According to Pauline Kael's (negative) review, The Best Years of Our Lives originates with a single photograph and its caption. Many films start with a single picture, literal or imagined. Philosophically, there's a very good argument that it's the best launchpad for a film, actually. #TCMParty
Near-Vertigo level mirror use in this scene. The camera barely moves and you get seven different shots in one conversation. #TCMParty
If you made this movie verbatim today, Twitter would lose their minds insisting that a mid-20th century man would never say this. #TCMParty
His palms are sweaty, knees weak, arms are heavy There's vomit on his sweater already: Mom's spaghetti He's nervous, but on the surface he looks calm and ready #TCMParty
This is the type of line that you should excise, even though it means you don't get credit from many. He wouldn't ask if Three To A Match precludes him lighting up in any event. An unspoken moment of him struggling with another match would have been better, but would be lost on some. #TCMParty
None of Thiel, Brin, or Musk live in California. They'd all be out of reach of this tax. The Prop is good, but this article is BS, and the author knows it. Ro Khanna is not a serious person. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...
Why are people pretending we didn't already know OJ did it? We've always known. It doesn't mean the jury didn't get it right (they did): You can't convict beyond a reasonable doubt after what the cops did.
The Passion of Remembrance preceded by Ten Bob in Winter. Introduction by Abdu Aljahma, founder and curator of Cinema Ras.
I love Scaramucci talked to Remnick about Zacharia and the result is an article where Scaramucci looks as bad as anyone. I had completely forgotten most this stuff. www.newyorker.com/news/the-led...
Studios should take note of the proof point that movies are hyped too far out. Mahershala Ali made this point recently - youtu.be/Zj_tL5ew1Yc... - but it's been obvious for years. If we'd been talking about it and had clips for a year, YCSE wouldn't be the highest rated movie in LB history today.

Never seen this before, it's leaving Prime soon, and I got home too late for Rear Window on TCM.
I don't agree with this piece. I think it's repeatedly (though certainly not entirely) assuming too much design on Trump's part and underestimating the corrosiveness of profound unseriousness, but it's incredibly thoughtful and interesting.

The 45th and 47th president has been called consequential, imaginative, influentialâsometimes for better, mostly for worse. Ta-Nehisi Coates takes it one beat further in a bid to examine just how pivo...

I know Godzilla movies at their best are all about the scenes between the attacks, but whenever Godzilla isn't on screen in Godzilla movies, I'm like Milhouse complaining about when Itchy and Scratchy are going to get to the fireworks factory. #TCMParty
Just watched Fjord. My lord is it terrible. Up next a 70s movie I haven't heard of. We'll see. Also Michael Douglas is in the building signing his new book (?) and there's quite a crowd.
