After OUT OF THE PAST airs tonight, Eddie will showcase a pair of underrated gems: RAW DEAL and MOONRISE. The two films are linked by their release year, 1948, and the aura of self-inflicted doom that permeates them like a slow-developing poison. Worth staying up for.

Just found this picture of Bela Lugosi in The Ape Man (1943) and I am struck by how much it resembles a certain someone. And he’s behind bars, which is especially fitting…

"In truth, that boy hasn't the least idea how well he acts. He gets it all from the inside, from his own clear way of looking at life." —Charles Laughton talks about Gary Cooper. Coop was #BornThisDay in Helena, Montana, in 1901.

@alamodrafthouse.bsky.social You guys need to fire whatever clown is making the decisions at corporate. “Same overpriced food but now without friendly servers—oh and everybody in the theater is going to be on their cellphones the whole movie.” Heck of a way to change the brand.

Have you seen that video of Elle and Dakota Fanning giving each other a lie detector test? It’s very charming and funny, but I’d give anything to see Olivia de Havilland and Joan Fontaine doing the same thing. It would have ended with blood on the walls…

I think we need to celebrate the death of Sora a bit more. This is a technology that, just MONTHS AGO, we were being told was going to literally destroy Hollywood and Disney was going to give them a BILLION DOLLARS and NONE OF THAT EVEN REMOTELY HAPPENED

I second the praise of A Simple Plan!
just realized I missed the 27th anniversary of A Simple Plan's release yesterday. a perfect movie for the holidays if you're looking to deepen your seasonal depression - and a perfect movie, period.

it is almost as if accommodating and conceding to far right ideas legitimizes them and signals to voters that the far right is a legitimate choice for governance
The Danish Social Democrats are currently on course for their worst election result since at least the Second World War, despite their brand of far-right accommodationism being touted as a blueprint for other centre-left parties.

My 3rd? time seeing SUDDEN FEAR, and it’s moved into the upper echelon of noir for me. It’s top-tier: evil Jack Palance, wicked Gloria Grahame, suffering Joan Crawford. Great direction, cinematography, plot. Might also be the movie over which Crawford had the most creative control. What a flick.
