Essential Passes have been sold out since Thursday of last week, but I hope to see you all at the TCMFF 2018.


Just had a 'Brief Encounter' with SSO Guest Author of The Essentials, Jeremy Arnold. Looks like he's working on another book for TCM. He has just hosted 11 intros on the FilmStruck streaming service... Sue Sue has been busy in LA researching Thelma Ritter: Hollywood's Favorite New Yorker.


Happy Thanksgiving!

Author and Film Noir Foundation kingpin Alan K. Rode is having a book sigining for his tome on Michael Curtiz on Saturday at 2 at the illustrious Larry Edmunds Bookstore on Hollywood Boulevard, conveniently next to Bordner's...

Saw film writers Kim Luperi and The Essentials author and SSO Guest Star Jeremy Arnold while plowing through stacks of clippings and research, hunting and pecking out details for Thelma Ritter: Hollywood's Favorite New Yorker....seems Mr. Arnold is hush-hush on his new book for Turner Classic Movies coming sometime in 2018....



AND....here are a few photos from the exciting Julien's Auction featuring jewelry from Joseff of Hollywood and items from the Judy Garland collection.....
