If you haven't seen C.J. do "The Jackal", then you haven't seen Shakespeare the way it's meant to be done.

Originally was planning on going to Cobra Woman for the shear oddity of it. However, Swing Time in the IMAX theatre feels like an experience not to be missed. I suspect it will be like when I saw The Wizard of Oz there. #TCMFF

Social media tip:

Do not engage online with users who use the r word or feminazi. The use of those words is a pretty clear indicator of a person who is not worth your time. You’re better off talking to a wall. Carry on.

Nneka for future commissioner. I’m speaking it into existence.

Side bar: Met Nneka at the Vegas All-Star Weekend too. “Nice vintage T-Spoon jersey!” She was so sweet.

Ellie showing off her dance moves at the pot-game party. This was after the Pride game btw. Out of pocket Ellie is the best Ellie.

Meeting Ellie at the Liberty post-game party at Barclays, meeting Sab at All-Star Weekend in Vegas, and meeting Stewie at All-Star Weekend in Indy last year.

I’m going to just erase the end of that Knicks hand from my memory and focus on the Liberty.

Share a GIF from a Western you love!

Playoff basketball energy at MSG is just different.

In case anyone is looking for extra movies to see before and after #TCMFF, Alamo Drafthouse in downtown L.A. has some good ones👀 I’m leaning towards Sweet Smell of Success May 4th since I’m staying an extra day afterwards. Fight Club in 4K at 10 PM on April 29th is really tempting. #TCMParty

Welcome back, Han Xu!

Bicycle Thieves is such an unassuming little movie. Each time I watch it, I fall in love with it again because of its earnest nature. Its story is simple. But it is not a simple movie. More to come in my blog entry this week.

The Barron and Burtt presentations are a highlight of any #TCMFF. This was from their 2024 presentation on Them! #TCMParty

Red carpet photo and TCMParty class photo 2024.

Remember when they screened Clue by the pool? Good times! They even had a photo op to take your own mugshot.

Steven Spielberg introducing Close Encounters.

2022 was my first TCMFF. I booked an L.A. sightseeing your the day I arrived and got these awesome photos. Was it touristy? Yes. But it was also fun.
