How did Clue know then? Communism is the red herring, be a capitalist & sell everyone's secrets to the highest bidder. 🤨🤦🏻‍♀️🎬

Did I pick up this Die Hard shirt for my husband today at the thrift store?

Yes. 😁
It's not Christmas until you see Hans Gruber fall from Nakatomi Tower t-shirt that I got at the thrift store today for my husband because why yes Die Hard is a Christmas movie and you can find fun unique things by shopping small and local so do it and screw these kind of corporate criminal billionaire aholes. Merry Christmas. Kiss my ass. Happy Hanukkah.

The mean owner in Major League who hates the fucking song when Wild Thing plays is the same way I feel about Faith of the Heart ruining Enterprise. I would love to do another Enterprise rewatch but I can't stand skipping over that damn song again and again. That frigging song is what killed the show I swear.

Sure Barnabas is SO worried about what Quentin will do to Maggie but he's TOTALLY forgotten how he kidnapped, terrorized & brainwashed her before Dr. Hoffman hypnotized her & erased her memory of the whole thing.
So I guess Maggie's safe living at the Old House now. 🤦🏻‍♀️🤣🖤

#NowWatching Dark Shadows 🛌🏻
Barnabas worried about some Victorian memory switch Quentin is playing on Maggie even though he tried to brainwash her into being his Josette but that's all forgotten because that's how Dark Shadows rolls. The dress is pretty sweet though.

I love behind the scenes pics from make up artists on Instagram! Here's Guy Pearce adding more dirt for The Convert, Lee Tamahori's final film that I highly recommend.🎬
Behind the scenes pic on The Convert from award winning makeup artist gabriellejones_ on Instagram of Guy Pearce adding more dirt to his hands. This is great Maori film from Lee Tamahori that everyone should see. I would have liked Guy Pearce to win awards for The Convert but he's obviously not about the glitz and glamour and Hollywood fakery and uses his instagram account for activism and awareness.

Late Birthday Reminder of how Ingrid Pitt was a prolific writer later in life & chronicled her experiences of being in a concentration camp during World War II.
Ingrid Pitt in The Vampire Lovers one of my favorite Hammer Movies getting the rainbow horror on with Carmilla in a lovely green regency frock that I want to make. However in celebrating Ingrid Pitt we must remember she had a very troubled life filled with nazis, illness, concentration camps, and assault. She wrote about these things later in life and it's important to remember the pain of past history so we don't repeat it and let facism rise to power now.

How very Jack Irish of you! 😁
Guy Pearce as Jack Irish with another sweet classic car because terrible things happened to his Studabaker and it's all part of the zany plot of this great Aussie show you've been missing.

#NowWatching The Nutcracker 🎄

#PhysicalMedia is your friend, as it looks like this once very popular Baryshnikov television version is now tough to find streaming! Superb orchestration & dance, even the stage design & costumes don't feel dated but add to the wonder. Still impressive!
The Baryshnikov 1977 The Nutcracker tv movie video cover with Gelsey Kirkland in one of the most popular versions everyone should see great music and ballet what's not to love.

When Roger sees Quentin & finally believes the supernatural happenings on Dark Shadows...one of the best moments of the series. 🖤
the defeated Roger Collins, seeing the ghost of Quentin and now realizing all the paranormal things on our kooky little Dark Shadows are real in one of the best moments of the series as the ghost wins because he has amazing mutton chop side burns but that's not in this pic.

What's this? Jack Irish Seasons 1-3 free on Plex? I do think you should watch the TV Movies first but I also think everyone who hasn't seen Jack Irish is missing out on some of Guy Pearce's best work & that's saying a lot.

My Jack Irish Coverage: ithinkthereforeireview.blogspot.com/search/label...
Jack and Linda on Jack Irish because they are awesome and the show is awesome and Guy Pearce is awesome and I think Jack Irish is the best show you haven't seen. The first 3 tv movies are best and you should go in order but I'm so glad the following 3 tv seasons are now readily available on streaming. Jack fucking Irish!

Oh it's time for Roger Davis to appear as handsy Ned Stuart & tell everybody he's NOT Jeff Clark. That blue wig on Sabrina, woof! 🤦🏻‍♀️🤣
Roger Davis was a handsy actor playing jerky characters on Dark Shadows but Dan Curtis loved him so now he's back playing another character having to say he just looks like the last character he played, as soap operas often play the lookalike.

This a great list of ongoing pantry needs that you should consider donating regularly if you are able to the foodbanksj.org or your local organization, not just during the holidays or when SNAP is at risk. 🖤💪🏻

When I'm telling @athomasson11.bsky.social about my little blu-ray/VCR set up & I know I have a picture of it but I don't know why I originally took the pic. Via la physical media! Also, this scene in L.A. Confidential... foreshadowing masterclass.🤦🏻‍♀️😁🖤📼📀🤣🎬
My little tv set up with my blu-ray player & VCR in my basement studio with Guy Pearce in L.A. Confidential on the screen. I'm not sure why I took the pic but I knew I had it & it shows off my tie dye upcycle pillow & my creepy lenticular gallery, too. The faux cemetery surround stoneworks were also Halloween DIY tombstone projects that are actually fun room dividers but I can't put them out when it rains because they're just cardboard but hey, set design. Also, this early scene in L.A. Confidental, when Captain Smith is asking the reluctant Exley if he can shoot a man he knew to be guilty in the back....foreshadowing gold. As the script says, "The answer is Yes."

Thinking about that time Guy Pearce told off musky. Still waiting for that veiled Peter Weyland megalomaniac tv series pleaseandthankyou. 😁
twitter screenshot of musky hypocrite saying to support freedom of speech while the often shadowbanned before he left twitter Guy Pearce responds that musky blocks his freedom of speech regarding Palestine. A great subtle clapback.
