Dead Man's Eyes (1944)

"I wouldn't be surprised if this man were insane. He wouldn't be the first one who'd gone mad studying the processes of the mind."

"Precisely, Captain. I compliment you on your sagacity."

"You know, it's people like you that have caused me to steer clear of all this book psychology."

Universal's saddest lump of clay Lon Chaney‚ back doing what he does best (having a dreadful time) #he starts off in high spirits here; he's got it all‚ a career as an up and coming artist‚ a devoted model‚ a loving fiancee and her #moneybags patron father‚ and best of all he has a little shelf on which he keeps his big bottle of eyewash next to his identical big bottle #of acid. truly what more could a man ask for. but what's that... no Lon! surely not! whoever could have foreseen such a tragic incident.. #so yeah Lon loses his eyes‚ then gets new eyes but may have murdered to get them. cue classic did he didn't he shenanigans and the usual #absurdly dickish cop poking in his nose and basically bullying everyone. high melodrama nonsense but for the first time this film shows #some cracks around the edges; the cast are more variable than in the previous films‚ with Acquanetta stilted and monotone while Ed Fielding #goes too far the other way as a constantly shouting and gesticulating father figure. outside of Lon‚ Gomez is probably the best value #and seems to be having genuine fun as the asshole investigating the case. not quite as good as sanctums 1 and 2 and with a touch more #chauvinism to it (particularly in the way Acquanetta is consistently described as moody or difficult‚ or how all the male characters #discuss Parker's romantic future without her even being present let alone asked) but it still has fun nonsense to be found

Jane Darwell, George Meeker, Paul Weigel, and June Clyde in a publicity still for Back Street (1932). Jane was born in Palmyra, Missouri, and had 211 acting credits, from eight 1913 shorts to Mary Poppins in 1965. She has eleven entries among my best 1,001 movies, with four directed by John Ford, including her Oscar winner, The Grapes of Wrath. This is her fourth honorable mention, after The Scarlet Empress, All Through the Night, and Mary Poppins.

Birthday remembrance - George Meeker #botd

LARAQUE: Because a conservative sport—if players are too conservative, how do you help grow the game? You want everyone to get to know you. If you want people to know the athletes, you need to know their personality.

HARRIS: Showing personality is huge. I feel like the more that kids can relate to players, the more that kids can get to know players, or players of color... and there's the younger kids who might watch hockey, and there might be a Black kid and he might not see anyone that looks like him, or maybe acts like him on the ice. I feel like there needs to be more coverage around how players really are, and get to show that fun and the culture, and show that we're humans. I feel like that would go a long way.

— Jordan Harris, Georges Laraque and Meeker Guerrier on Black history

#jordan harris #montreal canadiens #habs #* #i truly believe jharris is so well-spoken and measured and i love how this conversation was facilitated #really wonderful dialogue between him and laraque and it makes me think of how #duke spoke about how big laraque was in motivating him and the haitian community in quebec to play hockey T__T ah

1980s Horror Film Character Names

I totally forgot I’d started making this last year! I think I never posted it because I wanted to find more names, but there’s already a decent amount and I don’t feel like being that tedious about names right now lol.

It’s first & last names (separated for mix & match potential) of characters from iconic late 1970s & 1980s horror movies. I think I started looking for cheesier B-movies to pull from, but yeah it’s been a whole year so I forget.

Irene Dunne and John Boles in Back Street (John M. Stahl, 1932)

Cast: Irene Dunne, John Boles, George Meeker, Zasu Pitts, June Clyde, William Bakewell, Arletta Duncan, Doris Lloyd, Paul Weigel, Jane Darwell, Shirley Grey, James Donlan, Walter Catlett, James McWade. Screenplay: Gladys Lehman, Lynn Starling, based on a novel by Fannie Hurst. Cinematography: Karl Freund. Art direction: Charles D. Hall. Film editing: Milton Carruth. 

The 1932 version of Back Street (the first of three films Hollywood made from Fannie Hurst's novel) suggests that there are some things you couldn't say even in a pre-Code movie. Ray Schmidt (Irene Dunne) and Walter Saxel (John Boles) have fallen in love, but he's engaged to a woman of whom his mother approves. He thinks that if his mother meets Ray, she might be inclined to let him break off the engagement and marry her instead. But on the day of the scheduled meeting, Ray's sister, Freda (June Clyde), comes to her in distress: The man she's been seeing is leaving town and she desperately needs Ray's help in persuading him to stay. If he doesn't, she tells Ray, she'll kill herself -- and she opens a window to prove the point. Why is Freda so desperate? The answer becomes apparent with an exchange of Meaningful Glances: She's pregnant. The word or any of its variants is never spoken. So Ray misses the meeting with Mother and loses the chance to marry Walter. Years pass and Ray and Walter meet again, after he's married and become a wealthy businessman. He sets her up in an apartment as his mistress, which she tolerates for a time until she realizes what she's lacking in life and begs him, "Walter, give me a child." Walter is shocked at the very idea. The mechanics of an illicit sexual relationship, including the veiled subject of contraception, are summed up in the reticence around Freda's plight and Ray's plea to Walter, which sounds a bit like she wants him to go down to the baby store and pick one off the shelf. Euphemisms aside, your acceptance of the movie depends to some degree on whether you enjoy watching Dunne, an actress who can slip into coyness and archness. The film gives her a gamut to run, from the flirtatious Ray who likes to drink beer with the fellows in the early part of the film, to the nobly suffering kept woman of the later part. Boles is a little stiff in his role, though that rather suits the character. On the whole, Back Street is a solid "woman's picture" of the kind that would be treated with more life and color by filmmakers like Douglas Sirk in the 1950s.
