So many movies used the miracle of radio transcriptions to commit murders back in the day.

It's a little anticlimactic to hear all these cliches from the supposedly brilliant columnist. #TCMParty

“The Dagobodd Couple”

politiBOO! @politiburb.bsky.social · 17h

Alternate trilogy where Dooku and Yoda both end up on Dagobah squabbling about ideology and philosophy like a pair of bitchy old people at the senior home and Luke shows up like wtf. Yoda says "Teach you in the ways of the Force, I will. Ignore my former Padawan roommate, you should. Suck, he does."

Vera Caspary’s novel is excellent though if I remember correctly, Lydecker is a balding, overweight guy and not as suave and debonair as Clifton Webb. #Laura #TCMParty

Every time I see #Laura, I think how strange it is that Vincent Price is playing the foppish young boyfriend and not someone more sinister. #TCMParty

Pope Leo told U.S. bishops visiting him at the Vatican on Wednesday that they should firmly address how immigrants are being treated by President Donald Trump's hardline policies, attendees said, in the latest push by the pontiff on the issue. For @reuters.com:
