Books on Film: Here’s the dramatic bookshelf-POV reveal of the book Unsolved Murders in the movie The Kennel Murder Case (1933)

In case you were wondering if this book has anything to do with the mysterious plot, then give yourself a gold star!

When detective Philo Vance (played by William Powell) tries to help the police solve a locked room mystery, he’s stumped at first.

Was it suicide or was it murder? And if it was murder, how did the murderer lock the door afterwards?

But later, Philo finds this same book in the bag of a man who’s gone missing …

He flips through the book and finds a scenario that matches the mystery he’s been trying to solve!

There’s a lot more that happens in this story, including romantic intrigue, more mysterious twists, and the canine antics of Philo’s super-cute dog Captain McCavish!

But this book is definitely one of the biggest keys that help to solve The Kennel Murder Case!

Deadpool and Wolverine is the single best portrayal of Wolverine in live action so far because it's the only one that really understands how best to depict him; a grouchy trainwreck of an extremely divorced dad who loves his dysfunctional shitshow of a family but also can't fucking stand them and is THIS close to driving the station wagon off a cliff during the drive to Sunday church with everyone inside in a fit of alcohol-fueled manic depression.

Love seeing the new generation find out how, well, gay "Wicked" is.

Closeted high femme dressed as the lesbian flag not getting on her rebellious activist bestie's broom and regretting it for the rest of her conformist life.

"Brazilian hand games and American hand games!!!! Realizing that the art of hand games comes from Africa! I never thought about it before. It was just embedded in our childhood."

"The collective consciousness is real"

"My goodness. We played this in Nigeria too."

There's a documentary with @jamilawoods called "Black Girls Play" about the history of handclap games in the US and their importance in the Black community. And a book before it called The Games Black Girls Play, by Kyra D. Gaunt.
