Todd MacEwen 🇨🇦 @tmacewen44.bsky.social · 19/03/2026Has there ever been one iota of evidence of the brilliant leadership and incisive tactical mind that every cabinet official claims is steering the mighty ship of state.

Todd MacEwen 🇨🇦 @tmacewen44.bsky.social · 18/03/2026DVR Cleanup Day #5 Narrow Margin-Great little noir that does its job in 71 minutes with little fuss and zingy dialogue. And Marie Windsor - wow! Easy to see why she was cast in roles where men lied, cheated, robbed, and killed for her. “A bucket of coffee and some cigarettes. I’m famished.” #filmsky 010
Todd MacEwen 🇨🇦 @tmacewen44.bsky.social · 17/03/2026DVR Cleanup Day #4 My Favorite Year Acting from the cast was a bit broad which fits for a movie about 1950s comedy/variety television but Peter O’Toole is having a blast as a washed up B movie swashbuckling movie star. “So is this ma’am but I occasionally have to run a little water through it.” #TCM 000
Todd MacEwen 🇨🇦 @tmacewen44.bsky.social · 17/03/2026DVR Cleanup Day 4 - comedy doubleheader with The Fortune Cookie up first. Hard to think of an actor as versatile as Jack Lemmon who can move between comedy and drama so effortlessly-Tom Hanks must have been taking notes. And Matthau’s shady shyster is so much fun. #TCM 010
Todd MacEwen 🇨🇦 @tmacewen44.bsky.social · 16/03/2026DVR Cleanup Day #3 - Mutiny on the Bounty (1962) - Richard Harris is a delight, Trevor Howard deserved an Oscar nom for the unyielding take on Bligh, production values and photography are amazing and Marlon Brando makes a ton of interesting choices but his charisma is off the charts. #TCM #movies 001

Todd MacEwen 🇨🇦 @tmacewen44.bsky.social · 29/09/2025#REMtop30 Sweetness Follows-Automatic for the People The most direct, heartfelt, deep, sorrowful and beautiful song they’ve recorded.

Todd MacEwen 🇨🇦 @tmacewen44.bsky.social · 28/09/2025#REMtop30 Drive - Automatic for the People Automatic IMO is start to finish their best album as it just sounds so of one piece and the opener conveys the confidence the band brings to the album and the strings working with the guitar is just perfection. m.youtube.com/watch?v=-UE7...m.youtube.comR.E.M. - Drive (Official HD Music Video)YouTube video by remhq 170
Todd MacEwen 🇨🇦 @tmacewen44.bsky.social · 27/09/2025#REMtop30 Find the River - Automatic for the People Whatever journey their albums take, they seem to try to end on a positive note and this song nails that. “We’re closer now than light years to go” may be my favourite line ever. m.youtube.com/watch?v=KIJG...m.youtube.comR.E.M. - Find The River (Official Music Video) [Parallel Video Version]YouTube video by remhq 0180
Todd MacEwen 🇨🇦 @tmacewen44.bsky.social · 26/09/2025#REMtop30 Nightswimming -Automatic for the People There’s nothing on this album that doesn’t work perfectly in and out of context. But for my ears the next four songs go places that most music doesn’t approach and captures a feeling or a mood in both lyric and music. m.youtube.com/watch?v=ahJ6...m.youtube.comR.E.M. - Nightswimming (Official Music Video) [British Version]YouTube video by remhq 0210
