TCM Party screens Kubrick’s The Killing

I’m glad I found this part of social media for a plethora of reasons. One of them is it’s one of the few places it’s cool to share your love of classic film actors. Where else can you gather to appreciate Sterling Hayden? #TheKilling #TCMParty

#NoirChecklist for #BluesInTheNight: -“Night” in title -Sap protagonist -Good girl vs bad girl -Incongruous nightclub number(s) -Bonkers musical nightmare, then… -Busby Berkeley-on-LSD musical nightmare -Triple crossing femme-fatale -More 3rd act twists than Betty Field’s hair #TCMParty #NoirAlley

I feel like I should think that movie was too ridiculous but I don't. I think I freaking love that hot mess. #BluesInTheNight #NoirAlley #TCMParty

Everything about #RearWindow is perfect but it's my love of Thelma Ritter that brings me back every time. #TCMParty

This late night is positively #TCMUnderground worthy. Not just one "Street Fighter" movie, but THREE. Wow! Since I rely on what is on cable and don't do streaming services, I have never seen a single "Street Fighter" movie. Now, I will see three of them. 😀 #TheStreetFighter #TCMParty

The jazziness of the score during the opening credits is really jumping out to me this time. #RearWindow #TCMParty

That was a good one tonight. We had fun with all of you. Until next time, stay blue! #NoirAlley #TCMParty

Wow. This may be the first movie I saw where someone coughed and didn’t die in the film. His cough was a red herring. #bluesinthenight #tcmparty #classicfilm #noiralley

Phew, happy ending--those musicians deserved it. Thanks for the chat all, that was so much fun! Not a movie I would have sought on my own, but surprisingly, wonderfully bonkers and fascinating noir. #TCMParty #NoirAlley #BluesInTheNight

One of my favorite movie experiences ever was taking my parents to see the reissue of REAR WINDOW in 1983. They had seen it on a date in 1954. And they held hands like teenagers throughout most of the movie! 🥰 #tcmparty @tcmtv.bsky.social @tcmparty.bsky.social @tcmfans.bsky.social

Absolutely enjoyed #BluesInTheNight and its wild and wacky montage sequence. And who knew there was a "Montage Department" in charge of these things?? Jeepers, the things I learn in the Alley. See all you Noiristas next time! #NoirAlley #TCMParty

Kubrick’s films always look & feel so real to me, even when they’re in some fantastical situation. I’m not filmically eloquent or educated enough to explain why. It’s the naturalistic performances, the lighting, the staging, the depth of focus. They’re like documentaries. #TheKilling #tcmparty

#TCMParty What in the name of God does Lisa see in this dismissive, cuttingly sarcastic, self-aggrandizing, casually cruel bore. Jesus, I would marry this woman.

For the last 13+ years I've lived in an apartment with a #RearWindow –like view of the apartments and condos in the buildings behind mine. The things I've seen. One thing I didn't see is the double murder that occurred in my own building a few Christmases ago, as my dog and I slept. #TCMParty

Damn. That’s harsh. I feel like Brad should take responsibility for his own choices. #TCMParty #NoirAlley #BluesInTheNight
