Re-watched Val Lewton's THE BODY SNATCHER (1945) and realized it's Boris Karloff having a dialog with his most famous work, FRANKENSTEIN (1931). I'm even more in awe of the film now. (Reading Mary Shelly's Frankenstein and seeing the del Toro movie really helped me with the revelation.)
A man with sideburns talking to another man with his back turned to the camera. The subtitles read, "You can't build life the way you put blocks together, Toddy." From the film, "The Body Snatcher" (1945). A man with sideburns talking to another man with his back turned to the camera. The subtitles read, "It's only the dead ones you know."

I realize it's a pretty boring episode now, but these green people staring at Kirk through the view screens freaked me the f-- out when I was a kid.

He looks like Alec Guinness in Doctor Zhivago. He needs one of those hats for that Chicago winter tho. (Alec has the same hairstyle in that movie when he's not wearing the ushanka.)

I almost has as much fun making this trailer for the #Halloween episode of @oldmoviesystoners.bsky.social as I did recording it! And you'll have fun listening to it too. Now streaming on Apple and other pod apps.

Losing so many followers staring now....
Man (center) with his girlfriend (right) turns away from his girlfriend to stare at the backside of other woman (left) walking by in a variation of the distracted boyfriend meme. The girlfriend has a disgusted look on her face. Caption for the man reads: "Critical Establishment." Caption under the girlfriend reads: "Sinners." Caption under the other woman reads" "One Battle After Another."

They're governing based on 80s action movie fantasies, but the rest of us don't have to go along with it.
