In Todays Sunday Silent Cinema is a film from 1915 starring Theda Bara was a big early star of movies but sadly this is one of the very few if not the only one that still exists.

@mcuban.bsky.social you need to buy MSNBC so we have at least one media source that won’t be owned by Trumpettes

Finally going to see this. I saw Dylan in Chicago which was the opening night of his tour being reunited with “The Band” It was the only show on that tour where Dylan stayed in stage and joined in on all The Band songs they did that night. January 3 1974

It’s Wednesday. Time for my weekly trip down the dark alley to that Film Noir Theatre again. This time it’s a film from 1961. From Germany. A picture set in the period right after WW2. It’s Brilliant. And undoubtably Noir.

Tonight is Pre-Code night and I have one I recorded from TCM. A 1933 Frank Capra picture.

Tonight it’s an old Michael Shayne mystery then several Classic TV series Ive been watching.

@eddiemuller.bsky.social Gonna do a book signing of Dark City Dames at Larry Edmund’s so I can purchase mail order?

Tonight it’s a Pre-Code film and it’s an early talkie from 1929. A disaster film.

Now that my Sunday afternoons are free till fall it’s time once again to reopen the old Sunday Silent Cinema. Today we start with a film from 1929 “Why be Good?” Followed by two early Stan Laurel (before Oliver) shorts”Gas and Air” and then “A Man About Town.”

Tonight’s Viewings

I must not be wording this right. Lemme try again. There is only one (1) office (not even an institute) at the NIH dedicated to women’s health research. That office is now being dismantled, with only a bland landing page remaining on their website. This is a five-alarm fire! orwh.od.nih.gov

Tonight rewatching an all time favorite. Yes there isn’t a whole lot that’s completely true but for me it’s this music and performances. The three of them played live right onto the soundtrack. And Gary Busey becomes Buddy Holly.

@support.bsky.team I have blocked around 400 friend requests from accounts claiming to be young women etc etc. is there a way for me to remove them as following me? It shows I have 2000 followers. It’s no where close to that.

Watched this little gem of a film tonight.

Getting 30-50 new “followers a day who have profile pics of young ladies that are just trolling. I just block them but it’s starting to take A LOT of time. I turned off DMs because they were flooding me. Is this all this site has become???

First time viewing. Starting this classic series.

I am starting to wonder what is happening on this app. I am just short of 900 followers. I post movie posts and the most I’ve gotten is one like. Every day I get 15-20 new “followers “ who are all supposed to be young women who immediately send me DMs wanting to chat.

Wow... MAGA is so screwed up!

Conservative censoriousness is holding Florida back floridaphoenix.com/2024/12/23/c...

Idk what it is, but this picture fascinates me. JFK just pulled up to Appalachia and said, “I want you to tell me what you need.” Call me crazy, because yes, times are different, but I see the vision. We need more of this!

Merry Christmas
