You HAVE to make time to watch #BreakfastAtTiffanys, which despite the racist portrayal of #MickeyRooney in #YellowFace as Heartburn's (Holly GoLightly's) upstairs neighbor, is one of my fave movies of all time.
It's ranked 61st in one the AFI's list of 100 best movies ever made & the AFI later ranked the movie's theme song -- #MoonRiver at 4th of 109 mobies for the best song.

Nelio Biedermann – Lázár
In seinem zweiten Roman „Lázár“ entwirft Nelio Biedermann das unterkühlte Porträt einer wohlhabenden Familie, deren Glanz nach außen hin makellos scheint, während das Fundament längst Risse zeigt. Im Zentrum steht der junge Lazár, der in einer Welt des „Old Money“, strenger Konventionen und erdrückender Erwartungen aufwächst. Biedermann skizziert […]

Das ikonische Standbild: Audrey Hepburn in schwarzem Kleid, mit Zigarettenspitze, Hochsteckfrisur, Perlenkette, vor dem Schaufenster von Tiffany & Co., einsam wie ein Denkmal. Ein Bild, das sich in das kollektive Gedächtnis eingebrannt hat wie ein Werbeplakat für eine Zukunft, die nie kam. Ein Bild, das – so feministisch man(n) sich auch bemüht – leider nicht verschwinden will. Es ist schön. Es ist gefährlich. Weil es so tut, als würde es etwas erzählen, das es in Wahrheit verschweigt. (ARD, Wh)

Prompt 45 - a book with a title that starts with the letter "Y" - August 15, 2025 - This book is messed up. I sincerely hope for all the authors out there that the publishing world is not this diabolical.

I just re-watched the 1958 version of #TheQuietAmerican (starring Audey Murphy, an English actor whose name you'd never remember & an Italian actress in #YellowFace) which is set in #Indochina (aka #VietNam) in the 50's during the Vietnamese war vs the #French colonialist but is really about a #LoveTriange between an #American (who is probably a CIA -- then still probably known as the OSS -- agent, an English journalist & his Vietnamese mistress.
The film was remade in 2002 in a movie by the same name starring Michael Caine & Brendan Frazer. The 1958 movie is the better of the 2.
I have mixed feelings about this movie about 2 white men competing for an Asian woman, which reeks of the white male fetishization of Asian women but, if you strip away the inter-racial aspects of the film, it's mainly about what a man will do to save his relationship (including setting up his rival to be murdered) with the woman he loves.
I still give it a 6 out of 10 & own the DVDs of both versions.
I saw an earlier broadcast of #Yellowface on #PBS &, like others of Hwang's plays, I didn't like it. 🤷♂️
But #FrancisJue won a @TonyAward last night for his performance in the play on #Broadway (beating out #DanielDayKim who was nominated in another category) but I don't know what role Jue played because I turned off the show before he made an appearance.
So, I'll record the show again on 6/30 to take an actual look at Jue's performance.

#bumblebees accidentally moved with some leaf compost here in Seattle, by in-laws.
Gentle critters; was able to scoop up entire assemblage on top of a double-handful of litter and put it all back in original location-- while the bees hovered along for the trip.
#YellowFace species? Not sure; IANAE. 🙂
