For the former's birthday, here's Jack Nicholson with Michael Nesmith. Assuming this is from Nicholson's co-produced #Monkees vehicle Head (1968).

SCHOOL'S OUT FOR CHRISTMAS: #AlexanderPayne's #BestPicture #Oscar contender #TheHoldovers with #PaulGiamatti #DominicSessa & #DavineJoyRandolph feels like a perfect Christmas movie. But the truth is this deliciously retro comedy drama can and should be enjoyed any time of the year.. https://loveitinpomona.blogspot.com/2024/03/schools-out-for-winter-holdovers.html #newengland #film #academyawards #boardingschool #movies #entertainment #comedy #drama #cinema #halashby #bobrafelson

The first half of Bob Rafelson's 1981 The Postman Always Rings Twice promises to be the best-ever adaptation of Cain's novel, with the right of mix of sleaziness, sweatiness and desperation. The second half is a trainwreck.

Tonight in 1967 — THE MONKEES won an Emmy for Outstanding Comedy Series.

“To the Monkees, who really won the award,” producer #BobRafelson said in his acceptance speech.

“The first shot is to grab the audience and the last shot is to redeem yourself.”
— #BobRafelson (1933–2022)

The director of #FiveEasyPieces (1970) and #TheKingOfMarvinGardens (1972), producer of #EasyRider (1969), co-creator of #TheMonkees, and director of their their trippy film #Head (1968) would have been 90 today.

No substitutions: Five Easy Pieces, directed by Bob Rafelson, born #OTD in 1933 #BobRafelson #JackNicholson
