I'm not here for politics but for movies, art & humor. If those are the focus of your acct I'll probably follow. I'll likely also post about the mindf*ck of getting older.

1960s boy actor Billy Mumy squinting his eyes with derision and threat as he points to someone off screen.
Against an orange background, the very top (only) of a bald headed man pokes out of a turtleneck sweater so tall it covers almost all of the man's head.
Simple movie poster (all white background) of all lower case letters that reads "an unmarried woman" (with the "o" in woman being a wedding ring slightly lower as if it's falling away) and actress Jill Clayburgh sits casually on the word "unmarried," perhaps looking bored or maybe wryly amused.
The gill man creature reaching out for a pretty lady who is screaming.
Venn diagram with three faces: inside the left circle is Adolf Hitler, inside the right circle is Alfred E. Neuman the logo and face of Mad Magazine, where they overlap in the center is the face of Donald Trump.
Entertainers Carol Burnett and Cher. Both dressed in stylish dresses, in a photo of them from the waist up.
Three protesters dressed as Wizard of Oz characters and holding signs: the Tin Man's sign reads "Ice has no Heart." The Cowardly Lion's sign says "GOP has no courage." And the Scarecrow's sign says "Trump has no brain."
Short video clip from the Buster Keaton silent comedy "One Week." Photographed from the side, an early 1900s car is backed up to an old house. Buster is in the driver's seat. Then the car chassis slowly pulls forward out from under the seat, holding Keaton, the seat still attached to the house, and the car chassis slowly drives toward the left of the frame.
In a parody of a paper towel advertisement, an illustration of Donald Trump with a forest of trees far behind him, and in front of him the words: "Donny. The Quicker Fucker Upper." (The paper towel ad being parodied, not shown here, says, "Bounty. The Quicker Picker Upper.")
Actor Joseph Whipp dressed as the sheriff in the movie Scream from 1996.
Actress Drew Barrymore holding a phone to her ear and appearing very frightened.
On the bridge of the starship Enterprise (the original series), Sulu looks over his shoulder into the camera (point of view of the Captain), and forward of Sulu is the viewing screen with the Monty Python character the "Knight Who Says 'Ni'").
Closeup of actress Christina Ricci with the nose of a pig.
Cartoon graphic of a man among objects like a globe, office desk, cityscape. Words on the graphic say, "Your personality type is ARCHITECT. INTJ-T."
A gnarled bruised hand visible from the wrist outside of a pink-ish blanket on a bed.
Actors Don Ameche, Hume Cronyn and Wilford Brimley in their elder years in the 1985 movie "Cocoon."
Closeup of a person's head wearing a full head-covering mask with a pixelated design over all of it. (With holes for eyes and mouth)
Lyrics: Junkies down in Brooklyn are going crazy They're laughing, just like hungry dogs in the street Policemen are hidin' behind the skirts of little girls Their eyes have turned the color of frozen meat No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no Joan Crawford has risen from the grave Joan Crawford has risen from the grave
Black and white photo of a storefront with two tables holding vegetables for sale under an awning the length of the store.
Movie poster showing some of the characters in the movie "A Town Called Panic." A horse, a cowboy, an Indian, the three main stars of the film. Plus a few other minor characters far in the background.
Color photo of dirty old off-white double doors in the center of a building with horizontal slats of wood. The entire scene looks like one half of the image is duplicated on the other side. Right and left sides are symmetrical and nearly exact: one of the double doors (both framed with an old wood door jamb); nearer the foreground are wooden support columns on each side and, behind them, on each side, old windows. The double doors and building are back from the foreground, with a sort of wooden walkway between the doors and pillars in the foreground.
Collage of the men named in the post.
Actor Ray Milland in closeup. He has a scar on his right cheek and his eyes look monstrous; almost metallic, bright yellow or gold with dark pupils and the surrounding whites of his eyes are black.
Nearly full profile picture of film director Andre de Toth taken from his right side and wears an eye patch on his left eye. (He lost his eye in an accident as a boy.)
Lobby card for "Pitfall" showing actors Dick Powell and Lizabeth Scott.
Eight various scenes from the movie "The Big Combo" showing the classic "film noir" cinematography of John Alton. Lots of dark scenes with splashes of light, like a shaft of light through a window or silhouettes of people against a foggy background. And so on.
Actor Toshiro Mifune smiling and winking at the camera as he holds a glass and champagne bottle. Paper streamers hang over his shoulders, a mask is pushed up onto the top of his head and behind him look like what could be balloons.
Police car chasing another car on a freeway at night.
Actress Sally Field wearing a white nun's habit and a large cornette (hat) that looks somewhat like bird wings, pictured against a partly cloudy sky as she is in flight as "The Flying Nun."
Top of palm tree in heavy rain against a cloudy sky.
Actor Bruce Willis from a scene in "Die Hard" and wearing a Santa hat. (A modification by someone discussing this film because he never actually wears a Santa hat in the film.)
Top of a palm tree, small part of the trunk visible at the bottom of the image, fronds slightly blown toward the left by the wind, against a medium blue sky and clouds along the bottom of the image.
A collage-grid of six photos of various Russian foods.
