A great night in London presenting How to Marry a Millionaire last night for the BFI - their series, Marilyn Monroe: Self-Made Star, is top notch-so many wonderful discussions & in depth looks at her career and artistry & more. Thanks so much to the BFI and everyone who attended.
July 9th! I will be in London presenting Jean Negulesco's "How to Marry a Millionaire" as part of the BFI's Monroe series, Self-Made Star. See brilliant Marilyn in all of her comic timing glory, wonderful Betty Grable and the great Lauren Bacall.
Happy Birthday to Marilyn Monroe & to two of our best film writers, the insightful & lovely @kimmorgan.bsky.social & @candicefrederick.bsky.social! Read their work asap!

"She’s known by everyone, but, wonderfully, we will never know all of her. Because we keep re-acquainting ourselves, she remains a perennial contemporary." Kim Morgan @kimmorgan.bsky.social reflects on our enduring love for Marilyn Monroe airmail.news/issues/2026-...
The Enduring Fascination With Marilyn Monroe
She continues to fascinate us, a century after her birth, because we’re still trying to figure her out.

In the June @sightsoundmag.bsky.social devoted to our beloved Marilyn Monroe & her 100 years, this June 1st, I wrote about Huston's The Misfits & Marilyn's complex, moving performance. Also, check out the fantastic cover piece by @selfstyledsiren.bsky.social & all the Marilyn features inside.
@kimmorgan.bsky.social on 2night's #NoirAlley flick #HisKindOfWoman: "This is a pot-smoker’s movie, a stoner noir with a knotty plot and loads of characters doing weird shit – characters who seem, not just stoned, but who make you feel stoned once you settle into the thing." #TCMParty #TCMPotParty

Scarecrow: rediscovering a gem of 1970s cinema
Even after a lifetime’s viewing, there are still more film treasures to discover, as Geoff Andrew found with the unjustly neglected 1973 road movie Scarecrow, starring Al Pacino and Gene Hackman.

Im posting my Udo piece , sad, a photo I moved erased an important graph - Here it is - back in the piece - so please read again - and again, Udo forever -https://thesunsetgun.com/2025/11/25/the-eye-of-the-universe-udo-kier/
My day and discussion with beloved Udo from 2014 when we drove around the desert and talked ... and went to thrift stores. And more: thesunsetgun.com/2025/11/25/t...
So sad to lose this absolute legend and friend. No one ever was or ever will be like him. A great loss to cinema and to the world. But he will live on to me and to everyone who loved him -- and so many loved him -- and he still shines bright. Udo Forever.
FRANKENSTEIN is on NETFLIX but- still in many theatres- please consult your local listings and choose your watch/rewatch preference!
𖤐Malak Gorcrow𖤐@malgor666.bsky.social · 9mo agoWhere do I even begin? Guillermo del Toro @realgdt.bsky.social has created an absolute masterpiece. I only wish I’d had the chance to experience it on the big screen. The story of Frankenstein has been told countless times, but never like this.
How did Guillermo del Toro’s new Frankenstein film take inspiration from the Hunterian Museum? @realgdt.bsky.social
Out today! The gorgeous Criterion edition of Nightmare Alley. More here: www.criterion.com/films/35272-...
Guillermo del Toro’s #Frankenstein poured magnificence through me as I watched, still running through me. Like opera or poetry, it’s both vast & intimate. Can’t wait to watch again & again. Kudos!

The director’s interpretation of Mary Shelley’s classic novel is the movie he was born to make.
