Sunset Boulevard (1950)

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sunset_Boulevard_(film)
poster language: French
The artistic device of showing a strip of movie film keeps cropping up with this one. It wasn't the only movie about movies/movie stars, was it?

This extraordinary film has moved the whole world, says the French tagline.

Starting October, like I've started every October for a long while, with the best #Comedy #horror ever committed to film: Tucker and Dale vs. Evil.
After that, it's a crap shoot because I watch horror movies all year long.

Director Billy Wilder considered casting Mary Miles Minter in the role of murderer Norma Desmond in Sunset Boulevard, until he realised that she was a prime suspect in the murder of director William Desmond Taylor in 1922.

Your first recommendation for this month is the wild and wonderful TerrorVision. Is it actually scary or impressively gory? No, but it's goofy fun and quite unlike anything else you may have seen. And I've always had a soft spot for it.

Traffic in Crime (1946)

The poster gives no clue what the story is and Wikipedia has nothing either. Curious. Someone please find this movie and update the Wiki page. “Traffic in Crime” is unhelpful as a title too.

Shortcomings, 2023 - ★★★

#Movies #Cinemastodon
https://letterboxd.com/benjessup/film/shortcomings/

Watched Avengers: Infinity War. I remember really enjoying this in theaters but haven't seen it since. Dang, it holds up. Maybe it's just that I'm more attached to these characters, but the “silly meet ups" feel way less silly, and the jokes don’t interrupt the deep scenes.

Spider-Man still hits the way it did in theaters and this one has to be considered the Empire Strikes Back of this franchise.

Party Girl (1958)

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Party_Girl_(1958_film)
poster language: French
“Traquenard” apparently means "trap" though French has at least one other word for that, “piege” so there must be some extra layer of meaning maybe? Messy poster, no artistic merit I can see. What is that guy in the middle holding? It looks about as substantial as a chopstick.

First #Spooktober watch. Accidental.

My boyfriend and I thought it would be a cool start... #TheFly....
The 80s classic. Jeff Goldblum. Geena Davis. Let's do it. This is fun. We got some catching up to do...

I didn't expect this tragedy, this emotion and this power. I was gasping and screaming at the TV in the meantime. A great film experience that questions what it means to be human. Wow. I loved this one...

Hangmen Also Die! (1943)

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hangmen_Also_Die!

The Ritz Littlefield! https://cinematreasures.org/theaters/23210 I assume it's that one. This film is based on a true story but according to Wikipedia, not very true to it. Full marks for calling your op “Operation Anthropoid” though.

High Sierra (1941)

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High_Sierra_(film)
poster language: French
Nicely placed bush there, concealing from us who's lying face down in the desert. It could be Bogart! You'll have to watch to see.

This movie is kind of called "The Great Escape" in French but also “His last flight” in Dutch so the Dutch get a hint that the rest of us don't.

Night and the City (1950)

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Night_and_the_City

Bit of a mess aesthetically, the composition just doesn't work. Tiny hint that the city is London if you squint at that blue silhouette. This is a pretty wild movie, with a lot more pro wrestling content than you'd think.

Clara Bow’s fifty-fourth movie was No Limit, produced between September and October, 1930, with location filming in New York between 17 - 30 October. The movie was released on January 24, 1931. Clara played Helen “Bunny” O’Day. Gloria Jacobson stood in as Clara’s double.

The Red House (1947)

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Red_House_(film)

There's a red house, I get it.
These posters almost always have a couple embracing, I'm going to say as a nod to potential viewers that there was at least some romance/hint of sex in the movie. But so often there seems to be a consent issue. Is his face pressed up against hers because she likes him, or is this a kind of pushing boundaries thing?

Finally Published My Review: Sci-Fi Action 'The Creator' - This Movie Isn't Really About A.I. https://onfs.net/48w933e

Really had to get this off my chest!! Wrote my review about how, even though this movie has robots & A.I. in it, it's not actually about A.I. as we know it in 2023. 🤖 It's about how America will exterminate anything it deems a threat to its way of life without any understanding.

The Keystone Cops (often spelled "Keystone Kops") are fictional, humorously incompetent policemen featured in silent film slapstick comedies produced by Mack Sennett for his Keystone Film Company between 1912 and 1917.

Portland Exposé (1957)

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Portland_Exposé

I guess there was a series of these “[city name] exposé” movies at the time? I've seen a few along the way. I would never have guessed Portland was going to be one of them. Keep Portland Weird, I guess.

Why no accent on exposé? that's really going to bug me. Technically this poster says Portland, expose! in the imperative case.

Thank you for your Christmas movie poll nominations. I have enough nominations to run a poll in the fortnight before Christmas. Before then, starting next week, I’d like to run a series of short genre polls, lasting a week or a fortnight, depending upon the number of nominations.
