Sigh. I’m back in the real world now, still coming off the high of TCMFF. I have all of my coverage for this year (and previous years) over at this page, in case you wanted to catch up.

This month I should have a few more new-to-the-site Joan Crawford movies reviewed, as well a few other cosmetic updates I’m hoping for.

As for TCM, there’s a lot of great films on. They’re doing a spotlight on film series, and, uh, I should admit I’ve also been distracted as I’m trying to finish up the Maisie series (they’re all so weird). Filmstruck has starts off the monht with a Harlow showcase, followed by a series on newspaper films, and then Joan Crawford to finish it all off. Should be fun.

Just a friendly a reminder: if you want to support my site, you can become a Patron over at Patreon. I’m going to be sending out the Patron bonuses from the last month early next week– two weeks late, but I think you’ll like what you get. Cheers!
