Good news! The Paper was renewed for a second season the day before the first season premiered

After last weekend’s convention, I’ll need to start another page for autographs. The first autograph I got in the book was Carole Ann Ford at Whovent 85 which is why her signature is so large. #DoctorWho

Definitely a homage. Wish I had taken a bunch of those stickers 😀

While I lean toward brunettes and redheads, this is still a fun movie

Some days are just so bad that the only thing that can save your night is FAST TIMES AT RIDGEMONT TIMES. But it’s not streaming on any subscription services. Fear not! The Blu-ray is on my shelf. Physical media matters 😀

I’ve been able to go to all of the movies so far! Tonight T2 & THE RUNNING MAN

Tonight’s Horror at the Hiway secret screening is about to start. Based on the clues I believe it is an early film from New Zealand’d most famous director

After being a bit disappointed with MICKEY 17, it’s time for some ‘rassling history. #QueenoftheRing

When my time comes, my wish is to be cremated. But if I was going to need an epitaph, this one from THE ROYAL TENENBAUMS would get my approval.

Looks like I’m the only one seeing RIFF RAFF tonight. Of course, there was no promotion for the film.

THE FRENCH CONNECTION, THE CONVERSATION, MISSISSIPPI BURNING, UNFORGIVEN and THE ROYAL TENENBAUMS - My 5 favorite Hackman performances, could easily be another 10

Watching an episode of PERRY MASON and the great James Hong is among the guest cast. He plays a lawyer who is the executor of an estate. The episode aired November 21, 1963 - the day before JFK was assassinated in Dallas.

Intermission

Mmmmm…a cup of coffee and slice of blueberry pie at a dinner soothes the soul

Tempted to buy this model kit

This depresses me to no end.

My most watched actors & directors of 2024

Wishing everyone a very happy New Year. Going to start a rewatch of the James Bond films. Maybe EON will announce a new film in 2025

After rewatching Peter Jackson’s self-indulgent Hobbit trilogy, I read the book for the first time in decades. J.R.R. Tolkien’s novel remains entertaining. There’s no reason for Jackson to stretch the story to 3 movies no matter how much material is imported from other writings.

Thanks for reminding me that I have to watch ST. IVES. Plus I kinda want that robe.

Gotta have a gimmick to sell new editions. LOL

Ten years ago today, I made the decision to watch/rewatch every movie in the book "1001 Movies You Must See Before You Die." My enthusiasm for this project has ebbed and flowed over the years. After a decade, I'm at 60% watched, 754 out of 1,245 movies. The count includes every edition of the book

4. THEY WON'T FORGET (1937)

Happy Doctor Who Day to all who celebrate. I will be forever grateful to this fandom for how many great people it has brought into my life. You are all wonderful. It’ probably pretty clear which two episodes I’ll be watching tonight from these box sets

My vote would be Henry V

I only have a few VHS left. One is a Doctor Who marathon with current then current Doctor Sylvester McCoy in studio for pledge breaks. Those Maxell tapes were my jam. I had so many of those at one time

BORDERLANDS is not a good film, but it almost worth watching to see Cate Blanchett embrace her inner action hero

Never mind, it isn’t being released until January

Paddington in Peru

The movies I’ve owned on every format are CASABLANCA and JAWS. I’m sure LAWRENCE OF ARABIA will join the club, but that might be all. I was an early adapter to LaserDisc & had very few VHS. PSYCHO comes close, but never bought the Laser
