A ginger tabby cat perched in a Wassily chair. He is sad because the girl cat he likes is hiding below the coffee table.

Miles says “Happy #caturday”

'Nuff said!

I have seen those! I laughed to see that one opera company is using "TIMOTHEE" as a discount code.

Yes indeed! Have I seen Ah, Wilderness? I don't think I've seen Ah, Wilderness. Will rectify.

An old building which is not the Waterpoort, which is nearby, but which (I think) has something to do with water. Anyhow, it has googly eyes; not sure if this is intentional. You never know with Belgians.

No, I don't believe he was. Do you remember him in The Silver Cord?

#Caturday with another pre-coder cuddling a cat called Washy. - and with a larger cat with matching"coats".

Just watched and loved him in Big City Blues.

ha ha, yes, this is His Sort of Thing, I think

Linden is in a rattan chair, wearing just a bathing suit, with his legs propped on the railing and the cat curled up on his tummy.

Your #Caturday timeline beautifier: handsome Eric Linden, who had a string of good roles in such pre-code gems as The Crowd Roars, Afraid to Talk, and The Silver Cord, relaxes on a deck with a happy tabby.

I didn't care for the movie, or her in it I'm afraid. If I had a vote it would go to Rose Byrne or Renate Reinsve (since Amanda Seyfried wasn't nominated). I think I'm definitely going to be disappointed!

LOL, yeah, me too. The world is so awful at the moment that "edgy" feels too easy at times. Kindness, warmth, a little sentiment, done in a way that feels real—that's a high degree of difficulty right now.

Over the past few years I've started really enjoying the TV series. It's especially fun to see which ones he directed, or clearly had more of a hand in. The overall level is very high.

ppl think of Hitchcock as this director guy but he was doing Presents, he had a mystery magazine, he had a tie in book series about 3 kids who solve crimes from a caravan in a junkyard and do pyramid scheme marketing then for some reason expose the crimes to Alfred Hitchcock, man was hustling 24/7

I should start teaching the youngest to do that. The other two make about a meal a week when they're home. My daughter enjoys cooking and uses us to try out new ideas.

That really does seem reasonable.

Yes, although as a film critic that's kind of my job. I tend to dislike movies (or books) that strike me as misanthropic, mean, or snobbish, even if I can see the energy and the individuality that went into them.

yes, I think I overestimate how much they care about having something often.

I envy people who have real leftovers. With two men in the house (at times three), leftovers are sparse and the life expectancy in the fridge is less than 12 hours. Unless I want to cook every day like it's a church potluck. 😂

This is me, but I'm starting to think I'm spoiling them, LOL!

Question for Bluesky cooks: when you've found an easy, affordable meal that the household likes, how many times a month do you tend to make it?

Album cover Joni in a black beret, holding a cigarette. A landscape with a road disappearing into the background is superimposed on her.

One of the greatest LP covers of them all: Joni Mitchell's Hejira, by Norman Seeff, 1976

OTD, 1953

Oh god yes, Hilliard's a pain and Scott is visibly uncomfortable. RKO just wouldn't let go of the bizarre notion that Fred and Ginger needed another couple to bolster the plot.

Not at all, although I haven't seen much else. She's good in No Man of Her Own (with Gable and Lombard before they were a couple). I saw The Reckless Hour but don't recall much about it.

As usual you are not wrong about the dress, but her hair and makeup are so lovely I can live with it?

Photo has the yellowed old-paper tint. Mackaill's hair is down, she is looking at the camera and holding what appears to be a silk shawl around her shoulders (and not much else)

A striking fan-magazine portrait of actress Dorothy Mackaill, 1923. She was #BornThisDay in 1903, in Kingston upon Hull, U.K. Much of her silent work is lost, but SAFE IN HELL (1931) is brilliant and easy to find.
