Book Recommendation: Unless Tom Hanks or Seinfeld are in it, I know nothing about baseball. But this book by @gittlitz.bsky.social was incredible & so readable. Not just a history of the Mets but a sociological look at NY history through them & their fans. www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/808034...

On a Jean Arthur kick and just started The Devil and Miss Jones. More movies should start with sarcastic disclaimers to rich men.

This one hurts. Sam Neill, a true legend and remarkable man. His work was a huge part of my growing up from JURASSIC PARK to THE HUNT FOR RED OCTOBER. He left behind some incredible performances for us to continue to watch over and over. Thanks, Sam. ❤️

After hearing the @mpotpod.bsky.social episode about YOR, THE HUNTER FROM THE FUTURE, I just had to find it and watch it. Thanks @robogeek.bsky.social, @okbjgm.bsky.social, and @producerbrad.bsky.social for bringing this magic (and theme song) into my life. Can't wait for the new season!

Not enough people are talking about THE BRIDE! Anyone else see it? I thought it was absolutely insane, bold, and a wild ride. Dying to see it again. Thoughts?

Alison C. Wroblewski @alisonwroby.bsky.social · 12/02/2026

There are not enough people talking about THE TESTAMENT OF ANN LEE. I thought this film was strikingly beautiful. Every shot a renaissance painting. And the performances were stellar! Plus the musical-esque quality of the storytelling was a bold swing that I adored. Who else has seen this? Thoughts?

Friends, writers, optimists, lend me your ears. If you have not yet seen RENTAL FAMILY, I urge you to. First time in a long time I felt hopeful leaving the cinema. A warm and genuine film. And we must protect Brenden Fraser at all costs.

Alison C. Wroblewski @alisonwroby.bsky.social · 29/09/2025

What a heart warming movie, ELEANOR THE GREAT. Definitely check this one out for a stellar character study and remarkable raw emotions that run the gamut. Beautifully done and June Squibb is a delight.

Alison C. Wroblewski @alisonwroby.bsky.social · 02/09/2025

Book Recommendation: @daynadirector.bsky.social has written an incredible and pop-off-the-page novelization of the '60s horror movie SPIDER BABY. What a weirdly awesome story told in an immersive and creepy way. Congrats, Dayna! Background spider actor was fully on board for this photo. 🕷️

Book Recommendation: Want to time travel back to the summer of '82? This book covers the journeys of 8 genre movies to the screen. Highly, highly recommend! And if that's not enough, check out the "Multiplex Overthruster" podcast with @okbjgm.bsky.social & @robogeek.bsky.social for tons more! 💛 🎬

Book Recommendation: If you're a fan of SNL, or even if you're not, LORNE was an incredible BTS and biographical read. Bouncing back and forth in time for a full look at how the SNL sausage is made, this book was a feat. Highly recommend. Then make sure you watch the "SATURDAY NIGHT" movie!

I finished reading James A. Michener's SPACE over the weekend, and I pulled out this quote. "An age is called Dark not because the light fails to shine, but because people refuse to see it." Published in 1982.

No writer is a failure until they are dead. Full stop. A career in writing is built over decades. It's built like a house, brick by brick, book by book. Not published yet? Emphasis on YET. Book not selling? It's not selling YET. You're only done when you quit. And I don't think you're ready to quit

Book Recommendation: We lost a great cinematic master this last week. In honor of David Lynch, I highly recommend his half-autobiography/half-biography. One of the best books I've read on a director and written in a way only Lynch could do.

Alison C. Wroblewski @alisonwroby.bsky.social · 31/12/2024

Book Recommendation: For the last of 2024, I highly recommend this breakdown of "what is scary" and "how does horror work." King breaks down dozens of films, TV shows, and novels to explain structure and what makes good horror. Yes, it's dated, but still relevant! Write on, folks!

Alison C. Wroblewski @alisonwroby.bsky.social · 22/12/2024

Book Recommendation: This was an awesome dive into the romantic lives of the Stevensons & their extraordinary work. The traveled all over the world & seemed to live hundreds of lives apart & together. Their creative work was almost minor in comparison...almost. A lovely read for literature fans.

Alison C. Wroblewski @alisonwroby.bsky.social · 17/12/2024

Book Recommendation: A fascinating & intimate look of the life that made the man. While there are some years that seem to be missing, Pacino delivers a moving, tender, & eye-opening recount on what drove him to be carefree but determined. Get the audiobook, if you can. It's read by Pacino himself.

