- A crime procedural about a serial killer of children, M is genuinely chilling and provocative, by a man dubbed the "Master of Darkness." A talented Expressionist, Lang fled Germany in '33. His Hollywood films may have lacked Expressionist artistry, but they were tough. #moviesky #films #directors
- Novelist/poet Angela Carter revived and recharged the fairy tale with a feminist perspective and rich magical realism. Born on this day in 1940, she died at 51 of lung cancer. At the time she was working on a sequel to Jane Eyre focusing on Jane's stepdaughter. The possibilities! #booksky #writers
- Charles-Marie-Gustave Le Bon wrote the book on crowd psychology, "The Crowd: A Study of the Popular Mind," used for fairly benign purposes (advertising) and truly awful ends. (Hitler was supposedly a fan). Of course,Trump doesn't read; he must be a. natural. #booksky #writers #MAGA
- "Gary" was his agent's suggestion (she was from the IN city). The son of a prominent Montana rancher and state supreme court justice who was also British, Cooper had both a British education and experience as a cowboy. His politics were right-wing but he opposed the blacklist. #moviesky, #films
