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.
Two more Art Davis directed shorts that are all time faves are "Dough Ray Me-ow" and "Odor of the Day" (both 1948). ❤️❤️
A friend and I constantly repeat a line from "Dough Ray Me-ow" ("Breathe, stupid, breathe! You forgot to breathe again!" - when we do something stupid).

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

And now they aired "Duck Dogers in the 24-1/2 Century." Articles online mention that George Lucas wanted to show this before Star Wars in 1977. Right, didn't happen bc of rights issues or whatever. BUT it *DID* show with Star Wars on its "2nd run" release. I saw it! (Or maybe w a later SW film?)

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.

This was so fun. All we neighborhood kids would take it up to the end of the street and ride it down the sidewalk to about my house ten houses down. Not a steep hill, barely sufficient grade for gravity to build any momentum. A "Flexy."

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."

I would have loved to have made this. (Seen in a vintage shop in Sebastopol California.) I very nearly bought this.

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. ❤️

In the very first series episode of Columbo (S1E1; 1971), one of my teen crushes had a bit part. Anitra Ford, who the year after this acting role became one of the models on The Price Is Right (where I learned of her).

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.

A #photography teacher (1980s) said: in #b&w the eye goes first to the most complex geometry or brightest highlight; in color, to the boldest or most contrasting color. #Boston #filmphoto

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!"

I fear that they'll make him look like a kook like in Ed Wood. He was a serious actor for about 30 years before Dracula, appearing in Shakespeare, Broadway (in productions other than Dracula), started acting companies, many films, etc. And not unattractive.

I saw Polyester with the Scratch & Sniff card. (Castro Theatre, San Francisco) I kept it for awhile but lost it eventually.

The episodes of Wild Wild West with Michael Dunn were hands-down the best episodes. 👍

This is from "Out of the Dark" (1989). Because Divine is in it, I decided to watch. But I was surprised to see an even more fave actor in it: Bud Cort! (Harold of my fave movie Harold and Maude.) Plus Karen Black, Geoffrey Lewis & more. Average slasher mystery that suitably sets up various suspects.
