A group of friends move to New York after graduation only to discover the difficulty of landing a job in their chosen field.

The words "describe your favorite movie as boring as possible" superimposed over a mosaic of movie posters.

Three films in which male filmmakers try to understand womanhood, and a Sigmund Romberg biopic that is short on plot but has some knockout numbers.

Hungry Wives (aka Season of the Witch) | Deep in My Heart (rewatch) | La Cage Aux Folles 2 | Maddie’s Secret

Warning for anyone interested in The Greeks Had a Word for Them: the film is badly in need of restoration. The version available to rent or buy online is in such bad shape that it really hinders enjoyment. #LastFourWatched

Small Town Girl (rewatch); The Greeks Had a Word for Them; Inland Empire (rewatch); Rear Window

Love it when they didn’t sell enough ads so we get a screensaver for a commercial break.

A pluto tv screensaver on my television. Yes, that’s the complete Venture Bros. on dvd in fromt of the television.

David Levy@itsdlevy· Jun 5

this week is music and fashion and complicated love affairs

Marie Antoinette (2006); Humoresque; The Belle of New York; La Cage Aux Folles

David Levy@itsdlevy· Jun 1

I had a great Marilyn Monroe poster too, but I can’t find an image of that specific one. It was similar to the cover of The Diamond Collection boxed set.

Post a poster you used to have in your room, apartment, or house.

Disney’s Aladdin 1992 teaser poster - a dark blue background with a backlit magic lamp, cradled by two hands. A glowing swirl of light is emerging from the tip of the lamp. Above the image: Aladdin - Imagine if you had three wishes, three hopes, three dreams and they all could come true.

Annie Get Your Gun (rewatch); The Gorgon; Morocco; Serial Mom

I can’t believe Disney is selling Scooter t-shirts in the parks but they are ugly as sin.

An ugly-ass Scooter t-shirt made with maybe three ink colors? black, red, and yellow, like a regurgitated hot dog.

JAY Records sent out a newsletter with an AI-generated header image, advertising an album that I think has an AI-generated cover, and I am dismayed.

David Levy@itsdlevy· May 8

I don’t have any broad generalization about these four as a group, except that each is extremely reflective of the time in which it was made. I think Fifth Avenue Girl could do extremely well if remade and updated for our current moment. But who today can do what Ginger Rogers did?

Aria | Fifth Avenue Girl | I Was A Shoplifter | Strange Journey: The Story of Rocky Horror

Looking increasingly like my most-watched actors of 2026 will be Christopher Lee and Joan Crawford, with Bette Davis and Peter Cushing right on their heels.

Special Agent (1935); Above Suspicion (1943); Suspiria (1977); The Two Faces of Dr. Jekyll (1960)

David Levy@itsdlevy· Apr 22

Nailed it in one.

Or maybe one of these

Paperback Novelizations of Grease, Grease 2, The Music Man, West Side Story, and Bye Bye Birdie

After I wrote my little review of The Bride Wore Boots, I was surprised to look at other users’ ratings and discover that by and large, Letterboxd users who love Barbara Stanwyck have absolutely zero appreciation for camp. Their loss.

The Bride Wore Boots; Easter Parade; Fanatic (aka Die! Die! My Darling); Frankenstein 1970

One of these carries over from my last #LastFourWatched post because we had to stop watching movies to binge The Comeback when I learned that Keith hadn’t seen it.

Dr. Seuss’s The 5,000 Fingers of Dr. T; Connie & Carla; The Curse of the Mummy’s Tomb; The Mexican Spitfire’s Baby

David Levy@itsdlevy· Mar 24

Thanks to the Criterion flash sale, loyalty program, and bonus for Criterion Channel subscribers, I got the Dietrich & Von Sternberg boxed set for basically the cost of shipping.

The cover of Dietrich & Von Sternberg in Hollywood, which includes Morocco, Dishonored, Shanghai Express, Blonde Venus, The Scarlet Express, and The Devil Is a Woman

Can you guess what I am watching tonight from this snippet of its IMDB page?

More like this — you might also like Star Trek: The Animated Series, Meet Me in St. Louis; Walt Disney’s The Shaggy Dog

Remakes, films that were remade, and one that is effectively both while actually being neither.

The Mexican Spitfire’s Baby; The Old Dark House (1963); “Hi, Nellie”; The Magic Flute (1975)

David Levy@itsdlevy· Mar 8

saw a high school production of The Drowsy Chaperone today.

I think it’s only my second time seeing the show (first was Broadway) and this time I was haunted by the realization that there were no cast recordings of the era the show is supposed to be recalling - and certainly not two LP gatefold recordings with dialogue

so the whole thing is built on a lie

i am very fun to see shows with

David Levy@itsdlevy· Mar 6

it’s called range #LastFourWatched

Dracula (1958); Munich; The Bride Came C.O.D.; Can’t Stop The Music

Even in these dark times, there are new wonders to behold if you just know where to look.

Reese’s Oreo Miniature Cups: Reese’s peanut butter cups with Oreo cookie mixed into the peanut butter, topped with a white frosting reminiscent of “stuf.”

David Levy@itsdlevy· Feb 20

disasters and monsters (sometimes both)

Titanic (1953); Ella McCay; The Curse of Frankenstein; “Wuthering Heights”

David Levy@itsdlevy· Feb 16

The number of ads Disney+ is forcing me to watch before Ella McCay is like

In a still from The Wizard of Oz, we see a sign shaped like a pointing ghost with the words “Haunted Forest - Wiches [sic] Castle ⬅️ 1 mile” and another sign that says “I’d turn back if I were you!”

David Levy@itsdlevy· Feb 13

Four pretty great, pretty different films this week. Incidentally, For the Love of Strippers (a documentary short about two leaders in LA's strippers' rights movement) is having an online premiere tonight including a Q&A with the director and stars: kinema.com/events/For-t...

Force of Evil | For the Love of Strippers | Pandemonium | Gilda

Felt a little kicky so put Judy at Carnegie Hall on the turntable, and let me tell you, we are so lucky to live in the CD/digital era.
