Old movies are perfect for trying to live in today’s world. If only we could live in #TCMParty & shut out everything else.

It’s George Banks! #SoLongattheFair #TCMParty

She actually played a role called Sally Field? 🤭 #BlackTuesday #TCMParty #NoirAlley

If they were to remake this movie today, I wonder what it would look like. Between all the semiautomatic weapons, swat teams, bulletproof vests, hostage negotiations-it would look very different. Less acting; more violence. #BlackTuesday #TCMParty #NoirAlley

Man… Edward G. Is really despicable. He’s not the guy from Double Indemnity! #BlackTuesday #TCMParty #NoirAlley

I don’t know if she was - but I feel like all these actors were on Perry Mason at one point or another. ☺️#BlackTuesday #TCMParty #NoirAlley

Listen to those adding machines in the background. Old offices used to be very noisy #BlackTuesday #TCMParty #NoirAlley

#TCMParty is here during the week too. Many of us are escaping as best we can. #NoirAlley

#Frankenstein. The 19th Century’s 1st attempt at building an AI machine 🤭 #TCMParty #TheCurseofFrankenstein

Ah, Sweet Mystery of Life, I think I found thee ….. 😆 #Svengoolie #YoungFrankenstein

Does anyone really listen to them anymore? You’d be surprised how clear things become when you walk away from ALL of them- both sides.

I have never seen one of his Halloween movies. #TCMParty

We can’t let Vincent Price’s role & performance in Thriller be forgotten. Often imitated never duplicated. RIP MTV. The film would not have been the same w/o his “rap” #TCMParty

The audience would have felt sorry for The Monster ☺️ #Frankenstein #TCMParty

A girl doesn’t tell her age ☺️ but I was in the 80s. Engineering classes in the old Fanny Farmer candy factory 😉 across from the Stella D’ori bakery.

There should be a film requirement that #YoungFrankenstein must be played after #Frankenstein every time! #TCMParty

Poor monster. He was so frightened 🥺 🌻 #TCMParty #Frankenstein

Let me just point out that once Oct 1 hit - there is no money to spend. So did they ACTUALLY PAY for these, take them on credit or make a donor pay for them? All choices don’t seem legal right now. Would some crack pot DC press corp find out!!!
