Before anyone says anything about Marilyn Monroe on the set of #TheMisfits, or how it may have affected others, for example Mr. Gable. I refer you to this photograph and consider the matter closed. #TCMParty

A black and white photograph taken behind the scenes of The Misfits, showing Clark Gable and Marilyn Monroe in costume. Gable is enthusiastically holding Monroe in a huge hug with a smile on his face so big that his eyes are all crinkled up. She is hugging him tightly in return with a big happy smile on her face too. Both are looking at the camera but nothing about this moment feels false, there's a real and strong sense of joy and affection here.

Oh Alan, you silly guy: saying you don’t like #SomeLikeItHot won’t get you blocked. Here’s what will get you blocked: I myself have never *seen* #SomeLikeItHot. (Wow, my feed just got really empty… Where *is* everyone?) #TCMParty

Marilyn still loves you, at least #TCMParty

I’m not a big fan either, but I have seen it twice (one time too many). I hate some very popular films: The Philadelphia Story, Close Encounters of the Third Kind (those damn musical tones!), Forrest Gump, The Lady Eve (yet I love the cast), Aliens (James Cameron and I don’t get along), etc.

I love everything about Marilyn in #SomeLikeItHot. It makes me sad that we didn't have her longer so she could get the raves she deserved. #TCMParty

I feel like we should have a TCM Underground-style watch party for the TCM premiere of Christine this week. #TCMParty

Marilyn’s performance is really very good. Subtly funny, very in the moment. When you consider what they made her do in Bus Stop, you understand how undervalued comedic acting is and that it was truly her metier. #tcmparty #SomeLikeitHot

I get that. I find it funny in a lot of ways, but not Marilyn's part. I actually find her story - the alcoholism, the con run on her, her joyful embrace of the conman at the end - quite sad. Have fun storming the Bugs castle! #SomeLikeItHot #TCMParty

I full-throatedly reject all apologies for personal taste, especially in comedy, the least universal thing in the world. I don't even always like the same movie as Six Months Ago Me adored, and vice versa. #TCMParty

Billy Wilder is one of my favorite directors. This movie is one of my top five favorites of his films. #SomeLikeItHot #TCMParty

I have to be honest. It’s like Citizen Kane for me. It’s a good comedy, Jack Lemmon is great in it. I don’t think it’s the funniest movie ever made. #TCMParty #SomeLikeItHot
