Brian | Jeremy Cooper

pick

The story of an Irish man living on his own in London whose life takes on new purpose when he discovers a passion for cinema by visiting the compulsively the BFI where me meets similar obsessives. Brian is a character whose life seems inconsequential, but to the reader, the depiction of his thoughts + feelings are compelling + span nearly 40 yrs. Even as a lover of cinema, the film references sometimes overwhelmed me, but I still loved this book.

Vertigo: The Making of a Hitchcock Classic | Dan Auiler

#haikuaday
#haikuhive

Had a major vertigo episode this morning, which prompted me to think of this movie.

Dizziness grips him––
fear and longing twist his heart ...
past the ledge, she falls.

JenlovesJT47 Such a great freaking movie!! Love Jimmy Stewart. Hope you‘re feeling better! ♥️♥️♥️ 3mo

lil1inblue Ooooh! 🤩 This is excellent! Love the mood it evokes. P.S. Hope the vertigo episode has cleared. Those are no fun! 3mo

dabbe @JenlovesJT47 TY! I'm almost normal again. 🥴😅😊 3mo

dabbe @lil1inblue No, they aren't. Reminds me of a college bender ... or two. TY! 🥴😅😊 3mo

TheBookHippie Blech I hate those. 🫣😵‍💫 3mo

Mollyanna Oh no! Hope you are feeling better. Great movie 🎥 Kim Novak was phenomenal in it. 3mo

Butterfinger On one hand, I hate that you had a spell. On the other hand, shout-out to Jimmy Stewart. Funny story @JenlovesJT47 I couldn't think of a password this morning, got really frustrated, and someone yelled out, "It has to deal with Jimmy Stewart." Even Butterfinger, my username. His favorite candy bar. 3mo

JenlovesJT47 @Butterfinger oh that‘s awesome!! I‘ve been a huge Old Hollywood fan since I was 18 and he‘s always been one of my favorites. It‘s A Wonderful Life is my favorite Christmas movie by far. I haven‘t actually watched Vertigo in years but Denise has inspired me! Have you read his book of poetry? It‘s so sweet and so Jimmy lol.

Jimmy Stewart and His Poems

3mo

CBee We all know you just had too many beverages for your birthday yesterday, Denise 😂😂😂 @dabbe (all joking aside, vertigo can kiss my grits) 3mo

Susanita I hope you‘re feeling better. 3mo

Mimi28 Happy belated birthday!! I hope you feel better soon!! I will be sending you something in a week or so I promise. If you want to write me first that would be awesome 😎 without the list I have to find all my letters. Please don‘t be mad or upset with me 🥲 3mo

Butterfinger Oh yes. It was a Christmas present one year. @JenlovesJT47 3mo

JenlovesJT47 @Butterfinger of course! Sounds like my slight obsession with William Holden and Cary Grant 😍🤓😬 3mo

Amiable Ugh! I feel your pain. Literally. I‘ve had vertigo episodes so severe I ended up in the ER. I will go to great lengths to avoid triggering an episode. Hope you are on solid ground ASAP! 3mo

AnnCrystal 🙏🏼🐝 Hope you're all better now 🙏🏼💝. 3mo

MemoirsForMe Great haiku and movie! Hope you‘re feeling better ❤️ 3mo

dabbe @Mimi28 TY! I just emailed you the last list I had. 🩵💙🩵 3mo

dabbe @TheBookHippie Vertigo or college benders? 😂 3mo

dabbe @Mollyanna TY; I am. She was phenomenal, wasn't she? 😍 3mo

dabbe @Butterfinger I had no idea that's why you had your handle! How cool is that? I adore Jimmy Stewart. And @JenlovesJT47, I saw him live on the Johnny Carson show reciting some of his poems from that very book! I must have been 7-8 years old! My favorite movie of his is ANOTHER THIN MAN; he was so good in that one! 😍 3mo

dabbe @CBee Who, me? 😌 Yeah, vertigo totally sucks. I'm doing better now, though. 😍 3mo

dabbe @Susanita TY; I am. 😍 3mo

dabbe @Amiable OMG, I can't imagine. I think we talked about this once before. It totally sucks. I just forget sometimes to move slowly. I whipped my head down to scruff it up with some hair goo, and boy, did I pay for that! I'm doing better now, though. 😍 3mo

dabbe @AnnCrystal TY; I'm doing better. 😍 3mo

dabbe @MemoirsForMe TY; I am. 😍 3mo

JenlovesJT47 Ooh yes I love the Thin Man movies! Nick & Nora are the best! And it was great seeing Jimmy go against type in that one. He‘s such an adorable yet sexy boy next door in his younger years. If you haven‘t seen it you have to watch The Shop Around The Corner around Christmastime. Such a great movie! ♥️ 3mo

