Beth Ann Gallagher

An early happy #Halloween wish to friends! This picture is from my recent Vintage Girl Studios #horror-themed, #pinup photoshoot. Definitely a twist on the Hollywood starlet's Hollywood publicity still. Looks like we added a little SERIAL MOM (1994)! #SpookySeason2025 #FilmSky

Have you listened to the most recent episode of the podcast yet, discussing Edith Nesbit and her gothic tales of terror?

I'll be watching @clairelouiseamias.bsky.social 's performance this evening, so more to come on this...

The incomparable Vincent Price (May 27, 1911 – October 25, 1993)

John Giorno’s experimental “Dial-A-Poem” project goes online. The poet and artist’s 1969 project is now available on a new website featuring new material from poets and performers from around the world.

Dial-A-Poem is back.

American artist and poet John Giorno (1936-2019) introduced the service in 1969, inviting callers to dial a phone number and hear recorded readings of poems.

The renewed version combines early recordings w/ new contributions.

You Can't Do That on Television title card of a man's unsmiling face

Every time I see someone with one front half of their shirt tucked in, I think of a YOU CAN'T DO THAT ON TELEVISION episode. It's the one where the characters randomly start a style trend of wearing pants with one long leg & one short leg. Just as silly to me! #GenX #TVSky

#Filmsky Music theorists were brought in to analyze the keystrokes of the actors in Amadeus and found them perfect in notes and even the touch. Details like this turn a film from classic to masterpiece.

Art Deco found its way into film early on, as art directors and costume designers mobilized its streamlined elegance to evoke both the optimism and anxiety of the day. Join us & Art Deco Society of L.A.:

Of all the #Hitchcock cameos LIFEBOAT is the trickiest. He even gets his name in. Happy bday, Hitch! #TCMparty

Thank you! Vintage Girl Studios took the shot. Krzystyna's got an eye for the moment & is great at directing poses. I took this about four months before I turned fifty. A bucket list item I'd like to do again!

That's a great compliment! Thank you!

Tonight's movie was more of a program of several short silent films, mostly about women being feral it was fantastic. And the lady from the project was super real with us about where we're at right now in this country and that was fantastic as well. (The realness, not the fascism, to be clear.

People who respond to emails without answering a single question they were asked should go to jail forever.

Review: “Videoheaven” One of my most vivid childhood memories occurred in a video store: at the ripe age of eight, I fell to my knees in despair in the check-out line at my local Blockbuster in Ocala, Florida upon heari…

Alex Ross Perry’s sprawling video essay chronicling the history of the video store and how it’s reflected in its portrayal in movies, VIDEOHEAVEN, is expanding to more theaters (and screens locally here at the end of the month). It’s as meaningful as it is repetitive- my review: bit.ly/40OTYYs

Gloria Grahame as Margie (in a sheer blouse) offers a cup of tea to a rumpled Nick (Robert Mitchum) in MACAO from 1952.

Good day to all those who celebrate Robert Mitchum's birthday! Here he is with the glorious Gloria Grahame in MACAO (1952), an oddball sorta-noir with a lot of snappy lines.
Nick: Ah, the lady of the loaded dice.
Margie: You're up early for a loser.
Nick: Can't make a dishonest dollar lying in bed.
