NEXT WED at #TheNoirCollective: One of the first American films hailed as “noir” – and the most honored, with four Oscars, including Best Picture. @ctmillion.bsky.social and I are hosting THE LOST WEEKEND (1945). What happens when you hunger for the American Dream – but can’t quench your thirst

Folks might recall we were due to host this on September 2, but both Bluesky and Internet Archive were having issues. So I’m going on record here and now as saying that come rain or come shine, come hell or high water, come glitching, come buffering – even if CT and I have to host this damn movie on Zoom using sock puppets – we will be watching THE LOST WEEKEND on October 7, and as God as my witness, we will never be thirsty again.

It’s so helpful when the hero explains everything to us. Saves on all that extraneous acting. #TheNoirCollective #TheGuilty

Five minutes! There was one of those fine-needle rains oozing. The kind that doesn’t fall, that you don’t even see in the air, but that just shows by wetting the surface of the street and tickling the back of your neck. -Cornell Woolrich He Looked Like Murder #TheNoirCollective #TheGuilty

Here for THE GUILTY and to welcome the amazing @marcikay.bsky.social. Here at #TheNoirCollective, we’ve been trying to showcase noir in all shapes and forms. THE GUILTY is our first walk down Poverty Row, and it’s perfect that Marci – with her incredible knowledge – should be the one to guide us. 😊

This movie always cheers me up, especially this number. But check out Betty’s High heels in this number! She was kind of teetering. 😬 Handsome Don Ameche with that great smile & lovely voice and Betty swirling around is always good for what ails me! #tcmparty youtu.be/gFQAlHpPSNU?...

Just now,driving back from a Dr. appt, a little bird was chirping & bobbing like it was stuck to the road. I turned the car around to see if I could help & the car in front of me deliberately ran it over! For a minute there I was gonna chase him down b/c I’m crazy! But, I’m not stupid…just upset 🥺

Sept. 29, 1926: Edouard Bourdet’s “The Captive,” one of the first plays to examine lesbianism, premieres on Broadway. The drama stars Helen Menken as Irene, who enters into a loveless marriage with a man (Basil Rathbone) to hide her consuming love for another woman.

A STAR IS BORN premiered #OTD in 1954. Judy Garland was nominated for an Oscar, but lost to Grace Kelly for THE COUNTRY GIRL. "The biggest robbery since Brink’s," Groucho Marx called it. George Cukor's lavish musical is on Tubi 'til Sept 30 if you'd like to marvel at Judy (and James Mason's) work.
