I just hit 700 followers! 

WOW! I’m not sure where all of you new folks are coming from, especially considering I had about twenty fewer when I checked tumblr earlier today, but I’m certainly glad you’re here.

I’d like to thank EVERY SINGLE ONE OF YOU for following. Please know that I do not follow everyone back as I try to keep my dash stuck in the mid-20th century, but I will be checking out all of your archives shortly.

And as a shameless plug, I also have a wordpress blog where I post film reviews and the like, for anyone who is interested in reading!

Thanks again for following, and I hope you enjoy what you find here!!

Today I’ll be capping The Fountainhead (1949) 

and I’ve never seen it before, so I’ll also be reviewing it on TMP (though it’ll be about a week and a half before it’s up, because I have 11 reviews drafted right now).

I’m finishing Her Highness and the Bellboy (1945) right now, so feel free to ~watch along~ in 15 minutes or so if you’d like!
