If you’d like to remember Elizabeth Montgomery’s birthday, THE LEGEND OF LIZZIE BORDEN (1975) is on YouTube.
The BEWITCHED star earned her 8th Emmy nomination as the (maybe) ax murderess in this ingenious TV movie originally broadcast on ABC. She's scary good.
Glad to hear Fritz Lang’s THE BIG HEAT (1953) is coming to Criterion 4K and Blu-ray.
Jeanette Nolan's grieving-housewife-to-smirking-black-widow pivot is one of my favorite depictions of Noir villainy.

#Oppenheimer (2023)
The life story of J. Robert Oppenheimer, the physicist who had a large hand in the development of the atomic bombs that brought an end to World War II.
Bleak doesn't even cover this. However, I can picture a scenario similar to this. Nuanced, thought-provoking, an excellent bit of cinema.

This came out of nowhere, but now I'm obsessed. A Scottish samurai flick sounds like a weird mix, but this trailer sets the perfect tone. 
Alright class, let's see how much you've learned from following me.
If the production budget for the film is $127 million... and assuming they spend about $100 million on advertising (based on industry standards)...
How much money should the film make at the box office in order to break even?
