I'm not here for politics but for movies, art & humor. If those are the focus of your acct I'll probably follow. I'll likely also post about the mindf*ck of getting older.

... Regarding the suggestion in the article: a "reboot" to update it to modern warfare and current-day issues would simply require an entirely new series, not a "reboot." A new series could be *inspired* by MASH and loosely follow its format, but that at most.

Reboot MASH? Are you insane? That post must be from a kid who rarely or never watched the show.

A meme. Text: "When you're dating length but girth walks by." Photo: a young male couple holding hands; the fit man on the right is looking shocked at his boyfriend, in the middle, who is looking back over his shoulder admiringly at a stocky large man on the left who is walking by.

😂🍆 I don't think I'm at zero T but it feels like it. It was just over the threshold into "low" a few years ago before my libido since plummeted to just about non-existent. So I like to joke that I probably haven't got a drop of testosterone left. (Yes, been to a urologist.)

The last few years have seen my body really age into its years. One change is the now nearly 100% lack of libido. But you know, I'M GLAD FOR THAT. It's like I'm now free of a curse that's gnawed at me and not taken my "no" for an answer for the last ~55 years. IT'S A RELIEF to be free of that!

The Twilight Zone episode "It's a Good Life" sounds very familiar: "a community under the control of an emotionally undeveloped, psychopathic child. It explores themes of absolute power, the horror of unchecked authority, and the psychological terror of living under a tyrant who is also a child."

TMI: when sitting in my recliner I love putting one hand down my pants to fondle, massage & roll around my foreskin. I think it's more a COMFORTING thing than sexual. Kinda like pulling a blanket up around your body & snuggling under its comfort.

I liked him when I was a kid (in the 1960s) but as an adult I'm not overly fond of him. But that could certainly just be a comment on my adult personality, not him. Today to me his comedy seems too "clean" and old fashioned.

I'm watching "An Unmarried Woman" starring Jill Clayburgh. I last saw this when it was originally released in 1978 (I was 18). I love the simplicity of just setting up the camera in various NYC locations and letting terrific actors perform a good script naturalistically.
Simple movie poster (all white background) of all lower case letters that reads "an unmarried woman" (with the "o" in woman being a wedding ring slightly lower as if it's falling away) and actress Jill Clayburgh sits casually on the word "unmarried," perhaps looking bored or maybe wryly amused.

I'm watching the 1954 movie Creature from the Black Lagoon on a streaming channel. I wish I'd seen it as released initially in the polarized 3D process. Instead, in 1980 I saw it in the cheaper two-color anaglyph process which wasn't effective and hurt my eyes. So now, bucket list: see it polarized.

Not at all surprised that at the end of "Dorothea" on Tubi, the next film that auto-queued up was "Whatever Happened to Baby Jane." Someone who plans these things who works at Tubi "gets it." 🤣👍

2025 movie "Dorothea" about Sacramento serial killer Dorothea Puente is like a 21st century 1960s Bette Davis grande guignol campy horror flick. Murder and a wry humor. If you understand this is what you'll see then you'll likely enjoy the ride. Imagine John Waters directing "Baby Jane." 😂😵 #filmsky

I just watched a 1975 episode of the Carol Burnett Show with her guest Cher. The chemistry between the two is powerful. As if totally comfortable with each other. Friends, with lots of trust. And of course both wearing fabulous Bob Mackie gowns!

Editor to the rescue! I fear that editing is the "invisible" art that many people don't notice. It's yet another element of film to appreciate, like directing, cinematography or music (etc).

Back in the 1960s, new wallets were sold with a sample photo inside the wallet's photo window or photo sleeves. For a time, the photo included was Richard Chamberlain. (He was HUUUGE in the 1960s because of his TV show Dr Kildare.")

Sorry, I did alt-text but it didn't seem to apply. Side-view of an early 1900s car backed up to a house, with Buster in the driver's seat. Then the car chassis slowly pulls forward out from under the seat, still holding Buster, and still attached to the house.

In the #BusterKeaton 20 minute film "One Week" I literally laughed out loud at this hilariously timed gag. Buster is moving his house but it's stuck on railroad tracks and a train is coming. So he nails the back seat of his car to the house to pull it off the tracks. Then this happens. 🤣 #filmsky

One of the great TV performances. Up there with Agnes Moorehead fighting aliens on The Twilight Zone. At about the same time in her career, Jo Van Fleet won the Tony and Oscar.

Actress Jo Van Fleet is over the top brilliant in the Alfred Hitchcock Presents episode "Shopping for Death" (written by Ray Bradbury). She plays a snarly mean neighborhood woman who shouts nonstop abuses at everyone and has a later touching monologue when she reflects on her life.

I'm watching the 1999 movie The Boondock Saints. The script, overwritten into almost parody of tough guy language, and actors over-directed into overacted performances that make the overwritten script even worse, make the experience painful.

To be honest, it wasn't so bad. Some of the editing, directing and effects helped and didn't look terribly awful. Interesting that they gave different takes on scenes from Hitchcock's The Birds like a gas explosion (actually decent effects & directing) and a vague sort of non-ending.
