60+ Learning to be old 🤯
@over60m.bsky.social
I'm not here for politics but for movies, art & humor. If those are the focus of your acct I'll probably follow. I'll likely also post about the mindf*ck of getting older.

This is the mood I come to social media to find. Not politics and what's wrong with the world. So if I don't follow back, it's bc I see a lot of politics on your acct.
One of the Warner Brothers #animation directors that never became famous as the others was Art Davis. I can spot his animation style in other directors' films (look for big teeth, like only 3 across the entire mouth) but some of my fave Looney Tunes are his, e.g.:

Mel Blanc was one of the greatest geniuses of the 20th century. The GOAT of voice actors. Period and full stop. #animation #voiceover

What a gift! On MeTV's "MeToons" channel just now they played all three of the "Hunting Trilogy" of "Rabbit Fire," "Rabbit Seasoning," and "Duck! Rabbit, Duck!" (1951, 52, 53.) These three are a master class in comedy: timing, facial expressions, dialogue, wry humor. Directed by legend Chuck Jones.

Massive annoyance: people who add an unnecessary preposition (?) at the end of a question, like:
"Where do you live at?"
"How long was he gone for?"
The sentence is stronger by leaving it off which still conveys the same idea.

I get chronically terrible and insufficient sleep. I'm hoping that some turkey today and overeating in general helps me get at least one night's proper rest. Happy #Thanksgiving 🦃

RIP to one of my idols: German actor Udo Kier. I first became aware of him when I was a teen in the 1970s when I saw him in Flesh For Frankenstein (Andy Warhol's Frankenstein) at a cine in 3D. This line has lived in my head ever since, nearly 50 years now: ❤️❤️

Not even AI recently, but she expresses exactly what I've HATED about any Microsoft product for decades: its constant insistence to "help" by making "corrections," suggestions or formatting automatically. THEY'RE ALWAYS WRONG AND NOT WHAT I WANT. MS products WASTE my time instead of saving my time.

On the episode of All In the Family with Sammy Davis Jr, he kissing Archie Bunker at the end is the celebrated moment. But I think the greater moment, for its wit and implication, is when Archie introduces "My daughter Gloria and her husband Mike." Then Sammy shakes Lionel's hand. "Hello, Mike."

🤣🤣👍 Little gestures like this throughout film history define my character. I've adopted countless of them into my own theatrical personality.

It's an exceptionally vile son of a bitch who would try every possible channel, including the Supreme Court, to willfully and deliberately deny 42 million people food aid and drive them to hunger. Children. Seniors. Disabled. I hope those who voted for him are now suffering.

Getting a medical procedure in the USA is like: going to a restaurant and ordering the $12 burger. You're told that's about what it will cost (if you're even that lucky). You eat the $12 burger then the bill comes and it's $4000. [Next...]

Having recently watched the first episode of Columbo starring Peter Falk, I remembered how much I enjoyed watching the series when it originally aired when I was a pre-teen/teen in the 1970s. There's something so irresistible and perfect about the show that I'm now bingeing the series on Peacock. ❤️

I just watched the very first episode of "Columbo," S1E1 (1971) directed by 24 year old Steven Spielberg. Apparently Peter Falk was initially hesitant about such a young director but kept an open mind and was won over by the kid's talent.

I just now watched the final two episodes of #PokerFace season 2. Terrific, of course. Perhaps not *great*, but still quality and makes me want season 3. Hopefully it'll be produced. 🤞

#Photography offers the chance to shoot and view complexity in both color or #b&w: in b&w, complexity of geometry; in color, contrast of complementary hues and boldness of intensity. (But also notice geometric complexity in color scenes!) Images taken in #California (2), #Boston and #Switzerland.

I can't help think the main reason the "Ocean's" (Eleven, Twelve, Thirteen and apparently Fourteen) movies exist is because probably Clooney said to his friends, "Let's hang out and party and laugh and make a few million each and be pampered on the set. What the heck, let's take advantage!"

1897 film by Edison of the Lurline Baths (1894-1936) near downtown San Francisco that was filled with seawater piped from the ocean about 4 miles away. Initially pumped part way, then gravity sent it the rest of the way.
