Tomorrow night on TCM: two of the best Joan Crawford perfs you will ever see in QUEEN BEE & AUTUMN LEAVES—the former an awesome demonstration of her ability to command the screen & dominate a film; the latter a tour de force of her acting chops. Both seen on the rec of @selfstyledsiren.bsky.social

Yeah, they were dancing and singing
And moving to the grooving
And just when it hit me
Somebody turned around and shouted…

So great to see it on the big screen. This time around, was struck by how Jean Heather as Lola was the perfect counterpoint to the leads. A role that could have gone all mushy cut like a knife.

I was a debate kid and what I learned is that the best people at arguing do not believe or care about what they’re saying.
People love to talk about how awful theater kids are, and they’re not wrong, but let’s be real, debate kids have made this country a lot worse

Nice size crowd—lots of people who hadn’t seen it. Great to talk to @eddiemuller.bsky.social about Playgirl, Canon City, Hugo Fregonese, and seeing Smog last year.
Got tickets for The Reckless Moment at #NoirCity Philadelphia.

❤️Linklater’s Nouvelle Vague.
It's about living in a moment when it feels like the stars align and nothing will be the same, and how all creative collaborations are really love stories--with all the happiness and rockiness that implies.
Maybe not a great movie, but a wonderful one.

Last night’s Japanese noir : Masuda’s Rusty Knife (1958). Low-budget, and there were greater Nikkatsu noirs to come, but still plenty atmospheric with jolts of New Wave energy and violence. Throw young, pre-implantation Joe Shishido from the train!
