I realised this was going to be my 100th film on Letterboxd... And every October I say I'll watch Suspiria and end up chickening out. So I watched Suspiria. Which is kind of too silly to be actually scary, but damn if that bright red paint blood isn't somehow grosser than realistic looking blood.

Inktober Day 4! Alfred Pennyworth!

You know who else is currently implementing stronger filters to their internet to protect their people from indecent content? The Taliban. Just saying...

Louise by Eugene Robert Richee, 1927.

Another take of Claudette by Richee, 1936. The Paramount portraits were used in publicity for Maid of Salem (1937).

#LetterboxdFriday #LastFourWatched Former Work Husband sold me on Rouge months ago, and said yes when I asked if it'd fit my October spooky season. I didn't get much of a spooky feel but it is a lovely, quirky, memorable film.

Showgirls in Gold Diggers of 1933.

I booked next Friday off work for Kiss of the Spider Woman and I'm starting to think it might not be getting a UK cinema release.

Louise by Russell Ball, 1928.

RIP Soo Catwoman of the Bromley Contingent There is a GoFundMe to help with her funeral expenses. www.gofundme.com/f/soo-catwom...

First Jordan, then Vivienne Westwood, now the news that Soo Catwoman has passed

So sad to hear of the death of punk legend Soo Catwoman (Susan Lucas). She was so amazing. She was, of course, the main inspiration for my hairstyle. I met her once in the 2000s, and apologised for stealing it. She very graciously said "At least you're doing it well." I'll take that. R.I.P.

Last week there was a film quiz at work. My randomly assigned team only got five points. I'm pretty sure I got five correct. So the guy sitting opposite asked me for recommendations. He's from a non-English-speaking background and felt left out when people talk about films.

[guy who has only ever seen super hero movies voice] wow this is just like a super hero movie

there has never been any legal or denotative definition of pornography that wasn't intentionally a trojan horse to suppressing speech and eliminating marginalized groups, so even if porn was supposedly "ruining foreplay" and "making sex worse", I wouldn't fucking care. Have worse and rarer sex then

Louise tries her hand at refinishing and the image in a Hungarian magazine (R). “Louise Brooks maga festi a butorait” (paints her own furniture).

Louise observes the application of "artistic touches" to a coffee table "done in five shades of green with flashes of silver.” Also, “the painting and decorating of modern furniture employs many of the cleverest artists in Southern California.”

More from the session as Louise gets some pointers on chair upholstering from a worker in Paramount’s set design and production department.

The photo of Louise was also used for a 1928 LUX laundry soap advertisement. And another shot of Louise from an unidentified German magazine (R).

The full image of Louise in her “smart white angora suit” as part of a studio publicity photo feature.

Louise checks out modern chair design. From a photo session with Eugene Robert Richee, 1928. (Thread)

A vacation to a sadistic vampire lady's haunted castle in the Alps would fix me

Next year I make my own Kinktober list just to trick people into drawing my fetishes.

Louise on the run with Richard Arlen in Beggars of Life (1928). “Don’t let that crazy (William) Wellman talk you into doing any stunts yourself,” Louise remembers Wallace Beery telling her. “Directors love to kill actors.” She ended up doing most of the stunts anyway.

Oh, or the Steam Delivery Girl...

And one final lovely Hurrell take of Joan:

More Joan for MGM, 1930. Of note: Hurrell was only 25, one year older than Joan.

"Joan Crawford loved to pose for photographs and was constantly asking for new sittings. It was a pleasure to work with Joan. She would do a pose over and over again until we were sure it was right." — George Hurrell

I finished Fantomas (1913) including the commentaries and featurette on the MoC edition. Was hoping to get through Les Vampires before horror season but running out of time now. Fantomas, to be honest, a bit of a slog. Interesting from the perspective that it's before the visual storytelling...

I can't shake the feeling I've offended an artist when they gave me a quote for my commission and I got sticker shock, however politely I declined. But I've secured an artist I kind of wanted more at 66% of the price, so, you know

I am begging some of y’all to read a book. At this point I will accept literally any book at all.

Zack had an instagram account now and third post he did was of a naked hot dude Not beating the allegations, Zack!

Louise by George Hommel, 1927.

Bagpuss to the theme from Minder.

Ooh I've got two Halloween-themed commissions confirmed (one YCH and one full image) and discussing a third. Having commissions in the works is so exciting, I should do this more.

Okay, so you probably all knew about this continuity announcement ages ago, but I’ve only just seen this for the first time.

Louise and Victor McLaglen in another still from Howard Hawk’s A Girl in Every Port (1928). This was the film that is said to have inspired director G.W. Pabst to cast Louise as Lulu in Pandora’s Box (1929).
