Please do come to my fancy costume party at the villa I’m renting in Rome. #TCMParty #ThePinkPanther

I know where the gays in Cortina d’Ampezzo are: dancing for Fran Jeffries. #TCMParty #ThePinkPanther

Diegetic music that breaks the fourth wall! Drink! #TCMParty #ThePinkPanther

Ragazzi! Time for the best après-ski ever! #TCMParty #ThePinkPanther

Loving the Imperial March version of Meglio Stasera. #TCMParty #ThePinkPanther

Love the sound design there when spills the pills and crunches them by stepping on them—twice—and then his poor violin! #TCMParty #ThePinkPanther

Amen! I don’t even need to ski! #TCMParty #ThePinkPanther

Claudia Cardinale’s dialog was dubbed by Canadian folk singer Gale Garnett (known for “We’ll Sing in the Sunshine”). #TCMParty #ThePinkPanther

Capucine goes all in on the slapstick, and I love it. It’s especially funny when someone is glamorous as she is is game for a lot of slapstick comedy. #TCMParty #ThePinkPanther

The Peter Gunn theme was one of Mancini’s two Emmy nominations. (The other was for “The Thorn Birds.”) #TCMParty #ThePinkPanther

Capucine counting the egg and butter money so carefully she can buy a mink. #TCMParty #ThePinkPanther

I love Capucine’s quick change in the elevator. #TCMParty #ThePinkPanther

One of the all-time greats! Mancini was nominated for the score, one of his 18 music nominations. #TCMParty #ThePinkPanther

Like The Thin Man, #ThePinkPanther has become known for something that isn’t any of the main characters. #TCMParty

For #ThePinkPanther tonight on TCM, a good recipe for a Pink Lady 1 ½ oz gin ½ oz apple brandy ¾ oz lemon juice ¼ oz grenadine 1 egg white (pasteurized for safety) Brandied cherry for garnish #TCMParty

Fig 1: Disney fucking around Fig. 2: Disney finding out

Ahem. 👇🏻

Wishing everyone a great Fall.

Hot guy at the gym is almost certainly a fascist but until I have proof I’m going to continue to admire his form while he does squats.

"Hey Charles, this is your cousin Marvin Dickens. I think I got that opening line for your next book!" #ATimeOfWhatever

BRB traveling back in time to visit the Gay Way

Man, the Gay Way was great!

Join us tomorrow night at 8pE for a watch-party of THE PINK PANTHER (1963). This is the original with David Niven, Capucine, Claudia Cardinale, and R.J. #TCMParty ^JW

Happy September 21st to all who celebrate.

Is there a way on the iPhone to keep the calendar app from make any time zone adjustments? It seems “Time Zone Override” gives only two options, and I don’t want either: display in the time zone selected or display in the time zone you’re in.

I’m all . . .

“Welp, that’s my biggest weakness!” 🤷🏼‍♂️

Ideal middle seat person: someone tiny with a morbid fear of armrests.

Not sure why my email sends me my own out-of-office message when I bcc myself.

By coincidence, I had been going over the list of streaming services to which I subscribe but never watch and Hulu was on that list. Not anymore!

Pepperoni pizza is among humanity's greatest accomplishments. #TakingMyJoyWhereIFindIt

Do we think Angela ever gets married, or does she carry a torch for George and George alone forever? #TCMParty #APlaceInTheSun

You can never go wrong with Anne Revere. #TCMParty #APlaceInTheSun

MISTRIAL! #TCMParty #APlaceInTheSun

If she hadn’t fallen out of the boat, do we think he’d’ve done it? #TCMParty #APlaceInTheSun

Mistrial! #TCMParty #APlaceInTheSun

Are we meant to understand that they sold their summer place? #TCMParty #OhPlaceInTheSun

So many fantastic shots in this movie. #APlaceInTheSun #TCMParty

Angela’s class privilege means she can speed and lead the police on a chase and get away with just a ticket, while George, being poor, can’t get away with murder. #TCMParty #APlaceInTheSun

Just out of curiosity, how do you parents feel about homicidal intent followed by a bad accident? #TCMParty #APlaceInTheSun

She’s awful bundled up for Labor Day. #TCMParty #APlaceInTheSun

I wonder what he would’ve if it hadn’t been Labor Day. #TCMParty #APlaceInTheSun

Well that settles it! She’s beautiful, she’s rich, and she adores you! I think all you have to do is marry her and life will be perfect! #TCMParty #APlaceInTheSun

This was William C. Mellor’s first nomination and first win for Best Cinematography (Black & White). He was nominated four times, winning again for The Diary of Anne Frank. I think the cinematography in #APlaceInTheSun is spectacular, in case you hadn’t noticed. #TCMParty

I love how his eyes are completely in shadow when he starts listening to the news reports about deaths over the holiday weekend. #TCMParty #APlaceInTheSun

This confession of love scene includes some of my favorite shots in any movie just because these too-close close-ups really make us feel like we’re spying (and it comes immediately after they’ve run out of the ballroom when Liz says “Oh! Are they watching?”). #TCMParty #APlaceInTheSun

Off the top of my head, I can think of two movies Elizabeth Taylor made in which her beauty is matched by her male co-star’s beauty and the fact that they’re both so beautiful is important to the narrative: #APlaceInTheSun and Cat on a Hot Tin Roof. #TCMParty

I mean, if someone as beautiful as Elizabeth Taylor is interested in you how are you ever going to resist? #TCMParty #APlaceInTheSun
