2/2 It became quite hilarious, listening to the complaints and watching guests demanding their money back. We started counting how many times we heard, “It’s the worst movie I’ve ever seen!” #tcmparty @tcmtv.bsky.social @tcmparty.bsky.social @tcmfans.bsky.social
1/2 My family and I were awaiting a late show of STAR WARS in 1977. EXORCIST II was playing on the other screen. People walked out of EXORCIST in droves. Many warned us, “If you’re going to EXORCIST, get your money back!” #tcmparty @tcmtv.bsky.social @tcmparty.bsky.social @tcmfans.bsky.social
Why did Regan suddenly start droppin’ her “g”s? “First, she was talkin’ on the inside; then she was talkin’ outside.” #tcmparty @tcmtv.bsky.social @tcmparty.bsky.social @tcmfans.bsky.social
The filmmakers severely overestimated the scariness of a flying locust, didn’t they? #tcmparty @tcmtv.bsky.social @tcmparty.bsky.social @tcmfans.bsky.social
@simonsaybrams.bsky.social Also, this poster is in my living room. I love that movie, and got a chance to screen the AGFA print of it when I was at Alamo Drafthouse a few years ago. Did you know it got a paperback novelization?
THE BLOB: dialogue so hip it hurts! #tcmparty @tcmtv.bsky.social @tcmparty.bsky.social @tcmfans.bsky.social
Steve McQueen looks so much like a teenager, you’d swear he went to Rydell High. #tcmparty @tcmtv.bsky.social @tcmparty.bsky.social @tcmfans.bsky.social
Probably not high on the list of “fun” Hitchcock films… #tcmparty @tcmtv.bsky.social @tcmparty.bsky.social @tcmfans.bsky.social
Kind of startling the Hays Code allowed Bankhead to roll around for so long in Hodiak’s lap. #tcmparty @tcmtv.bsky.social @tcmparty.bsky.social @tcmfans.bsky.social
Quite a surprise when you’re watching AND THEN THERE WERE NONE and you notice your Scrabble letters in the rack are spelling out… #tcmparty @tcmtv.bsky.social @tcmparty.bsky.social @tcmfans.bsky.social
This guy and his weepy wife conned my poor grandmother out of tens of thousands of dollars. She thought they were servants of the Lord, doing God’s work. Pardon me if I don’t have any tears to shed.

Geez, Inspector Javert wasn’t this much of a pest! #tcmparty @tcmtv.bsky.social @tcmparty.bsky.social @tcmfans.bsky.social

This is not so much “good cop/bad cop” as it is “bad cop/worse cop.” #tcmparty @tcmtv.bsky.social @tcmparty.bsky.social @tcmfans.bsky.social
I had a boss who used to make cracks about “bankers’ hours” every time we tried to leave early. Now, I understand: banks that were open from 10 to 3? We had longer hours by the time I was a bank teller! #tcmparty @tcmtv.bsky.social @tcmparty.bsky.social @tcmfans.bsky.social
If you can’t actually visit Mexico, visiting a really gaudy Mexican restaurant is a good substitute, right?
Darn you, Doris Day: I was only going to watch a few minutes of JUMBO while I was having lunch. Lunch was done an hour ago. 😂 #tcmparty @tcmtv.bsky.social @tcmparty.bsky.social @tcmfans.bsky.social
Amazing to me that I can’t remember what I ate for lunch on Saturday, yet I still recall the final plot twist from ESCAPE FROM THE PLANET OF THE APES, which I haven’t seen since I was in grade school! #tcmparty @tcmtv.bsky.social @tcmparty.bsky.social @tcmfans.bsky.social
