#MondayMuggers presents FAREWELL, MY LOVELY (1975) starring Robert Mitchum!

Posted on by Bradley Crain

Every Monday night at 9:00 Central Time, my wife Sierra and I host a “Live Movie Tweet” event on X using the hashtag #MondayMuggers. We rotate movie picks each week, and our tastes are quite different. Tonight, Monday June 2nd, we are showing FAREWELL, MY LOVELY (1975) starring Robert Mitchum, Charlotte Rampling, John Ireland, Sylvia Miles, Anthony Zerbe, Harry Dean Stanton, Jack O’Halloran, Joe Spinell, and Sylvester Stallone.

FAREWELL, MY LOVELY finds Los Angeles private eye Philip Marlowe being hired by paroled convict Moose Malloy to find his girlfriend Velma, a former seedy nightclub dancer. All kinds of intrigue ensues as Robert Mitchum puts his droopy-eyed, world-weary spin on the famous detective!

So join us tonight for #MondayMuggers and watch FAREWELL, MY LOVELY! It’s on Amazon Prime. The trailer is included below:

Tonight’s #MondayActionMovie Will Be Bulletproof!

Posted on by Jedadiah Leland

Tonight’s #MondayActionMovie will be Bulletproof (1987), a movie that I know nothing about, other than it stars Gary Busey and Henry Silva and it’s about a stolen tank!  The movie starts at 8:00 eastern and the event takes place on Mastodon, the social network that time forgot.

I was hesitant about joining Mastodon because I’m hesitant about every social network.  Back in the day, I deleted MySpace after two weeks.  I have never joined Facebook.  It took Lisa five years to convince me to get on twitter.  I really only joined Mastodon to support Monday Action Movie but I’m glad I did because it is a nice, low-pressure social network.  I haven’t joined Bluesky and I’m not going to.

Back to Bulletproof, it’s on YouTube.  If you’re on Mastodon, join in using the #MondayActionMovie.  I’ll be there.  Lisa should be there.  It’s fun, I promise!

A Scene That I Love: The Cornfield Chase From Interstellar (2014, Dir. by Christopher Nolan)

Posted on by Dazzling Erin

When you talk about movies that feature great landscapes, you have to include Interstellar and the scene where Matthew McConaughey and his kids chase a drone through a cornfield.  The cornfield was real, Nolan actually planted corn to create it.  The cinematography, in this scene and throughout the entire film, is amazing.  When I saw this scene in the theater, it took my breath away.

 

4 Shots From 4 Films: Celebrating Beautiful Landscapes

Posted on by Dazzling Erin

4 Or More Shots From 4 Or More Films is just what it says it is, 4 shots from 4 of our favorite films. As opposed to the reviews and recaps that we usually post, 4 Shots From 4 Films lets the visuals do the talking!

As a photographer, I love movie that feature shots of beautiful landscape.  Here are four of my favorites!

4 Shots Of 4 Beautiful Landscapes

The Quiet Man (1952, Dir by John Ford)

Barry Lyndon (1975, Dir by Stanley Kubrick)

Days of Heaven (1978, Dir by Terrence Malick)

Nomadland (2020, dir by Chloe Zhao)

 

Music Video of the Day: Only by Anthrax (1993, directed by Paul Elledge)

Posted on by Jedadiah Leland

Rocking with Anthrax!

This song is off of Anthrax’s sixth studio album, Sound of White Noise and it was one of their bigger hits from the John Bush era.  No less than James Hetfield referred to this as being a “perfect song.”  The video mixes surreal imagery with clips of the band playing.

If the man with the mirror looks familiar, that’s because he’s played by Frank Silva, who was also Killer Bob on Twin Peaks.  This was Silva’s only role outside of Twin Peaks.

Director Paul Elledge was a photographer who also directed videos  for Ministry.

Enjoy!

Song of the Day: Oops! I Did it Again, covered by Nouveau Lounge and Amanda Stewart

I’ve always liked this cover version of the classic Britney Spears song.  Plus, I actually got to see these guys perform in London a few years ago!

Here is today’s song of the day.

Andy Griffith tells a story about football in 1953! 

Posted on by Bradley Crain

Andy Griffith’s “What It Was, Was Football” is a classic, comic monologue about a naive country preacher who stumbles upon a football game and tries to make sense of something he’s never seen before. Needless to say, it’s hilarious, and it highlights just what a great comedian Griffith is. In honor of what would have been Andy Griffith’s 99th birthday, I gave it a listen, and now I share it with you. Enjoy!
