Reposted by PunkyfinsA Damn Fine Cup of Culture @damnfinecupculture.bsky.social · 11/09/2026"The saving grace of movies like these is that they don’t take themselves very seriously. They’re self-consciously genre movies.

Reposted by PunkyfinsRobin Baker @robinalexbaker.bsky.social · 29/08/2026Ingrid Bergman was born OTD in 1915. This is probably my favourite photograph of her. It was taken by Gordon Parks while Bergman and Roberto Rossellini were filming STROMBOLI (1950). It perfectly captures the judgement and scrutiny that Bergman was experiencing due to her affair with Rossellini. 2174

Overlapping cuts continuously repeat key actions - take-offs, descents, and landings -across shifting camera angles, while the slow-motion additionally expands duration. 1219

There are some surprises here, though we'll never know if some of the choices are those of the star - or of the publicist. 1/10. The greatest of them all: Eve Arnold’s photo of Marilyn Monroe reading James Joyce’s Ulysses. 1625750
