Which surely means.....I need this book 📖😁
This Day in Buster… September 2, 1923 The Idaho Statesman reports that Big Joe Roberts had suffered a stroke of apoplexy. Joe recovered enough that he insisted on finishing the picture, but very sadly passed away a few months later. #oldhollywood #damfino #busterkeaton

Love this film! Usually one of my October/Halloween viewings
Ooohh this is a fun film! 😀
Books to film 📚=🎞️ The Invisible Man (1897) by H.G. Wells was adapted to film in 1933 with many sequels & remakes/spinoffs such as Invisible Woman, Hollow Man & the 2022 Invisible Man. In the book Griffin is a megalomaniac bent on power whereas in the films he's insane. 👓👣👤 #filmsky #booksky

We lost my beloved mam in Oct 2023. My eldest is taking part in this year's Great North Run raising money in her nanna's memory. If anyone can spare a pound to help make my daughter's first half-marathon a worthwhile one, we'd be very grateful 🙏 ajbellgreatnorthrun2025.enthuse.com/pf/alannah-c...
Thank you so much 🥰 Certainly am so far
Back in my happy place 🥰📚
Good imagery 🤣
Curled up watching 'The Whole Town's Talking' (1935) Edward G. Robinson plays a law-abiding man who bears a striking resemblance to a killer, with fiesty Jean Arthur as his colleague & love interest. A fun comedy drama....Robinson never looked so cute 🥰📽
To be fair....it is the best remembered 😀
I love both movies....it's Sophie's Choice! 🤣 To be honest, it may be terrible of me to say so but my favourite Price movie would have to be 'House on Haunted Hill'.....I know....I'm so not worthy
You're not wrong 🥰
So Peter was right 😀 Good always triumphs over evil....what a legend!
Settling down & keeping myself out of mischief with this wonderful movie book 📖 Should keep me quiet for a good hour at least 😀📚🎬
There was only one film I enjoyed her performance in & that was Mildred Pierce. Other than that, I'm afraid it's a no from me.
Actually.....I really don't like Joan Crawford 🤣🤣🤣 Controversial opinion & this may be where our friendship ends but there it is....not a fan. But I do love Lon Chaney 😀
Palais Garnier Paris France 🇫🇷 On 20 May 1896, one of the chandelier's counterweights broke free and burst through the ceiling into the auditorium, killing a concierge. This incident inspired Gaston Leroux's classic 1910 gothic novel The Phantom of the Opera. 📷©mayson_traveller
Finally got to watch this!! If you're a Laurel and Hardy fan, (and who couldn't be?) I recommend 😃
Anything with Vincent Price is win
Hard to believe this is B Movie schlock master Corman. Near perfect Poe with gothic at its most sombre and Vincent Price his melancholic best. 1960. #horrorcommunity #horrorfamily #horrormovie #horrorfilm #horrorfan #classichorror #horroraddict #filmsky #horrorsky #mutantfam #horrorfam #vincentprice
Great movie 🙂
Fantastic film! Harryhausen didn't miss a trick with this one. They fight for their lives in the air and underwater as well as on land. Love it!
Perfect start to a Sunday methinks 📽
He usually does....but I can't take a chance. I'd best tune in and find out 😃 🗡🛡🐲⚓️👑🖥
Life skills 🤣
And 'The 7th Voyage of Sinbad' is one of my all time favourite films. I genuinely think I could recite the whole film start to finish with cyclops roars included 🤣
That's exactly what I did 🤣 at least I remembered the tomatoes 🍅 I can heat soup up great 👍 🤣
You had me at Cushing 🤣
Such a classic and one of those rare films that you can show to non-musical fans and they still enjoy it 🙂
Love this! 😀
Jack the Giant Killer!!! What a movie! Yes please! 😀
Legend!
Can honestly say the most entertaining thing about this film is this review! 🤣
My two gorgeous fluffs Monty on the left Smokie on the right Both in the middle of playing with new toys 🧶 #caturday
We've got each other's back...we'll be fine 🤣
100% 🥰
Damn it you know my weaknesses 🤣 You win! 😃
Same 🤣 We get it....we're the weird ones in the village 🤣
🤣 it's so gooooooddd!!! We're going to fall out ! 🤣🤣
Do it! And feel sorry for poor Harry 😔 he has nothing and no-one and can't leave to better himself....totally misunderstood character in musical history
Oooohhh one of my favourite Cushing performances!!! What a movie! Stop doing this to me....you make me want to watch everything 🤣
I love this and luckily my kids are not learning their cooking skills from me as last weekend I genuinely made spaghetti bolognese & forgot to add the sauce 🤣🤣🤣 No words....I'm past all help 🤣
This is such a fun film and one my 17 year old, still loves to watch with me 😀
It really is 🥰 Haven't seen it in so long so it was a nice treat
Got a couple of hours to myself so indulging in the 1954 musical 'Brigadoon'. Can't complain about spending time with Gene Kelly, Van Johnson, and Cyd Charisse 🥰📽
Yey! Someone thinks I have great taste! 😀 I think this is the beginning of a beautiful friendship.
