Greetings from Camp Anyonebutjessie.
The Israeli finance minister Smotrich, who is also a deputy defense minister, threatens to turn Beirut into Khan Younis.

Oh god yes, Hilliard's a pain and Scott is visibly uncomfortable. RKO just wouldn't let go of the bizarre notion that Fred and Ginger needed another couple to bolster the plot.
Not at all, although I haven't seen much else. She's good in No Man of Her Own (with Gable and Lombard before they were a couple). I saw The Reckless Hour but don't recall much about it.
As usual you are not wrong about the dress, but her hair and makeup are so lovely I can live with it?
Photo has the yellowed old-paper tint. Mackaill's hair is down, she is looking at the camera and holding what appears to be a silk shawl around her shoulders (and not much else)
A striking fan-magazine portrait of actress Dorothy Mackaill, 1923. She was #BornThisDay in 1903, in Kingston upon Hull, U.K. Much of her silent work is lost, but SAFE IN HELL (1931) is brilliant and easy to find.
The union meeting in Bicycle Thieves
The man offering jobs in Bicycle Thieves
Today's screening of Bicycle Thieves was the first time I noticed that the man working at the employment office who gives Ricci his job at the beginning of the film is also nodding along at the union meeting later in the film. No matter how many times I watch, there's always some new weird detail.

It’s Joan’s birthday tomorrow.

Just now thinking of one of my favorite New Yorker commas, the one they put in constructions like "when she died, in 1973," because without the comma one might read it as "when she died in 1973, as opposed to when she subsequently died in 1975 and again in 1976."
Some typos are tolerable, some are not...
I think she might have aged into a great character actress in film. But unlike, say, Sylvia Sidney, I'm not sure Harlow would have had the self-confidence for the stage.
"Magnificent" is, in fact, the word I cut because I was over character count!
"Politcs? Hah! You couldn't get into politics!" My all-time Jean Harlow moment in DINNER AT EIGHT isn't her closing exchange with Marie Dressler; it's the knock-down-drag-out marital scrap where she wipes the floor with Wallace Beery. The great Harlow was #BornThisDay in 1911 in Kansas City, Mo.

I agree. He is not a strategic thinker, he just needs to be the star. I worked at Dow Jones, then the WSJ, then Barron's, editing coverage of him at every stage. He was always inserting himself into issues that had f-all to do with him (the vicious Central Park 5 ad was a perfect example).
Intentionally or not, he’s constantly put in a traditional presidential frame that makes the crude and cruel decisions of this White House seem a lot more thought-out than they probably are.
The fundamental problem with analyzing Trump is that one must assume there’s a strategy when all the evidence points to him being a vindictive, impulsive and easily-led person who sees the world and the people in it in terms of their usefulness to him.
Why shouldn’t you, I sure have! 😂
Empezamos la semana con Jennifer Jones
Feliz día 🎬❤️

Oh come ON. If that's "preventative" what the hell is "severe skin condition" supposed to look like? Also, GTFO with calling that spot "reddish" in the article, try "fiery oozing mess"
In ‘To Be or Not to Be’ (1942)
I thought, "I should post a lovely still of Jennifer Jones in Portrait of Jennie for her birthday, I love that movie so much," and then I afterthought "I don't have to do that, I can go to Tomas's page and RT because I know he won't let this slip by."
