Singing “Barbara Allen” to a dog. 😂 “Don’t stay up all night watching old movies.” Too late. Haha. #TCMParty #BestInShow.

Christopher Guest really nails that accent. It’s such a specific southern accent, and he has all the nuance of it right. His dog is my favorite. Hounds are great. A-woooooo!!! 🐕 #TCMParty #BestInShow

My favorite of all these great Christopher Guest mockumentaries is #AMightyWind. It’s not only really funny like them all, but it’s the saddest one of them. Very poignant. When Mickey says at the end, when she’s singing about medical gear, “I’m a musician again.” 😭 #TCMParty

“Come with me, my pretty!” Oh wow! That was a 5/5 on the Veda scale. 👋 Excellent. #TheseThree #TheChildren’sHour #TCMParty

How can the adults in #TheseThree or #TheChildren’sHour not get that Mary is totally blackmailing Rosalie!? And Rosalie gave Veronica Cartwright a run for her money with that crying.
Something I didn’t think anyone could do! Great hysterics! #TCMParty

Wow. Bonita Granville is totally excellent at being awful.
I’d prefer her over Karen Balkin who played Mary in #TheChildren’sHour. Karen was great at being a pain in the ass and horrible, but Bonita seems really evil! How powerful she would have been in the original story. #TheseThree #TCMParty

I’ve seen #TheChildren’sHour dozens of times. I’ve always avoided seeing #TheseThree because I prefer Hellmann’s original. But it’s amazing how much of the dialogue is identical between the 2 films. The burning question: will this Rosalie be able to cry as well as Veronica Cartwright!? #TCMParty

The only link between babies and ChatGPT is that they both produce an enormous amount of shit.
Jimmy Fallon: "And do you use ChatGPT when raising your baby?"
Sam Altman: "I cannot imagine figuring out how to raise a newborn without ChatGPT."
