Tomorrow is #Comedon day, and we'll be watching Preston Sturges's 1941 satire Sullivan's Travels.

As previously described in the paper handouts you received at orientation (you did attend orientation, right?) last week's film, O Brother, Where Art Thou?, took its title from the Sturges movie.

Sturges was the first Hollywood screenwriter to successfully transition to directing and the first person to get the "written and directed by" credit. His screwball comedies are legendary and every single one of them skewers social and class assumptions of their day.

CW: It's from 1941 so odds of some outdated views or language are good.

The watch party starts Thursday April 3 at 6:00 PM PT.

Tonight I’ve been reading about the Hays Code and how they affected what could and couldn’t be shown in films from about 1934 to 1968. Interesting stuff: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hays_Code

It's that time of the month, where the random number generator has picked a year for next month's film viewing.

This time, it's 1948!

I can see there are a couple of Humphrey Bogarts and a Hitchcock, but what else would you recommend?

It's #Comedon Thursday.

This week is the Coen Brothers' O Brother, Where Art Thou? Join in and follow the converstion on the #Comedon hashtag.

Next week we follow up with Preston Sturges's Sullivan's Travels, which is where the Coens got their film's title from.

#Comedon happens Thursdays at 6PT/9ET but I like to think there's a little #Comedon inside all of us all the time. We just have to believe in #Comedon to feel it there when we need it most.

Oh, and also, #Comedon.

Just saw PYGMALION (1938) on 35mm at the Paris Theater in NYC.

Wendy Hiller and Leslie Howard had roughly the same age difference as Audrey Hepburn and Rex Harrison, but their chemistry is infinitely more genuine.

George Bernard Shaw’s Oscar-winning adaptation of his play feels like a screwball comedy. Delightful.

Mar 24 : Fav 4th film in a franchise
