing up…

I’d argue that 1960 was the first truly great year for horror films. Eyes Without a Face Psycho Peeping Tom Black Sunday All four are masterpieces that hold up today.

Preach!

Been working on my new Letterboxd List of the best film from each year that JD Vance would hate, and I hit my first year where none of my favorite films are made by foreign filmmakers. Time to brush up on my French Poetic Realism.

My #LetterBoxdFriday #LastFourWatched 1. Good film, but not Hitchcock's best 2. An April Fools prank on me 3. One of the two best uses of technicolor in horror 4. I got curious about how Cronenberg is doing I've also started a new list over on Letterboxd: letterboxd.com/claytonflesh...

Yes I'm staying up too late on a work night making a list on LetterBoxd. Don't judge me. It's going to be a good list.

I have two more films left on my list for 1960, Black Sunday and La Joven. Plan on getting to them this weekend, especially since my local rep cinema is showing Birdemic on Saturday and I'm not giving anyone money for that. #filmsky
