Just a late night reminder that if you’re getting into the films of Mira Nair, she’s one of the interview subjects of my book CINEMA HER WAY, which is still in stores now and would make a great Christmas gift.

“For top flight male charm which includes practically all of the desirable attributes, Ida [Lupino] picks President Roosevelt. ‘I admire him for his deep understanding, his tolerance, his great sense of humor,’ she explains. ‘He gives you a feeling of integrity, reliability, wisdom.’”

For some unknown reason, I had never seen DIABOLIQUE. (I know! 😔) Saw it on film @newbeverly.bsky.social and loved it. So many unexpected twists on the usual noir/crime formula!

Every few weeks we gotta make posts like this”call your dem reps to tell them to not vote to allow Lord Killdude to shove people into a volcano” and then the dem reps go “we’ve made an amazing deal where Lord Killdude can have his volcano so long as he promises not to shove people into it”

TIL: The term “mean street” comes from Mary Shelley in Frankenstein. Is that correct, Lit scholars? Certainly the earliest work where I’ve ever seen it. (*Finally* getting to the book, thanks to GDT.)
