Close-Up

Close-Up is a 1948 film noir. This one includes Nazi war criminals.


I always enjoy a drink during a movie, and it's usually coffee:


This photo is from early in 2013, but I've always liked this cup and I'll bet nobody's seen this photo anyway😉

    I saw that film awhile ago, and enjoyed it. Happy T-Day!

    Also, I saw your comment over at Elizabeth's, about the tracking cookies, etc. I didn't like how the link to blog posts last week was to that link thing, and not directly to the blog itself, but I left comments that way, anyway. I don't recall it asking me to accept their cookies, though.

    As an FYI: if you have a Smart Phone and installed Facebook onto it, Facebook uploaded your entire phone contact list to their server, without telling you they did that. (That got revealed by some reporter, then Facebook admitted they did it.) Other Apps on Smart Phones do the same thing. And both iPhone (Apple Smart Phone OS) and Android (Google Smart Phone OS) plan to change their OS so that Bluetooth is always on so they can record anyone else you come in contact with, all to keep you safe from the next covid-19 like pandemic, according to them, by being able to track all of your "physically close encounters" with other people when you're in places like the grocery store, etc. and uploading that information to their server, to save it, and you won't be able to turn off that "feature".

      I probably saw that film on one of your blog posts :)

      My objection had nothing to do with cookies. I make my internet decisions in as informed a manner as I can, and I recognize the issues with FB. I saw information on the phone contact tracing issue at Wired several months ago: https://www.wired.com/story/apple-google-bluetooth-contact-tracing-covid-19/ I did try to research the linking tool she used but didn't find much. It was more comfortable for me personally to comment on blogs last week through the feed reader I use to subscribe to them rather than going through that linking tool. My explanation obviously caused offense, and I am truly sorry for that. I've learned a lot through this experience.

    I don't think I've heard of this noir or the actors. I like the cool shape of your mug, but I'd reverse the colors so the blue was on the outside. Happy T Day!

      I bought one that was sky blue with white inside but discovered a hairline crack once I got it home. I agree the color reversal would make for a better cup.

    I have NO idea what is wrong with my blogger blog, but I can't see this film, either. It's just a blank spot. It must be my computer, because no one else seems to have a problem seeing the film.

    That is one retro looking mug you got. I agree the cobalt blue would be great on the outside, but it's still a beauty. Thanks for sharing this and your coffee with us, as well as the film, for T this Tuesday, dear.

      I don't think it's a problem with your blog. It's possible it's a computer setting, but I don't know what that would be... This is another Internet Archive film, and they're the ones you don't see. Can you see it on their website at this link? https://archive.org/details/CloseUp_947

      Or it's on Youtube here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=exS70uk4OLk

      I just checked the page in Firefox, and it works there for me, so it's not your browser. I wish I could figure it out. It's a puzzle.

    That yellow cup would cheer me up in the morning. Heaven knows I need something to distract me from whatever "news" is going to be on for the day. I really only want to hear about the weather and DH says "just stick your head out the door". LOL!

    I love the shape of your mug. It's quite deco-period or 40s in style, I think.
