City of Workers, by Hans Baluschek, 1920.

Really glad to have seen this last night. Beautiful restoration.

In the 1920s, automat cafeterias were among the first public places where women could dine alone. Automat (1927) captures that new urban freedom—and the reflective loneliness that came with it. Is this what it feels like to be free?

Tonight’s movie. Another first-timer. SCHIZO (1976) #NowWatching #PeteWalker #BritishHorror #Shocktober #Halloween #HorrorMovies #FilmSky

“Some people thought George was ridiculous in those robes, and his curls pinned back on his head,” he said. “But all I could see was that he was free…” - Clifton Jolley Just finished reading this wonderful, thorough biography. Highly recommended for wrestling/pop culture fans. #Wrestling #Booksky

Happy Talk Like Water Matthau Day! #happybirthday #filmsky

Chop Suey (1929) captures interwar cosmopolitanism and modern emotional distance: two women talk, detached, while a couple behind sits in silence. The public solitude contrasts with the restaurant’s vivid color, sharpening the isolation.

A lot of talk about the NHL expanding back into Arizona. And, from what I understand, the Coyote name is off the table. Here's my thought on a new team - lemme know if you want to see me expand the branding system, or how much you hate it.

Rewatching GIANT (1956) and just realized that Elizabeth Taylor’s mother in the film, Judith Evelyn, was also Miss Lonelyhearts in REAR WINDOW and the mute lady in THE TINGLER! 🤯 #Filmsky #movies #supportingactors

One of my favorites. Endlessly rewatchable in its depiction of the collapse of empire.

Hey #Filmsky folks! 👋 I’m trying to remember the title of a 70s era Japanese film centered around a failed rock singer who becomes a sniper at the end ala Targets. Ring any bells? 🤔
