The sole elevator in my building is out of service—yet again. And—yet again—my dog's watching Rear Window with me and getting ideas about how easy it would be to lower him from the balcony in a basket... He'll be pooping and pissing on the balcony tonight. Daddy's tired. #TCMParty #RearWindow

The black bodice and details of *the* dress will always be a deep, deep midnight blue (with a hint of eggplant) to me, because that's how the color reads on every TV I've ever owned. #RearWindow #TCMParty

For the record, I've never put much stock in the rumors that Thelma and Jimmy had a torrid affair during the making of this movie. #RearWindow #TCMParty

so much depends upon a Red Dust wheel barrow glazed with The Rain beside the two chickens named magambo and sadie thompson respectively #TCMParty #TheRain

My favorite scene is the one where fascist teenager Rolf preaches the gospel of bitcoin and AI to Liesl and she's like, "Count me in, my favorite Nazi fetus!" #TCMParty #TheSoundOfMusic

Remember when Claudine Longet shot and killed her ski bum lover and got away with it? I do. Huge, HUGE story at the time. I grow old. #TheParty #TCMParty

#Goals #TCMParty #TheStar

Like many of you, I remember exactly where I was and what I was doing the moment I learned that Martha Plimpton is neither the daughter nor the niece of George Plimpton but is instead the offspring of eternal hottie Keith Carradine. #RunningOnEmpty #TCMParty

I keep reading all these takes about how Trump's authoritarianism is weak and brittle, and yet my life, and the lives of many people I care about, remain in ruins under the bootheel of Trump's authoritarianism. The cognitive dissonance is hard to take, tbh.

Ugh. The grim tyranny of early '60s sex comedies. The only one that works for me is Sunday in New York, which at least boasts the solid underpinnings of a successful Broadway play—and the unexpectedly potent onscreen chemistry between Jane Fonda and Rod Taylor. #SexAndTheSingleGirl #TCMParty

*Note to self*: Replicate this look as soon as you lose the 25 pounds you've packed on during the Trump/pandemic/Trump years and can fit into to your old blazers and sweaters. #TCMParty #ThePinkPanther

That's not what his Sniffies profile says. #TCMParty #TheGlassBottomBoat

The Glass Bottom Boat was re-titled Eggs Danny Thomas–Style for release in most European markets. #TCMParty #TheGlassBottomBoat #IYKYK

The obviously taxidermied fox that Roz quickly passes off to the kid at the end of the hunt deserves its own screen credit. #AuntieMame #TCMParty

In the course of a few days, I've watched a film about drapes and a film about furniture. Oh, Lord, what have I done with my life? #TCMParty #ExecutiveSuite

How I long for the days when every rich girl drove a convertible with her monogram affixed to the doors. The doors of the '49 Cadillac droptop I drove in high school were embossed with "PAP," which stood for Pass-Around Patty. #TCMParty #APlaceInTheSun

Décolleté Marge is my favorite Marge. #TCMParty #TheLawAndTheLady

"They're re-writing history" is too narrow a description, as it suggests a world contained in the past. What they're doing is rewriting reality as we're living it. Day by day, hour by hour... Is there nothing that can fucking stop them? I honestly don't know.

My favorite bible story is the one in which the freshly poured concrete for an inground swimming pool cures within a few hours. My second favorite is the one in which a 56-year-old Arlene Francis gives birth to a healthy baby in the back of a Rolls-Royce. #TheThrillOfItAll #TCMParty #PTL

It is fun to imagine that Mary Astor, in the final scene of #Dodsworth, is enthusiastically waving at Walter Houston's toothless character in #TreasureOfTheSierraMadre. #TCMParty

I'll likely go to my grave believing that there's a very good film version of Sinclair Lewis's Main Street yet to be made. Merchant and Ivory, where were you when we needed you most? P.S. Ruth Chatterton was 68 years old when she made #Dodsworth. Can you believe it?* *You shouldn't. #TCMParty

In the 2025 remake of Desk Set, Richard Sumner is a 19-year-old fascist man-child named Big Balls, and the role of Bunny Watson doesn't even exist, because Big Balls is vested with plenary power to destroy people's lives. #TCMParty #DeskSet #BigBallsDestroyedMyLife

My Favorite Wife is, at its core, a movie about child abuse. I actually kinda hate this film, despite my love for its principal actors. #TCMParty #MyFavoriteWife #SUTS

Dick: "I just remembered—today's Joan Blondell's birthday." June: "That's funny—I just remembered that I'm holding a pot of scalding-hot coffee directly over your penis." #HappyBirthdayJoanBlondell #TCMParty

"What ARRRR you doin'?" Jean Hagan deserved the Oscar for her delivery of that line alone. #SinginInTheRain #TCMParty

