Summer S.A.D. is here, and the only cure is Paul Newman. You know that part in ONCE UPON A TIME IN HOLLYWOOD when Leo points at the TV in excitement and recognition? That’s me every time a Tiki bar shows up in an old movie. I was already loving A KISS BEFORE DYING (part of @criterioncollection’s “Murderous Melodramas”), but then the Pago Pago lounge appeared on screen. This Tucson Tiki bar is legendary, as is its eponymous cocktail. In a movie where everybody has to look over their shoulder in fear of a deadly Robert Wagner, the Pago Pago feels like the one safe place in town. Cheers! Ever wonder what a Pan Am boarding pass used to look like? We came across one in my beloved (sadly departed) aunt’s house, and I couldn’t resist snapping this pic with my little ode to the Jet-Set. ✈️ Even though this ticket was only for a short jaunt, Aunt Linda saw a lot of exciting places in her day. Where are you off to this summer? Jean Harlow has entered the chat. I’m cruising through Vegas this week, which means it’s time to watch FEAR AND LOATHING IN LAS VEGAS with a weird, deceptively strong cocktail! Too many Carousels and you’ll be as unsteady as Hunter S. Thompson on an ether trip, so make sure you have a buddy to guide you back to your pink shag lair. And as always, watch out for bats. Cheers! No, it’s not #ThirstyThursday, but it may as well be with PICNIC new on the blog this week! This was a first-time watch for me, but definitely not the last. William Holden’s shirtless smoldering will definitely become an annual tradition in my house 🔥. The movie pairs perfectly with a Watermelon Cosmo, because what’s a Midwestern picnic without watermelon? BIG NEWS!!!!! @moviejawn is at Barnes & Noble!!!!! I’m so, so proud of the whole MJ crew, but especially @the.oldsport for making this happen. It was a huge undertaking, and it feels pretty perfect to have the first widely distributed issue be one of my personal favorite themes, “Cinematic Hotels”. I wrote about Bad Times at the El Royale, which was a great excuse to share some Cal-Neva gossip and make a whiskey sour. Never thought I’d see my name in a bookstore on something other than ‘Follow the Sun’, but Moviejawn is out here making dreams come true. Cheers to making big moves, and spreading the gospel of cinema! Cinema Sips is setting sail into the opulent world of William Randolph Hearst with THE CAT’S MEOW and this classic “Charleston” cocktail! A perfect Jazz Age sip, this’ll make you feel like a member of the party, whether you’re rich, famous, or (like me) neither of these things. I had the best time exploring the Hearst Castle on my recent California adventure, and it was fun to imagine all the celebrities traveling through in its heyday. Apparently, Cary Grant was NOT a fan of the paper napkins at dinner 😂. This movie gives a little glimpse into Hearst’s rarefied circle, and it definitely makes me feel justified in my general dislike of cruises. 😜 Cheers! MILK (2008) hit the blog last week with a Harvey Milk Punch, and I’m just poking my head out of post-vacation catch-up to say Happy Pride!!!, and let’s all take the spirit of Harvey Milk with us to the polls in November. ✊🌊
