Books. Movies. Books about movies. Movies about anything. He/him. Seem to be drawn mostly to crime (film noir, Krimi, all kinds of capers) and classic comedy. Developing a bit of a James Mason fixation.

Is it just me, or does this look remarkably like Batman carved into the base of the doorway to Glasgow University's Victorian-era Randolph Buildings?

50+ years ago we sometimes sat on the edge of the pavement and dug up melting tar with an ice lolly stick. On the downside, people grogged on you more than you like to remember.

Every time this kind of thing comes round it's because the people saying this are remembering being kids and of course the world seems better when someone else is worrying about taking care of you and you can spend most of your time just riding bikes.
Ah the 1970s.
Stagflation, three day weeks, collapsing infrastructure. Civil War in Northern Ireland. In yer face racism and bigotry everywhere. Bin strikes. Strikes in general. Blackouts. Industrial decline. Wage inequality. Dog crap everywhere. And households spent 25% of their income on food.

Hot take: 1960s Dr Mabuse is a rubbish criminal mastermind and being insane is no excuse.

Concern that he may not have “earned” all the medals he was wearing is an interesting objection to this apparent saddo. What’s the stance on fawning and scraping to someone who was “given them like sweeties by his mum”?

Working my way through this set. Dr Mabuse drowned at the end of the first film and got blown to smithereens at the end of the second, so I guess we won’t be seeing him again. Phew!

The scene in which the kid composes 'Ben' is perhaps one of the greatest fake composition scenes in cinema. Certainly better than Jeremy Allen White dicking around with his 4 track www.youtube.com/watch?v=JfCL...

Goes to the secret cinema in the catacombs and eats Turkish delight.
Loving today's news that the mysterious "fedora man" outside the Louvre heist was actually a 15-year-old museum visitor who dresses like a 1940s French detective all the time, just because. apnews.com/article/louv...

You might enjoy these quotes from Falk talking in general about Columbo's "reaching into pockets" business. (In that same interview he told me about directing "Blueprint for Murder" and getting help from Cassavetes and Spielberg.)