Remembering one of my favourite actresses on her birthday. The adorable Joan Blondell 🩷 My particular favourites of hers have to be 'Footlight Parade' (1933), 'Topper Returns' (1941) & 'There's Always a Woman' (1938) 🥰📽
Excellent parenting 👏 I used to do exactly the same 🤣
I know I've just posted about this horror podcast but I'm just getting the message across of how much I like it 🤣 Horror stories! You all know I love stories 📚 📖
The Masque of the Red Death (1964) fan poster has pink eye #horrorfilm #poster #horrorposters #horror
I certainly am thank you 😊 Spending it with my girls
Curse of Frankenstein 4K PRE-ORDERED!!!! 🥳🥳🥳🥳
Last official day of my six weeks summer holidays. I've visited some beautiful places, I've watched some wonderful movies & read some amazing books. It's been fun, but I'm also ready to go back to my school library & immerse myself into the world of children's books once more 📚
Just listened to and enjoyed, three episodes from 'The Scarlet Vault'. If you are a fan of short horror stories, I absolutely recommend 📖 😲 scarletvaultpresents.blogspot.com?m=1
Both worthwhile pastimes 😀
Settling down to watch this silent masterpiece, 'Sunrise' (1927) This is one of those films that I wish I could see on the big screen 📽 🎞
Well said! 😀
Right here! This is the validation I craved! 👇🪜📚
More than welcome. That is one I love and recommend to anyone and everyone 🙂
Me too! 🥰 I love many comedians such as Buster Keaton, Abbott and costello, Charley Chase but for sure Laurel and Hardy are my favourite comedians
You are absolutely right 🙂
Very much in a Laurel and Hardy mood 🥰
A lot of people have asked for recs of things to read after Loki, and after much whittling and pondering I have a wee poster for you. Things that Loki readers might like with the aspects of Loki that those books capture! #UKKidlit @walkerbooksuk.bsky.social
That cast! 🥰
Beautiful day out in Bamburgh & Seahouses ☀️ First time I have tried crazy golf & I actually got a hole in one! 🥳 Luckily this was witnessed by bestie who had already shown off with two of his own ⛳️
the boy, the mole, the fox and the horse ......no idea where the boy went in that original post 🤣
It's the art that first drew me to this one. Sweet story. Have you read the children's book 'The Fox the mole and the horse'? By Charlie Mackesy? That is such a perfect book I just can't tell you. So inspiring. Definitely give that one a look.
I do believe so 😥 But he wanted to be reunited with Helen so it's not a sad thing really.
This is my third copy of 'King Mouse' by Cary Fagan, because I can't resist sharing this lovely story of authority & friendship. The illustrations by Dena Seiferling are stunning & worth a look on their own. @walkerbooksuk.bsky.social are always a great place for children's picture books 📚
Nope! No thanks! That film gave me nightmares as a kid and as an adult I invoke my grown up right not to face my childhood fears thank you 🤣
Gutted I am not getting a goodie box but I am excited about the book! 📖😀
No arguments about that 🤣
I enjoy this one and I always get weird looks when I tell people my favourite Carry On movie is 'At Your Convenience'....I would never say it's the best but it's a day out with the Carry On team & I love it 🤣
Love Cushing's performance in this one. Also enjoy the main female is not your typical Hammer leading lady but goes in a different direction....just for a change 🙂
Did someone say Peter Cushing? 🤔🥰
One of my all time favourite films 🎥
Love this film! Also one of my favourite Hammer soundtracks
Beautiful walk around a very sunny Watergate Forest Park this morning ☀️
Certainly one of my favourites and one I do re-read 📚
Beautiful 🩷 You were very lucky to have such a lovely man as your dad. Sorry for your loss but it's a lovely tribute.
‘The best antidote to anxiety about starting school — whether primary or secondary — is humour. In children’s fiction, the moment of transition may be poignant, as when Christopher Robin says to Pooh: “I’m not going to do nothing anymore.”… ’ www.thetimes.com/culture/book...
One of my favourites from the silent movies. Obviously an outstanding performance by Conrad Veidt 📽
To give the battle scenes in Joan the Woman (1916) added realism, director Cecil B. DeMille offered a bonus to the extras playing the English army if they captured Joan of Arc, and a bonus to the extras playing the French if they prevented it
In a James Stewart mood this morning 🥰
Another great Cushing performance 👏 📽
Congratulations 🥳 That's fantastic news!
Not watched Kronos in a long time. Will have to commit to a rewatch
More amazing movie/ Peter Cushing news like this please 😀📽
Sold! 😀📽
I think you'll love it but let me know what you think 😀
Don't think I've seen this one....love the poster though
