Bringing the drinks to #TCMParty. Cocktail recipes/history. Also jazz, dogs and whatever else distracts from these trying times. And yes, politics bc the moment calls for it (1. Not affiliated with TCM, just a fan. 2. We sip to savor, drink sparingly.)
Love this because I always hated that song (except when Bing and Bowie do it...)

MacMurray's surely the villain in #TheApartment but he has fabulous taste in tiki bars. So let's do a QUEEN'S PARK SWIZZLE - a Christmasy looking (pic in 🧵) tiki classic.

Nine years ago Mike Fitzgerald wrote up an extraordinarily fascinating breakdown of the differences between the Tom Stoppard shooting script and the original Jeffrey Boam draft of Indiana Jones and The Last Crusade.

My annual reminder that THE VERY THOUGHT OF YOU (1944) is possibly the loveliest Thanksgiving movie ever made. It has everything: romance via Eleanor Parker and Dennis Morgan; blacklist interest via co-screenwriter Alvah Bessie; great DP in Bert Glennon; and an underrated auteur, Delmer Daves.

This is the first Thanksgiving for Sophie & Colin Hortman without their parents, Minnesota state Rep. Melissa Hortman and Mark Hortman who were assassinated along with the family dog in an act of political murder. National guards troops were not deployed to the state in response.

If I ever move back to MI, it'll be so I can vote for McMorrow (tho' I'm pretty sure it won't be long before I get to vote for her on the national level...) Thankful on this day to have such strong, brilliant women like her coming out of my home state...
Dreading the political fights over Thanksgiving dinner?
This Thanksgiving, we bring you ten things to argue about instead:

I love this idea. My dad died when I was three and I had to figure out simple things like how to tie a tie and even shave on my own. Please retweet this because I know there are a lot of kids out there who could use some help with day to day life.

The notorious Chilly Willy, who broke loose in 1990 and made it to Canada, ultimately found by the U.S. Coast Guard on the Canadian side of Lake St. Clair. Probably Detroit's only Thanksgiving balloon scandal.
