    Wondering what to watch tonight? May I suggest the insect version of Mulan? Mulan is a humble caterpillar fighting against the evil Mala Khan, a locust. Turtles and mice are the same size as them. Rated 3.3/10 on IMDb. Often watched accidentally by people who haven't checked the title properly.

    Love running across Ida Lupino photos I’ve not seen before. Here’s one I stumbled on last night from the third movie she directed: “Outrage” (1950). Mala Powers, the star; Jerry Paris, who had a small but critical role; Ida Lupino, director; Don Weis, dialogue director #IdaLupinoDirecting

    HBD great gay USA director Gus Van Sant, BOTD in 1952, turning 73 today! "Mala Noche" (1986) was his first break-out film, and I met Walt Curtis, whom it's based on, in Portland. Gus & I first became friends when he was shooting his great movie "To Die For" (1995) in Toronto

    28. Mala Tokmachka, 21st Nov. 🇺🇦118th Mech Bde with additional film of the attack. I located a strike on the🇷🇺tank, but IMO it likely continued - abandoned maybe at 47.498343, 35.932398 (0:24 - 0:32 tow cable + open hatch visible). Also two 'Ulan-2s' burn. t.me/SJTF_Odes/13... bsky.app/profile/dans...

    Ray Mala was an Inupiaq movie star during Hollywood's golden age. His biggest hit, the 1933 MGM epic "Eskimo," was filmed in Alaska & featured Mala as the leading man. He went on to success as both an actor and a cinematographer in Hollywood, appearing in more than 25 films before he died in 1952.

Brilliant work by Mel Jones and vital international cricket incorporates them regardless of their government. Good luck to them! 🇦🇫

    Watching this 1933 pre-code film called Eskimo. It stars the handsome Raya Mala who was Native Alaskan himself. Despite the title (which is a slur) it's interesting to see only black and white films where white people are not the main characters. Also, this movie is in Inupiat not English.

    MALA NOCHE (1986, Criterion, #film) Unbearably wonderful. A romantic dirtbag oaf falls in love with a succession of Mexican street kids. It’s naturalistic, tender, ugly, erotic, doomed, intimate, and loving. Why was I not informed we were already issued our TANGERINE? Fuck! It's so goddamn good.

I've never seen any of the actors again, but they're all really effective, especially Tim Streeter as Walt. Portland poet Walt Curtis, whose novel served as source material, died in 2023.
