my favorite part of her stepping back is when she’s like “the sahra wagenknecht party is *not* a personality cult”

I just woke up what

my read is that knives are out for him after the 50 year debacle. love it when the scheming viziers fight

Ladies and gentlemen, stop that girl, that girl running up the aisle. Stop her! That's the girl whose voice you heard and loved tonight. She's the real star of the picture. Kathy Selden! #SinginInTheRain #TCMParty

Anyone else find it hard to believe that Lena’s contract with the studio is so beneficial to her? #SinginInTheRain #tcmparty

I love Broadway Melody and I love Cyd Charisse’s performance in it, but 12YO me still thinks Gene Kelly is cheating on poor, adorable, naive Debbie Reynolds. #SinginInTheRain #tcmparty

But, if you’re committing ultra violent rape and assault, you’re a damn sociopath, you sicko! #WrongMovie #SinginInTheRain #tcmparty

Why is #SinginInTheRain SO good? It’s not the songs—they’re fun, but not original. They’re 1920s period pieces. It’s the script. The script would work without the song and dance, and the numbers flow seamlessly from key points in the script. #tcmparty

1) one of the greatest double entendres in movie history 2) the censors are idiots 3) if @gayerthanthou.bsky.social #HadADime #SinginInTheRain #tcmparty

Don’s not interested in Lena from the start because his one true life companion is Cosmo. Oh, and because Lena is revealed from the first as a crappy human being. #SinginInTheRain #tcmparty

Love how Lena is silent in Don’s flashbacks. The reveal of her voice is shocking and hilarious. #SinginInTheRain #tcmparty

I grew up watching some of the folks who signed this editorial and they were the first to teach me what it was to be a journalist. Glad to see them standing up once again.

If you are enjoying #TheIpcressFile and want more gritty London working class espionage, I cannot recommend “Slow Horses” more highly. Oldman farts. ‘Nuff said. #tcmparty

The second best sub rosa supermarket scene in movie history. #TheIprcressFile #tcmparty

Only a couple of years earlier, Nigel Green, who plays the drab, humorous, mediocre Dalby in #TheIpcressFile, played the flamboyant, shirtless Hercules in “Jason & the Argonauts.” #tcmparty

The tie is scored Wordle 1,607 4/6* ⬜⬜⬜⬜🟩 ⬜⬜⬜⬜🟩 🟨⬜⬜⬜🟩 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩

Fantastic description of why #TheIpcressFile looks so fantastic, with a hilarious anecdote about cinematographer Otto Heller. #tcmparty

Michael Caine in glasses. #TheIpcressFile #TCMParty

The other thing that’s just wonderful about #NorthByNorthwest’s script is that it spends little time pretending Cary Grant is anything other than Cary Grant, culminating with the “Stop! Stop!” scene. Of all Cary’s roles, is Roger Thornhill the Cary Grantiest? #tcmparty

Is there a more “Cold War” actor than Martin Landau? Leonard the gay commie in #NxNW, the paranoid defector in the Twilight Zone’s “The Jeopardy Room,” super spy Rollin Hand of “Mission: Impossible,” POTUS in one of the last Cold War era nuclear nightmare movies, “By Dawn’s Early Light.” #tcmparty

Really, how happy would Van Dam or Eve be behind the Iron Curtain? #NxNW #tcmparty

Lehman’s dialog for Eve Kendall in #NorthbyNorthwest is exquisite in its coolness and its sensuality, and Eva Marie Saint delivers it pitch perfectly. She is the toughest customer in the film, along with Landau’s Leonard. Bitches rule. #tcmparty

Strictly speaking, from a latitudinal perspective, of course, the movie should have been titled “WEST by Northwest.” #NxNW #tcmparty

The auction house scene is my favorite in #NorthByNorthwest. It’s such a genius move. Too bad Cary wasn’t that creative when trying to come up with a new slogan for Wham! Ham. #WrongMovie #tcmparty

Bought by Hitch and Eva Marie personally at Bergdorf’s, after MGM delivered a wardrobe that was too bland for Hitch. #NorthbyNorthwest #tcmparty

When I was a little boy, I wouldn’t even let my mother undress me. Well, you’re a BIG boy NOW. #NorthbyNorthwest #tcmparty

So ... Landon Thomas Jr. left the NYT in 2019 after the editors learned he'd hit Epstein up for a $30,000 donation to a preschool, and then ... he went where? I can't find anything from him or about him since March 2023?

Ken Starr sends hugs to Epstein. Yes, the Ken Starr who had Clinton impeached for an extramarital affair. The Ken Starr who covered up abuse at Baylor University. That Ken Starr Satan’s waitin’ on ya, Ken.

HUGS

It would be a good time for the NYT to have an ombudsman

just opening up the new Epstein docs at random:

Goon a movie: GOON WILL HUNTING

A federal judge on Wednesday ruled the Trump administration’s detention of a woman detained by immigration agents at a North Center day care last week is “unlawful” because she has not been given a preliminary hearing.

i wonder what a regime collapse war in Venezuela will do here, especially if it doesn't work

"Donald Trump Was Practicing Pedophilia the Right Way"

U.S. District Judge Jeffrey Cummings previously determined that ICE had violated the consent decree which, among other things, requires the agency to show documentation for each arrest it makes for people besides those being specifically targeted in an operation

never not going to be wild how a certain sort of person is so obsessed with the idea of politicians sharing their beliefs that all the politician has to do is pretend to share their beliefs and those people will ride to the death to defend the politician from not actually sharing their beliefs

For the love of GAWD, please do NOT share photos of Trump in a bikini in Epstein's kitchen.

"just in" lol. how they break that one open. i've always found this the most appropriate image asset since melania is right there in the center of the picture.

Apropos of nothing in particular: Have any of you guys ever seen the movie "Wag the Dog"?

amusing chart. it turns out New York City built more housing units in the 1920s than in the 1970s, 80s, 90s, 2000s, and 2010s put together www.nyc.gov/content/plan...

I'm waiting to hear some Turley type telling me it's not that Trump is worried about what's in these documents. It's about preserving the institutional statutory rape prerogatives of the office for future presidents.