Cuilin Oh vertigo sucks!! Both my parents and myself have it. Hope today is a better day. 3mo

TheBookHippie @dabbe vertigo… I loathe it. I didn‘t drink alcohol until my later grownup years. 3mo

julieclair I‘m amazed that, while suffering vertigo, you were still able to haiku about it. How??? Glad you‘re feeling more stable now. 💙 3mo

dabbe @JenlovesJT47 LOVE that one! Way better than YOU'VE GOT MAIL IMHO. That and IT'S A WONDERFUL LIFE = #jimmyfortheholidays 🎄 3mo

dabbe @Cuilin TY; I am doing better today. Have to remind myself to move head slowly! 😍 3mo

dabbe @TheBookHippie Boy, wish I could say the same. My college years were quite something. 🥴 3mo

dabbe @julieclair Oh, I wrote the haiku hours later, after the vertigo had settled down. 💙 3mo

TheBookHippie @dabbe helps to be poor & on your own & working three jobs and protesting & funerals 😭 I was at the clubs -I was just generally the driver 🤣🤷🏻‍♀️ let‘s be real I‘m stubborn and I‘ll be damned if anything controls me. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😵‍💫😵‍💫😵‍💫 3mo

dabbe @TheBookHippie I could have used your resolve back then. 😂 I didn't have much $$ either. That's why we usually went to a place called Dirtbags (still in business) where you could get 50-cent kamikaze shots. Need I say more? 😵‍💫😵‍💫😵‍💫 3mo

JenlovesJT47 Yes I agree!! IAWL is my favorite Christmas movie! You must track down the colorized version, it is so well done. ♥️ 3mo

dabbe @JenlovesJT47 Will do! 💙 3mo

Mimi28 Thanks!! Glad you are feeling better 🩷I am sending you something Tuesday 😊🫶🏽🩷😎 3mo

dabbe @Mimi28 😘😍😘 3mo

A Pictorial History of Horror Movies | Denis Gifford

I check the charity book table at my local shop more in hope than expectation of finding anything I'd be interested in amongst the old cook books, mountains of Jeremy Clarkson drivel and biographies of disgraced celebrities, but today I was rewarded for my perseverance with these two schlocky '70s tomes! 🖤🧌💚💀❤️🧛🏻‍♀️💚🧟‍♀️🖤 😱😁

LeahBergen Cool! 5mo

The_Book_Ninja Still got my Gifford 🙂 5mo

Bookwomble @LeahBergen Cool, but not as cool as @The_Book_Ninja who has his copy from back in the day! 😎 5mo

The Oscars: The Secret History of Hollywood's Academy Awards | Anthony Holden

I can't possibly pick favorites from this list. So random thoughts, instead:

🩵 Up is my favorite movie ever. It warms my icy heart. I cry 3 times during it to this day.
🩵 Philip Seymour Hoffman was one of my favorite actors. I'm so sad he died so young.
🩵 When Pulp Fiction came out, our local art theatre showed it during their Oscar series, and a bunch of elderly ladies who were regulars walked out in disgust. 🤣🫠

#threelistthursday @dabbe

wanderinglynn Love Up! ❤️ 7mo

lil1inblue @wanderinglynn It's just a perfect movie! 😍 7mo

dabbe I gulp-sob snot out of my nose every time I watch the opening of UP! 😭 Thanks for playing and sharing. 🩵💙🩵 7mo

dabbe Fab score, too! 🤩🤩🤩 7mo

lil1inblue @dabbe Yeah, the opening scene is definitely an ugly cry for me, too. 😭 And the score is because the era covers my high school years, when I had a crush on a boy who wanted to become Stanley Kubrick. 😂 He broke my teenaged heart, but he also introduced me to so many good films! 😉 7mo

dabbe @lil1inblue At least one good thing came out of it! 🤗 7mo
