Decades after creating the #GIF image format, he woke up one day to a world that thinks he's an idiot for not knowing how to pronounce the name of his own creation.

Watched the 1950 film #BornYesterday with its award-winning performance by the great Judy Holiday for the first time the other day. A greedy thug and abuser of women comes to Washington to throw his weight around. The parallels with the current moment made my head spin. #film #culture #history #democracy https://youtu.be/qs-ZH0g6oLA?si=TWhjXGGrYuynGVpH

Just re-watched "Born Yesterday" again (Judy Holliday, Broderick Crawford, William Holden, et al.), a 1950 movie adapted from a 1946 stage play. It's surprisingly relevant to the US political situation today, with Crawford's role strongly reminiscent of Donald Trump.

Interesting movie in current context.

Just noticed a few folks with a #7filmstoknowme hash/meme

So here are seven for me without a lot of deep thought or prioritizing, but my first draft had a too-obvious theme of newspaper-plots. But I would really like to do one list per decade.
