Trump talks authors. Orwell. 🤔. https://youtu.be/_GXNJ3V9lzg?si=-Ia8cv65SOFkXkyR

TieDyeDude He is so sad and bored that he has to read from a prepared speech. You can see him perk up when he goes off-script and call America the “hottest country.“ 🤣🤣🤣 9h

Nightfall really has little worry for herself and her sole focus is Loid, which is certainly odd but pales to Yuri's almost borderline infatuation with his sister. Just when I thought he could be ok, he does something a little unhinged like in this volume's case he was able to pinpoint Yor from a scent and sound of her footprint... From her accent and sound of her footfall.
Like I know he's fictional but creeper.

Mehso-so

This volume is back with the action adventure I was hoping for.

Nothing against Anya but sometimes she takes away from the original plot but anyways this volume was more of Loid being his operative self and hunting down a mole in their midst.

All in all this was a good volume and thanks to that illegal cliffhanger, I'm off to find the next volume at the library.

Arsenic and Old Lace | Joseph Kesselring
post image

Cary Grant is my fave Old Hollywood actor (I own all 72 of his movies 😳). My fave movie of his by far is the hilarious dark comedy Arsenic & Old Lace. It was filmed in 1941 but released in 1944. During this time, Cary became a United States citizen & donated his entire salary from this movie to the war effort. Can‘t recommend it enough!

AnnCrystal 👏🏼🤩🎬😍👍🏼...LOVE Cary Grant! And I'm the worst fan, because I haven't watched all his movies nor do I own them 🤔😂...Bravo! I didn't even know that he donated his entire salary, a sweet Champion!

Excellent Haiku 👏🏼🐝👍🏼🎬🐝💖.

BBC made his life story. I so hope I get to see it one day. Have you? I read that his childhood wasn't a happy one. As an adult, he found his mother (who his father told him was dead), and took care of her 💝.

AnnCrystal P.S.

I always wanted to see a continuation to Arsenic & Old Lace...a fun storyline might be where Mortimer's child or grandchild comes to own the “house“ by inheritance. It's been all boarded up and abandoned by Mortimer. The grandchild goes against the warning left by Mortimer, and plans to open a restaurant or B&B only to learn the place is haunted by the buried bodies in the basement and “the uncle.“

I'm always making up continuations 😂🎬💝.

JenlovesJT47 @AnnCrystal ooh that sounds so intriguing! You should write some fanfiction! I downloaded a copy of the play today, I‘ve never read it. There are a bunch of Cary bios, I‘m not sure which one the BBC is but I‘ve seen most of them, they‘re very good. Jason Isaacs played Cary in a movie a couple of years ago, based on Dyan Cannon‘s book about him. It‘s not perfect but he did a good job. They focus a lot on his mom and their difficult relationship. 3w
JenlovesJT47 @AnnCrystal I cannot for the life of me remember the name of the bio I‘d call the “definitive” one, but it came out in the mid 2000s and I have a copy of it on DVD somewhere, I‘ll have to dig it out. The movie with Jason Isaacs is called Archie. It‘s a miniseries. They mess up the timelines of some of the dates which irked me, but other than that, I enjoyed it. Dyan‘s book is very good, as is his daughter‘s, Jennifer. Can‘t get enough of Cary. ♥️ 3w
AnnCrystal Thank You @JenlovesJT47, I will keep this screen shot for reference info...I need to become a better fan 😂👌🏼, even with my Batman obsession, I am so far behind on info. 💝🤔💝🤗💝. (edited) 3w

It helped that while reading this book, I had Alexei's voice in my head, from deranged apoplexy to soft thoughtfulness. He's humorous, but as with much comedy adapted from standup routines, it's infinitely better hearing it being performed, so I again recommend checking out his radio show 📻🤣

"Here, I'll tell you what I hate - Fascism! I can't stand it, me, I think it's really, really terrible. I do. I think it's bang out of order. That's just me, though. You might like it, you might think it's OK. Indeed, you might be a fan of radical authoritarian nationalism but I think you'd be wrong."

"John Maynard Keynes said, "When the facts change, I change my opinion." But when you're in a cult, when the facts change, you change the facts! To the end of her life my mother would never admit that there was anything wrong with the Soviet Union. The most she would admit was, "Mistakes were made." But as she used to say, "You can't make an omelette without murdering forty million people.""

Bookwomble Alexei wrote this in 2017. The linked article is from the same year. Both, sadly, even more relevant now:

I love Alexei Sayle's Imaginary Sandwich Bar radio show. There isn't much Marxist comedy on the BBC (or anywhere else, probably!), so where else am I going to get ideologically sound laughs? ✊🏻🚩😂
Most of all, he's funny, and if you need some dark, absurdist humour in your life, I encourage you to listen to Alexei:
