What's Been Going On

So a lot has been going on for me personally and it's bled over to all my other projects. I've had to move my family to another city and am staying in my wonderful life long friends' house and working at my day job. Still that's no excuse for my lack of writing. I want to start writing a weekly article called "The Thing About...." along with more personal essays and "What to Catch on TCM This Week."  I will be re-launching my Patreon after a while and I would like to work on my company publishing my book later on to get more interest in Reckless Press. Not sure if it will be a collection taken from my blog or a photography book. I will also be sharing my photography at some point. But I will be working on my Patreon and re-launching with a few suggestions from @Momo on the Patreon Creator Academy Discord server. Besides giving a 101 on all things Patreon for newcomers, Momo will also give you  a strategy if you are struggling with your Patreon etc. Momo really likes to help people, so if your  on Patreon and need some help, look up Momo on the Patreon-Creator -Academy server on Discord. That's all for right now, follow me on Twitter @ChristineLarran for my song of the day and other musings and @Recklesspressl1 for new posts and updates on Reckless Press and you can join my FaceBook group Reckless Press and find my Patreon here .

What to Catch on TCM This Week - December 30, 2018 - January 5, 2019

This is a new year for TCM and it seems like they are still trying to get their footing after the loss of Robert Osborne, who was the heart of TCM. I think Ben Mankiewicz tries but he just doesn't seem to have the same heart or flare for TCM and what Osborne did for film. We'll have wait and see if it will be a lot of repeats and no new content strategy again this year, I'm hoping that perhaps some new life will get brought in soon. I really miss the Friday night Pulp and B-Movie nights that they used to have, and Foreign Film Sunday nights. It's sad that they stopped doing a lot of that and rely only on the main stream films more often these days, with that said, I'll keep digging around in TCM's schedule and hopefully pull up something that you've always wanted to catch or something new to you that you wouldn't have thought to watch otherwise. I do love TCM with all it has to offer, I just think it has so much broader horizons to achieve and could be one of the best channels out there and could compete with Netflix and Amazon for content if they went full throttle. 

Doctor Zhivago -A love story set during Pre-World War I and the Russian Civil War and into the reign of Stalin. Stunning Cinematography, storytelling and acting come together to make this a classic movie that shouldn't be missed. Omar Sharif gives one of his best performances as Dr.Yuri Zhivago. As the book was banned in Russia the film had to be made mostly in Spain, unfortunately the crew experienced one of the warmest winters in 50 years. Sunday, 2:30 PM MST December 30th

Please check back in the coming days for a few more articles. In the next few weeks everything may transfer to Patreon. 

Reintroduction to Reckless Press and Patreon

Why Does Reckless Press Need a Patreon? Well really it comes down to some personal gains, to help my family with rent and bills, but Reckless Press needs a Patreon to publish our first book and start to collect stories for our first literary journal, podcast equipment, promotion to get authors involved in Reckless Press, overhead, etc. But most of all to be able to focus on Reckless Press full time.

Concept Behind Reckless Press: What we do is make it so that the author owns their works and reaps the rewards financially. How we do that is that authors get paid 60% of the profits after office fees (printing fees, editing, promotion etc.) and we take 40% to cover the fees and we donate 5% off our side of the profits to the charity or non-profit of the authors choice. It’s a way for us and our authors to help our community and to better the world.  We would like to be able to increase our donations over the years by expanding Reckless Press into podcasting and other media arts. We will also have a yearly literary journal that is on a selected topic (this year’s topic is Science Fiction) and a majority of the proceeds will go to a charity and we have a writing contest and there will titles given to our top three writers and we hope to expand to having prizes in the future.

What I Personally Want To Be Able To Do: The main goal is for me to leave my fulltime job and to be able to work on Reckless Press fulltime. To focus on my writing and help find authors for Reckless Press to publish and to start working on the editing and podcast side of Reckless Press as well. I want to be able to turn this little idea into a successful and profitable business. I know that it will mean hard work and that I will have to really focus on getting to write and work done, but I think I’m up for this challenge and want to do the work. 

Why We Would Like To Hit A Goal Of $6,000 A Month:  Mostly this amount will go towards making Reckless Press a reality and for me to have the ability to leave my full time job. This money will go to help with mortgage, bills, website, marketing and publishing costs. 

What Patrons Get: Exclusive essays, photos from photo project, copy of literary journal and first book that we publish. Video updates and exclusive podcast content just for Patrons There will also be overviews of scripts I’m working on and updates of other projects and first peek at our website.  

