"I was wholly involved, engaged and intrigued watching ELLA McCAY. We as a race should be more embarrassed by our obsession with finding new cool, cinematic ways to represent bullet trajectories."

I am a friend of ELLA McCAY! My new review at TSW!

Just saw ELLA MCKAY on Hulu.
A Good Movie.
Much better than so many nincompoops online led me to believe.
Entire cast good.
Interesting set up. Alas, resolution a bit underwhelming, but ehh, whaddya gonna do?
Good show, Mr. Brooks et. al.

Worth seeing!

Zardoz has spoken.

well at some point you shoulda realized it wasn't a police academy film, that's for sure!

I wouldn't go that far! ;)

If MANNEQUIN is So Bad, Why Have You Seen it So Many Times? My Spirited Defense of a Humpback Classic! If MANNEQUIN is so bad, why have you watched it so many times?

If MANNEQUIN is so bad, why have you seen it 15 times? Someone's got to defend it, so here I go! Lengthy piece with quotes and background!

Obscure YT of the day: 1968 episode of the tv show N.Y.P.D. "Cry Brute" with Frank Converse, Jack Warden Tony Lo Bianco & a big part for everyone's hero, a young Roy Scheider!

I don't think these heads belong on these bodies.

not yet, it'll be available shortly from the usual suspects

Obscure YT of the day: 1983's college wrestling film HADLEY'S REBELLION beat VISION QUEST by two years! Fred Walton (WHEN A STRANGER CALLS) directs Griffin O'Neal (ESCAPE ARTIST), William Devane (MARATHON MAN), Charles Durning (TOOTSIE), Adam Baldwin (DC CAB)!

Coming soon, the incredible screenplays from Jim McBride's "lost" period in the 1970s after DAVID HOZMAN'S DIARY & before BREATHLESS & THE BIG EASY. With an intro with a detailed interview with McBride by yours truly.

The people running this country are genuinely so horrible it's hard to imagine what runs through their minds. Incomprehensible cretins.

You may have lead a better life than me, but you've never been complimented with "Pure Mexican" by Brian De Palma. Read Brian De Palma's AMBROSE CHAPEL to see how purely Mexican it is! Available now!

Obscure YT of the day: Who dares resist a super-rare 1977 giallo starring Catherine Deneuve (!!!) & Vittorio Gassman! Shot in Venice!

ANIMA PERSA(aka THE FORBIDDEN ROOM), directed by Dino Risi (the original SCENT OF A WOMAN that Pacino remade, among many others)!

Obscure YT of the day:

The very hard to see Claudia Cardinale vehicle, A ROSE FOR EVERYONE (1967)! What a smile! Directed by Franco Rossi! You have to click on settings, not "CC," to get some English subtitles, but they're there. Very hard film to see!

youtu.be/wS1G8FVf2gw?...

yeah my dad passed but he did read it, lol! I published this 3 years ago or so initially :)

I saw it on cable like 40 years ago, have no memory of it :)

I posted a link to that a few days ago.

“Why did the models have to die?” 🤔

Finally answered.

By me.

"I’m Here to Sell for You: Michael Crichton’s LOOKER" — a loving deep dive into a much-maligned kinda screwed up humpback ’80s sci-fi satire that’s smarter, funnier, and stranger than its rep.

Obscure YT of the day: A cab driver (Yaphet Kotto!) drives a fugitive to Mexico (David Janssen!) in NIGHT CHASE (1970)! Shades of COLLATERAL! Victoria Vetri, Elisha Cook Jr, William Katt, & Richard Romanus costar! Directed by Jack Starrett (RACE WITH THE DEVIL!)

I will say that if the Cliff Booth thing is a half-assed mediocre sequel, it will actually fit in w/ Tarantino's 60s-70s ethos:

They Call Me Mr. Tibbs after In the Heat of the Night, Come Back Charlston Blue after Cotton Comes to Harlem, Lady in Cement after Tony Rome! All meh!

nope, but he's a man after your own heart, he's playing "Uncle Bob"

Yeah that works

New to TSW: Somebody's got to be the last remaining John Cusack completist. I review THE FOG OF WAR (2025).

Claudia Cardinale is really something in THE GIRL WITH THE SUITCASE.
