A photo of Neil Sedaka tapping his cap
NEW YORK (AP) β Neil Sedaka, million-selling singer and songwriter of 'Breaking Up Is Hard to Do' and dozens of other hits, dies at 86.
Now, *that* was a career.
Goodbye to Neil Sedaka.
"The 45-second film, made around 1897, was the first appearance on film of what might be called a robot"
HELL. YES.
When you realize that Warner Brothers said "Delete that shit" and the BBC chose to keep it...baby this is why I'm not debating nothing about modern racism. Full grown adults made a lot of choices
Evening viewing recommendation? Before it leaves the Criterion Channel, watch William Richert's WINTER KILLS (1979).
KPOP DEMON HUNTERS deserves to be on Criterion. But while youβre at it, Netflix, a team-up with Lionsgate to do a 4K release of the KNIVES OUT trilogy wouldnβt suck either.
Jacaranda trees in bloom lining Fairfax in South Hollywood, CA I consider this a very mediocre picture but Iβm posting it today in contrast to yesterdayβs amazing pic as a test. I paired yesterdayβs with Malcolm X and those pics never do numbers. Methinks the folks on this platform need a lot more Malcolm in their lives. Ninnys.

A+ State of the Union counterprogramming by TCM.
Modern actors spending months getting shredded for a film when their classic film counterparts just tighted their belts as much as possible, inhaled, and refused to take another breath while the camera was on.
You're right! Hadn't noticed that before, but they're missing a lot of great flicks not doing much animation
Some good deals here. Quite a few Blu-ray lots:

It's February! (Almost!) Lots of fun pre-Codes on TCM and the Criterion Channel this month worth checking out. You can stream High Pressure (1932) to your heart's desire! What more do you want? ... okay, besides *that*. pre-code.com/pre-code-mov...
Treat yourself to a little bit of joy today and watch Catherine O'Hara discuss her Chatty Cathy character

The late Catherine OβHara left behind a multi-decade body of work that highlighted her unique comic sensibility. Here are her best works and where to stream them.
When anyone from SCTV dies itβs like 30 people have died. Every character they created was as alive as anyone else youβve ever met.
It's angel numbers! A call to rebalance and align with your truth.
