fromsoft’s best grabattack ever

finally got to see All About Eve on the big screen tonight. Incredible how watching a movie, huge, with a bunch of other people completely changes the energy and atmosphere of a film. 10/10

Do you think Ida Lupino and Joan Fontaine ever shared their bodies with each other like they shared their husbands with each other?

Ida Lupino: "my third marriage is ass bc my husband hates my more successful career. ANYWAY I'm going to star as myself in our comedy sitcom and play out on national television our troubled marriage and my internal struggles as actress/director/wife" She's insane. I'm obsessed.

why do I keep falling head over heels for obscure shit? tonight I spent hours watching grainy snippets of a largely lost 1950s sitcom whose original negatives have vanished. why can't I ever just fall in love with normal mainstream things

It probably feels good as hell to own a nightclub and sit at your own special little table every night, and when a brazen but charming scoundrel sits down to talk to you, you get to give your bodyguards that little “don’t immediately kill this guy” hand motion

Ida Lupino starring in "The Stand In" (1956) vs Ida Lupino irl at the screening for "Hard, Fast and Beautiful" (1951) which she directed and produced. She is located all the way in the back row. She was the only female director working in Hollywood between 1949 and 1967.

I will see one musical and suddenly remember that theatre is the most important thing in the entire world

colour privileges are taken away until they understand the importance of light values

In "Not Wanted" (1949) Ida Lupino as director tried to include girls of different races at a boarding house for unwed pregnant mothers, but interracial casting was forbidden by her investors. Despite this she still managed to sneak a girl of Chinese descent into one scene

when i’m about to watch a movie for a specific actress but it has a 2 star rating on letterboxd

dorian gray adaptation where dorian and basil are siblings and an emerald fennell wuthering heights with a twitter fancasting, what are we doing to our beautiful gothic literature

can't even be mad about having a song stuck in my head all day when it's judy garland's "the man that got away"
