We have not gone "to the movies" in years. Nothing good on TV either. So we watch a lot of OLD films, currently working through bad b+w SciFi from the 1950s.

@moviessilently.bsky.social I saw the 1962 film The Fabulous Baron Munchausen on Kanopy the other day. The live action, colours and animation reminded me of b&w movies.
Have you seen it?

Someone tried to say I'm "jumping on the trendy political bandwagon"
I grew up PUNK, listening to underground music, watching B movies, volunteering at DIY venues & Food Not Bombs, dumpstering food, boycotting shitty corporations, making zines, etc.
This shit ain't new to me, kid.

392/365–‘Dinoshark’ #HouseOfSvengoolie The B-ist of B-movies. Ripoff mashup of ‘Jaws’ and ‘Jurassic Park,’ produced by legend Roger Corman and his wife, Julie. Sven Squad says the monster gets 20 kills in this one, maybe an amphibian record. Corman also acts! Goofy fun

American culture is incredibly dynamic because it has been open to many different influences, which is what generates culture in the first place. American culture dominates movies, music, arts- jazz, blues, rock and roll, R&B, hip hop, westerns, etc. Only stupid racists care if it's "white".

Good thing they changed their minds.
B&W Bogart films are some of my comfort zone movies, especially To Have And Have Not, Casablanca, and Key Largo.
It’s hard to pick a favorite.

🧵(4/12) This is Japanese animator, filmmaker, and manga artist Hayao Miyazaki (宮崎 駿) b.1941 d.2045 (Earth Years - EY). He created a Studio Ghibli, a company which produced 'cartoon movies'. If you have not dived so far back into entertainment archives, I'll try to desribe!

Also, the horror ones are always the first to appear because A) horror movies can make very high revenue with very low budget and B) the first instinct tends to be to do something that could never be done under the copyright owners.
Also, morbo sells.

Tuttle's statement says there are many ways to do politics, which is different from Wim Wenders's comment,“We have to stay out of politics b/c if we make movies that are dedicatedly political, we enter the field of politics.” That is a ridiculously narrow conception of politics & deserves rebuke.

If you want to know what people think of movies with theatrical releases, that thing already exists; it's called Cinemascore, and it turns out general audience think 90% of movies are a B+
i hope this serves as a nail in the coffin for those stupid “trust the audience score, tomameter is useless” arguments

Watching home movies on a b&w film projector might he an anachronism on Marvel's sliding time scale, but the physicality of the format--complete with spinning reel and flickering imagery--grounds Peter's contemplation on memory nicely.

Not just in the movies! Last names of the crew of my great-uncle's B-24: Shafer, Murray, Levinson, Anderson, Henchman, Johncour, Acosta, Ford, Nelson, Molenda, and Walsh.
(They were shot down over Italy. My great-uncle survived the war as a prisoner in Stalag Luft III.)

I didn't encounter a lot of open racism, but I am a)white and b)have Black siblings, so people likely kept their traps shut.
What was ABSOLUTELY true was expected racism. You're not supposed to like those movies, go to those parks, etc. A Black person in those spaces was treated like an exotic pet.

Oh yea, the ones I've been hating most are these stupid casino app ads on Tubi, but I see gambling ads on TV, on the radio, on YouTube (directly from creators), and now in ads for movies. I can't really get away from b them and it's driving me crazy

Oh I’ve watched the first two movies but have yet to watch the prequel. That would be a very moving scene though. Especially for those of us who’ve lost our own fathers B. 🥺

The She-Creature and The Bride and the Beast are both 50s horror B movies about past-life regression starring Lance Fuller. This is not in any way an interesting fact, but it is, nevertheless, a fact

Yesterday we released the teasers for our pre-written characters for the larp B Movie, which is the story of a low budget film being made in Hollywood in 1954. We went through a design phase - identifying character archetypes and concetps - and then wrote a brief (300 word) Blurb about each one.
