Writing about classic films, food, wine, cruising, pets and other bits 'n' pieces. Having fun with it all.

Taking a break from the madness of this moment in America by rereading the best.
@ScottEyman1 can be heard on the new episode of @TCM’s #ThePlotThickens DECODING JOHN FORD, releasing this week.
Serenity now! (That’ll be the day…)

An evening with bestselling biographer @ScottEyman1 as he discusses his book: Charlie Chaplan vs. America, the remarkable, must-read story of Chaplin’s years of exile from the US during the postwar Red Scare, and how it ruined his film career. RSVP today: tinyurl.com/yf97ku5r

Also, remarkable stories about Chaplin as filmmaker and civilian. (Wrongly unenthusiastic about A King in New York, however.) Terrific, fascinating, appalling read.

Tonight's Chaplin set on @tcm is connected to Scott Eyman's new book Charlie Chaplin vs. America, which I heartily recommend, as a vision of the country knuckling under to censorious far-right pressure groups with sanctimonious claims of virtue and hypocritical ones of freedom...

My latest for @LAReviewofBooks on @ScottEyman1's smart and provocative study of the great Charlie Chaplin. #Hollywood #CharlieChaplin #TCMParty #NewBooks lareviewofbooks.org/article/…

Review: Charlie Chaplin vs. America by @ScottEyman1 recounts how right-wing elements in the U.S. gov’t & media essentially deported Chaplin & how his political beliefs (or lack thereof) & personal life made him an easy target. A fascinating read paulascinemaclub.com/2023/10… ^PG

I’ve listened to her for decades and it’s my privilege to chat with NPR’s Terry Gross for Fresh Air about “Charlie Chaplin vs America,” which airs today. She’s just as interesting and terrific as you expect. She reads the books and asks questions nobody else does. @nprfreshair
The latest (and 17th book!) from my guy, Scott Eyman. Seems it’s interesting and riveting reading! Yes! #charliechaplin @chaplinofficial #classicfilms #mustread

We knew and loved Bob very much, saw him just 6 weeks ago. He will be missed by a large part of the literary and cultural world, as well as our own small piece of that. Goodbye, dear friend. #RobertGottlieb
I have known two geniuses in my life. One was Fritz Lang. The other was Robert Gottlieb. Both were warm, loving and generous; both preferred to disguise it by emphasizing their knack for incisively stating the truth. Both will always be irreplaceable.

Felines Bette Davis and Myrna Loy are riveted to the @WKCDOGS !! Their dog @CocktailClemmie knows she is the winner in their cat hearts. #westminster #catdogs

My guy has done it again! Another wonderful book about one of the greats.
I wrote a book.
Again.
This one I've been thinking about for, oh, about 50 years - a deep dive into why and how Charlie Chaplin was kicked out of his adopted country.
It's a story that hasn't been told with any depth or complexity...until now.
I hope you like it.

Is it just me, or does @SteveRattner (and his charts!) make the day a bit more palatable? Loving the Steve-sized charts today! @Morning_Joe #numbersgeek #steveexplains

Reunited after Hurricane Ian
After flooding made her Fort Myers home uninhabitable, Mary was forced to part with her beloved dog, Annie. Thankfully, after a few weeks of cleanup, Mary was able to return home and reunite with Annie at Peggy Adams!

Just finished Charles Elton’s book about Michael Cimino, which is an extraordinarily good job on an extraordinarily difficult subject - a fantasist, a bullshit artist, a compulsive liar and, on occasion, a prodigiously gifted director. Bravo!
