(1359) Afternoon all.

 

23. Was this the dance the chaps were writing of?

Just checking. 😎

I got to speak with Mooné, the "Iranian baddie" whose YMCA dance took over the internet!😍 @hiitsmemooneh

While getting ready for a night out to celebrate with her friends the killing of Ayatollah Ali Khamenei in Iran, she posted a Trump dance video and made the internet fall… pic.twitter.com/cd658RlkGE

21. Careful how you go

18. Another in Birmingham

 

This neat little thriller from 1950 is all the more interesting since Ann Sheridan is the woman in the title. Miss Sheridan is most convincing as she searches for her husband who witnessed a gangland murder and must find him before the underworld does. There are many tense moments along the way especially when she ends up riding on a roller coaster. Good support from Dennis O’Keefe, Robert Keith and Ross Elliott plus a good screenplay help this film rise above B status.

17. Remember this?

16. When time is too tight at times of the day

… plus our chaps are firing much incoming, sometimes the only way I can signpost is this:

That should give you enough data to find all that. Back soon.

 

… and their pollie-puppets:

(0931) Brightening up out there. Lord T has a post up at 1131. (0954)

10. Moo corner

3. Things being bombed and missiled over there

Naturally, the remains of the Iranian regime say the Israelis did it. Then this:

2. DAD at 1310

a) The Paris public prosecutor’s office has opened an investigation into whether the banned far-left movement La Jeune Garde has been reformed.

b) Following a search at Béziers prison, more than 50 cell phones were found in cells. One of the prison’s unions raised the alarm on Monday, March 2nd.

c) Already definitively convicted in Switzerland for rape, Islamic scholar Tariq Ramadan is on trial in Paris for the rapes of three women.

d) In its toxic cocktail of war mania and pathological hatred of Orbán, the EU is betraying its very purpose—and obliterating trust in itself.

e) Villiers-le-Bel (95): He wants to convert to Islam, so he goes to the mosque, takes off his shoes and has them stolen.

1. Over at OoL

(1545) Nearing evening.

 

26. Last for now, chaps and chapesses

25. Wonder where Isabel Oakeshott is – Qatar?

24. Steve’s three Xs in comments

JH: Bit of confusion over these shots of an F-15 pilot parachuting when his plane was hit. I saw a report earlier that it was Iran firing and they were refusing to collect him once landed. Just shows how footage is misused.

Eric Daugherty though says:

“Footage shows an American F-15 fighter pilot who was accidentally shot down by Kuwaiti forces ALIVE and RECOVERING What appears to be a group of local Kuwaitis stopped and let him lay in the back of a vehicle until he could receive proper treatment.”

OSINTdefender says:

“Both the Pilot and Weapons Systems Officer (WSO) onboard the U.S. Air Force F-15E Strike Eagle that crashed this morning over Kuwait due to a “friendly fire” incident, appear to have survived, being found by locals and transferred to local authorities in Kuwait.”

Just saw a report that it was a command failure … did not inform Kuwaitis who were using Patriots. Centcom condfirms crew safe.

A different report: Qatar just SHOT DOWN two Iranian jets that entered their airspace.

23. Flurry of comments from Steve and IYE

Monday [9 to 11]

The important thing is not me reprinting all that but rather bookmarking the post so you can go back and read comments. To answer that question:

22. Getting the idea they don’t like anyone

21. Adorable language

20. Oh dear, what a shame

19. Moo corner

18. Move over, I want your seat

17. Love thy neighbour

16. West better change its perceptions soon

 

With special subtitles for the hard of hearing:

“If what you want from a thriller is in-yer-face mugging, special effects, noise, a booming soundtrack, gore, nudity and flashy editing, this one is not for you.

However if you are a more discerning moviegoer who values a great script, exquisite understated acting, wit, humour and intelligence, and you are willing to overlook the technically rough bits (come on, this was 1935, you cannot measure it by 2005 standards !!) – then enjoy, because you are in for a treat.

Robert Donat is one of the most charming heroes that ever graced the screen, and but for his frail health and loathing of the Hollywood pzazz (he later refused some great movie parts offered to him, which eventually went to the likes of Erroll Flynn and Douglas Fairbanks Jr) he might have become one of the greatest. Watch the dinner scene with the crofters, in which he manages to convey his plight to the wife entirely without words. Great acting. Also the wickedly funny bravura piece at the political rally.

Madeleine Carroll must be among the coolest and feistiest of Hitchcock’s favoured blondes, not as insipid or irrelevant as many of the others were. She is a veritable icicle and it takes a long time for her to thaw, but then watch the sparks fly.

I feel a little sad for the people who cannot be bothered to check out this movie because of the tinny sound or the b&w photography. Forget about those superficialities and concentrate on the real values – the script, the acting, the lighting, photography and camera work -, just allow yourself to get carried away with the fast paced action, and you’ll love it.”