Feign to deny it, but, when watching a Joan Crawford movie, we all try to place her "look" on the Mommie Dearest scale. It's bred in our bones. Torch Song is somewhere between "Barbara! Please!" and "Pally— that's what he calls you when he can't remember your name." #TorchSong #TCMParty

There is no scenario in which Joan Crawford and Robert Young engage in sex that doesn't end with her grinding him to a whimpering pulp. Trust me: I've run every possible scenario through the processes of my filthy imagination. #GoodbyeMrFancy #TCMParty

The only New York City scavenger hunt I give a flying fuck about. #NYCMayoralPoliticsNeedntBeAMatterOfNationalUrgency #TCMParty

September Pillow Come Talk. Shameless! #ComeSeptember #TCMParty

Dominatrix Francon, patron saint of size queens, finally finds one big enough to suit her needs. #TheFountainhead #TCMParty

Every day at 3 p.m. sharp, I drop a phallic symbol from my balcony. I find it spiritually cleansing. Today I dropped a circus peanut. Tomorrow I might drop a poppyseed or a very large baked potato. Depends on how tonight's Sniffies hookup goes. #TCMParty #TheFountainHead

And a kitten in the sheets. #TCMParty #LionInTheStreets

Samson cropped. Full photo available on your local internet. You won't be disappointed. #TCMparty #SamsonAndDelilah

He had a smokin' hot body and had no qualms about displaying it throughout his career.* I'll give him that much. #TCMParty #SUTS #CharlesBronson *Which is why I've kept my TV on but mercifully muted much of the day. Never know when you might glance up and find him in a state of dishabille.

How I wish I had the energy to stay awake for A Touch of Evil, not least because Mercedes McCambridge at her butchest is everything to me. But it's been an extremely long day. I leave Ms. McCambridge in your capable hands, my parasocial friends. #TCMParty #ATouchOfEvil #SUTS

"In bed." Give Lorene Tuttle a posthumous Oscar already! Jesus. It's been 65 years! #TCMParty #Psycho #SUTS

Meanwhile, in a quiet "fuck you" to fascism, America's favorite no-balled, one-eyed, one-eared French Bulldog continues to take his evening constitutionals on the sidewalks of Washington, DC, just a few blocks from where Big Balls was allegedly and most conveniently beaten up.

Looking forward to re-watching Come Back, Little Sheba on Shirley Jones Day. #ShirleysAreFungible #TCMParty

Due to TCM's technical difficulties, my dog and I have resorted to re-enacting our favorite scenes from #TermsOfEndearment in the privacy of our home. Here's my dog screaming: "All she had to do is hold out until ten! And it's past ten! Give her the shot! Do you understand me?" #TCMParty

How cheeky of Hitch to cast the two commonly confused Mildreds in the same movie. #TheTroubleWithHarry #TCMParty

When I was a wee gay, my mom's (likely gay) cousin moved to FL and left a bunch of his shit for storage in our attic, including his record collection. I promptly stole this gem and played the fuck out of it. To this day, I can sing 'Teacher's Pet' word for word from memory. #TCMParty #TeachersPet

The magnitude of her fame is difficult to explain to those who didn't grow up steeped in it. Even when she no longer was making top-tier films, she remained the biggest star of them all. J.G. Ballard's 1973 novel Crash gives you some sense of the enormity of her cultural presence. #TCMParty #SUTS

I have a bone to pick with the corporate bean counters involved in selecting today's mostly "meh" roster of Dame Elizabeth Taylor films. #TCMParty #RainTreeCounty

Vicki, honey, if I'd been born in a trunk in a theater in Pocatello, Idaho, I'd keep that detail to myself. I mean, I was born in the back of a Ford Ranchero in the parking lot of the Dixie Truckstop in Waynesville, Illinois, but I wouldn't be caught dead singing about it. #AStarIsBorn #TCMParty

Have we reached consensus on the clinically correct name for this particular shade of blue? I vote for serge. Whatever it's called, I think it may be my favorite color in the whole wide world. #TCMParty #AStarIsBorn #SUTS

She wears a cheese Danish hot-glued to the top of her head. She chain smokes. She knits. She bosses Claude Raines around all day. She is perfect in every way. #TCMParty #Notorious

Stewart Granger's nipple has magical healing powers. #TCMParty #CaesarAndCleopatra #SUTS

Two dramatically different yet extremely tasteful ensembles from my soon to-be-launched I ❤️Jesus Collection. #TCMParty #TheSoundOfMusic

Oh, ffs, Liesl. He's obviously a Nazi. Which means you have only two options: Punch him or peg him. I'm beginning to think you're not up to this moment, Liesl. #TCMParty #TheSoundOfMusic

The patron saint of every gay boy who dreaded Dodge Ball Friday in P.E. Plus, she was a very fine actress and a great beauty. #TCMParty #TheSoundOfMusic
