An extremely rare occurrence, she looks so incredible I watched the whole film even though it was far from incredible.

Jennifer Garner (54 today) got seriously let down by the Elektra franchise. Daredevil flops, yet she’s the standout, so they give her a spin-off... and repeat the exact same mistakes. What a waste. She still looks absolutely stunning, though.

William Holden #BOTD & Barbara Stanwyck met on the set of"Golden Boy". (1939) Holden, who was struggling in his first film, never forgot her encouragement to him as a newcomer & they shared a deep loving friendship. He surprised her with this tribute at the 1978 Oscars.

“The only thing an old man can tell a young man is that it goes fast, real fast, and if you’re not careful it’s too late. Of course, the young man will never understand this truth.”

I love The Big Show; Groucho was on several times and he was always great on it. Tallulah Bankhead was the host and Fred Allen (a genius, by the way) was on very frequently. It's all on internetarchive and OTR and comedy buffs should give it a try.

Uncommon photo of Fanny Brice and Groucho during a November 1950 broadcast of "The Big Show," NBC's all-star attempt to keep listeners glued to their radios instead of being distracted by those newfangled television sets. The show lasted two years before NBC threw in the towel.

@ScottMcCreaWest I disliked it so much I quit watching halfway through. Didn't know he died in it until I read it on Twitter

No Time to Die is an awful movie.
There's not much more to it than that.

NO TIME TO DIE was nominated as one of the most underwhelming #JamesBond films of all time, but why do you think the movie has earned such an unpopular status with Bond fans? Hear more on Craig’s final outing as 007: pod.fo/e/18b31b

RESULTS: Nine minutes after we posted about a Havana Syndrome victim's widow and the struggle to get her late husband's tax forms, the Office of Personnel Management @USOPM stepped in.
OPM Director @skupor replied on @X + now the matter is resolved. Thank you!
The ability to get issues in front of decision makers is one reason X stands out.

ADDING INSULT TO INJURY: In January, a courageous counterintelligence officer, Mike Beck, passed away. The US government never fully acknowledged his debilitating brain injuries were caused by a directed energy attack. Now his widow Rita is battling the bureaucracy. After Mike's death, Rita says she can't access his 1099-R tax forms online @USOPM, no one is picking up the phone at OPM and the forms are no longer mailed. Rita gave me permission to share her story. It seems so wrong that families, like the Becks, who have already sacrificed so much for our country now have to fight through red tape. Can @skupor @USOPM @SecretaryLCD @RepRickCrawford @VanHollenForMD help? This should be an easy fix. Getting the forms to Rita on an expedited basis via @USPS or courier should do it. Last year, the US government stepped up, after we revealed it was months behind on assisted living payments for Mike who could no longer live at home. After our investigation, the Labor Department and others got involved. The outstanding bill of 25k for Mike Beck's assisted living was paid in full. Until the end, Mike and Rita fought for the rights of other Havana Syndrome survivors. Mike's interview maybe hard to watch because his suffering is so apparent.

Thank you all for the love and support for Valerie over the years. It meant the world to her. She will be laid to rest this week. She loved life, and she lived it to the fullest. She lived in the moment and carried no regrets.❤️

Nighthawks is a spectacular thriller; everyone is terrific, especially Nigel Davenport. When I saw it (soon after the Iranian hostage crisis), the audience erupted in applause when Stallone eliminated Hauer.

The criminally underrated action thriller ‘Nighthawks’ starring Sylvester Stallone, Billy Dee Williams, Lindsay Wagner, Persis Khambatta, and Rutger Hauer hit theaters 45 years ago this week 🚔 🚡 🔫 TRIVIA: The script by David Shaber was originally written as a third ‘French Connection’ film, with Gene Hackman's Popeye Doyle teaming up with a wisecracking cop (possibly played by Richard Pryor). When Hackman was reluctant to make a third film as Doyle, the idea was scrapped; 20th Century Fox sold the script to Universal, which Shaber reworked into ‘Nighthawks’. (Wikipedia) 🖤

Woke up this morning struggling with worldly dissatisfaction and discontent and a general spiritual frustration and unease in my soul. It was a mood that was not of God and was not healthy spiritually. So I battled it with gratitude - started thanking Him for the birds I could hear singing (I love birds so much!), then for the trees, then for the fact that I had been given another day of life. Prayed for my boys, had a small spat with hubs (natch), resolved it (after 36 years you don’t give too much weight to these things), had a phone meeting that could have gone off the rails but ended up on a very positive note. Feeling much better. Thank you Jesus. If your Monday started off badly, start with the birds and work your way back to Him.
