ANNIE HALL (1977) and SOMETHING'S GOTTA GIVE (2003) are returning to theaters in memory of Diane Keaton. www.hollywoodreporter.com/movies/movie... #FilmSky #DianeKeaton

So sad about the death of Diane Keaton. (Doesn’t feel real to even write that.) Whether in a film or interview, she was always fun, funny, insightful, smart, with incredible style. A unique talent and person, a treasure. #RIPDianeKeaton

What kid wouldn’t want *double checks menu* a chore chart as their super cool reward for behaving? I can only blame Cold War paranoia requiring military efficiency starting with the children. But, hey, kids, enjoy your creamed chicken and peas! Pland’s Restaurant, Oakland, CA 1950’s

Absolutely breaks my heart that this is what our educators are going through in America. Bless her! 💔

looked up the clip just because sometimes people change his words for captions that end up innocently reshared, but upon finding it decided to share the video because hearing him say it makes it 1000% more definitely true and everyone will listen/believe more than reading it written out

awesome news. Congratulations @archive.org on being designated an FDLP library!! www.kqed.org/news/1204942...

⭐ The Bob Lardine Interview Tapes are recordings of stars, talking careers, regrets, & what’s next. Henry Winkler @hwinkler4real.bsky.social in 1975 is especially moving: aware of his fame & already preparing for the end of it. 🎧⤵️ archive.org/details/Henr...

If you only read one column of mine, let it be this one. Children built Pittsburgh too. In our steel mills, coal mines, factories & streets where they worked 12-hour days at dangerous jobs, sometimes losing limb and life. I found some of their voices. www.pittsburghmagazine.com/dahn-memory-...

Every time I drive by it on Smithfield St. here in my hometown of Pittsburgh, I think of its impact.

The Nationals are giving out a Josh Gibson bobblehead to honor the Negro League star and I am speechless

Watched LA BANDERA (1935). Not sure why this isn't as well-known and regarded as Pépé Le Moko. Made two years earlier, directed by Julien Duvivier and starring Jean Gabin. Gabin murders a man then joins the Foreign Legion in Spain to escape but, he's doomed. Loved Annabella. Loved the movie.

BIG NIGHT (1996) is now on Hoopla Digital, free w/ a library card. And it looks like it's the only place you can stream it, other than a VOD rental. www.hoopladigital.com/movie/big-ni... #FilmSky #Streaming

Mr. Booker Goes to Washington.

Dominique is a must-follow.

My burgeoning film critics, entertainment journos and authors, lend me your ears! I regularly write about the institutional knowledge that's disappearing in the journalism world and want to inspire the next generation. So I'm opening myself up to career coaching and consulting. DM for rates!

Pleased to see that my book has been published! It's an academic book about Adam West's signature role in the 1960s Batman series and his subsequent career. Quite a bit of work went into this, happy that it's now out there :D www.routledge.com/Adam-West-as...

"I had a Canadian passport, lawyers, resources, media attention, friends, family and even politicians advocating for me. Yet, I was still detained for nearly two weeks. Imagine what this system is like for every other person in there." www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

A must-listen for me. For those unfamiliar, @eddiemuller.bsky.social hosts "Noir Alley" on @tcmtv.bsky.social and is founder/president of @noirfoundation.bsky.social. Always insightful and entertaining, and @kristenlopez88.bsky.social and @msemilyedwards.bsky.social are terrific interviewers.

Tonight on Noir Alley on TCM #NoirAlley #TCM GUN CRAZY (1950) One of the greatest "couple on the run" films noir. Screenplay by blacklisted Dalton Trumbo; direction by Joseph H. Lewis. With unforgettable performances by Peggy Cummings and John Dahl. A low-budget masterpiece. Essential viewing. 🎥

Jennifer Tilly and Adam Savage appeared on the trivia game Go Fact Yourself, with guest expert Eddie Muller! Ms. Tilly will be appearing at #NoirCityHollywood for a Q&A at our screening of BOUND, Sunday, Mar. 30. The screening is sold out. gofactyourpod.com/episode/ep-1... @eddiemuller.bsky.social

Q: “The foreign affairs minister called all of this a psychodrama - how do you characterize it?” TRUDEAU: “Thursday.” 🔥

BABY FACE (1933) is such a fantastic Pre-Code. Barbara doesn't take any crap (especially from men). Tonight at 8:00pm on @tcmtv.bsky.social

So much great stuff on Hoopla, all free. Movies (including classics!), TV, Ebooks, Audiobooks, Music, Comics. I wish @carnegielibrary.bsky.social had Kanopy also, but Hoopla is excellent.

A gem of a piece by @seancollier.bsky.social, illuminating not only how seeing a movie in a theater elevates any film, but how watching at home degrades the experience, including from issues like poor audio quality and the wrong video settings.

I often think of this, one of the greatest flexes on earth -

“The Gulf Tower Forecasts Rain” is an ambitious anthology edited by Doralee Brooks and featuring 140 poems, all either about or set in Pittsburgh, by 90 living poets. And the forthcoming “Pittsburgh in 50 Maps” is geography professor Stentor Danielson’s compendium of original maps of Pittsburgh.

@miriamclassics.bsky.social Hi Miriam! Not sure how I didn't notice sooner that you're on here But I'm so glad you are. 😊

I wasn't as familiar with George Raft as I should have been (other than he turned down the role of Rick in CASABLANCA (1942), thankfully), but @raquelstecher.bsky.social filled in that blind spot in such an informative, entertaining way (as she usually does).

The TCM Hosts share their movie-related New Year's resolutions to kick off 2025! What's YOURS? 👀 🎥

I'm really sad that the old Wile E. Coyote phone-book billboard was torn down, here's a somewhat overly wordy column about it www.pittsburghmagazine.com/colliers-wee...
