Such an amazing range. It was so fun to randomly happen upon his stint as a guest star on DYNASTY, playing a bellicose prosecuting attorney!

3 things about Jerry London’s RENT-A-COP [1987] 1. A nice touch: he's a department store Santa at Carson's, not Marshall Field's. 2. Chicago's hottest nightclub: The Golden Gargoyle. 3. "Sometimes you have to go through a hell of a lot to find out what you're really good at." #3things #movies

A man with a mustache relaxes in a bathtub holding a bottle, while a woman in a striped shirt stands nearby with a curious expression. The cozy bathroom features pastel cabinetry and cluttered shelves, conveying a casual and intimate atmosphere.

Happy #LetterboxdFriday everyone! Usual eclectic mixture.

3 things about Stephen Roberts’ THE STORY OF TEMPLE DRAKE [1933] 1. The judge removes a bottle of whiskey from his desk and pours two drinks, one for himself and one for his future son-in-law. During Prohibition. 2. Post-rape catatonia. 3. “Be proud of her. I am!” #3things #movies #williamfaulkner

A person peers through a broken window with a fearful expression. Their wide eyes and raised hand convey a sense of alarm and suspense. Shadows cast a dramatic tone.

3 things about J. Lee Thompson’s WHAT A WAY TO GO! [1964] 1. Murdered by his own machine. 2. Frenetic Dick Van Dyke, dictating letter after letter after letter. 3. The lovers lie together inside a giant bubbling champagne glass. #3things #movies #shirleyMacLaine #filmsky 📽️

The image shows a person with wide eyes, looking surprised or startled, sitting inside a pink car. The individual has pink hair styled with curls and is wearing dangling earrings. A fluffy pink garment, like a fur coat or scarf, is draped around the shoulders. The interior of the car is not clearly visible, but the window frame is also pink, matching the exterior color of the vehicle.

3 things about John Boorman’s EXCALIBUR [1981] 1. Fucking with your armor still on. 2. All at once, she has become a crone. 3. Hand and sleeve emerging from the water. #3things #movies #johnboorman #helenmirren #liamneeson #cinema #filmsky 📽️

The image features two people seated at a medieval-style banquet table. The person on the left is wearing shiny, silver armor, with visible rivets and detailing. He has a short beard and thick, wavy hair. Beside him, the person on the right is dressed in a dark, sleeveless gown adorned with wide metallic bracelets and a large pendant necklace. She wears a circlet around her head, with long, straight hair falling behind her shoulders. Both individuals are gazing intently in the same direction, with their hands close together, suggesting they are sharing a moment. The foreground includes out-of-focus fruits resembling apples, suggesting a setting rich in detail. In the blurred background, other people in similar medieval attire can be seen, indicating a lively gathering or feast.

Some great stuff lately. #LetterboxdFriday #LastFourWatched #filmsky 📽

The image displays four movie posters arranged horizontally side by side. The first poster, "Is That Black Enough for You?!?", features a person sitting with crossed legs, wearing sunglasses and a hat, with an ornate circular pattern behind them. The color scheme is predominantly golden brown. The second poster, "What a Way to Go!", shows a woman in a glittering green gown standing against a yellow and red striped backdrop, with several faces illustrated in black-and-white alongside her. The third poster, "The Perfect Neighbor," depicts a dark silhouetted suburban scene with a tree and a house. It has a mysterious atmosphere with blue and red lights casting highlights. The fourth poster is for "Excalibur," showcasing a dramatic scene with a figure in armor holding a glowing sword, bathed in a mystical light with vibrant hues of red, blue, and green. Each poster has star ratings displayed underneath.

Desperately needed a break from reality & WHAT A WAY TO GO! hit the spot. As one Letterboxd review put it, the premise is basically “What if CITIZEN KANE was about a smoking hot babe?” Shirley MacLaine is a goddess, and more than holds her own during a torrid dance number with Gene Kelly.

The image features a person with styled, voluminous pink hair, wearing a luxurious, fluffy pink fur stole over a glamorous pink outfit. The attire includes a sparkly brooch pinned near the center. The individual is holding a pink item, possibly a piece of fabric or paper, in both hands. The background reveals the front of a classic pink car, hinting at a vintage setting. The setting is indoors, with muted tones and dim lighting, contributing to an elegant and retro ambiance.

3 things about Oliver Laxe’s SIRAT [2025] 1. “It’s been the end of the world for a long time.” 2. She explains that each speaker is unique, and you never know when it’ll make its last sound. 3. Handbrake. #3things #movies #cinema #music #nature #war
