Am I asking for too much? Did the mirror call my bluff?

I am home from a slightly frustrating doctor's appointment. Have a picture of Autolycus enjoying Bird Theater from the windowsill beyond my desk.



To match the Québécois locations of Hitchcock's inventively rigorous and underrated nail-biter I Confess (1953), which we can now deeply regret missing at the HFA in 2013, I showed spatch 1952 Glendale in Crime Wave (1954), which seems to have secured its place as one of my favorite B-movies. I am never going to get over the ghost machine of film.

Autolycus looks gorgeous.

He is the most photogenic cat, except when he decides to investigate the camera and I get a smear of nose.

I'm sorry the appt was frustrating.

Thank you. Solidarity on your medical travails, alas.

The noble nose! The amazing paw! I wish your doctor were half as good a doctor as your cat is a cat.

Thank you! That would be some doctor.

Such excellent 1952 Glendale footage in Crime Wave.

Even more than The Naked City (1948), it feels like just hanging out in town for the duration of the story. It isn't even a Christmas movie, but there's the municipal tinsel. I love it.

Good gravy.

Doctor, cat, or movies?

*hugs*

[selkie]

Oh, doctor. The cat speaks for himself and the movies I can't really weigh in on, but to the doctor I can say ad infinitum, GOOD GRAVY.

Bird Theater! LOL!

Hestia and Autolycus would like it to be dinner theater.

Aw, bird theatre seems to be as absorbing as film!

I'm sorry about the rest, but I am glad film could at least provide something good in the way of distraction.

Our cats sometimes bat at the screen while we are watching, but they chatter only at the windows.

I'm sorry about the rest, but I am glad film could at least provide something good in the way of distraction.
