Never dawned on me until now that NOTORIOUS crosses over with REBECCA in some respects (e.g. the forbidden rooms, the mistrustful housekeepers). #TCMParty

JD Vance said on my teevee this morning that ICE personnel are constantly being threatened and getting "shot at and and beat up" all over the place. Combing social media looking for videos that might bear this out, but gosh...it seems to be the inverse!

JD Vance got Max Schumacher'd by George Stephanopoulos this morning on This Week. I bet Vance is mad as hell!

George Stephanopoulos just demonstrated how you deal with lying, filibustering sacks of shit like JD Vance. Journalists with any sense of integrity please take note. Thank you for your attention to this matter! #ThisWeek

Rest in peace to the great Diane Keaton, fearless and unique, a dream actress indeed. 📷 Norman Seeff, Los Angeles, 1975

Black and white shot of Diane Keaton in a tank top with her hands behind her head. I like this photo for its simplicity; you can feel her personality.

I'm taking this personally. Don't know where to start. She was in so many of the films that formed me as a cineaste. RIP Diane Keaton. #TCMParty

The "New Hollywood" kids are aging out, and while I know it's inevitable, it's heartbreaking.
