Oh, my little pretty one, pretty one. When you gonna give me some, my Rose Sharona

Sunset on the lake

Even after their flowers are long-gone, some plants provide an autumnal surprise splash of color. #autumn

Autumn dawn

"I'm Chihuahua" Yes,you are, Linda. Yes you are. I wonder how many times John Ford made Linda say that line? #MyDarlingClementine #TCMParty

#JohnFord black and white films are magic in that even though B/W, you can "see" color. This bar scene where the Clantons enter...how the exterior rain is lit and filmed is tremendous. #MyDarlingClementine #TCMParty www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q8z0...

#RIP beautiful Italian actress Claudia Cardinale. Dammit! Just watched her last night in #ThePinkPanther @tcmparty.bsky.social

There are two kinds of quiet One is void of sound Empty, unfulfilling but one's mind still hears something The second? No voices Just the serene sounds wind, water, wildlife I'll take the latter

#ShallWeDance is a great 30s musical with Rogers and Astaire. The songs - by Ira and George Gershwin are so good. In the 90s, "Crazy For You" was a great show on Broadway which I saw many times. Fun music, great dancing, all based around many of these tunes. #TCMParty

MY LOVE GOES ON #MusicMonday "Do you want to be heard or do you just want to be someone’s girl? cause now you are both more like fiction. a good book’s the next best addiction" From our second album, Tell Me What You See. Hear at thewizbangs.com

Yesterday was #JuneForay's birthday (1917-2017). Foray is one of the greatest voice-over artists in history. Rocky J. Squirrel, Natasha and other voices on Rocky and Bullwinkle up to The Simpsons. Equal to Mel Blanc. If you don't know Mel Blanc, youre lost www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z4ih...

At Fenway for last Red Sox game of season for me. I’m not playing hooky but a lot of these others must be. #redsoxnation

Been alone last few days so I decided to be a mad-scientist chef tonight. Sliced one of my last homegrown tomatoes. Topped with minced garlic, s/p. Heated olive oil + basalmic in fry pan; dropped sliced mozzarella, heated till gooey. Flipped onto tomatoes, topped w/bacon. It was

I've been sitting here half the day trying to wrap up this song. Stuck in brain fog. All I can hear are the birds singing outside. Reminds me of the scene in "Funny Farm" with Chevy Chase. (PSA - I'd never do this) www.youtube.com/watch?v=218G...

As lake life turns to fall, the summer residences head home. The voices and sounds of summer are replaced by nature and quiet #serenity. All I heard this morning were loons calling, a duck family quacking, and birds singing. #Bliss

#RobertRedford's first ever TV job was on an episode of Perry Mason in 1960. Watch it and you'll see the star quality from the get-go. #RIP

Well CRAP. When someone who in any shape or form was part of your growing up passes, it hurts a little more. Shows you won't beat time either. RIP #RobertRedford SO MANY great roles to name. But he'll always be the Sundance Kid to me.

Great songwriter Bobby Hart has passed. Several important songs over time, especially for The Monkees. Here's Mickey Dolenz's tribute

Sunday blooms #flowers #serenity

"Siri, what can I watch EARLY tomorrow when I can't sleep?" #Insomnia #TCMParty

The brilliance of Stanley Kubrick's 2001: A Space Odyssey can be summed up in two scenes: ten min. of special effects, still today as good as any, put to Strauss' Blue Danube. You get lost in it. B. The "monster" HAL is simply a red camera eye. Nothing else. Sublime. #TCMParty

See me

Grauman's Chinese Theater really is a great place to watch movies #BlazingSaddles #TCMParty

That's HEDLEY! #TCMParty #BlazingSaddles

"Mongo just pawn in game of life" Can't tell you how many times I've thrown that line out. #TCMParty #BlazingSaddles

Schnitzengruben, baby! #TCMParty

Madeline Kahn was so hilarious and died way too young. "Theyre always coming and going. And going and coming...And always too soon" #LilyVonSchupt #BlazingSaddles #TCMParty

The editing room had to be hilarious, trying to select the right fart sounds. #BlazingSaddles #TCMParty

A punchline which wasn't expected when first viewed. Still funny after all these years. #BlazingSaddles #TCMParty

#BlazingSaddles #TCMParty

Useless Trivia: The singer of the #BlazingSaddles theme was Frankie Laine, also belongs to the "I Was On Perry Mason" club. Also sang other movie themes as "High Noon" and "Gunfight at the OK Corral" #TCMParty

I don't remember in my young life up to then ever laughing so hard and long as when I first saw #BlazingSaddles in the theater. #TCMParty

#RIP Mark Volman, Flo of Flo and Eddie and Turtles. Great happy songs. In the mid-70s they also had a hilarious, free-from Sunday night radio show in L.A. on KLOS. www.youtube.com/watch?v=sq3a...

I'm sure Miranda will communicate soon about her dog RED. It's been a long day for them. First, I wanted to personally thank those of you who donated to Red's GoFundMe. It's stunning how expensive it was. More importantly, Red just got out of surgery. Thanks again.

If I could wake up in the spring with you. We’d cling just like the grass and morning dew Behind the wings of butterflies The sun would shine and I’d say, Today, I’d like to be lazy with you. ©2016 The WizBangs www.youtube.com/watch?v=qM82...

IT'LL ALWAYS STAY THE SAME People living on the street Most walk by and stare Destitutes reach up for help Nobody seems to care On the corner in a gilded palace Comfy devotees devote Outside their stained glass doors For those in need, it's all she wrote ©The WizBangs 2025 @thewizbangs.bsky.social

Even in their autumnal retreat, #hydrangeas are gorgeous

Asking in hope: Miranda Jonte, my dear friend, playwright/actor, LOVES #dogs. She donates time to shelters. Now one of her own, Red, is facing life-threatening #cancer and needs immediate EXPENSIVE surgery now. Without it, well. PLEASE donate for RED. spot.fund/zcg3jh6sc

The 1927 silent film "Wings" (now on @tcmtv.bsky.social ) is just a fantastic film. Realistic. Amazing, and I assume truly death defying in that era. It really is worth a watch #TCMParty