I will be releasing What's On TCM every week from here on out on Sundays and will be doing three Patron posts a week and Wednesday in review. There will be more information about what my book will be on in the coming weeks. More than likely it will be a collection of essays from Patreon posts.

What to Catch on TCM This Week - October 14 - October 20, 2018

Mummy's and goblins and art and love fill this week on TCM. I love October on TCM, it's filled with so many different genres and and the best horror films around.

Abbott and Costello Meet the Mummy - Two Americans stranded in Cairo get involved in a plot to steal an Egyptian Princess' treasure. The two men are almost killed when they decide to stop the plot. I remember seeing this with my father at Crystal's Pizza and Spaghetti in Wheat Ridge. My family loved that place we would get pizza, salad bar, and a family spaghetti and watch old black and white movies in Crystal's theater while eating. This is where I really learned to love Abbott and Costello. My father already loved the duo, but being able to see them on the big screen really made me appreciate their comedy and genius. Buck Privates was probably the first movie of Abbott and Costello's that I watched her and I instantly loved their back and forth, I especially adored Lou Costello. He was personable, funny and entertaining. I always thought that I would have to marry someone that could make me laugh like Lou Costello did, unfortunately, I've had a man that makes me smile, but he doesn't make me laugh like Lou Costello, which is probably why I'm not married. Sunday, October 14th at 6:00 P.M. MST.

The Robot vs. The Aztec Mummy - The evil Dr.Krupp is back! After escaping being thrown into a snake pit at the end of The Aztec Mummy, Dr.Krupp comes back full speed to destroy the mummy with his half human/robot to kill the mummy and steal his treasure! It's a fun but a really silly B-movie. Sunday, October 14th at 8:45 P.M. MST.

A Room with A View - Poor Lucy Honeychurch is on an Italian holiday from Surrey with her much older and oppressed cousin, Charlotte Bartlett. In Florence, Lucy meets a young man named George and falls in love, unfortunately, George is not a good man and Lucy returns home to Surrey to marry a very sturdy and emotionally suppressed Cecil. However, George comes back into Lucy's life and Lucy runs. Probably one of Maggie Smith's best roles and Helena Bonham Carter's most noticeable performances, this movie is breathtaking in the scenery and the performances. Monday, October 15th at 1:45 A.M. MST.

Flight of the Navigator - David is sent to pick up his little brother at a friend's house and falls in a ravine along the way and is knocked out. Upon awakening and returning home, David finds that his house is not his house and his parents are missing. David finds that he has been missing for eight years and that his little brother is now older than him and that he had been abducted by a spaceship named Max for a biological experiment and was the Navigator of the ship while on board. It's a sweet story about friendship and family. Monday, October 15th at 8:25 P.M. MST.

The Cat from Outer Space - A UFO crash lands on earth with the most unusual of occupants, a cat with telepathic collar. This little feline is on the run from the U.S. Government and trying to repair his ship since his mothership cannot be reached for help. It's just a cute movie for kids for Halloween, an introduction to Sci-Fi. Tuesday, October 16th at 12:09 A.M. MST.

Lust for Life - The life of Vincent Van Gogh is examined in this film directed by Vincent Minnelli and starring Kirk Douglas as Van Gogh. It's a look at the falling decent of greatness. Tuesday, October 16th at 4:00 A.M. MST.

Salome - Queen Herodias has been marked as an adulteress by John the Baptist and will do anything not to be killed by her husband, King Herod, including using her own daughter to save her life and kill John. Rita Hayworth puts in a wonderful performance as Christian convert Salome in this biblical retelling of the story of Salome. Wednesday, October 17th at 2:00 A.M. MST.

The Walking Dead - John Ellman has been convicted of a murder he didn't commit and sentenced to the electric chair. After his execution his body is retrieved by a Doctor wanting to revive a body and find out what happens to the soul after death. After being revived, Ellman goes on a killing spree murdering those responsible for his demise. Boris Karloff plays the brought back from the dead John Ellman. Wednesday, October 17th at 7:30 P.M. MST.

Born Yesterday - I absolutely love Judy Holliday as Billie Dawn, a mole for an unscrupulous businessman that brings her to Washington D.C. to grease a few politicians for a transaction that he wants to go through. Sure Billie is a little ditzy and loud, but she has backbone galore and an actual brain under all that blonde hair and wants something more for herself than just being used and a plaything. Thursday, October 18th at 6:00 P.M. MST.

