I normally write love corners and not love triangles for threesome stories (which is literally one but yk)

but for the Derek x Reader x Mickey that shit is gonna be gay (still mainly focus on the reader but you know.)

also that story might come up first than the love corner of Mike x Reader x Futturman. sorry (im not sure if I like the plot of that one yet)

I would love to write more love triangles if it’s like a jhutch character with another character of the show/movie ofc not with a jhutch and jhutch character.

im not doing onceler x onceler type shit and i’m tired of ppl making it seem like i am

anyways ask me for Wolf x reader x futturman , Venessa x reader x mike or William x reader x Mike or with other characters yk… (im begging)

JULIE DOING "STUFF WITH FAMOUS PEOPLE (15th post in the series)

Couldn’t love this publicity photo above of Julie with Ann Sheridan more! Their characters were both falling down drunk in this scene from THEY MADE ME A CRIMINAL.

More drinking in a scene, this time scotch with Martha O’Driscoll from THE FALLEN SPARROW.

Julie visits his best buddy—an ailing Gregory Peck—in a scene from GENTLEMAN’S AGREEMENT.

Julie poses with a guitar and his castmates from TORTILLA FLAT. Shown are Spencer Tracy at top, along with Akim Tamiroff, John Qualen, and Allen Jenkins.

More posing! This time with Walter Brennan and George Tobias in NOBODY LIVES FOREVER.

This ridiculous shot is from the same film with Julie packing a wallop to George Coulourus. It’s reminiscent of old Batman TV Show punches! Julie HAD to do it. George has a gun!

How about one more punch pose from FORCE OF EVIL?

No drinking. No punching. No guitar playing. Just a chat with director, Tay Garrett behind the scenes of THE POSTMAN ALWAYS RINGS TWICE.

Julie’s charm still shines through this grainy photo as Joan Crawford gives him an knitting lesson on the set of HUMORESQUE.

Julie—a cofounder of the Hollywood Canteen alongside Bette Davis—introduces Davis’s favorite director, William Wyler to the audience. The Canteen was created to entertain armed forces personnel passing through the area during WWII.

Kay Francis and William Powell in One Way Passage (Tay Garnett, 1932)

Cast: William Powell, Kay Francis, Aline MacMahon, Frank McHugh, Warren Hymer, Frederick Burton, Roscoe Karns, Herbert Mundin. Screenplay: Wilson Mizner, Joseph Jackson, Robert Lord. Cinematography: Robert Kurrie. Art direction: Anton Grot. Film editing: Ralph Dawson.

One Way Passage is a small gem that won an Oscar for best story by Robert Lord, though the story is by no means the best thing about it. It is, for example, a prime demonstration of romantic movie chemistry in its teaming of Kay Francis and William Powell. She plays a woman dying of MHM (Mysterious Hollywood Malady), and he's a convicted murderer who is going to be hanged at San Quentin. They meet in a somewhat seedy bar in Hong Kong. She bumps into him and makes him spill his drink, and when they exchange glances it's love at first sight. If you ever want to know what the phrase "acting with the eyes" means, just check out that scene. When they part, they smash their glasses and leave the stems crossed on the bar -- a gesture that becomes a motif through the film, even providing a near-perfect ending for it. They meet again soon, boarding a ship bound for San Francisco, though she's accompanied by her doctor (Frederick Burton) and he by the cop (Warren Hymer) taking him to his doom. The rest is just a matter of working out ways to keep their fatal secrets from each other as their romance blossoms. And if that were all there were to it, One Way Passage really wouldn't be much of a movie. Fortunately, there's as much larceny as love on board, with the introduction of con artist Barrel House Betty (the wonderful Aline MacMahon), who is posing as the Comtesse Barilhaus and is aided by a lightfingered lush known as Skippy (Frank McHugh); they seem to have fleeced their way around the world. A romance even develops between Betty and the cop as a comic counterpart to the main one. The screenplay by Wilson Mizner (who was something of a con artist himself) and Joseph Jackson gives us some salty tough talk dialogue to offset the romantic melodrama of the main plot. (Mizner and Jackson probably deserved the Oscar at least as much as Lord, but at the time, the Academy treated story and screenplay as two discrete categories.) The Production Code would probably have forced the screenwriters to tell us more about the murder Powell's character committed, but all we get is a suggestion that the victim had it coming to him. That everything in the movie comes in at only a little over an hour -- 67 minutes -- is another reason to cherish One Way Passage.

August 5th Is Robert Taylor's Birthday

August 5th would have been Robert Taylor’s 112th birthday. Robert Taylor’s career spanned four decades.  Mr. Taylor belonged to the greatest generation, loved his country and his family.  Robert Taylor was an extremely talented and versatile actor and a good  man, husband and father.  We could use more like him today. Martha Crawford Cantarini, stunt woman. “He was one of the legendary faces in…

I haven't really scratched the surface about these mercurial musician figures in my discussions on them and their works that continue to astound us with their strong ability to be quite surprising. Nonetheless, I would say Miles Davis should be seen as one of the most prominent members of the category thanks to him basically remodifying himself a lot throughout his career. Look, he could've coasted on what he did during the 50's and the 60's, yet his 70's remain one of the most shocking explorations in … well, we should say jazz, he was the master of the idiom, though his albums from In A Silent Way basically went into the weirdest directions, causing many to be baffled by Davis' direction. However, Davis' 70's records show you the sort of freedom only jazz can provide.