022

Alison C. Wroblewski @alisonwroby.bsky.social · 16/12/2024

Book Recommendation: If you love old Hollywood and reading about how movies are made, if you enjoy reading history, and if you want to find out about how Edna Ferber pissed off some Texans, this was a great read. A snapshot into the behind the scenes and impact from this fantastic film.

Alison C. Wroblewski @alisonwroby.bsky.social · 11/12/2024

Has anyone else seen Guy Pearce's "A Christmas Carol"? I love this dark adaptation and wondering who else has seen it!

Alison C. Wroblewski @alisonwroby.bsky.social · 06/12/2024

Book recommendation: I absolutely recommended this to some, but let me recommend to all. This book is a chef's kiss homage and love letter to Shakespeare and his work. And Judi is a spark! Get the audiobook, if you can, she is hysterical reading herself. Her laugh and love of the man is infectious.

010

Alison C. Wroblewski @alisonwroby.bsky.social · 29/11/2024

Book Recommendation! For anyone who loves reality TV (or doesn't and just loves Hollywood history), this book was awesome. From radio plays to today's... political climate, this was in-depth and behind-the-curtain exposing. Highly recommend.

000

Alison C. Wroblewski @alisonwroby.bsky.social · 25/11/2024

Book Recommendation Time: If you're a Babs fan or not, this book is in depth & fascinating! An inside look, not only of her life, but also Hollywood/Broadway. Not to mention the music industry. Her resilience & tenacity are infectious, & if you get the audiobook, she reads it herself! 💛

Alison C. Wroblewski @alisonwroby.bsky.social · 15/11/2024

Re-entering the social media world w/ some of my favorite books I read this year. If you love Hollywood history as much as I do, this is a fantastic read! This covers the MCU from the very beginning through Phase 4 & doesn't hold back! A deep dive into how the Marvel sausage is made.

If you're looking for a masterclass in dialogue and nuance, a must-see is ANATOMY OF A FALL. Incredible performances and a real nail-biting script.

Alison C. Wroblewski @alisonwroby.bsky.social · 06/11/2023

What an amazing movie! Glued from the first minute -- all the way until the 206th minute. A beautiful masterpiece.

Who else has seen this?? It's awesome! Highly recommend! Can't believe this was never on my radar before!

If you're into Hollywood history, this bio is incredible. An insight into a mysterious figure in Hollywood lore. I'm a huge fan of THE DEER HUNTER, & this offers some insane insight along w/ just how cruel the Hollywood machine can be. I'm so looking forward to reading Steven Bach's FINAL CUT next.

Alison C. Wroblewski @alisonwroby.bsky.social · 19/10/2023

I haven't been this enamored with a TV show in ages. This was "chef's kiss" amazing. Every episode was a masterclass. As a life-long Poe fan, I was floored. A must-... no. A now-watch.

Alison C. Wroblewski @alisonwroby.bsky.social · 29/09/2023

Catching up on movies that are on my "I'm embarrassed I haven't seen this" list. THE LAST PICTURE SHOW (1971) What a fantastic film. Really beautiful, & I can only imagine what the previous generation thought when it was released. Reminded me of GIANT (1956) or EAST OF EDEN (1955) but for the 70s.

Alison C. Wroblewski @alisonwroby.bsky.social · 22/09/2023

They aren't ironed, and I will not confess how long these all took me to do, but I will say it is pretty cool to see them finished. I'm working on cross-stitching a star destroyer next.

I love finding rec. reading on socials, so I'm sharing some of my recent reads. SOLID IVORY by James Ivory If you love Hollywood autobiographies, this is a lovely look at James Ivory's life and his journey with the classic "Merchant Ivory Films" that are so iconic. 🎥 🎬

I find great book recs on socials, so I'm sharing my recent reads. If you like Scooby-Doo, if you like comic books, if you like mysteries & seeing just how much worse it can get for characters--do I have a book for you! This was an awesome adventure. Very different from my normal reads, but a blast!

Alison C. Wroblewski @alisonwroby.bsky.social · 14/08/2023

If you liked OPPENHEIMER or if you like history -- this book is amazing. And what I like the most is how close Nolan kept to history. This is what motivates me to keep writing what I like to write -- stranger than fiction history. The story is right there. Amazing book, extraordinary film.
