Binging #MadMen again. The Mad Men team were great at a lot, including shot framing and music choices. A great example is S5E13 close. Don leaves Megan's spot shoot to wander while others are in their own world. Song performed by Nancy Sinatra www.youtube.com/watch?v=_uwN...

#ThrowbackThursday My band's ( @thewizbangs.bsky.social ) first photo shoot and how we look on-stage 😂 #AgeMuch #RockAndRoll

Remembering #JohnLennon. Remembering the music. Remembering the words. Simultaneously one of one and four of one.

One needn’t be skilless to grow cool Amaryllis

At least #SongOfTheThinMan has great big band and jazz music. (and Myrna) #TCMParty

To all those on this nutty platform I have a level of kinship, admiration, and love for, have a wonderful day. You make my days brighter and more interesting. I'm proud to know you. #HappyNewYear2026

To all: My simple Christmas wish

#ItHappenedOn5thAvenue may not be a Christmas movie in the traditional sense, but it's become one of my favorite holiday films. A Christmas spirit, a great cast. #TCMParty

It can't be Christmas without "A Christmas Carol"...SNL style. #MartinAndShort www.youtube.com/watch?v=1ww5...

#HaveYourselfAMerryLittleChristmas is my favorite Christmas song and how can you not fall in love with Judy singing it? #MeetMeInStLouis #TCMParty

Tootie Smith (Margaret O'Brien) is a monster in #MeetMeInStLouis. Cute, but an absolute monster. #TCMParty

There are many traditions surrounding the holiday season. One which grows for us is ⁦‪@TheBostonPops‬⁩ holiday show. Wonderful music, storytelling superb, and sing-along. Two hours of shared joy listening to the Pops and #TanglewoodSymphonyChoir. #twelvedaysofchristmas

Calm before the storm. ⁦‪@TheBostonPops‬⁩ Holiday show!

Watching #TheMusicMan on #TCMParty. As it includes a great Barbershop Quartet, I decided to throw out a song my band - @thewizbangs.bsky.social - performed. PS - I chose the band's name from one of the film's songs (Trouble) as well as a real periodical of the time www.youtube.com/watch?v=pmw1...

11.24.63. Imagine being a young boy, sitting in front of the TV with your grandma, aunt, and uncle. The perpetrator who killed your President is shot right in front of your eyes. It was the first live murder on US television. #JFKassassination #LeeHarveyOswald

The day Nov. 22 still hurts 62 years later. Sometimes I can barely remember my name, but I recall nearly everything about that day, that weekend. From the moment I heard about #JFKassassination in the school lunch line until the bugler's miscue Monday at Arlington. (📸 Bettmann)

"In short, the flames kindled on the 4th of July 1776. have spread over too much of the globe to be extinguished by the feeble engines of despotism. on the contrary they will consume these engines, and all who work them." - Letter from Thomas Jefferson to John Adams Sept 12, 1821 (Betsy Ross flag)

#M is the first movie I saw in my college film class. Peter Lorre is great under Fritz Lang's direction. Proves there's no honour among thieves. Subtitles, but who cares. #TCMParty @tcmtv.bsky.social

#DarkPassage is currently on @tcmtv.bsky.social. It's my favorite non-Casablanca Bogie film. Everyone in the cast - Bogie, Bacall, Agnes Moorehead, etc. has an edge, some are over-the-edge. The only one you can consider hero/anti-hero is Sam the Cabbie. #TCMParty

#ThrowbackThursday "Crystal Blue Persuasion" by Tommy James and the Shondells was a Top Ten song for my summertime at Seal Beach and Ramona Park in 1969. www.youtube.com/watch?v=LN38...

Whilst driving around doing errands, I started playing Christmas music on Sirius/XM. I apologize to no one. ;)

Hello, hometoen

It could be a crap day but then this appears. #serenity

MEADOW OF AUTUMN LEAVES

The rainbow kept disappearing, but still a wonderful view from my patio

SHE SURVIVES The last one standing Withstanding attacks, heat, rain, and frost And alone she gives us what we hope for Strength, beauty, independence, and color She survives #rose

#ThrowbackThursday Nobody Told Me...there'd be days like these. Most peculiar, mama. #JohnLennon www.youtube.com/watch?v=cuuh...

MUMS the word. The last vestige of blooms before the season between fall and spring…or what I call “brownuary”

Cary Grant's dance scene in #Indiscreet is hilarious. #TCMParty

Grant is always so suave and debonaire in a suit. I hated when my company went first to casual Fridays, then to always casual attire. I love a good tailored suit. #Indiscreet #TCMParty

ALWAYS...always...smitten with #IngridBergman. Here in #Indiscreet. #TCMParty

WADR to #Bullitt, I believe What's Up Doc has a better San Francisco car chase...certainly funnier. #TCMParty www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZIqQ...

#Bullitt is a cool very late 60s film. Great S.F. background, car chase, etc. But its Steve McQueen's sartorial panache which sets it apart. #TCMParty

I've had Northern Cardinals every place I've lived at in the northeast. I've become good at mimicking their call. So today, one was perched in a nearby bush starring at me. When I did the call, FIVE other mama Cardinals rushed in. Good to know some kind of chic digs my call 🤣

With the #NoKingsMarch on Oct 18, we should bone up on responding to Republicans with "Monty Python King Arthur" bit. "I didn't know we had a king. I thought we were an autonomous collective." "You're fooling yourself. We're living in a a self-perpetuating autocracy" www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nku7...

Illustrating the modern judicial and pharma in one scene. #JudgeMaxwell #WhatsUpDoc www.youtube.com/watch?v=ME08...

Brisk, damp autumn day and hot tea✅ Music? "My Foolish Heart" GREAT lyrics: "There's a line between love and fascination, That's hard to see on an evening such as this, For they give the very same sensation. When you are lost in the passion of a kiss" www.youtube.com/watch?v=0S_M...

GD IT!!! RIP #DianeKeaton. What a fabulous actor. Played every type...drama, comedy, etc. with aplomb. My two faves of hers are SLEEPER opposite Woody Allen and FATHER OF THE BRIDE (2) with Steve Martin.

Ever sit around pondering the weekend and think, "Ya know, a Katz Deli hot pastrami sandwich would hit the spot."

It's a beautiful October autumnal day here in Massachusetts. Bright and sunny, with a steady breeze and nip in the air. My kind of day. Have a wonderful day wherever you may be. Here's a fav James Taylor song which goes with the day. www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Qyi...

A killin’ frost comes tonight so these are the last beauties till June. #dahlias

In #Casablanca, instead of playing "As Times' Go By" when Ilsa asks; Sam plays "Chopsticks" #TCMParty open.spotify.com/track/5HhR6h...
