One reason 1951 A Christmas Carol received mixed reviews when it first came out in UK was its darkness. People were just NOT expecting something THIS dark at Xmastime.Well,Dickens' father spent time in a workhouse. And his son was shaped by that.Horrors of Industrial Revolution are on full view here

No,it's the HAL-9000 computer from Stanley Kubrick's "2001 - A Space Odyssey",made in 1968. It was the first science fiction film to highlight the potential dangers of AI becoming "self aware". A brilliant film😊

History of "Wonderful Life" was similar to that other perennial Xmas film-"A Christmas Carol"(1951).Made/released in England,it wasn't even seen in North America for several yrs.It came and went.Seemingly.Then a station in NYC began to run it.A LOT🙂It,too,found its audience,as its reputation spread

Pic on the left is what the view of the harbor looked like at peak snowfall. Pic on the right is what it looks like now. As promised,there IS a small island with a lighthouse in this part of the harbor😊

"I'll tell you,woman,I'll have you for wife" - John Wayne as Genghis Khan(😂) in the "classic" film "The Conqueror(1956). Yes,the character actually says this😀And da Duke delivers the line in the same way he always said "Well,I'll tell ya,pilgrim..." Maybe the all time greatest bad film ever made🤣

@dunemythang.bsky.social Skymap for Comet Lemmon.Stops at Nov.7th. But is easily extrapolated for following few days. Need binoculars.At a very dark site,Lemmon may appear as a smudge to naked eye.A guide showing constellations will help. Best time to look starts 45-60 min after sunset,looking west🙂

I wish I had been there to see it in person.But,now that moon is starting to wane,we can all see the comet. Comet Lemmon is low in the western sky about an hour after local sunset. Here's a map from spaceweather. Just need a guide showing the constellations in that part of the sky to orient oneself🙂

@dunemythang.bsky.social I caught the last part of "Boys from Brazil",TCM. It's lost none of its power since its release almost 50 yrs ago.Laurence Olivier is superb(no surprise)as Nazi hunter.Matched every step of the way by Gregory Peck's marvelous work as evil Mengele.One of Peck's greatest,imo👍
