Opening day of ALIEN 3, 5/22/92 mrpeelsardineliqueur.blogspot.com/2012/06/even...

There is so much poetry in Stephen Colbert celebrating his finale on the exact stage where the Beatles changed culture in 1964. Singing "Hello Goodbye" surrounded by his family, his band, and his crew before Paul McCartney flipped the final power switch. This was the perfect full-circle goodbye!

Stephen Colbert closed out the final episode of The Late Show with an emotional performance of “Hello, Goodbye” alongside Paul McCartney. Paul McCartney symbolically switched off the studio lights one last time to the Ed Sullivan Theater. 🥹🥺

30 years ago tonight I was at the Chinese. Happy Anniversary to the NOC List. mrpeelsardineliqueur.blogspot.com/2014/05/havi...

🔥 SPRINGSTEEN: "I’m here to support Stephen Colbert, the first guy who lost his show because a president can't take a joke - and the Ellisons feel they need to kiss his ass… small-minded people with no idea what freedoms of this beautiful country are supposed to be about." 🇺🇸

Rex Reed, the only critic I can think of who did a dance number with Raquel Welch across the street from the Chinese Theater. www.youtube.com/watch?v=v_vi...

Advocates of the Cinerama Dome in Los Angeles spoke in a public hearing to put pressure on the owners of the venue to reopen the historic site.

RIP Rex Reed.

May 10th. Thank God for the rain which has helped wash away the garbage and the trash off the sidewalks.

"A true American original, Ted Turner lived his life large and with purpose. He studied the past to fully understand the present and prepare for the future,” writes @oldfilmsflicker.bsky.social in her obituary for the late pioneer, entertainer, ecologist, and showmen.

25 Degrees is closed. There’s a disturbance in the Force guys ^PG #TCMParty #TCMFF https://ktla.com/news/local-news/popular-hollywood-hamburger-destination-closing/

I remain pleased with how my Cinematrix went today.

If there was no TCM Film Festival I wouldn't have met @redhairglasses.bsky.social therefore if there was no @tcmtv.bsky.social I wouldn't have met @redhairglasses.bsky.social therefore if there was no Ted Turner I wouldn't have met @redhairglasses.bsky.social so my eternal thanks to him.

RIP Ted Turner who had a video ready to go at CNN in case the end was near which inspired this scene in GREMLINS 2. www.youtube.com/watch?v=qzhP...

We can easily do without CNN, but TCM is the greatest cable channel of all time. Rest In Peace, Ted Turner.

Ted Turner was briefly so destructive to film preservation that the GOVERNMENT created the National Film Registry to keep some films safe, then Turner was like “fine! You like preservation so much, here’s a channel that just shows movies unaltered for 24 hours!!!” and it was the best channel ever.

Felt like listening to the Jerry Goldsmith easy listening shopping montage music from ESCAPE FROM THE PLANET OF THE APES. www.youtube.com/watch?v=oNRv...

It's still May the 4th so here's what I once wrote about the film that used to be called just STAR WARS. mrpeelsardineliqueur.blogspot.com/2019/12/good...

I do not say this lightly... this is one of the best, most thoughtful appreciations of THE LAST JEDI I have read. Well worth your time.
