This is my second favorite part of #TheBirds. I don’t know why I find Cathy crying in the window so funny. #tcmparty

The hysterical mom in #TheBirds gets her just desserts. She’s the one who ruined Henry Fonda’s life in “The Wrong Man” by misidentifying him. #tcmparty

This is my favorite part. I THINK YOU’RE EVIL! EVIL! #thebirds #tcmparty

I’m a little behind, he hasn’t seen that part yet. He laughed at the kids getting attacked at Cathy’s birthday party.

This bird used to dislike #TheBirds but on this watch he was laughing at the birds. #TcmParty

On a plane ride home from Austin to Portland with a layover in Phoenix. Looking forward to seeing this guy again.

The guy playing the bassist who talks about the inspiration behind "Wild Summer Nights" played David's dad in 90210. He's the one who gave Donna the champagne, causing her to be drunk at the prom and leading to the "Donna Martin Graduates" fiasco. #TCMParty #EddieandtheCruisers.

Buddy the Bird started singing during the "Sex Farm" scene. I like to think he was singing "Sex Farm" too. #TCMParty #ThisisSpinalTap.

Being able to trade in a guitar for cheese or vice versa is a great business model!

My husband and I learned from Rob Reiner, Christopher Guest, Michael McKean, and Harry Shearer's new book about Spinal Tap that "Laverne and Shirley" apparently was critical to the formation of Spinal Tap and #ThisisSpinalTap. #TCMParty

I saw Spinal Tap II last month. It wasn't quite as good as the first one, but it was still funny and worth watching. Nigel's amp that goes to 11 has been replaced with him acquiring dozens of effects pedals in case he needs that certain sound while he's playing.

The camera work in #ThisisSpinalTap is hilarious. Everyone needs an extreme close-up of Harry Shearer's crotch in red spandex pants. #TCMParty

@tcmtv.bsky.social's programming of fake bands has now inspired my husband to create his own spotlight. When I return from Austin on Friday, we may be devoting our rainy Portland weekend to movies about fake bands. #TCMParty

If only I owned Nigel's anatomically correct green skeleton top and his red checkered "Big Bottom" pants.

I love "Big Bottom." The song and the music make me laugh no matter how many times I hear it.

I'm supposed to be packing for my trip to Austin tomorrow. I have my clothes laid out in a pile; but now I have to watch #ThisisSpinalTap. #TCMParty

I hadn't seen #ThatThingYouDo since it came out in 1996. I think my parents might have rented it from Hollywood Video. I forgot how enjoyable it is and the title track is definitely an earworm. #TCMParty

I’ve heard the waltz playing at #ClaudeRains’ party in #Notorious in another movie. I can’t think of what it is though. For some reason I’m thinking #StageDoor. #tcmparty

The bird decided he wanted to play in his shower during #NoirAlley #NewYorkConfidential #tcmparty

Oh it’s John McGiver, the butterfly collector in search of the pussycat swallowtail on Gilligan’s Island. #tcmparty #TheManchurianCandidate

This fight scene makes me wish #FrankSinatra had made a movie with #BruceLee. #TheManchurianCandidate. #tcmparty

Buzz saying "for what? a couple of old poopheads?" always makes me laugh. #RebelWithoutaCause #tcmparty

It would have been so interesting to have seen where #JamesDean's career would have gone had he not died in 1955. I could see him having a similar career to Steve McQueen or Paul Newman. #TCMParty #EastofEden.

I don't blame Abra for being into Cal, her boyfriend sucks. I'd rather date Cal too. #EastofEden #TCMParty

Met #MargaretOBrien today at a screening of #MeetMeinStLouis at @hollywoodtheatre.org!! Sold-out crowd! I also got an autograph. It was a great day today! #classicfilm
