Letterboxd Recent Activity Cinderella (1965) - 3 stars Janine - 3 stars Possessed (1931) - 3 stars A Story of Water - 2.5 stars
Letterboxd Friday! Hit 50 logged for 2026, which means I have a lot of wiggle room on my overall goal of 150.
Bar none, the best source for 1930s and 1940s cinema this side of archive.org is HBO Max. I worry what will happen when Netflix consumes it.

Thinking a lot about Tokyo Story today for Reasons (spelling corrected).

1. William Powell
2. Basil Rathbone
3. James Stephenson
4. Warren William
5. Edmund Lowe
6. Paul Lukas
I don't care enough to track down the PRC films.
My statistical analysis of my film viewing after seven days of 2026 reveals that my star of the year will definitely be H.B. Warner.
It’s on my list!
If you like the Evil Dead and wuxia, it comes recommended

Spare me from another goddamn “Mina is Dracula’s reincarnated lost love” adaptation. Mina loves her husband. That’s the love story.
The choices in this film (Blood Orange) are baffling. Tom Conway plays a private detective Tom Conway, but for some reason he's doing a flat and nasal American accent when the whole appeal of Tom Conway is that British purr.
Aw, thanks
Ooh, the original 1970s run of A Ghost Story for Christmas is on Shudder.
Kanopy’s Noirvember collection is certainly eclectic.
I cannot overstate the mental health benefits of spending time with a person who just thinks you're neat.
Letterboxd Recent Activity Macabre (1958) - 2.5 stars Monster on the Campus - 3 stars You Can’t Take It With You - 3.5 stars The Lower Depths (1936) - 3.5 stars
Haven’t done a Letterboxd Friday in a while because my movie viewing has been way down. I was on vacation this week and watched a bunch, though.
New vid! You're Gonna Go Far, Kid (Mission: Impossible movies). Premiered at Confabulation 2025.

I hit an unexpected milestone in my Letterboxd stats. It's been a year since I went a week without logging some kind of film. I only really thought of my film viewing as ramping up in December of 2024, but I guess I was being consistent prior to that.
