They've got us there.

Hahahahaha

To commemorate the store, or the awkward chat?

Congrats, Coy!

Your reply is hard to understand, but I’m trying. What are “totes jokes?”

It's hard for me to watch the film ONLY YOU because Marisa Tomei and Robert Downey Jr. look too much like brother and sister to be in a sexual relationship. Just had the same fleeting thought about Mitchum and Russell. We'll see how I cope with it.

#TCMParty #HisKindOfWoman

Bob Mitchum and Jane Russell were hyped as RKO’s answer to Bogie & Bacall. While their two-picture run didn’t move the needle, HIS KIND OF WOMAN (1951) is better than it should be, given Howard Hughes’ backstage meddling. A fun, loopy hangout movie. Airs tonight on #NoirAlley. #TCMParty

Tonight, TCM continues its monthlong salute to Texas. Hud will attract lots of viewers, and it deserves them. But PARIS, TEXAS, airing later, is a must-record for those who haven’t seen it. A gorgeous Wim Wenders film that closes with the most powerful monologue I’ve ever heard. #TCMParty

Torgo from Manos the Hands of Fate

“Hi, I’m Torgo, I’ll be your Bluesky server today.”

You too???

On the one hand, I believe millionaire pop stars should pay their taxes.

On the other, that song and album are brilliant.

Huffing and puffing up an inclined sidewalk with my wife.

Me: We’re getting passed by senior citizens.

Her: Unfair comparison.

Me: Why?

Her: They’ve got canes.

Sean Connery explaining the Chicago way.

"He sends one of yours to the hospital, you send him Matthew 5:9. That's the Chicago Pope way."

What’s nice is that it was a cross-gender activity. Girls tended not to like collecting worms and that sort of thing, but these captured my sister’s imagination, too. Fun for the whole family.

Growing up in Ohio, lightning bugs were an annual highlight of my summers.

From the desk of William Hinds, co-founder, Hammer Films:

Son,

I stand by my decision to put you in charge of production. But one bit of advice. The next time you make a POSTMAN ALWAYS RINGS TWICE retread, do avoid casting a member of the Oxford debate team in the male lead.

#BadBlonde #TCMParty

In every sense of the word.
