There’s a lot of talent in this photo…

Love this picture of James Cagney and Boris Karloff!

(Incidentally, both actors were strong supporters of the Screen Actors Guild. Karloff was “Member Number 9,” joining SAG on July 19, 1933, and served as a board member/officer from 1933 up until 1949. Cagney followed Karloff in October 1933, and served on the board as Vice-President before becoming President of SAG in 1942.)

The Mother of Science Fiction

From the beginning scifi has been used to examine society’s issues. Mary Shelley’s “Frankenstein” asked of people to take responsibility for their actions, to consider the impact of one’s legacy, and to have compassion for one’s fellow human.

Happy Frankenstein Day!

(And what a beautiful, cool piece of art from @joeyhazell-art !)

Alan Arkin and Peter Falk in The In-Laws (Arthur Hiller, 1979)

#there is so little the in-laws content

AND THAT NEEDS TO BE REMEDIED

This is one of the funniest films I ever saw, with two of the most intuitive, playful, and smart performances.

How Peter Falk got through his dialogue about the giant tsetse flies without losing it remains a mystery.
