I’’ve got one just waiting to slap on my lid! Perhaps we can do a Matthau stare-down contest?!

Whenever someone has a sneezing fit in a theatre, I give ‘em the ol’ Pelham 123 stare.

It’s a pity no one filmed it on their phone back then.

What symbols would be appropriate on an “Old Movie Weirdo Banner”? I vote for Warren William’s moustache and Franklin Pangborn’s pince nez.

Here’s to another year of waving that “Old Movie Weirdo Banner” high and with pride. Happy Birthday, Mr. McKinley!

I guess they weren’t watching those Centron films about stranger danger.

Don’t stare directly in their eyes.

Sadly, I missed it! I became ill with a nasty bug and slept through the event. I am zero for 2, however am determined to join the next one! Any hints to the film?

Who wants to live in a world without Claudia Cardinale? Sigh.

ZAZ had to consult legal to determine what was considered “parody” and what was direct plagiarism. It is amazing to see how much was derived from Zero Hour!

Be on the lookout for Elisha Cook Jr

I watched it again in the last couple of years and I got chills watching the scene when Superman takes Lois out for an evening ‘stroll’. It was a beautiful moment before audiences leaned into cynicism.

We screened ‘Bicycle Thieves” this spring @thewestdale.bsky.social The audience fell in love with Enzo Staiolo’s performance, 77 years after it first appeared on the silver screen. Enzo Staiolo. Riposa in Pace.
