"Tell me something..." "You don't look as if I could." Great exchange. #OutOfThePast #TCMParty

I don't know what's missing in this movie #Hindenberg none of the characters are sympathetic and the film score where is it? So many good actors but the screenplay suck eggs big time.

Jumping ahead to the end of THE LADY FROM SHANGHAI (1947). This climax is such an absolute banger it absolves the film from all its sins. #TheNoirCollective #TheLadyFromShanghai

I'm a little bit behind on my LADY FROM SHANGHAI (1948) watch. I'm struck by the poster in the seaman's hiring hall, and the background players in the scene. #TheNoirCollective #TheLadyFromShanghai

On Marilyn Monroe's 100th birthday, listen to our trilogy of "Dead Blondes" episodes devoted to the iconic star, starting with a flashback episode about her early years: podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/d...

I think people continue to underestimate Marilyn to this day. There is a reason so many were (and are) captivated by her. So much more than a pretty face, she was extremely good at what she did. And she ate this role up. Happy 100th, Marilyn. #GentlemenPreferBlondes #TCMParty

Banger opening. The colors, the costumes and the LADIES! #TCMParty #GentlemenPreferBlondes

Food insecurity in the U.S. has surged to levels not seen since the height of the pandemic. More families are skipping meals, relying on food banks, and struggling to keep up with rising prices as incomes fall and SNAP cuts take effect. For millions, the economy isn't working.

NOIRISTAS, WE NEED YOUR HELP! #TheNoirCollective would love to host a watch party of TOMORROW IS ANOTHER DAY (1951), but we can’t find a high-def copy. The DVD came out in 2006; there’s been no Blu-ray. Does anyone have access to – or know where we can find – a version 720p or higher? Thanks!

Went to the library to pick up one hold. Came back with two novels, two graphic novels, and two movies. I ❤️ libraries. #booksky

Trump admin removed Treasury official from her position after she objected to printing patently illegal $250 bill with Trump’s face on it. #America250 #DonaldTrump #PattySolimene #currency www.jezebel.com/250-dollar-b...

The Trump $250 bill is my favorite low-stakes thing people are annoyed by On one hand, $250 is such a relatively rinky-dink amount of money for him - he could have done a Mr. Burns-style trillion-dollar bill - but on the other, he’s notoriously cheap

Bluesky isn't a bubble or an echo chamber, it's a garden. You plant some seeds and pull some weeds, you tend to it with care, and you make it into a space that pleases you when you come to sit in it a while. Other people can plant and tend to their own gardens, if they like. This garden is yours.

Happy birthday to a triple bill of horror royalty 👻 🦇 Christopher Lee was born today in 1922. 🦇 Vincent Price was born today in 1911. 🦇 Peter Cushing was born yesterday (close enough!) in 1913. Now that’s spooky…

A kind guy came home from work with a super timid stray dog . The pup had been living outside his job site and was extremely scared of people. They took him to the vet (no microchip found) and slowly helped him come out of his shell with love and patience. ❤️

Just remembering this piece of artistry #Arsenal
