BOTD 7/11/1920 Bald baddassery at its best, Oscar winner Yul Brynner! Brynner made some bangers, to be sure, including THE TEN COMMANDMENTS (56) & THE MAGNIFICENT SEVEN (60). But for me, his career is bookended perfectly... THE KING & I (56): King of Siam WESTWORLD (73): Killer robot #filmsky 📽

OTD 7/10/1981: John Carpenter's sublime ESCAPE FROM NEW YORK opened in theaters! Set in dystopian 1997 🤣, NYC is walled-off prison wonderland. Hunky Snake Plissken must rescue president. Kurt Russell leads great cast, relentless action, fun effects, offbeat humor. Perfect! All-timer. #filmsky 📽

The NSFW stuff from us will never stop. Fuck the people trying to get it banned, fuck the age verification/ID bullshit, fuck all that! You're not trying to protect kids, you're trying to control what people see and viewer. So fuck you!

Not everyone needs to be a twink and that’s okay. Some people just aren’t. The other categories are hot to. Or just being you is hot as well.

Usually, do birthday posts for old Hollywood stars....but must confess that I love Eva Green, BOTD 7/6/80. IMO: 1) Most underrated TV performance of all time for PENNY DREADFUL. 2) Best & most complex female character in James Bond franchise. Any 🎥 or 📺 show improved with her presence. #filmsky 📽

Terminator 2: Judgment Day—one of the best sequels and sci-fi movies EVER—turns 35 today #filmsky

OTD 7/3/1991: James Cameron's game-changing TERMINATOR 2: JUDGMENT DAY premieres in theaters. One of greatest sci-fi AND action epics ever created, mind-blowing effects led to 4 Oscar wins. Arnold good, Linda badass, & classic was born that still holds up better than most modern films! #filmsky 📽

Happy Birthday to Tom Cruise, 7/3/1962. Few stars are bigger! Talent onscreen & impact on film is undeniable, even as complicity in Scientology is repellant. Oscar noms: 1989 Born on the Fourth of July 1996 Jerry Maguire 1999 Magnolia (my winner) 2022 Top Gun: Maverick (as producer) #filmsky 📽

Wilford Lloyd Baumes has sadly passed away few days ago. He made one of the longest running romantic shows ever, The Love Boat. Remember when both this and Fantasy Island were fun to watch thanks to Aaron Spelling. #Filmsky #TVsky #July

Looks like I picked the wrong week to quit smoking! And drinking! And amphetamines! And sniffing glue! Comedy classic AIRPLANE! turns 46 years old. Premiered OTD 7/2/1980 & quickly became gold standard of silliness. #filmsky 📽

My ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ review of THE SILENCE OF THE LAMBS boxd.it/f21Dqn No matter how many times watched, still delivers tension due to Demme's craftsmanship. Hopkins chills & Foster remains believable & resilient heroine. Editing, score, screenplay, performances top notch. #filmsky 📽 Criterion Collection 13

Prolific director, producer, & sometimes actor Sydney Pollock was BOTD 7/1/34. Oscar winning heavyweight took on classics: 68 Swimmer 72 Jeremiah Johnson 73 Way We Were 75 Three Days of the Condor 82 Tootsie 85 Out of Africa #Filmsky 📽 But my fave will always be THEY SHOOT HORSES, DON'T THEY? ⬇️

Happy Canada Day!

Happy Birthday to the one & only Deborah Harry, 7/1/1945. My queen, my icon. Rock on, Debbie! 🎤 Blondie was my bucket-list concert. 🎵 "Call Me" was my anthem. 📺 TV's WISEGUY role rocked my world. 🎥 And film roles in VIDEODROME & HAIRSPRAY are perfection. #filmsky 📽

My ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️1/2 review of THE INVISIBLE MAN boxd.it/f07d1v One of filmdom's most iconic vocal performances? Bitchy Claude Rains is mesmerizing. From surliness to pranks to murderous intent, criminal spree is loaded with macabre humor & nifty effects. Most twisted of OG Universal Monsters. #filmsky 📽

My ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ review of CROUCHING TIGER, HIDDEN DRAGON boxd.it/f0kQ3V Gorgeous effects & cinematography cause tale of honor & sacrifice to soar into the treetops. But action is grounded by strong performances & genuine emotion. Come for swordplay, but be seduced by its deeply romantic soul. #filmsky 📽
