He was. Out of the Past IMHO the best of all noirs. He made even low-budget efforts like War Gods of the Deep interesting.

They only come out at night....

Until someone mentioned that yesterday, I was unaware!

Hard to think of a better learning ground for cinematography than Black Narcissus.

I'm kinda neutral on Grease 2. There are worse movies. It has become something of a cult film these days and I know several people who are big fans. #filmsky

My favorite horror movie.

Offering some advice for the day: Don't accept any slips of paper from this man! #FilmSky

Oddball in Kelly's Heroes may never be mentioned as one of Donald Sutherland's best performances...but his World War II hippie tanker is so memorable. And where was this line on AFI's 100 Quotes: "Always with the negative waves, Moriarty, always with the negative waves." #FilmSky

Thank you @classic-film.bsky.social film for another great tournament. #BurtBacharachSongs was an inspired choice‼️ I am a little surprised “I Say A Little Prayer” won over “Walk On By” but as you say it’s a worthy winner. #TCMParty #MusicSky 🎧

I visited York in the 1980s. The show shows The Minster in the background several times!

Thanks much for this magical, musical flash tourney, Master of Tournaments.

And the #BurtBacharachSongs Tournament Championship goes to ... "I Say a Little Prayer." It's a worthy winner, but I could say that about every song in this tournament. I enjoyed reminiscing with all of you about these great songs (and others). Thanks for sharing your love! #MusicSky

@chillhuahua.bsky.social Thanks for letting me know about the wrong pct. I fixed it.

The big news in Round 2 of the #BurtBacharachSongs Tournament is that the #1 seed is out! "What the World Needs Now Is Love" knocked off "The Look of Love." The rest of the favorites prevailed. The Final Four round is tomorrow!

This is last update before the final results in Round 2 of the #BurtBacharachSongs Tournament. The Look of Love has made up a lot of ground on What the World Needs Now. If you haven't voted, here's the link to the online ballot: s.surveyplanet.com/eypfet4f

I switched it up today and went with all the higher seeds. Man, I hated not voting for Do You Know the Way to San Jose? though, but it was a terrible matchup for me (would have been my final).

According to a couple of sources, The Look of Love is the most covered Bacharach song. I believe that. Even I can name several versions off the top of my head. So, it was only a mild surprise when it earned the #1 seed. However, I am surprised that it's likely to get knocked out the second round.

when it came on the screen, i looked for the lyrics to expand my review and was shocked to see it was Burt and Mack

I have no issue with discussing politically-themed movies and TV shows in the context of when they were made. Seven Days in May and The Best Man are in my 100 favorite movies. But I have zero interest in making them about the current political climate.

I think I knew that once upon a time, but "relearned" it yesterday.

Only two that I voted for made it through and they're my two favorites and matched up against each other the next rounds (Raindrops and San Jose). 🤷‍♂️

The only two of mine that did not make it through were Alfie and What’s New Pussycat (whoa whoa whoa)

This was my first non-movie music tournament!

Thanks!! #BurtBacharachSongs Tournament Results Round 1. Altho I wanted Alfie to advance, I listened to Dusty Springfield’s “This Girl’s In Love With You” and wow… #MusicSky #TCMParty #BurtBacharach

Round 1 is done in the #BurtBacharachSongs Tournament! "What the World Needs Now" fended off a strong challenge from "I'll Never Fall in Love Again." Otherwise, the higher seeds prevailed easily. Round 2 is tomorrow and the #4-#5 match-up could be a thriller!

School Spirits has been renewed for season 4, which premieres in 2027. Season 3 ends on a cliffhanger.

I agree that makes no sense. I had planned to watch Starfleet Academy, but am having second thoughts now that I know it's been future-cancelled.

Exactly how, when & why I ended up on Twitter and became Moondoggie. It was autumn 2016. I went on a long sabbatical from Facebook because I was tired of arguing with certain old friends. I loved the little classic film and television corner of Twitter until things began to change. Glad to be here.

I have both Hoopla and Kanopy and they have great content - especially old 50s sci-fi movies

I agree 100%, said the Cardinals/Colts/Hoosiers/LeCarre/Christie fan.

One of the many reasons we're social media friends. I am so tired of political rants from liberals and conservatives. They can discuss that among themselves. I'm on here for the arts!

I think I need to put the "No politics, please" in capital letters in my profile. I don't want to read about that stuff here. I am interested in discussing movies, TV, and music. Keep the politics out of conversations with me. I ask politely.

My library has @hoopladigital.bsky.social and I can check out five movies or shows a month. It's a great free service. Content is excellent. Has a lot of @acorntv.bsky.social shows like Brokenwood Mysteries, but you have to wait about a year to see the new stuff.

I cancelled midway through SNW. Broke my heart, but you gotta do what you gotts do.
