Bar none, the best source for 1930s and 1940s cinema this side of archive.org is HBO Max. I worry what will happen when Netflix consumes it.

I don't care enough to track down the PRC films.

Spare me from another goddamn “Mina is Dracula’s reincarnated lost love” adaptation. Mina loves her husband. That’s the love story.

The choices in this film (Blood Orange) are baffling. Tom Conway plays a private detective Tom Conway, but for some reason he's doing a flat and nasal American accent when the whole appeal of Tom Conway is that British purr.

Haven’t done a Letterboxd Friday in a while because my movie viewing has been way down. I was on vacation this week and watched a bunch, though.

I hit an unexpected milestone in my Letterboxd stats. It's been a year since I went a week without logging some kind of film. I only really thought of my film viewing as ramping up in December of 2024, but I guess I was being consistent prior to that.
