After #NoirAlley my second favourite programming feature is #TCMImports. I was finally able to borrow a copy of Alicia Malone’s beautiful book
There’s 52 movies discussed plus a ton of other recommendations mentioned I’m setting myself the goal of watching one film from this list per week in 2026

If you follow me and don’t want to see these posts feel free and mute #TCMImportsTheBook
Same goes for #MusicAll as I watch music related films, musicals and documentaries throughout the month of January

Canadian banks feeling great about attempted US overthrow of Venezuelan govt. This gets reported as news, because apparently we should all share in whatever joys Scotiabank is feeling. Elbows fly wherever and whenever the Canadian elite want to make money, an evergreen lesson.

I once met a famous film critic in an airport on a work trip and I asked him what movie had he recently seen that deserved more eyeballs and without hesitation he told me SING STREET (2016)📽️, which is was entry #23 of #MusicAll January 🎼
He was right. It deserves to be seen by more people. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ ½

Quite frankly, it’s outrageous that Mark Carney is cutting Statistics Canada. If he was Stephen Harper or Pierre Poilievre, I feel like this would be getting a lot more backlash.
Carney of all people should know the importance of high-quality data and information about the country.

Entry #22 of #MusicAll🎼 January was a first time watch for me, AN AMERICAN IN PARIS (1951)📽️. Gene Kelly is super as usual and there’s a ton of iconic songs. Great stuff.

Entry #20 of #MusicAll January 🎼 was HEDWIG AND THE ANGRY INCH (2001)📽️, a film that i adored 25 yrs ago but it seems to have lost some of its lustre with this last viewing. The music, costumes etc are still top notch, but some of the character elements and trans stereotypes haven’t aged well. ⭐️⭐️⭐️½

Entry #19 of #MusicAll January🎼 was SUMMER OF SOUL (…OR WHEN THE REVOLUTION CAN NOT BE TELEVISED) (2021) 📽️. I love old-school festival films and this one does not disappoint.
Features legends such as Nina Simone, Stevie Wonder, B.B. King and more.. directed by Questlove. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Entry #18 of #MusicAll January 🎼 was ALL THAT JAZZ (1979)📽️, a movie that I did not care for when I first saw it when I was young as thought it was boring. Boy was I wrong. Good performances but the editing really stands out, it’s kinda rare that I’m particularly impressed about editing.

Entry #17 of #MusicAll January 🎼 was LAST OF THE MISSISSIPPI JUKES (2003)📽️, a documentary with some good music but it’s pretty thin on content. By far Morgan Freeman’s least known film.

Twitter is the world’s largest generator of CSAM & non-consensual porn by a margin of about 8000%, and somehow… MSM isn’t even reporting on it.
(also includes advice for reporting ‘deepfake harassment’ to police if it escalates to a point where restraining order is necessary)
