Happy Valentine’s Day! Some #FilmNoir valentines, courtesy of @nitratediva.bsky.social. #NoirAlley #TCMParty

Damn. Of course rogue #NoirAlley is happening on the one night I have plans. Enjoy, friends! I will admire from afar… 😞 #TCMParty

I was just telling my husband (a #TheBigLebowski fan) that the #FilmNoirClub is watching it tonight. I’ve seen it once and didn’t really appreciate it. He says you acquire a taste for it the more you watch it. Accurate?

I like that @bsky.app gives thought to how they describe their app updates - how AI describes them, most likely. But still.

Ronald Colman, Actor, #BornOnThisDay in 1891, in Richmond, Surrey, England

My game day watch, earlier today. #NowWatching #SuperBowl #YaySports

He owns the screen. Little Caesar still got it. #TCMParty #NoirAlley #ViceSquad

Weather here is very un-LA tonight. My movie buddy and I are trying to stay warm. #TCMParty #NoirAlley #ViceSquad

Barry Kelley was a big dude. #TCMParty #NoirAlley #ViceSquad

This is an understatement if we’re talking about Paulette Goddard! #TCMParty #NoirAlley #ViceSquad

Good and evil in #FilmNoir all comes down to whether you’re wearing a light tie on a dark shirt or a dark tie on a light shirt. I don’t make the rules. #TCMParty #NoirAlley #ViceSquad

Dead Reckoning holds a special place in my heart. And my house. #FilmNoirValentine bsky.app/profile/marc...

Remembering Phil Carey, who died on today's date in 2009 at the age of 83. I first knew him as Asa Buchanan on One Life to Live, but later discovered his films like Calamity Jane and Pushover. And I loved his Granny Goose potato chip commercials! bit.ly/44ttUUR

Glenda Farrell and Barton MacLane in a promotion for their seventh and final Torchy Blane movie, “Torchy Runs for Mayor” (1939) — inspired by Glenda’s successful run for the honorary job of Mayor of North Hollywood in 1938.

Favorite #filmnoir couples: Scarlet Street (1945) Tomorrow is Another Day (1951) Macao (1952) #FilmNoirValentine #FilmSky

Listening to an interview with A$AP Rocky. He has name checked Charlie Chaplin and Fred Astaire and talked about how German expressionism and films like Metropolis (1927) have inspired him. Love it when my #ClassicFilm and #HipHopHead worlds collide. #FilmSky

I've created a video for #BlackHistoryMonth annually, highlighting classic Black artists. Another year. Another #BHM. Another annual video. It's February . . . BLACK HISTORY MONTH 2026 Edition 👊🏾 . . . *cue music* Song: "Little Bitty Pretty One" Sung by: Frankie Lymon and The Teenagers

Remembering the late 🇺🇲American actor #ClarkGable (1 February 1901 – 16 November 1960) born #OnThisDay in Cadiz, Ohio

My Unpopular Opinion about #TalkAboutAStranger: I liked it. #TCMParty #NoirAlley

#NoirChecklist for #TalkAboutAStranger: -Creepy neighbor -Gabby neighbor -Suspicious neighbor -Annoying kid, but he’s the main character -Suspicious murder…of a dog -Cameraman John Alton rising above the material -More future Republican politicos than a Yale frat party #TCMParty #NoirAlley

Alternate titles for #TalkAboutAStranger: - Rush to Judgment - Oh Boy - Bud Out - Orange You Glad the Citrus Didn’t Freeze #TCMParty #NoirAlley

I thought the killer was going to turn out to be Camille. #TCMParty #NoirAlley #TalkAboutAStranger

I’m ashamed to say I have never analyzed anyone’s thumbs for indications of criminal tendencies. #TCMParty #NoirAlley #TalkAboutAStranger

Why was the dog running alongside the truck in the first place?!?! He can sleep on the bed but he can’t ride in the truck? #TCMParty #NoirAlley #TalkAboutAStranger

OK so it’s starting out as noir-ish Meet Me in St. Louis…. #TCMParty #NoirAlley #TalkAboutAStranger

Trying to think of other kid noirs. There’s The Well (1951). And then didn’t we see another boy-and-dog #NoirAlley film way back in the day? #TCMParty #TalkAboutAStranger

Dead Reckoning (1947) #FilmNoir

Tag yourself: I require a pilot. *I am also in the gutter, according to this book

Happy Birthday to actor Victor Mature (1913-1999). Some of my favorite VM films: I Wake Up Screaming (1941) Kiss of Death (1947) Cry of the City (1948) The Las Vegas Story (1952) The Long Haul (1957) #VictorMature #HappyBirthday #BOTD #FilmSky @victoriamature.bsky.social

That’s the other childhood to adult disappointment. I really thought there’d be more secret passageways and homes built into trees by now. #RobReiner #ThePrincessBride #tcmparty

‼️ACTUAL GOOD NEWS ALERT‼️ #TCMFF #TCMParty

It looks like they dabbled in furniture as well. Same logo. #TCMParty #NoirAlley #ShieldForMurder

Oh, Temu Liz Taylor. Listen to Mark! Don’t go with Barney! #TCMParty #NoirAlley #ShieldForMurder

Man, I know the #NoirAlley films are programmed well in advance and aren’t screened in real time in response to the events of any particular day but… #TCMParty #ShieldForMurder

Even a rotiss-a-what??? #TCMParty #NoirAlley #ShieldForMurder

In case you’re wondering, I’m taking intermittent breaks from the awful news cycle by watching old Alan Rode #FilmNoir interviews on YouTube and waiting for a foot of snow to drop in Jersey. How’s your Saturday going? Thanks for the brief respite, @thetallcinephile.bsky.social #FilmSky

Dan Duryea in Too Late for Tears (1949) #FilmNoir

Happy Birthday to actor, #FilmNoir legend and my ride-or-die classic film boyfriend, Dan Duryea (1907-1968). While we wait for them to declare this a federal holiday, Happy Dan Duryea Day to all who celebrate. #Danuary #DamesforDuryea #DanDuryea #HappyBirthday #BOTD #FilmSky

Not the magical source of truth I was looking for.

Didn’t get to see #Diabolique this weekend but happened to catch the outro. My mood today is also decrepit and mildewy, BTW. #TCMParty #NoirAlley

I just got annoyed with my family for being too loud while I’m trying to watch a movie. It’s a silent movie. 😑😶 #FilmSky #TCMParty

#filmsky #moviesky #filmnoir #NoirNeckties William Bendix #BOTD & Kirk Douglas in Detective Story, 1951

The treasures you find when you turn the pages of a second-hand book. #Booksky

Walter Pidgeon also had one of the greatest voices in film. Just sayin’ #TCMParty #TCMPromos #MrsParkington #TCMInterstitials
