Watching the 1954 series: The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes.
It is pretty fun. I found it on archive.org. It has 39 episodes which are each around half an hour long.
The actors play the characters very good and the episodes are pretty good in terms of story and visual quality (good rip).
The actors haven't been in anything else of note.

Watched Tron for the first time in a while the other day. The cinematography stands up to today's standards well in my opinion. The beginning of using CGI in storytelling. And even the real world shots looked clean and nice. Probably Disney remastering work at its best.
The thing that really shows though is how people congrated together back then. The busy arcade and people watching a man on a game standing right there behind him. The original Game Streaming... But live as if it were an event onto itself.
I remember Arcades, of course I don't remember getting to go that often and such. I also don't remember anyone caring about me getting my ass kicked at Killer Instinct. But it was a place to go and be around people.
I also found it interesting that in a way it becomes a story about a man meeting his God, and finding out God is just as fallible as he is.
I will be watching Legacy again soon, which while a sequel is really a different tone of film. But I liked it and want to see it before Ares comes out later this year.

Interesting juxtaposition of everyday life, revolution, and state violence in an early 20th-century short by film pioneer Alice Guy. Gender, class, and respectability also figure in this tale, which features a nonchalant summary execution.

Director Carol Reed and cinematographer Robert Krasker meet for the first time in the phychologically intense and visually stunning film noir Odd Man Out (1947).
An absolute bonus for the film, James Mason's soulful performance as the hunted IRA revolutionary Johnny McQueen.

Last night's #CriterionChannel #ScrewballComedy was 1937's "Easy Living." The Sturges screenplay isn't so crisp, and it may be director Leisen's first stab at comedy, and it shows. Jean Arthur is a delight throughout, Edward Arnold does most of the other acting work (Ray Milland may as well be a hatrack for all he's given to do), several of what would be the Sturges stock company appear, and I was pretty sleepy anyway so won't judge it too harshly.

Fantastic poster for the brilliant 1933 King Kong (and the sketch I made of it for Inktober) - haven't managed to identify the artist - but what a great job they did!

Two posters by the great artist Anselmo Ballester - chosen because they are both considerably better than the films they're promoting - which I guess is what a poster should be to get you in front of the film!

Been listening (as I often do) to the Dean Wareham / Cheval Sombre album of cowboy songs - so today's drawing that doesn't quite look like who it's supposed to is a scribbly Ricky Nelson in Rio Bravo...

Sometimes a film I've loved in the past doesn't quite hold up - but rather chuffed how much I still enjoyed The Thin Man (1934) this evening (must be 15+ years since I last saw it) - maybe loved it even more than before. Such an adorable cast. Nice to see it on the big screen too!
