Soaring in the City at Sunrise. Today in Chicago.

Mark your calendars! I’ll be part of Lectures on Tap on May 20—where professors, experts, and storytellers bringing thought-provoking talks to Chicago bars. Tickets go on sale Sunday, April 26 via Eventbrite. I’ll be diving into "The Blues Brothers" (1980) and its Chicago roots. 😎

Presented a lecture today just steps from this former 1920 Chicago movie house. ❤️ Based on my shirt, can you guess which classic we splashed into? (Hint: I kept my feet dry.)

Former owner of the “Home Alone” house in Winnetka has been charged with seven counts of possession of child sexual abuse material.

[whispers] I’m so in.

“Spaceballs: The New One” may be the most Mel Brooks-ian sequel title ever. 😆

“Stuck in the Middle with You,” unfortunately. 👂

“Dignity, always dignity.”

@ladytophamcatt.bsky.social, I thought of you when I saw these typewriter shoes on a friend’s FB post. Just wow!

This game is MESSY. Calm down, fellas.

Seeing these two posts directly after each other is…jarring to say the least.

Happy Easter! 🥚

Gonna be (another) long night for pet owners whose dogs are terrified of thunderstorms. 😐

Today's thrift store haul—with a half-price coupon! 💪 The husband said the little fella is "definitely haunted" and "I will name him Thaddeus." I should've bought the Christmas Vacation poster, but I refrained.

Did not not expect we’d nearly be in Act 3 before dude actually tries out. 👀

WTH, Indiana?!

If anyone can sell (the boring) “Death of a Salesman” to me, it’s this guy.

Oooo, this looks fun. ⚾️

Six years ago today, I launched chicagomovietours.com from my porch. Take a quick look at how it started—and where it’s gone since. Thanks for coming along for the ride! 💙

When a salt and vinegar potato chip informs you there’s a new cut on your finger…

When I break out shorts for the first time in 5 months. 😬

Our bracket... #MarchMadness

Messy!

Glorious Sunrise. This morning in Chicago on the last Sunday of March 2026.

Another good day at the thrift store—some of these (many from Pottery Barn) have never been hung. ✌️ #PerksOfLivingCloseToHinsdale

Made pancakes before I realized we’re out of syrup.

Every damn TV in this joint: Iowa-Illinois. 😐 #MarchMadness

Had some luck today at the thrift store. 🙌🏼

Would love to say hello to my #SCMS26 friends. Am in your hotel lobby right now. 👋

Archaeologists may have uncovered the remains of D’Artagnan, the famed French musketeer 😏 www.cnn.com/2026/03/26/s...

Free and virtual, today at 2:00 PM (CT)! We'll look back on the 1918 flu and COVID-19 pandemics—and how they affected the moviegoing experience. 🎥 Register below for the link.

Today, March 24, should ring a bell for movie fans—especially 7:00 AM, Saturday, 1984: detention begins in “The Breakfast Club.” I got curious: how many other movies and TV shows spotlight this date? I went digging.

Gah. Terrible, just terrible actors.

Time to mute “Project” and “Hail” and “Mary.” 😐

He's got rhythm. Gene Kelly in AN AMERICAN IN PARIS.

Agreed.

🗣️ ON THE PATIO IN CHICAGO IN MARCH.

Well, that was long.

Show somebody who absolutely rocks a hat and isn’t Indiana Jones.

Welp. Made it OCDTok. 😐

Spring is coming. 🌱

We are 6 years post-pandemic. Virtual presenters, expand your slideshow to full screen. We don’t wanna see the controls or your toolbar.

Seafood chowder: always feels like a gamble. 😬

Proud to be here at Cinespace today to announce an all-time record for the Illinois film industry. Last year, film production expenditures in Illinois reached an all-time high of $703 million. That’s generated over 18,000 hires paying out over $400 million in wages.
