It's not *quite* sweater weather yet, but it IS the first day of fall. So here is lovely Kim Novak in a nice cozy-chunky sweater.

I have the same problem! I really *hate* Bluesky Moderation's application of warning labels, especially concerning "adult content," or "non-sexual nudity" when a photo I've posted is an album cover or movie poster or something that's already gone through stages of "moderation." They are useless!!

You can tell the U.S. is in bad shape when no one's talking about HD's hot sex scenes between Qualley and Plaza. In saner times, that's all anyone would be talking about. Obviously, I'm in the minority, but I much prefer seeing Qualley in horny crime flicks than in overhyped art horror freakouts.

"The Unhappy Hangman," as performed by the theater troupe at the start of 1964's THE CASTLE OF THE LIVING DEAD. Overall, not a very good film (in spite of star Christopher Lee's efforts to be suitably creepy), but this sequence is amusing.
