Happy Birthday to this guy who became a western legend I guess and leftist film twitter and republicans love him for some reason. Here's his cameo in Baby Face (1933) four years before Stagecoach (1939).

I'm a big fan of Preston Sturges writing in scenes of character actor William Demarest having pratfalls outside of windows.

It was wild but unsurprising to learn that one of the elements of the film Baby Face (1933) that scandalized people, leading to the implementation of the hays code, was the fact the main character paid her maid Chico enough money to buy fancy furs during the depression.

Technically many Republicans have admired fascists regimes. Many of them endorsed Benito Mussolini in the 1930s but they were considered weird by most Republicans.

@mrasberry.bsky.social I'm sorry ‏I'm ahmed. My family and I are facing very difficult circumstances in Gaza, and we need your help. Any donation, no matter how small, can make a big difference in our lives. If you can contribute or even share this message, I would be deeply grateful

Preston Sturges was the king of mocking the censors, here are some of my favorite sex jokes he practically flaunted. Would have made the video longer but bluesky wouldn't let me.

It's so funny to me when someone hates my take on a film they love, and even state you should go in with zero expectations, when the only expectation I have is this.

I hate Frank Fay so much that Nothing Sacred (1937) went down half a star in my letterbox rating, even though he has less than 10 minutes of screen time. He's the apotheosis of Golden Age Hollywood scumbags.

In this week’s Directed By Women Viewing Guide: a literary French romance, a doc about a cult musician, an ensemble independent dramedy, a Spanish romantic comedy, an Italian war-set drama, a fantastical short film, and a documentary about kids living in a Palestinian refugee camp in Lebanon.

Finished Nothing Sacred (1937)

Starting Nothing Sacred while it's boring at work and why did they do this to Carole Lombard? That's so mean.

Proud of the fact that when you google the quote "Don't tell me the jive session has beat off without baby!" from Ball of Fire (1941) and incidentally press google images I show up in the results. My hard work of being annoying about that film is paying off.

Watched Mermaids (1990) last night for the first time and loved it. Wrote a short review too. letterboxd.com/mbrasberry/f...

My Darling Clementine (1946) I can't believe I've waited this long to see this masterpiece. A perfect narrative, with superb acting, and one of the best gun fights ever printed on celluloid. Plus you get to see Walter Brennan die which is always satisfying. One of Ford's best!

Just watched The Ox-Bow Incident (1943) and now I don’t feel so good. What a harrowing film to watch.

If I had a nickel for every film William A Wellman made in 1943 about the inherent dangers of patriarchal conservative vigilante justice being dispensed where the method of execution is strangulation I would have two nickels.

It’s really funny the Shampoo (1975) has a downer ending ending with Nixon winning the election of 1968, and it’s never conveyed that any of the liberal characters in the film had actually gone out to vote like the Republican characters in the film did. Self fulfilling prophecy.

Shampoo (1975) is the most introspective film of Warren Beatty's career, as it forces him to reflect on his casual extramarital affairs is a way to circumvent the fact that he can't garner real connections with anyone fearing commitment. Thank god he got over it with Benning.