Forever, Darling - Lucille Ball and Desi Arnaz once again team up as an on screen married couple, this time with a guardian angel (James Mason) to try to help their marriage after Ball's character feels neglected by her husband. The film was a flop for Ball and Arnaz, but still worth the watch if you love to watch them together. Friday, October 19th at 12:00 A.M. MST.

Are These Our Children? - A pre-code film about the dangers of alcohol. Teenager Eddie Brand has just lost an oratory competition and leaves his girlfriend and takes up with a loose girl and her friends and becomes an alcoholic, murdering for drink. Friday, October 19th at 12:00 P.M. MST.

Blackbeard the Pirate - Captain Edward Teach is actually Blackbeard, a notorious pirate terrorizing the high seas and has just taken over the ship of pirate Charles Bellamy. It's a swashbuckling story about the dangers of being a British Officer in the British Navy and a kidnapped pirate bride. Saturday, October 20th at 4:00 A.M. MST.

Sweet Bird of Youth - Based on the play by Tennessee Williams, this film focuses on the failing relationship of a young drifter and an aging movie star. Chance, returns to his hometown with the ageing movie star in tow, not realizing that his move to Hollywood to become a star was orchestrated by the town Boss just so that Chance would stay away from his young daughter, Heavenly. It's the contrast of ageing out of a system that may no longer want you and the beginning of wonderful, naive youth. Saturday, October 20th at 7:45 P.M. MST.

What to Catch on TCM This Week - September 30 - October 6, 2018

That Hamilton Woman - Emma Harts life as Charles Frances Greville's mistress comes to an end when he exchanges her to his Uncle Sir William Hamilton to clear all of his debts. Emma is upset and broken hearted but soon falls for Sir Hamilton and marries him. This is the first film that Olivier and Leigh starred together as a married couple and the last film that they made together. As much as I adore Leigh as Scarlett O'Hara I love her as Emma Hamilton more, this character has a great depth with harsh weaknesses. This was said to be Winston Churchills favorite film of all time. Sunday, September 30th at 10:00 A.M. MST.

The Affairs of Dobie Gillis - Dobie and his pal, Charlie, are in college and dating coeds Pansy and Lorena. Pansy's stepfather wants to keep Dobie and Pansy apart but that shows impossible. A cute musical starring Debbie Reynolds as Pansy and choreographer Bob Fosse as Charlie. Sunday, September 30th at 2:30 P.M. MST.

Operations Eichmann - A highly fictionalized account of the life of Adolf Eichmann from his time as a Nazi SS Officer until his capture by the Mossad in Argentina. Sunday, September 30th 7:45 P.M. MST.

El Sur - Estrella grows up in Spain, living in her father's mysterious world and dreaming of the south. Monday, October 1st at 2:15 A.M. MST

Of Human Bondage - Struggling artist Phillip Carey gives up his art to become a doctor and falls in love with the wrong woman and spends years trying to get her back. It's one of my favorite Somerset Maugham novels and probably one of the best stories about how love ties us to the bomdage of eachother and how we deal with our lot in life. Monday, October 1st at 2:30 P.M. MST.


Lawrence of Arabia - Starring Peter O'Toole as the bigger than life British Army Lieutenant T.E. Lawrence, based on Lawrence's involvement as the British liaison during the Arab Revolt against the Ottoman Empire. Shot with Super Panavision technology using spherical lenses instead of anamorphic lenses, giving the film a fluttering affect to the film, but it's still one of the most beautifully shot films ever made. Monday, October 1st at 6:00 P.M. MST.

East Side, West Side - Jessie and Brandon are having marital issues, mostly due to Brandon's philandering and late night partying. When a murder takes place in there apartment, Jessie realizes that the love is gone. Tuesday, October 2nd at 9:00 A.M. MST.

Only Angels Have Wings -  This is probably director Howard Hawks' most popular and best film that he ever made. It has a great plot line and really makes you care about the lives of the pilots flying for Barranca Airlines in South America delivering mail etc. You especially become vested in the character of  "Kid" Dabb an ailing pilot that is losing his sight. Cary Grant and Rita Hayworth are old love interests, just to watch them on screen together is worth the time it takes to watch this movie. Tuesday, October 2nd at 11:30 P.M. MST.

The Strawberry Blonde - Biff falls for a beautiful strawberry blonde, unfortunately his friend is more outgoing with the girl and wins her over and Biff ends up married to the girl's best friend and realizes that sometimes life just gives you exactly what you need and then some!

