@kcfennessy Thanks!

@sallitt Thank you! And many more to you!

@DepartedAviator Makes sense that he would love YOUNG AT HEART, too. Very interesting melodrama. Sinatra and Doris Day just great in it.

@BohemiaStable Just read this (out loud, to my wife)! Felt like Dame Agatha may have read a few Patricia Highsmith novels recently....

Corman bows out when the sky looks like the color palette of PREMATURE BURIAL. A giant. I have a hard time finding a lazy shot in his films, even the junkiest ones. An appreciation of NOT OF THIS EARTH here: https://t.co/R20aZo4tVF

Tomorrow, Saturday April 20th, I'll be leading another free online session in Scarecrow Academy's "Politics on Film" series, this time a conversation about Spike Lee's Malcolm X. That's 2 pm Pacific Time. Join us? https://t.co/gs9kMtP5o5

@wright_andrew @Glenn__Kenny Utterly glorious

[Robert Horton @citizenhorton]

@Glenn__Kenny His mastery of the weird, mid-sentence stutter-pause (a function of improv comedy?) is something I've always been in awe of.

@redroomrantings Only essential perf (if a small one) from that list is the Allen, because of what a trouper she is about singing (she can't sing). Her truly essential stuff is her appearances with Letterman - more vibrant and electric than any of her film work.

Going online tonight with this talk, "Un-American Activities: The Blacklist Era and Hollywood," at 6 pm Pacific Time. It's free. Join us? https://t.co/M921nAqCSo

[Robert Horton @citizenhorton]

@BohemiaStable Same edition I read - a fantastic book.

[Robert Horton @citizenhorton]

If you're in the vicinity of Camano Island, WA, tonight, drop by the library and sit in on my talk, "Un-American Activities: The Blacklist Era and Hollywood," at 7 pm. It's free, and so are you, for now. https://t.co/S4UPm7XhmG
