Last night, I went up to the beautiful Northrup Auditorium on the U of Minn. campus in Minneapolis to see Elvis Costello perform. 2.5 hour show, non-stop, 28 songs! I've been listening to his records since the 70's, so it was quite fun! www.setlist.fm/setlist/elvi...

Minnehaha Falls, Minneapolis. You forget you are in the middle of a large metropolis.

#TCMParty #Vertigo When she says where should we go for dinner, I shouted out "How about Bellevue?!"

"Judy, please! It can't matter to you!"
That line always makes me cringe, when he is trying to remake Judy as Madeline

When I first saw #Vertigo on a VHS rental tape, I didn't realize it was Kim Novak! She did a great job changing her whole personality #Vertigo #TCMParty

She’s very good. When she opens the door and sees him, she doesn’t show any bit of surprise. #Vertigo. #TCMParty.

At 2 hours, 8 minutes, #Vertigo is tied for 5th place (Torn Curtain) on the longest Hitchcock list. First place is Topaz, at 2 hours 23 minutes. #TCMParty

Yes, you can just feel everyone in the room squirm in their seats

Henry Jones' deadpan delivery of that scathing summary of the facts always makes me laugh. #Vertigo #TCMParty

They should build a bell tower. That would shut up everyone that asks where it is :) #TCMParty

The Mission San Juan Bautista bell tower was faked — the upper tower is a matte painting.

I always wonder whatever happened to the portraits/paintings that you see in classic films. (and, of course, wish I had some of them!) #Vertigo #TCMParty

Now that it is October, I vividly remember the 1989 Bay Area World Series with the Giants vs. Athletics. The big earthquake hit, and the TV cameras were shaking. Yes, I'm old! #TCMParty

I think Bernard Herrmann's last film was Taxi Driver (1976). The jazzy score for that was just perfect. In fact, I think I might watch that tomorrow; haven't seen it in awhile! #TCMParty

This extended "silent" part of #Vertigo is my favorite part. That, and the Henry Jones monologue (IYKYK) #TCMParty

I remember when all those "lost" Hitchcock films were released on VHS. I rented all of them; loved them all, of course. But Rope (1948) and The Trouble With Harry (1955) were the ones that I enjoyed the most! #TCMParty

Michael Reed @mikeyreed.bsky.social · 3d

I'd go with The Godfather (1972) or The Godfather Part II (1974). I can never decide which of the 2 I like better. #TCMParty

In 2012, this film finally dethroned Citizen Kane as the greatest film of all time (Sight & Sound poll). Is this the greatest film ever made? If not, what is?

#NowWatching Portrait of a Lady on Fire (2019, France) with Noémie Merlant, Adèle Haenel, Luàna Bajrami. On an isolated island in Brittany at the end of the eighteenth century, a female painter is obliged to paint a wedding portrait of a young woman.

The nice weather didn't hurt today's No Kings event here in Rochester, MN. There was a one mile walk, and it appeared the whole route was filled with people! I usually don't go to things like this, but it is scary to see the USA slipping into fascism. (Photo courtesy of the Rochester Post-Bulletin)

Ha, yes, the similarity between cats and rugs was too much for me to pass up :)