The Phantom of the Opera - The Phantom has started to terrorize the Paris Opera House because he is obsessed with the beautiful songstress Christine Daae. The Phantom is insistent on having his way and seeing Christine in the starring role in Faust and that if she is not given the role the opera house shall be cursed. This version of Phantom is one of the best, Lon Chaney gives an amazing performance as The Phantom solidifying his role in horror movies. Wednesday, October 3rd at 7:00 P.M. MST.

The Bride Came C.O.D. -   Trying to get his debts taken care, Steve decides to hold his friends wealthy heiress bride to be for ransom. And that's where the fun begins, because as much as the heiress tries to get away from Steve, the more she falls for him. Thursday, October 4th at 3:00 P.M. MST.

Tish - A small town busy body, who get everything wrong, moves into a cottage with her friends and decide to raise an orphaned baby. Friday, October 5th at 12:30 P.M. MST.


                                                                                

What to Catch on TCM This Week - September 24 - September 29, 2018

TCM is always a good time and if you can't find anything that you like wait an hour I'm positive that you can find something. This week is a mix of first generation American stories and dramas.

Italianamericans - A documentary by filmmaker Martin Scorsese about his parents experience as Italian immigrants in New York City and about how hard it was to survive in America and about how life was after the war in Sicily. It's a great film with a great meatball recipe at the end of it! Monday, September 24th at 6:00 P.M. MST. 

The Last Waltz - Another documentary by Martin Scorsese about the rock group The Band's last performance at the Winterland Ballroom in San Francisco. It's probably one of the greatest concert documentaries ever filmed. Monday, September 24th at 7:00 P.M. MST. 

The Man Who Cheated Himself - Lieutenant Ed Cullen finds himself in quite the predicament when his new love interest kills her money grubbing husband in front of him and gets him to help her cover the murder up. Jane Wyatt gives a spot on performance as a woman driven to murder and deception, but that might be because I like Jane Wyatt, she always gives interesting performances. Tuesday, September 25th at 2:45 A.M. MST.

Stir Crazy - Two buddies on their way to Hollywood are framed for a robbery that they didn't commit and are sent to prison, while there they find out how bad the prisons are and how a person can go crazy in jail. This is one of Wilder and Pryor's funniest buddy films that they did together next to Silver Streak which remains their most successful film. I loved this film because these two people, who were such opposites from each other become the others saving grace and support. This movie can be predictable but it's just so much fun to watch them get into the situations that they get into you can't help but have a good time watching it and besides it's two of America's comedic geniuses in a movie so how can you not help but laugh? Tuesday, September 25th at 7:30 P.M. MST.

Greased Lightning - I love movies about the underdog and this one is about as underdog as you can get, not only is Wendell Scott a poor man living in Virginia that wants to be a racecar driver, but he also happens to be African American. This movie shows how you can overcome all obstacles that anyone throws in your way to get to your goal, you just have to be determined and not get in your own way and let others take you down. Richard Pryor shows that he could play more than just a funny guy making you laugh, he could pull you into a story and really let you know how that character was feeling. Tuesday, September 25th at 11:30 P.M. MST.

All This, and Heaven Too - Bette Davis maybe the leading lady in this film, however Barbara O'Neil really steals this film as the murdered wife of Charles Boyer's character, not that O'neil's character doesn't deserve it. This movie is more like being at the theater than watching a movie. The costuming is on point and the story line is interesting. It's a little long but it moves at a good pace and you really don't notice because of the intriguing story line. Wednesday, September 26th at 6:30 A.M. MST.

The Silencers -  Fashion photographer Matt Helm's life is about to take a turn when his old boss from his spy days calls and asks him to get back into the spy game! Dean Martin stars in the title role of Matt Helm, photographer by day, spy agent by night. It's loosely based on Donald Hamilton's spy novels involving spy master Matt Helms, who turned up at a time when James Bond was very popular. Wednesday, September 26th at 6:00 P.M. MST.

How to Save a Marriage and Ruin Your Life - David Sloane decides to be a real pal and try to save his friend's marriage by going after his friend's mistress, unfortunately he mistakes the wrong woman for his mistress and starts falling for her himself. Wednesday, Thursday September 27th at 2:00 A.M. MST.

What Price Hollywood?- Waitress Mary is an aspiring actress and has a chance meeting with  high profile director Maximilian Carey and her career takes off from there. This movie is different version of A Star Is Born, except that Max doesn't marry the rising star, instead he doesn't pursue her so that she is not pulled down by his spiraling out of control drinking and failing career. It's a sweet, somewhat predictable story but once again George Cukor spins a wonderful story that you feel that you get more out of it. Thursday, September 27th at 12:00 P.M. MST.

