A 1980's movie being advertised as "in color"?

I'm going to choose to assume the letters were stuck and couldn't be removed. Because if it was intended to be tongue-in-cheek, I would hope they would have gone the whole mile and advertised as "All Talking! With synchronized sound and music!"

Watched my 5000th movie* according to @letterboxd.social. Decided on Meet Me In St Louis, cause I wanted something festive.

(*probably more like 3000, since letterboxd considers shorts and various TV episodes to be films)

I've spent the last 3 years animating episode 1 of the Daleks' Master Plan for its 60th anniversary today! Yes, we had a slight technical hitch when I realised I'd uploaded the wrong version of the file, but we're good now!

And you might want to keep watching to the very end..

A real-time Hammer heist thriller, starring Peter Cushing, that's a loose adaptation of A Christmas Carol, and is widely regarded as one of Hammer's best films?

Hammer do crazy with class, tense and tautly twisted around a vulnerable Scott and unstable Reed. Strikingly shot, dark and deliciously chilling. 1963.

TCM is showing a film about a Kansas girl who runs away from home to protect her dog, accidentally kills someone, and hangs out with 3 strangers in a trippy opium field. If you love #WizardOfOz they’re broadcasting it twice within 24 hours this weekend. @tcmtv.bsky.social #TCMParty

The Mummy 4 is happening! Brendan Fraser and Rachel Weisz are set to return, with Ready or Not directors Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillett are directing.

The fourth film is not a reboot but a sequel that will ignore the 3rd film.

Farewell to Prunella Scales (1932-2025), whose withering takedowns of John Cleese helped make FAWLTY TOWERS one of the most deliciously acerbic sitcoms ever made. #PrunellaScales
