It is indeed, Dave! As funny as this movie is, there are multiple sequences like the one above and the skating scene that are so beautiful.

This sequence from the 1969 film, A Boy Named Charlie Brown where Schroeder performs Beethoven's Piano Sonata No. 8, is one of the most elegant and stunning animated moments we've ever seen. You feel that Melendez and his team were inspired by 60s Soviet animation. youtu.be/6CK5AJzXdD8?...

Rest in peace to the wonderful, Eva Marie Saint 💙 We love the way she underplayed her performance with Brando this scene from On the Waterfront. Such a tremendous talent. youtu.be/xlXjUmPL1qQ?...

Just up on @ink19.bsky.social is our review of Julia Loktev's My Undesirable Friends Part II - Exile, the powerful follow-up to Loktev's 2024 doc on the last independent TV news station in Russia. Exile traces the struggles of the journalists who scattered across the globe post-Ukraine invasion.

Thank you! The staff is so welcoming and helpful and the projection of Manhunter was outstanding! We're thrilled to see more films during our visit.

We're tabling our newest comic at the @nashcomicartfest.bsky.social on Saturday, but tonight, we had to visit the @belcourttheatre.bsky.social to see the new restoration of Michael Mann's Manhunter! Amazing theater they have here! Good folks.

As today is National Silent Film Day, we have to post the trailer for one of our favorites, Limite, from 1931. It's incredible. Mário Peixoto directed this when he was in his early 20s, and yet, he had the touch of a master filmmaker. #NationalSilentFilmDay youtu.be/-YfncdKsAqs?...

Rest in power to Slinger Francisco, known to us all as The Mighty Sparrow ORTT CM OBE, who passed today at 91. Sparrow was The Calypso King of the World.

So glad you liked it, Sean, and we're very happy that many of the the protagonists of her previous film were there tonight and all of them are still with us, especially after what happened to Lena.

A great review by Lindsay of a book that we loved as children! So glad that D&Q reissued it.

Lily and Generoso (plasticgrapes) @plasticgrapes.bsky.social · 27/09/2026

We just saw and reviewing it this weekend! You'll love it, Sean. Not as intense as the part one, which was top ten for us last year, but no less engrossing as the journalists are scattered throughout the globe.

Thanks, Ken! I (Generoso here) remember Fightin' Army from when I was a kid. It was set during the Korean War, no?

13 years ago today, I, a Hershey Bar named Generoso, married a crunchy jar of Skippy peanut butter named Lily at Sun Studios in Memphis, Tennessee. We've lived happily ever since. Lily is the best human I've ever known and she also designed and sewed these ridiculous costumes together herself!

Thank you, Andy! We met several hundred years ago at a radio station where we both doing Jamaican music programs! It's been a blast since :)

Happy happy anniversary to Generoso, my partner in all things! Thank you for always knowing how to make me laugh and for encouraging me to enjoy life! Let's dance the ska for many more decades!!!

Very well put, @horrorposterguy1.bsky.social! Also, we read in 2021, that Romero's 3.5 hour B&W director's cut surfaced, but we can't find any more information about its restoration. Have you read anything about a release?

Lily and Generoso (plasticgrapes) @plasticgrapes.bsky.social · 25/09/2026

Halloween month is almost here, and we have to echo the sentiments below from @horrorposterguy1.bsky.social about our favorite Romero film, Martin! If you've not seen it, this is an ugly watch that makes sharp comments on addiction, class, and race that fit that era/region perfectly.

020

Lily and Generoso (plasticgrapes) @plasticgrapes.bsky.social · 25/09/2026

We 100% agree with you here! Martin is one of Romero's masterpieces. It's an ugly film that makes very smart comments on race and class that were spot on for the era. Small details, like who gets to deliver groceries, ring huge here.

A fabulous review by Lindsay Pereira for @brokenfrontier.bsky.social of Mark Alan Stamaty's Who Needs Donuts?, a stunningly illustrated book from 1973 that I'm forever grateful that my hippie librarian in South Philly put on the shelves when I was a kid!

Michelle asked him for what he looked for in a project that compelled him to produce it, to which Thomas responded... "An enthusiastic filmmaker and a good script are something I can work with, but a great script with an unenthusiastic director I can't." He would know. Thank you, Mr. Thomas.

Rest in peace, Jeremy Thomas 💙 Back in 2008, my friend Michelle and I attended Thomas' Coolidge Award presentation. A brilliant producer who helmed The Last Emporer and Naked Lunch, we spoke with him after the event and he gave us advice as young filmmakers that we've kept with us ever since.