Black Orpheus - Based on the Greek legend of Orpheus and Eurydice, a couple are put together and torn apart during Rio de Janeiro's Carnivale. Orpheus is engaged to Mira and he is not exactly happy with the match, and when he finds the beautiful Eurydice in the apartment next to his, he can't help but fall in love with her, unfortunately things are not meant to be, and of course end in tragedy. It's a sad tale, but at the same time that's what happens when you treat someone else badly, your happiness is usurped in heartbreak. Thursday, September 27th at 9:15 P.M. MST.

The Plumber - A sadistic plumber begins to stalk a young wife, who from the start suspects that something is not right with the man or his work. This one is on here for fun and because I love the work of Peter Weir. Thursday, September 28th at 3:00 A.M. MST.

The Naked City - Basically a prequel to all the murder shows that we have on television these days, this film noir tales the story of a young woman's murder and the police who solve it. This movie also became a television series where a crime in the city was told and how it was solved. Friday, September 28th at 8:15 A.M. MST.

Purple Noon - Loosely based on the novel The Talented Mr.Ripley by Patricia Highsmith, the story follows Tom Ripley as he is sent to get his friend, Phillippe Greenleaf from France and force him to take over his father's business. Things turn sour between the two friends and Ripley decides that he wants Greenleaf's life for his own. Friday, September 28th at 2:15 P.M. MST.

The Odessa File - Young reporter, Peter Miller is stopped at the side of the road listening to the news of President Kennedy's assassination when an ambulance rushes by and he decides to follow it and leads him to the apartment of an elderly Jewish Holocaust survivor who committed suicide. The young reporter is given the man's diary and finds that he had found an SS Officer leaving not that far from him and Miller decides to bring him to justice himself. Saturday, September 29th at 6:00 P.M. MST.

Cinderella Liberty - A sailor out on a liberty pass falls in love with a prostitute and begins taking care of her and her young son while he is delayed orders when the Navy has to find his information. James Caan gives a great performance as John Baggs, Jr. the sailor that is left in limbo. Caan has said that when he thinks back on all the roles that he took after his success in The Godfather that Cinderella Liberty was one of his favorites. It's a tale of love and find your real path in life. Saturday, September 29th 11:45 P.M. MST.

September

 *This is what I sent out to my Patrons this month, but I wanted to share it here as well. Content will be still be available on Sundays and maybe Wednesdays. But I really want to start working toward making Reckless Press more of a reality and focus on my writing and deciding if I will self publish through Reckless Press just to get things going. I'm also going to be re-doing my Patron page and explain more of where money will be going etc. and be more open with the day to day business with Reckless Press.  I think that doing that will get more writers interested in the literary journal and Reckless Press as a viable business and publisher. TCM This Week will still be published this week, so look for it soon! And thank you for taking the time read this! 

September 2018 Newsletter

It’s September and fall. Every time that I think of fall I think of change. Not necessarily changing seasons and leaves, but of personal changes. It seems that we start to make shifts towards finishing goals or starting new goals. For me it’s getting started on my bigger goals and my plans for Reckless Press. I haven’t been doing a lot of posting on Patreon because I have let my personal issues take up all my focus. I think my personal matters have become another way to procrastinate, something I need to stop. I can no longer use my personal life as a way to get out of doing the work. With that being said, I plan on making the following changes with Patreon.

• I plan to start sharing more of what I am working on scripts, short stories, essays etc.
•  Planning on writing a series of Essays that may or may not be titled The Thing About where I talk about why I like an artist, film, comedian, time period, actor, musician etc., and think about turning these Essays into a book that may become one of Reckless Press’ first published book
• Focus on getting more people to become Patrons on Patreon
•  Releasing Photo Essays
• Working on content in a more cohesive and informed way
•  Getting involved more with my audience
• Work on getting more writers interested in Reckless Press and the literary journal.
•  Finish putting together a Facebook page for Reckless Press
•  Become more focused on Patreon as a business and a viable platform

Thank you for sticking with me during this time of change and growth and I hope that we can get things moving in the right direction again! Looking forward to hearing from everyone if you have any ideas etc., please feel free to get in touch with me @ RecklessPressLTD@gmail.and follow me on Twitter at ChristineLarran@ Twitter.com!
