Anna Sten in THE GIRL WITH THE HAT BOX. Sten is most remembered today as "Goldwyn's Folly." The mogul imported her to Hollywood and held back putting her in a movie, all while promising she was the greatest thing since sliced bread. Nobody, not even wonderful Anna, could live up to that hype.

This week at work, I told former SEINFELD writer turned novelist Matt Goldman about nerdily teaching myself screenplay format @ 11 & trying to join the writers room of his show & COACH. I heard back from both shows, & the kindest reply came from COACH's Barry Kemp. Today, I found my old letter. 🩵

As a top session musician in LA during the 1960s & 1970s, Carol Kaye’s bass was the foundation for dozens of popular songs. Kaye (born today in 1935) has a famously intuitive relationship with composer Brian Wilson. Kaye’s distinctive bass playing is featured on many of the Beach Boys’ hits.

The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert (1994) Written and directed by Stephan Elliott. Oscar Winner for Best Costume Design by Lizzy Gardiner and Tim Chappel.

Jean Rollin's more clinical dystopian exploration of the fantastique THE NIGHT OF THE HUNTED (1980) is an entirely different kind of zombie film, a seductively gloomy unraveling that dwells on the dread of identity loss through disease that obliterates the mind & renders the body a sorrowful prison.

Fact: They didn’t fear what breaking the Dept of Education would do to their kids. Their kids are in fancy private schools. They are dismantling the Dept of Ed so our kids have no choice but to be undereducated and work for their kids.

FEEDING THE BABY (1895) was one of the at-home scenes featured in the famous Lumière picture show, which also included street scenes and scripted material. The fresh background would have been a contrast to the claustrophobic Edison productions.

The Wicker Man (1973, Robin Hardy)

Badass movie

A 17th Century witch returns for bloody revenge in an atmospheric, refreshingly offbeat trip to the 80s. Gruesome, slick and superbly scary fun. 1982. #horrorcommunity #horrorfamily #horrormovie #horrorfilm #horrorfan #classichorror #horroraddict #filmsky #horrorsky #mutantfam #horrorfam #monsterfam

Watching Evil Aliens, another @horrorgeek.bsky.social sick flicks recommendation.

The silent movie fandom has chilled out noticeably since the wild message board and blogger days and I wonder if part of it has to do with no more living stars. Worship of the dead is always present in the fandom but a lack of living idols seems to have cut off some of the stranger behavior.

I hope everybody's feeling manic in honor of Timothy Carey's birthday. #FilmSky
